Only time will tell.

I\u2019d like to think I wouldn\u2019t factor in sentimentality, even though I said close friendships were a big part of my game plan. I\u2019d like to think I could take out emotion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt makes me sound like a really horrible person but I\u2019m a compassionate person. It is a game and I think I\u2019ll be able to have the guile to recognise that. I think I\u2019d be even more brutal than Wilfred\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>If <\/strong><strong>you\u2019re a Faithful, what do you think your game plan would be?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI guess it\u2019s tricky. I was really thinking about the first couple of episodes and how I\u2019m going to act and behave to try and avoid getting the boot on the first episode. I think the best way is to sit in the middle in the first few episodes. If you\u2019re absolutely certain someone is a Traitor, I think you should be loud about it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI think you should call it out straight away because if you\u2019re right and you trust your gut feeling the odds are they can\u2019t vote you off because they\u2019re not going to do that, so you have protection, you basically have immunity if you figure it out immediately. But on the other hand, you don\u2019t want to raise suspicions so it\u2019s probably best to keep quiet for the first couple of episodes before you know for certain who is who.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI guess I can lean on my understanding of facial expressions and tonalities and the way people talk and look. I\u2019m really bigging myself up and I know I\u2019m going to bottle it!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cHopefully, I\u2019ll stick in the middle, I\u2019m not going to be dead quiet, not going to attract any attention and say nothing, but I\u2019m not going to say everything or give my hand away.\u201d<\/p> <p><strong>The Traitors season 2 starts on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Wednesday 3rd January 2024. <\/strong><strong>The Traitors season 1 is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for something else to watch?
