Ex-Contestants Reveal Traitors Game Intensity

Former contestants of 'The Traitors' are sharing their perspectives on the current season, with many impressed by the players' performances. Judy Wilson, an early banishee from series four, noted the game's intensity and her daughter Roxy's determination. Roxy herself found the experience more demanding than anticipated, though she saw her eventual 'murder' by traitors coming.

Leeds-born Theo Mayne, a contestant from the first UK series, predicts Maya will go all the way, stressing the constant mental strain involved. He believes the show's popularity is partly due to the pioneering first cast. Hull's Jessie Roux also supports Maya and reflected on the stressful, yet ultimately positive, camaraderie among contestants during her series four appearance.

Alex Oleksy, from series three, acknowledges the traitors are playing skillfully but hopes the faithfuls will prevail. He highlighted James Acaster as a unique traitor. Oleksy, who lives in Whitby, also pointed out the show's mentally taxing nature, leading to paranoia and heightened emotions. Despite the challenges, he cherished the self-discovery the show offered.

Venues across Leeds and Sheffield are hosting watch parties for the upcoming finale of 'Celebrity Traitors,' scheduled to air on BBC One at 20:00 GMT. Headrow House in Leeds and Two Thirds Beer Co in Sheffield are among those preparing to screen the concluding episode, following successful events for previous seasons.
