Oh, my gosh, there's so much to say! 27 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,560 Harriet, I know you feel the same. Yes. 28 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,120 You're very happy that we're onto a new series cycle now. 29 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,640 I'm so, so happy to be moving into the spectator role. 30 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,640 I mean, watching it, 31 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,920 it's amazing so far. Mm-hm. 32 00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:24,040 I mean, I knew, from the moment the cast was announced, 33 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,760 quite how incredible it would be, and it is totally delivering. 34 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,080 And, obviously, you're known as a bit of a Traitor hunter. 35 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,920 As you are, Jake, as well. 36 00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:34,040 Harriet, who do you think has what it takes 37 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,760 to sniff out the Traitors in there? 38 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,560 I think Julie has got a very, very sharp eye 39 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,040 for what's going on. 40 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,240 I was really impressed with how she was speaking 41 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,840 at the Round Table as well. I think that she will be very good. 42 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,280 But she's going to need to make sure she keeps a lid on it, 43 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,320 so that people aren't too kind of suspicious of her suspicions. 44 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,840 Jake, as a former Faithful winner... Yeah. 45 00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,600 ..out of Team Faithful this year, 46 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,440 who do you think's got what it takes to go all the way? 47 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,440 Ooh... I do agree with Harriet - 48 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:09,320 I think Julie's got probably the best logic so far. 49 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,240 I also like James Blunt. I think he comes... 50 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,880 I like what he said about sometimes the most obvious thing 51 00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:15,520 is the most simple thing. Yeah. 52 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,920 Cos people like to just overcomplicate it too much, 53 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,720 where he thinks very logical. 54 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,240 So I do think, if he can stay under the radar, he could go far. 55 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,240 I do like that he said that at the Round Table - 56 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,280 "Sometimes the most obvious, simple thing 57 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:28,960 "is the thing that we should go for."Yeah. 58 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,680 But he wasn't talking about Richard E Grant saying he was a Traitor. 59 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:32,880 THEY LAUGH No. 60 00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:34,320 Which is surely the most simple thing 61 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,640 that's happened on the show so far. 62 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,720 I mean, it's there on a plate, delivered. 63 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,120 Oh... 64 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,640 Look, we're only two episodes in. 65 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,640 We've already had a recruitment, a murder, graves, coffins, 66 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,560 and a huge Round Table cliff-hanger. 67 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,160 Tameka, let's talk about recruitment. 68 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,520 What do you think of the latest Traitor recruitment? 69 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,280 Well, the way they went about it weren't great. 70 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,640 THEY LAUGH 71 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,240 Oh, I would have hated to have been in that room. 72 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,720 James - he was so adamant and he was so after Richard. 73 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,240 And now that he's been recruited, 74 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,520 it'll been very interesting to see how he's going to downplay that. 75 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:10,920 Yeah.But I don't think he should. 76 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,000 I think he should stick just at Richard. Yeah. 77 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,280 Because it'd be harder for him to switch back 78 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,200 and be like, "Oh, it's not Richard any more." Agreed. 79 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,480 It's too complicated now to be like, 80 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,600 "Oh, yeah, you know what I said yesterday? Scrap that." Yeah. 81 00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:21,720 Just doesn't work. 82 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,320 Do you think there's any chance for Richard at this point?No. No. 83 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,120 There's so little to go on for the first Round Table. 84 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,160 I mean, you know, you're looking for people switching mood... 85 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,040 You're clutching at straws, 86 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,800 and you've just been given a massive great hay bale of them. 87 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,200 Yeah. I think he's doomed. 88 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,800 And if he isn't doomed, the Faithful do not deserve any kind of victory. 89 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,280 Wow. I'm sorry. Yeah. 90 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,120 Wait till we see it, babe! THEY LAUGH 91 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,960 You know what I mean? You've called it very early. 92 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,440 Episode Two - "Faithfuls are doomed!" 93 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,760 "If they mess this up, they do not deserve a win." 94 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,000 I'm just saying how I see it. Yeah.Sorry. 95 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,680 So it wasn't all focused on Richard on the Round Table. 