Ex-Traitors players talk tactics and celebrity final predictions
Former contestants from the UK version of The Traitors have shared their views on the second series of The Celebrity Traitors ahead of Friday’s finale. Several are backing Maya, praising her game, while Roxy Wilson had supported comedian Joanne McNally before McNally was banished.
The article also reflects on how demanding the game is, with players constantly weighing up who to trust and how to avoid suspicion. Judy Wilson, who was the first banishment in series four, said she accepted her exit gracefully; her daughter Roxy lasted 11 episodes before being murdered by the traitors. Roxy also recalled her clash with Harriet Tyce, whose accusation about traitor Rachel Duffy was correct.
In short
- Former contestants are tipping Maya to win.
- Joanne McNally was banished before the finale.
- Ex-players describe the game as intensely psychological.
Explained simply
The Traitors is a reality game in which contestants secretly become “Faithful” or “Traitors”. The Faithful try to identify the Traitors, while the Traitors try to avoid detection and remove players from the game.
The UK series has included both ordinary contestants and celebrity contestants. Former players such as Roxy Wilson and her mother, Judy, have experienced how banishments and secret eliminations can shape a contestant’s time in the game. Their reflections offer context on the decisions and suspicions that make the format demanding.
