Ex-Traitors contestant warns against players 'who talk too much'


As the third season of the hit BBC show The Traitors kicked off, a former contestant from the previous edition has offered some important tips for spotting potential traitors. Contestants chosen as traitors must secretly “murder” the faithfuls, who aim to detect and “banish” them from the game before becoming their next victim. Charlotte Chilton, a faithful from Warwickshire on the second series, advised questioning “anyone who talks too much,” warning against assuming a fellow contestant was too nice to be a traitor, and being vigilant and paying attention to everyone’s behavior. She also enjoyed the two significant plot twists on the first episode of the new series.

The BBC reality TV show has grown in popularity, having aired two seasons previously. The game involves a group of players that must find the traitors in their midst who are secretly plotting their downfall. Chilton now reflects on her time in the game as an experience that taught her that “nothing is off-limits.” She spoke of the show’s difficulties, exclaiming that she would not believe anyone in the game seemingly trustworthy since, in hindsight, everyone could be a traitor. The reaction to the new season has been phenomenal, with the added dimension of excitement leaving Chilton enthralled because she did not know what was happening.

Chilton says that many new contestants have reached out to her and her fellow players from the second series, excited about joining the Traitors family. She says that everyone in the community helps each other out, recently housing fellow player Charlie Bees over the New Year. Although she has not yet predicted what moves the new players will make to survive, she is excited to watch it unfold.

This show is built on taking normal people and putting them in a very stressful situation and checking their reactions. It is unclear what moves each player will make as the show unfolds; therefore, viewers need to enjoy the storyline. Chilton encourages watching the show with sympathy, knowing that being in the game is challenging, and contestants find it daunting as they never know what move will be made next