96 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,280 Obviously, we had some heat on Leigh-Anne, Tameka.Yes. 97 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,680 Joanne's theory - it's actually Hannah's theory 98 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,760 that that Joanne then went, "Oh, I'm having that. 99 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,520 "I'm bringing that up at the Round Table" - 100 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,160 that she put on make-up very late in the evening. 101 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,400 Well, one wants to touch up every so often. 102 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,880 Do you know what I mean? I don't see that as a big thing. 103 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,400 I hope Leigh-Anne can really defend herself on that one, though. Yeah. 104 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:15,920 Because I just think that... 105 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,680 I mean, I suppose you are clutching at straws. 106 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,320 It's, like, the first Round Table. Yeah.What do you have to go on? 107 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,000 I think it's in the top five worst ever, 108 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,360 like, in terms of, like, theories I've ever heard. Yeah! 109 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,400 She's touching up, a little touch-up. Put on some lip gloss. 110 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,120 You're on TV. She wants to look nice. Yeah. 111 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,400 You've got someone in the castle saying, "I am a Traitor." 112 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:35,960 "Nah. No. They put lip gloss on!" 113 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,040 And this girl put on lip gloss? "Absolutely." Yeah. 114 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,720 Kenny also got straight in at the Round Table. 115 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,240 The first thing that happened. Ha! Kenny! 116 00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:46,960 Richard E Grant has said he's a Traitor, 117 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,280 and you would have thought maybe first thing at the Round Table, 118 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,600 maybe bring that up. 119 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,000 He's straight in after Julie, 120 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,720 because she was voted most trustworthy at the church.Yeah. 121 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,240 But, also, did you notice that when they were buried together, 122 00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:00,600 he's like, "Look, it's just me and you in here..." 123 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,960 THEY LAUGH "Are you a Traitor?" 124 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,120 I said, "Ken, man..." 125 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,800 You know, there's a camera here. But I love what he's doing. 126 00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:08,520 I love what he's doing and how he's playing it. 127 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:09,760 But he's gone after Julie. 128 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,120 So this is all based on this thing 129 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,240 that happened in the church when they all first arrived, 130 00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:15,440 that Shields were handed out to the most trustworthy.Yeah. 131 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,960 And then Julie got a chance to give one, 132 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,400 and she gave it to Joe Lycett. 133 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,760 This seems to have already had a massive effect on the game. 134 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,880 There's theories that that was them selecting the Traitors. 135 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,720 I know! Again, another top five contender. 136 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,400 Yeah.It's just wild. 137 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,960 So you're saying, in one episode, we've had two of the worst theories 138 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,560 ever on Traitors? All-time. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. 139 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,400 So James Blunt's theory...Oh, yeah. 140 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,480 ..which he said, "We've got to look at the simple things," 141 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,680 that Amol was killed cos he was a threat.Mm-hm. 142 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,400 But then the next biggest threat is Hannah Fry. 143 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:43,560 Sorry! 144 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,080 I thought he was going to say James Acaster. I love that. 145 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,760 So Hannah must have been recruited. 146 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,400 It was beautiful. That was hilarious. 147 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,760 It was beautiful. Hilarious. 148 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,440 Do you think people are going to catch on to this? 149 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,720 Do you think people are going to start going after Hannah 150 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:56,800 because of this? 151 00:05:56,840 --> 00:05:59,160 Cos she's obviously known as an incredibly intelligent woman.Yeah. 152 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,160 I think it would be smart not to murder her. 153 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,960 I had thought she would be likely to be murdered next. 154 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,680 But, actually, I'm wondering if it will be Jerry, just to... 155 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,200 The more people you can have in the mix to be thrown under suspicion, 156 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,240 the better. Yeah. I mean, just look at Ross. 157 00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:19,560 Just look at Ross and his... the hyper twitchiness. 158 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,120 "She touched me on... Oh, my..." I was like... 159 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,680 That's one of my favourite moments on Traitors ever. 160 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,360 I love it. Love it so much. 161 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,320 It's the hat, and then the arm. It's walking through... 162 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,080 No, but it was the arm for me! 163 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,880 But he actually was going one way, and stopped, 164 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,440 and gave her a look. 165 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,800 Full rotation.Mate! 166 00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:38,520 I thought he was going to take her out. 167 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,160 THEY LAUGH 168 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,720 But you know what I love about him as well? He's a team player. 