Adam - Faithful

Age: 34

Job: Builder

Hometown: Essex

Instagram: waughmanadam

Why Adam applied for The Traitors:

"Because I love a contest. I love the thought of being able to outthink people, and I want to win it. That's it, simple. I'll play whatever hand I need to play, and that's it."

What is Adam's game plan?

"I've thought about it a lot. I’ve got the sort of brain that thinks of something 100 times before anyone else has. It's just the way I am. I love to plan stuff... A lot will depend on the personalities that are in there. You have to act a certain way around certain people, not everyone will come from the same background as me. You have to sort of blend in and adapt to the situation that you’re dealt."

"If I’m a Faithful, I won’t lie about anything. Everyone's going to know my name, what I do for a living. The only thing I’d have to lie about is if I’m a Traitor. I don't understand why people add more pressure to be anything other than themselves. When I answer something, I want it to trip off my tongue, not to hesitate."

How would Adam spend the prize fund?

"I'd take all my family to Florida. I'm doing it for my wife and my three kids. Enough money to have a holiday of a lifetime, and then I'd put the rest in the bank so we could live comfortably."

Our verdict on whether they'll make the final: We reckon Adam has a pretty good chance of being a Faithful who makes it all the way to the end.

Ellie - Faithful

Age: 33

Job: Psychologist

Hometown: London

Why Ellie applied for The Traitors:

"I think it is so psychologically interesting. I've watched it, and I love analysing what everyone's doing and thinking through why they're convinced that they know something, when to the viewer, they're quite clearly wrong. I had to get involved, I had to understand it and get in there and play the game."

What is Ellie's game plan?

"I'm hoping to be a Traitor, but I think it's absolutely about trying to form bonds with people early on, because we know that voting around the Round Table isn't just about who's suspicious, it's also about the bonds that you've made with people. So that's kind of the plan, to try and befriend everyone and see how that goes. I am also going to be hiding my occupation as I don’t want people to make assumptions about me."

How would Ellie spend the prize fund?

"It's going straight towards buying a flat. I live in London but can't afford to buy a flat, so that's what I'll be doing!"

Our verdict on if Ellie will make the final: Ellie could easily be murdered in the next few days and so we don't think she'll be making it to the end.

Faraaz - Faithful

Age: 22

Job: Internal Auditor

Hometown: Middlesbrough

Instagram: faz.noor

Why Faraaz applied for The Traitors:

"I applied to be on The Traitors because I'm a huge fan of the show. I've been watching it since series one, and I thought it would be something that I'd really love to take part in and just immerse myself in that experience."

What is Faraaz's game plan?

"I've had a chat with my sister about what game plan I should have and I think, once it starts, it'll be all up in the air really! One thing is, it's important not to be too boisterous at the start, because you can't win at the start. You can only lose. So, I think just keep some opinions and some cards close to your chest at the beginning and then observe everyone else, whilst spreading little nuggets here and there, but not making yourself the centre of attention straight away."

How would Faraaz spend the prize fund?

"If I win the prize money, I'd love to be able to spend it on me and my family to make a religious pilgrimage. To go to Umrah, to go to Hajj, would be really nice. For me to do that for my family would be great. If there's a bit of left over, I wouldn't mind putting a bit away for a new car but treating my family is my main goal."

Our verdict on if Faraaz will make the final: Faraaz has been a strong Faithful, not too loud and opinionated but also chimes in when necessary, with this balance we reckon he could go all the way.

Jack - Faithful

Age: 29

Job: Personal Trainer

Hometown: Essex

Instagram: jack_thefitnessbutler

Why Jack applied for The Traitors:

"First and foremost, I'm a massive fan of the show. I want something that's going to take me outside of my comfort zone. Some of the Missions are really physically demanding, but then there are the mental tests as well. You’ve got to be so switched on regardless of whether you're a Traitor or a Faithful, it just takes one slip-up, and you could be gone. You've got to be so locked in both physically and mentally."

What is Jack's game plan?

"I have tactics for everything. Different plays with shields, different players around the Round Table, things to avoid. I think the overarching theme is making people underestimate me and feel like they've worked me out, so that they don't perceive me as the threat."

