00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,640
Hello, and welcome to the Celebrity
Traitors: Uncloaked, Episode Two.
2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,880
This is your official
video companion podcast with me...
3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,480
There's going to be a truckload
of spoilers for the second episode
4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:11,520
of the new series,
5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,320
so make sure you've watched that
on BBC iPlayer before this.
6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,680
Amol Rajan is here to give us his
reaction to being the first player
7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,680
to leave the game
in that shocking chapel twist.
8
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,280
We'll discuss that dramatic
Round Table cliff-hanger,
9
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,880
and make our predictions on which
celebrity will be banished first.
10
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,080
Plus, we have some former players
joining us -
11
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,960
Celebrity Traitors Series One
star Tameka Empson,
12
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,720
along with Harriet from Series Four,
13
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,720
and Jake from Series Three!
14
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,720
{\an8}CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
15
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,360
So nice to have you all here.
16
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,200
Tameka, Harriet, Jake,
thank you very much for joining me.
17
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,560
A lot of stuff to talk about.
18
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,600
A lot has happened
in these first two episodes.
19
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,800
Tameka, what are you thinking
of the second series
20
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,320
of Celebrity Traitors so far?
21
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,200
Ah!
22
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,520
Ahhh!
23
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,360
I'm loving it.
THEY LAUGH
24
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,120
I'm really loving it.
25
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,240
But, my God, it takes me right back.
26
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,040
And that Round Table...
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... You mean you don't
watch EastEnders?
190
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,240
"We got to get people out of
this fire!"There was the Bat-Call.
191
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,800
Yeah! I felt...
I knew I was going to live.
192
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,360
I knew I was going to survive
because he was there. Yeah.
193
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:36,520
And he took me up.
194
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,440
And he loves me a mission, baby.
195
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,680
Oh, yeah, he loves a mission.
196
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:41,800
Team Kemp!
197
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,280
Can we also take a moment
for Rob Beckett's running commentary
198
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:46,480
on the players' fashion sense?
199
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,840
{\an8}You can't sit like that with
that jacket on.
200
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,040
{\an8}You look like...
201
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,400
{\an8}You look like
the Honey Monster's lost his head.
202
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:53,600
{\an8}Mission time, James.
203
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:54,960
{\an8}Who are you with?
204
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,760
James Blunt, the bloke
in the fighter pilot's outfit.
205
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,840
Top Gun. Tom Cruise! Tom Cruise!
Yeah.
206
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,080
Also, shout out for Rob
in Episode One
207
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,560
saying that Julie
looked like a cardinal.
208
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,760
I've never seen anyone
wear a Shield better.
209
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,200
Yeah, wear a Shield with the red.
210
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,440
The Shield with the red
was just perfection. Oh...!
211
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,320
Whoa, man.
212
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,400
Oh, my... It's a funny series, mate.
213
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,640
It's a funny series! Very funny.
214
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,720
I also love the fact that Rob
and Romesh are both Faithfuls. Yes.
215
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,840
Cos I just feel like
they're going to go at each other.
216
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,040
If they're the last ones...
217
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,720
There was a moment in Episode One
where they took a moment,
218
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:33,360
just them afterwards, and just went,
"Is it you?" "Is it you?"
219
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,560
I think they know each other
so well.Yeah. Yeah, yeah...
220
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,240
Surely they'll be able
to trust each other.
221
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,120
Oh, that's a great partnership.
You say that, though.
222
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,680
But then after, like, a week...
Yeah.
223
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,360
..I reckon
they'll start to doubt each other.
224
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,920
Cos, also, I think
that's what I would have expected,
225
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,000
that one of them would have
been made a Traitor.Yeah.
226
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,840
This is much cleverer. Yeah.Yeah.
227
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,920
Cos you just let the paranoia
happen.So much more fun.
228
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,040
See how they play
against each other.
229
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,760
Oh, it's a good series, guys.
Keep watching. Yeah, yeah.
230
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,080
You heard! Tameka's told you now.
It's a good series.
231
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,600
You've got to keep watching, guys.
Keep watching, guys. Keep watching.
232
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,400
Now, tonight,
the Traitors had to pick
233
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,880
between James Acaster
and Amol Rajan.
234
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,360
One would be recruited,
the other murdered.
235
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,240
They chose to send Amol
to his grave.
236
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,360
So here's what he had to say just
moments after being murdered
237
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,120
face-to-face up in Scotland.
238
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,000
CHEERING
239
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,160
Come on, soak it up, soak it up.
240
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,840
Hi, Amol.Great to see you, brother.
How are you? Take a seat.
241
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,440
Take a seat.How are you?
How am I? How are you, more like?
242
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,200
I wish I wasn't here, to be honest.
243
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:32,480
No-one wants to be
the first person out.
244
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:33,960
But what a way to go.
245
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,560
If you're going to be
the first murdered,
246
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,640
to be in a coffin
and have the lid slammed on you,
247
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:40,440
that's a pretty outrageous
and fun way to go.
248
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,760
Tell me about that,
because I've been...
249
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,880
Honestly, I'm still making sense
of what happened last night.
250
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,240
It was crazy, one of the most
intense experiences of my life.
251
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,000
Let's talk through the whole evening
for you, because...