169 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:43,920 Oh! Oh... 170 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,440 You want him on your team. 171 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,720 That mission? Yeah. Oh, my God. That man can dig. 172 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,000 I loved the fact that they got everybody out. I thought that was... 173 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,440 And his mentality, as well. 174 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,920 Because he's not playing it just for himself. 175 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,440 He's like, "Get everybody out." 176 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,400 Cos you need somebody like that. Yeah. 177 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:01,800 You need somebody who's in control. 178 00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:03,920 I mean, he's somebody that you want to stay in. 179 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,720 He's a machine, that man. He's a machine. 180 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,920 He's going to make sure that you get the money. 181 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,920 Tameka, have you worked with Ross on EastEnders? 182 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,200 Did you cross paths? Yes, we have. 183 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,880 We have crossed paths. 184 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,160 He took me out of the Vic when it was burning down. 185 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,000 Oh, wow.So he saved Kim's life. 186 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,520 That's pretty intense. He saved your life? 187 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,520 Yeah, he saved my life. I've been lifted by Ross. 188 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,960 And was he supposed to be there that day, or did he just turn up? 189 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,720 He heard...

A bit like from Episode Two - 307 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,240 it's clear that Hannah is someone who's a target straight away. 308 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,200 And I told myself in advance, 309 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,080 "Just shut up. 310 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,600 "Shut up. Just don't... Just shut up, man." 311 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,920 I do think you've just been a bit unfortunate, though. 312 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,560 Because I went straight for Linda, and I survived. 313 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,280 So there's no right or wrong. Oh, cheers, mate. 314 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:25,680 THEY LAUGH 315 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,080 What I'm trying to say is, though... Are you here to make me feel better? 316 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,080 You sit me next to a former winner, as well. 317 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,520 Just to show you the difference between someone gets to the end 318 00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:34,280 and someone who gets knocked out. 319 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,960 I'm trying to show you that, like, it's just unfortunate timing. 320 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,000 I believe if it wasn't for that recruitment, 321 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,760 you would have been all right. Yeah, I agree. 322 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,520 Yeah, because the Traitors wouldn't normally murder someone 323 00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:45,440 who was immediately onto them. No. No. 324 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,680 Because that feels like an easy way of putting a red flag up. 325 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,720 But then Richard had already put up the biggest flag 326 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,880 we've ever seen in the history of Traitors. 327 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,200 What was that about? Yeah. 328 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:55,360 THEY LAUGH 329 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,560 I mean, no-one's ever done that before. No, no. 330 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,560 And, I mean, who knows what... 331 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,880 I think the one tactic that you should try to abide by 332 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,840 is to keep a little bit, you know, fly under the radar a little bit. 333 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,760 For the first few days. 334 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,600 You just shut up for the first few shows. 335 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,160 And I just...I just... 336 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,920 But do you know what? Maybe you're just passionate. Yes. 337 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,880 And you can't help but be you. Oh, thanks. 338 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,360 Do you know what I mean? And I think that's what happened. 339 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,280 You didn't get where you are today by shutting up.Yeah! 340 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,600 This has turned into therapy, I love it. 341 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,880 Lie down on the couch. Move over. THEY LAUGH 342 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,760 Move over. Lie down. 343 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,560 You want me to tell you all about my mother? 344 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,880 How was it, watching the chapel experience back? 345 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,240 Did it remind you of what was going through your head? 346 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,680 So it was absolutely terrifying watching it back. 347 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,080 And I don't know about you guys, 348 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,160 but I don't go to chapels very often. 349 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,400 THEY LAUGH 350 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,840 And when I do, I don't see Traitors, 351 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,600 and I don't see James Acaster looking baffled. 