On Saturday, May 10, 2025, Adil Rami emerged victorious in the fourth season of the popular reality show "Les Traîtres," aired on M6. In a gripping finale, Rami outsmarted his fellow contestants, Alizé Cornet and Rose THR, who mistakenly believed there were no traitors left among them. The former football star, who had skillfully concealed his role as a traitor, attributed his success to strategic collaboration with Sophie Tapie, a fellow contestant who played a crucial role in the game.
The atmosphere during the final episode was tense as Rami, Cornet, and THR faced off in the ultimate table round. The loyal contestants, convinced of their victory, decided to halt the voting process, unaware that Rami had been manipulating the game from the start. "There was a moment where I thought I wouldn’t hold on. I got attached to all these people, and my guilt was growing," Rami confessed in an interview with Gala.
Rami's journey in the competition was marked by a mix of emotions, as he struggled with the deceitful nature of his role. "I had the confirmation that I wasn’t a bad guy because the role of traitor affected me a lot. Being in lies and manipulation is clearly not me," he shared. Despite the emotional toll, Rami's strategic prowess allowed him to navigate the complexities of the game successfully.
His victory came with a cash prize of 44,000 euros, which he decided to share with Tapie, as they both aimed to support charitable causes through their participation in the show. Rami's winnings will be donated to the Léo association, which focuses on funding research and combating pediatric cancers and leukemia.
Reflecting on his experience, Rami expressed gratitude towards Tapie, stating, "Without Sophie, I wouldn’t have won this season. She was an extremely intelligent, dominant, self-assured, and convincing partner." The duo's complementary strengths proved vital in outmaneuvering their opponents throughout the competition.
Rami's background as a professional athlete provided him with the mental fortitude to withstand the pressures of the game. "Having endured media pressure and the intensity of the field helped me a lot during this adventure," he noted. However, he admitted that the emotional weight of his actions weighed heavily on him, as he developed genuine bonds with his fellow contestants.
As the final moments unfolded, Rami's revelation of his role as a traitor shocked the remaining contestants. "I felt relief and, at the same time, a lot of guilt towards my comrades who trusted me throughout the game," he said. The emotional gravity of his actions was palpable as he faced the disappointment of those he had deceived.
During the final table round, Rami had to confront the reality of his betrayal. After successfully eliminating two members of his own clan, Logfive and Liane Foly, he found himself in a precarious position, surrounded by loyalists who had no idea of his true intentions. The tension escalated when Sophie Tapie was quickly exposed, leaving Rami to fend for himself against the remaining contestants.
In a dramatic twist, Rami revealed his identity as a traitor, prompting shock and disbelief among Cornet and THR. "I am a traitor," he declared, eliciting a stunned response from his fellow contestants. "I am relieved because it was the worst moment of my life. Every night, I cried. I suffered," he admitted, underscoring the emotional toll of his deception.
Despite the turmoil, Rami's victory was celebrated by many fans, who praised his strategic gameplay. Social media erupted with reactions, some lauding his cunning tactics while others expressed disappointment over his betrayal. Rami's ability to maintain his cover throughout the season earned him a reputation as a master strategist.
Following his win, Rami's future seems bright as he continues to explore opportunities in entertainment, including his recent participation in "Danse avec les stars." He is also the president of Wolf Pack FC, a team he created for the Kings League, a football competition initiated by Gerard Piqué.
As Rami navigates life after the show, he reflects on the lessons learned during his time in "Les Traîtres." He acknowledges the complexity of human relationships and the challenges of balancing personal connections with competitive strategy. "I realized that I am hypersensitive. I understood that I cannot play a role that goes against my nature for too long. It disturbs me," he stated, indicating a newfound self-awareness.
In the end, Adil Rami's journey through "Les Traîtres" was not just about winning a game; it was a profound exploration of trust, betrayal, and the human experience. As he moves forward, Rami remains committed to using his platform for good, supporting charitable causes and fostering connections with those he met along the way.