252
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,080
Thank you very much
for making me relive this trauma.
253
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,880
Bit by bit, second by second,
we'll take you back through it.
254
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,640
Maya and Richard - our Traitors, of
course - invited you to the chapel.
255
00:10:00,680 --> 00:10:02,760
But you didn't know this going in
when you saw the envelope.
256
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,080
What's going through your head?
257
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,800
So I see the envelope,
and I open it and I think,
258
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,760
"Oh, God, here we go.
This has been so much fun."
259
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,960
And I read it, and it just doesn't
say, "By the order of..."
260
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,560
It says, you know, "You're invited
to this secret meeting."
261
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,040
And in a way that I may almost
certainly come to regret,
262
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:25,960
I believed - foolishly and naively,
and slightly too eagerly -
263
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,200
that I'm not going to die.
I'm possibly being recruited.
264
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,880
I got excited. I got my hopes up.
265
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,320
And you know what? I think everyone
would feel that in your situation.
266
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,480
Thank you very much.
267
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,600
And I don't want you to think, Amol,
that, you know,
268
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,840
I was sat there watching it,
rooting for James,
269
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,360
and wanting you to be killed,
because it was win-win for me.
270
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,640
I want my friend to get further
271
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:46,560
and have the experience of
being a Traitor. That's wonderful.
272
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,520
But do you have any idea
how funny it would have been
273
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:50,120
if he was the first one murdered?
274
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,760
So, look, your experience
might have been short, Amol,
275
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,480
but could you sum the experience up
for us in three words?
276
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:58,520
Blessed.
277
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,480
Brutal.
278
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:02,920
And unforgettable.
279
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,440
Aww. And we've dug him up.
280
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,360
Fresh from his coffin,
281
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:11,800
it's Amol Rajan!
282
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,080
Welcome, Amol.
283
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,880
CHEERING
284
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,720
Whoa!
285
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,480
Hey, I survived, man.
286
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,960
You survived, you're here.I'm
a real person. I'm actually here.
287
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,040
I got out of the coffin,
that's all that matters. Yeah.
288
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,360
Look, now some time has passed,
how are you feeling?
289
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,680
It's hard not to watch it
and think I...
290
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,000
Obviously with 20/20 hindsight,
I played the wrong game.
291
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,920
That was a crazy, crazy,
once-in-a-lifetime thing.
292
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,080
Well, I do want to say, I think
you're being too down on yourself.
293
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,640
You're being too hard on yourself,
saying you played the wrong game.
294
00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:41,040
Because I think
you didn't have a chance
295
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,640
to really, like,
establish the game.
296
00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:45,760
Like, you asked Richard
some questions,
297
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,520
which anyone
should have been asking,
298
00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:48,880
because he said he was a Traitor.
299
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:49,960
But I knew...
300
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,120
If I'm honest, Ed, I knew fame
is this kind of mask
301
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,080
that you kind of go in with.
302
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,760
And people think they know you,
cos they might know your character,
303
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,160
but, actually, they don't.
304
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,480
And I knew that the character
that I was going in as
305
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,840
was the journalist
who asks awkward questions.
306
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,800
So I was...
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'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. And people need
to understand this is loch country.
628
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,040
It's so far north, right? Yeah.
629
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,560
And it looks like
the Game of Thrones,
630
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,360
these incredible inky panoramas.
631
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,960
And then you walk down
and there's a shipwreck
632
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,120
and there's Claudia
in a tartan dress,
633
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,200
and, like, Jerry Hall
is standing next to you,
634
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,760
saying that she's going to use
a crowbar cos she used one...
635
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,360
But you're like, "What is my life?!"
And because life is for living,
636
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,440
that makes it something
you'll treasure forever.
637
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,680
Before we go, Amol, what are you
going to say to James Acaster
638
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,800
next time you see him?
639
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,040
I hate you, James.
640
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,400
THEY LAUGH
641
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,200
I didn't know James well before.
642
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,080
I genuinely think
he's one of the most talented,
643
00:25:47,120 --> 00:25:49,080
clever, brilliant human beings
I've ever come across.
644
00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:51,240
He's like... His stand-up is just...
Yeah...it's just...
645
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,600
He's an all-time great,
and he's just a really lovely guy.
646
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,160
Well, the chat doesn't stop here.
647
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,400
I'll be getting more
of our guests' thoughts and insights
648
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,800
on how things are shaping up
in the castle.
649
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,560
Listen only on BBC Sounds
to hear bonus episodes
650
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,520
of the Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked
right after this.
651
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:06,920
And we've made it very easy for you.
652
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,480
All you need to do is scan
the QR code on the screen.
653
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,320
We'll be back
on the 8th of October,
654
00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:14,080
straight after Episode Three,
with our first banished player.
655
00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:16,400
We'll also have Celebrity Faithful
Charlotte Church
656
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,600
and Frankie from Series Three
here on the sofa
657
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,320
to unpack all the latest
goings-on from the castle.
658
00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:23,240
Big thanks to
Tameka, Harriet and Jake,
659
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,160
and, of course,
Amol Rajan for joining me,
660
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,120
and to you for watching.
I'm Ed Gamble. Stay Faithful.
661
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,960
Yeah!