352 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,360 And I'm thinking, "What?! What is it?" 353 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,000 And I've been on this mad roller-coaster until then. 354 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,000 And then Claudia comes out. 355 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,360 Harriet, you had your own chapel moment in your series, of course. 356 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:00,520 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 357 00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:02,640 So that obviously brought back some memories, watching that. 358 00:14:02,680 --> 00:14:04,600 That was triggering. It's-it's... 359 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,480 What you were saying earlier about the fear of it, 360 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,160 honestly, that was the most terrifying experience of my life, 361 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,960 walking into the chapel knowing that there were... 362 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,760 Well, I mean, I thought there were, what, five Traitors 363 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,960 behind the confessional screen. But it's so atmospheric. 364 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,040 There's so much going on. 365 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,680 You've been on such a kind of roller-coaster - 366 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,160 "Am I going to be the first out? Am I not? 367 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,080 "Am I getting recruited or...?" It was only when Claudia said, 368 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,560 "You're going to have to plead, and face-to-face," 369 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,320 I think that's where I just sort of, like, crumbled 370 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:35,960 and I'm like, "Oh, this is just..." 371 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,640 No, what made me laugh was, "After you, James..."! 372 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,600 "After you, James!" Oh, yeah... "After you, James." 373 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,600 Yeah, was that to try and get to see what he said first 374 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,400 so you could beat it? Was that your thought process? 375 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,400 To be honest, I was buying time. 376 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,360 Do you do you regret that decision now, going second? 377 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,560 Cos obviously he made his plea, 378 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,600 and then you followed up with your plea, 379 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,040 and I think you had some similar points to his plea, 380 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,640 and whether that may have damaged your chances of being recruited. 381 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,280 And it's interesting, Richard said, didn't he, in Episode Two, 382 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,880 that he was quite persuaded by one of James's points 383 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,720 about how he could deflect. Yeah. 384 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,480 And obviously that word "deflect" helped Richard an awful lot. 385 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,960 I don't think I would have done a better job going first. Yeah. 386 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,160 But when you're lying down in that coffin... 387 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,400 ..you want one thing so much, 388 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,640 which is to be recruited, 389 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,680 and you want the other thing so little. 390 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,440 Like, obviously I wish I'd been chosen 391 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:29,920 and I wish I'd been a Traitor. 392 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,760 I can say, hand on heart, that if I'd been chosen 393 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,560 as a Traitor in the first - when Maya and Richard were - 394 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,280 if I'd got the nod at the, er... or the tap at the Round Table, 395 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:40,680 I think it would have thrown me a bit. 396 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,480 I'd be like, "What am I doing? What's going...?" 397 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,960 Having genuinely spent a day as a Faithful, 398 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,680 if I'd then been recruited, 399 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,600 I think I would have been quite a good Traitor 400 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,160 because I'd actually known what it was like to be a Faithful. 401 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,000 Yeah.Yeah. I know it sounds a bit weird, 402 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,880 but if I'd been recruited as a Traitor, 403 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,080 I sort of had learnt the script... Yeah...for a day about saying, 404 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,160 "Look, guys, I'm a Faithful and I'm telling you, 405 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,840 "this is what you need to know." So I think... 406 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,360 Doesn't everyone think they would have been a great Traitor, though? 407 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:06,720 No, but I do, I can see it, 408 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,840 I could see you've got the right sort of mindset 409 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,680 that you're...you're ruthless enough to be a Traitor. 410 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:12,920 Cos I think being a Traitor 411 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,080 isn't just about, um, obviously murdering people - 412 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,760 you've got to be ruthless enough to not have too many connections. 