00:00 So I'm here with Kate, we were just talking about The Traitors today, so Kate talk me
00:06 through whether you like The Traitors, what you like about it, that kind of thing?
00:08 I love The Traitors and I always watch it with my family, it's like, that's our thing
00:13 to do and we like playing along at home.
00:16 Yeah, definitely. So what about it really engages you? Because it's one of those TV
00:18 shows which kind of has everything, it's got the paranoia, it's got the people playing
00:22 off against each other, it's got lying, it's got everything really, hasn't it?
00:25 I think it's like the, like, I'm playing the game while they're also playing the game and
00:34 I'm trying to play along and so then when the episode ends and you don't know yet, I'm
00:38 like, but I need to know so then I have to watch the next episode.
00:42 Because it's like rewarding, like you can actively guess people and if you get it right
00:45 there's real self-satisfaction in that as well, isn't there? Do you think you'd be any
00:49 good on it if you were asked to go on it and you had to actually go in there and you had
00:52 to read people and you had to go on and like, 'My name's Kate, I'm a student, I can read
00:55 people.' Do you think you'd be any good at it?
00:58 No, because when I lie I smile.
01:00 Yeah, you think you'd have too many tells?
01:02 Yeah, I'd be too obvious.
01:04 Did you watch the first season?
01:05 Yes.
01:06 What did you make of that one?
01:07 I thought it was good. I didn't know how they were going to do it again.
01:11 Yeah, so were you cynical that it was going to be as good the second time around?
01:14 Yeah, a little bit. But it seems to be just as good.
01:17 Living up to expectation?
01:18 Yeah.
01:19 Any predictions? Any people you think have got it in them to go all the way?
01:24 No, I'm not sure yet.
01:25 No? Too early? Fair enough.
01:26 So I hear we've had any in Charlotte. So just talk me through what you've made of the series
01:31 so far, the trailers, if you've enjoyed it. What have you made of it in general?
01:34 I've enjoyed it. I think it's going to be a very good season. I like all the mind games
01:38 about it and it's quite suspenseful. So, enjoying it.
01:43 Excellent. So just generally, what about the show do you think makes it so pop? Is it the
01:47 fact that it just kind of marries paranoia with lying and intrigue and reading people?
01:52 Yeah, it's all the lying and deceiving I think people find it interesting. And watching people
01:57 under pressure.
01:58 Definitely.
01:59 From all, it's quite interesting.
02:00 How do you think you'd do if you were asked to go on the show? How do you think you'd
02:03 do?
02:04 Terrible.
02:05 Yeah? How come?
02:06 If I was a traitor I'd have to tell someone.
02:07 You think you'd have like an immediate tell?
02:08 Yeah, I feel like you could tell from my face.
02:10 Oh yeah, you could be the shallowest on it.
02:12 I'd have to tell someone.
02:14 She has that nervous giggle.
02:15 I do. And I'd be a giveaway.
02:18 Do you think it's probably a lot harder than it looks? You know people are on it and they're
02:22 probably looking at the show thinking, why are they doing that? Why are they doing that?
02:24 Why do they have to do that? And it's probably way harder than that because there's so many
02:27 dynamics at play.
02:28 Especially when we, as the viewers, know who the traitors are it's very easy to say.
02:31 Definitely.
02:32 Why is she picking it's head? Why is he picking it's head? But yeah, I'd probably be terrible
02:36 at playing it as well. I'd be weaning too much into the wrong thing.
02:39 Have you got any favourite characters from this season so far?
02:42 Not yet. I'm not sure about that Diana. I can't tell if I like her or I don't like her.
02:46 Really? Are you fully up to date with it?
02:48 Yeah.
02:49 What did you make of the revelations in the last one where she was...
02:51 The son.
02:52 Yeah.
02:53 Through me. It's funny though.
02:54 It was a great moment.
02:55 It was a great moment. It's funny that everyone cottoned on to a father, a mother-son relationship.
02:59 Yeah.
03:00 Just the wrong one.
03:01 Exactly.
03:02 But once you know, it feels like it's obvious and they look like each other.
03:04 It does make sense. Exactly. As soon as you know you're like, yeah they do look like each
03:07 other. You say you watched the first season. Do you think, were you nervous about the second
03:10 season? Thinking how's it going to stack up? Were you...
03:12 Yeah, it wasn't typically as good. You're not sure whether they're going to play the same
03:15 tricks the second time round.
03:17 Yeah, yeah.
03:18 But it's looked so far.
03:19 Yeah. Excellent. Any favourites?
03:21 No. I'm trying to think here, Neil. I kind of want to say I like Paul, but I'm not sure
03:26 if I do like Paul.
03:27 Yeah. He's one of those characters, isn't he?
03:28 Yeah.
03:29 He might be just a bit too cocky for his own good, I think.
03:31 Yeah.
03:32 Yeah.
03:33 He's very smug, isn't he?