413 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,120 Cos people get too emotional, 414 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,040 and I think quite often a Traitor's downfall 415 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,080 is they get too connected to the Faithfuls 416 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,480 because I think you... I don't know you very well, 417 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,920 but I think you'd have that kind of distinct, like, 418 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,400 "Now I'm going to be a Traitor. I can be a friend during the day, 419 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:33,680 "but I can be a killer at night-time." 420 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:34,720 Do you know what I mean? 421 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,240 I feel like I've known you for years, mate. 422 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,080 And that's a compliment, I think. Yeah! 423 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,840 What you said to Richard was, 424 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,240 "I can help deflect all the heat away from you." 425 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,160 Did you mean that in your plea? 426 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,520 Well, no, because I was hating on him quite a lot at the time. 427 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,480 I was thinking... Would you have gone in the next day, 428 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,800 had you been recruited, and tried to get the heat off Richard's back, 429 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,080 or would you have played it exactly as you had done the previous day? 430 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:57,960 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, if you're in there... 431 00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,840 If you're on the team, you're on the team, you know? 432 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:01,040 And, um...if I'd been... 433 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,640 Yeah, watching Episode Two and the Round Table, 434 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,080 I was wondering whether or not 435 00:17:06,120 --> 00:17:09,640 Maya was going to come to Richard's defence a little bit more. 436 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,440 And I like that decoy thing of like, where you kind of... 437 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,120 If I'd been Maya, I'd have been like, 438 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,320 "Richard, obviously I'm looking at you as well, 439 00:17:17,360 --> 00:17:18,360 "but I actually think X..." 440 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,920 Like, I would have tried to be slightly too clever about it. 441 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,440 But I would have come to Richard's... 442 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,040 I would have come to Richard's defence. 443 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,040 Because this is why Richard decided to recruit James, 444 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,760 so he could defend him at the Round Table. 445 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,040 And James said nothing.Nothing! 446 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,640 He ain't got the heart for it. 447 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,720 So you feel like part of your downfall 448 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,960 was the, er... the going after Richard so quickly. 449 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,200 Um, you wasted no time confronting Richard in the billiard room. 450 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,880 Let's see how that played out. Oh, dear. 451 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,440 I'm feeling very excited to chat to you. 452 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,280 OK. 453 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,280 What happened last night? 454 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,160 You are the lord of chaos. Well, the game had actually started. 455 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,040 I was so relieved that it started 456 00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,440 because I had been so blatant about saying 457 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,400 that I came into this thing, and it's called Traitors, 458 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,200 because I wanted to be a Traitor. 459 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,440 So when I walked into the bar and somebody said, 460 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:08,720 "So are you a Faithful or a Traitor?" 461 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,040 I said, "I'm a Traitor, of course!" 462 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,360 THEY LAUGH 463 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:13,800 Ha-ha! 464 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,720 What do we think of Richard's defence there? 465 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,160 At the time, did you think that was a cogent defence? 466 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,280 I'm just so annoyed at myself, watching that back. Aw! 467 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:22,840 It's just so obvious. It's all ju... 468 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,080 In hindsight it's just all so obvious now, I mean... Oh! 469 00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:27,960 No, Richard... 470 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,080 ..is very, very hard cos he's a brilliant actor. Mm. 471 00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:33,000 He's a brilliant actor. 472 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,120 And Traitors is a game where you act. 473 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,720 And he's a very, very unusual guy. 474 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,600 He's a very...

He looks extraordinary, 475 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,960 he's got this amazing voice, he projects. 476 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,720 He dresses in this kind of flamboyant sort of way. 477 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,040 He's very... Like, he is this lord of chaos. 478 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,440 He's this... There's this kind of whirlwind going through... 479 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,320 ..and it's, like, called Richard E Grant. 480 00:18:52,360 --> 00:18:54,520 If, you know, I hadn't gone into the chapel, 481 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,720 I remember thinking at the time, "When it comes to the Round Table, 482 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,000 "I've got such little information, I'm going to go after Richard." 483 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,800 Yeah.That was... So that was... That was what I was thinking. 484 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,120 I was like, my... He was definitely in my kind of suspicions 485 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,480 even after that. But you know, watching that back, 486 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,240 I just think, "Why didn't I just... 487 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,800 "..follow the game plan? You know, just shut up." 488 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,200 You were true to yourself. I don't want to... 489 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,440 Yeah, but you're not meant to be true to yourself! 490 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,640 Literally! Literally, this is where... Rule one. 491 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,360 Rule one - lie. 492 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,800 Lie to everyone about everything all the time, 493 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,120 especially yourself. Like, just like, play the game. 494 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:30,160 And I know... It's funny, 495 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:31,840 I'm interested to see how it all plays out. 496 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,200 Amol, did you have any suspicions 497 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,280 on other people before you went into the chapel? 498 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,960 Had you sniffed out any other sort of lies or suspicions? 499 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,880 I'd love to pretend I had. 500 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,480 I've got to say there was... I mean, 501 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,400 Ross Kemp is this, like, walking, talking festival of paranoia. 502 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,760 And I think that if you spent enough time in war zones, 503 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,040 as he has done, 504 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,880 and you spent enough time sort of with hard nuts, as he has done, 505 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,400 you can see why everyone's trying to kill you all the time. Mm. 506 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,360 But in retrospect, it's just so funny. 507 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:57,480 Let's see what happens. 508 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:58,560 But I just want people to know, 509 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,480 Ross Kemp would not shut up about being murdered in plain sight. 510 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,800 And there's two chapters. First of all, there was Bella. 511 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,080 "Why has that hat got on me? What...?" 512 00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:09,040 "I just got a hat put on me out of nowhere." 513 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,120 And then the arm and it was, like, "Oh, my God, Ross," and he was... 514 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,720 So I thought Ross might have been playing a clever, clever game. 515 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,400 My favourite moment, that, cos I've watched it a few times now, 516 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,880 cos it's one of my favourite things that's ever happened on Traitors, 517 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,720 I think. The hat is incredible, 518 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,280 the rub on the arm and the full turn to look at Leigh-Anne.Full turn. 519 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,120 But then it's when he walks into the room 520 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,280 and he goes, "Oh, lads, it's happened again." 521 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,480 THEY LAUGH 522 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,920 So, what, you think you've been murdered twice now? 523 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,400 He's still alive! Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah, exactly. 524 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,560 You think they've double killed you? Yeah, exactly. 525 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,880 He kept... He was so funny. He was like, "Why would she do that?" 526 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,000 We talked a lot about Richard, 527 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,920 but we should talk about Maya as a Traitor and how she's doing. 528 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,040 Amol, how do you think Maya's doing? 529 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,240 Because you seemed surprised to see her under that hood. 530 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,760 I really liked Maya, and we were getting on so well. 531 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,080 And when she came forth in that chapel and she took the hood, 532 00:20:56,120 --> 00:20:58,000 I actually felt a little bit let down, 533 00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,640 and I felt a little bit like, 534 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,160 "But what happened to our budding relationship?" 535 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,520 I don't mean that in a... We were, like, getting on really well. 536 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,440 "Was anything real?"Exactly! 537 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,160 I kind of like, I was just like... She was... 538 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,600 She was in the zone! Yeah, yeah. 539 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,920 She was in the zone. She was like, focused, 540 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,040 absolute straight-faced. There was...she was giving nothing away. 541 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,800 So I was a little bit like, "Wow, you are evil." 542 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,480 Why do you think that Maya and Richard 543 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,240 chose to murder Amol in the end, and not James Acaster? 544 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,120 That's a question to all three of you. 545 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,840 I think you were the bigger threat. 546 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,320 I think that's what the reason was. I think James, 547 00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:36,080 maybe they could manipulate more and kind of get him onside, 548 00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:38,280 whereas I think they'd seen you as more of a threat. 549 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,480 Maybe they didn't believe that you would deflect. 550 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,720 I think maybe they thought there's a higher chance 551 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,280 that Richard would get banished if you were to stick around. 552 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:47,520 That's my thought process. 553 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,520 Everything that he said. Yeah? Yeah. No, I do think so. 554 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,880 I think that as well, because I think... 555 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,840 Maybe it's because of your job, that you wouldn't let it go, 556 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:02,800 do you know? And I think that, again, if they were to recruit you, 557 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,360 how faithful would you be to the Traitors? 558 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,280 Do you know what I mean? Would you really be a team player as well? 559 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,480 I think it would... 560 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:17,040 Everybody knows you're a journalist with great tenacity. 561 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,440 For you to have done a switch overnight, 562 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,960 not to be going after Richard, would have been... 563 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,560 It would have been impossible. 564 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,360 And I think Richard would have known 565 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,960 that you were going to have to keep going at him for your own survival. 566 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,360 And it really was between him and you. 567 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,200 I mean, it's a compliment, really... You're basically too smart. 568 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,840 ..to be the first to go in this situation. 569 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,400 Yeah, you're too good, man. You know, you did too well. 570 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,640 You should have got on your hands and knees and begged. Yeah. 571 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,160 That's what you should have done. 572 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,760 Yeah. That's all... That's very, very nice of you guys. 573 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,320 Would you...? What would your game plan as a Traitor have been? 574 00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:52,080 Do you have an idea of who you would have wanted to murder first? 575 00:22:52,120 --> 00:22:55,440 I really love the thing that... 576 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,120 In the Stephen and Rachel series, um, 577 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,320 where it was just like doing something completely random, 578 00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:02,280 just like, they'll be... Everyone's going to... 579 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,440 Do something that throws them off, that makes them think... 580 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,200 So I'd have chosen random people that you couldn't explain. 581 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,160 So, I mean, Hannah Fry, who's, er...not for nothing, 582 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,040 a professor and one of the smartest people in Britain, 583 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,840 and one of the nicest, had that lovely moment in the Round Table 584 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,360 where I thought she was clever in her saying, 585 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,280 "These Traitors are not confident, 586 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,560 "because they've picked off someone who they see as a threat. 587 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,600 "That's not a confident move." Mm. 588 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,880 And I think... I mean, we'll see what happens with Hannah, 589 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,840 but I think there is a thing where, if you do the obvious thing, 590 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,160 everyone... you're giving, leaving information. 591 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,960 If you do something that's not obvious... 592 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,440 So I'd have targeted someone literally quite random. 593 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:37,960 I'd have ta... I'd have... 594 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,360 If I'd been a Traitor, I'd have gone, "OK, Bash..." 595 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,360 So Bash - incredibly interesting player, right? 596 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,840 Um, he says in one of the episodes 597 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,240 that he's, you know, he's really, really into the game. 598 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,720 He mastered the lie-low. Yes. Right? 599 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,960 Bash and Sharon are the ones that just seem to be, 600 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,800 like, just taking it all in, gathering information. 601 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,160 And had I been a Traitor, I would have thought, 602 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,400 "Let's just confuse people by going after 603 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,760 "and just murdering someone that they just don't understand." 604 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,200 Amol, do you think that the Faithful will cotton on 605 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,800 to James Acaster as a Traitor? 606 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,120 Because obviously the comedian theories flying around, 607 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,200 do you think they're going to start picking up on something? 608 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,040 I think James's, um, awkwardness, 609 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,360 because of that, he's liable to leave very few clues. 610 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,040 So I don't think that he's an obvious candidate. 611 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:29,960 It's people like Ross who are just... 612 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,320 At the moment it's all about Ross, do you know what I mean? Yeah. 613 00:24:32,360 --> 00:24:34,640 Ross had a thing put on his head, he got rubbed on the arm, 614 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,400 he's got this theory, he's the one that saved Romesh. 615 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,440 Obviously with all these theories, you can always flip it 616 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,040 and say the truth about Traitors is that they are silent but violent, 617 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,120 and that maybe their silence is the...is the clue. 618 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,560 But, no, I think James is a very effective Traitor 619 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,760 because he's not worked out how he wants to play it. 620 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:57,000 Was your experience in the game harder or easier than you imagined? 621 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,720 I would just say it was... 622 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,080 Not to sound like a deflecting politician, 623 00:25:01,120 --> 00:25:02,320 but it was kind of both. 624 00:25:02,360 --> 00:25:06,040 I will treasure for the rest of my days being in a wet suit, 625 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,520 being driven in a Land Rover with blacked-out windows, 626 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,320 to somewhere that I've never been before or will ever go again. 627 00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:15,400 And it's a loch.