How would Jack spend the prize money?

"First and foremost, I'd use it as a deposit for a property for me and my girlfriend. It would be life changing for us.

"I'd love if we could get our first property somewhere where I could have a purpose-built gym studio in the back of the garden and have that all kitted out and do my training sessions there at our new home. That would just be the dream. I also have secret plans, I'm planning to propose to my partner, so it’d be nice to spend a bit of money on that, maybe taking her out somewhere nice to celebrate."

Our verdict on whether Jack will get to the final: Right now Jack seems to be a Faithful who has slipped under the radar and so could make it all the way to the final.

Jade - Faithful

Age: 25

Job: PhD Student

Hometown: West Midlands

Instagram: jadiethscott

Why Jade applied for The Traitors:

"I play a lot of video games, which are similar to The Traitors, so I just thought 'why would I not?' as I do it in my spare time anyway."

What is Jade's game plan?

"I think I’ll play everything that I do down a bit. I’m going to say that I am a master's student, rather than a PhD because this is my whole life. I can't go in there and make up a whole new background, as that's too much effort to keep up, so I will just play down what I do. I have a resting mean face sometimes, which can kind of look like I’m just staring people out, so I need to watch myself as I can be quite blunt and direct as well. My game plan is basically to go in there and try to be part of the crowd, but also be a bit of a shark amongst the little sheep."

How would Jade spend the prize money?

"I would really like to buy a house. I’m the ripe age of 25 and PhD life doesn't pay very well. I’d like to buy a house somewhere I can call home, as I have moved around a lot for studying and so I'd like somewhere to finally call my own."

Our verdict on whether Jade will make the final: A lot of people are suspicious of Jade and so we think it won't be long before she gets banished.

James - Faithful

Age: 38

Job: Gardener

Hometown: Weymouth

Instagram: llcooljamesbaker

Why James applied for The Traitors:

"I love the show, but I didn't start watching The Traitors until the second series because people nagged me. I used to play a lot of poker, and it has similarities, especially the Round Table. I have a desire to play the game well. Not in an arrogant way, but in a confident way, I think I could do this. So, I'm here with a passion for the game and sort of geeky vibes. I think that's what drew me to it."

What is James' game plan?

"I definitely want to be a Traitor. If I'm not, I would probably try to seduce the Traitors into seducing me! Do a bit of reverse seduction, like, look good at the Round Table – okay, he speaks eloquently, this guy could handle the pressure. I think I'd give off that impression. If I'm nervous myself, I can affect a happy-go-lucky demeanour."

How would James spend the prize fund?

"I will spend it on my family. We haven't been abroad for many years, so I’d love a family holiday. I'd buy a camper van or a motor home too. I'm the only driver in my house. I drive two teenage girls, my partner and my son all to their jobs and education. We need another driver, and my stepdaughter is learning to drive. It would pay for her car too and give her some freedom."

Our verdict on whether James will make the final: He's had some heat on him, but also flew quite under the radar but we're not sure he's going to be in the final.

Jessie - Faithful

Age: 28

Job: Hairstylist

Hometown: Hull

Instagram: jessierouxhair

Why Jessie applied for The Traitors: "I applied to challenge myself, and I love meeting people. I know it will test me, which is good and what I need."

What is Jessie's game plan?

"If I'm picked as a Traitor, which I'd prefer, but if I'm not, then I would just be me. I guess you don't have to do that much as a Faithful, because you don't have to lie. I would just try and work out how people are, and if people are acting differently and just build lots of bonds and hold back a bit, but not hold back too much. You need a good balance."

How would Jessie spend the prize fund?

"I’d love to pay off my mum’s house, just because my mum has brought me up and is my bestie, and I would just love to give back to her. If I have a bit left, I would put it into my business."

Our verdict on whether Jessie will make the final: Unfortunately Jessie is so well liked and such a good Faithful we think the Traitors are going to murder her sometime soon.

Matthew - Faithful

Age: 35

Job: Creative Director

Hometown: Edinburgh

Instagram: yermatty

Why Matthew applied for The Traitors:

"It's an adventure and just seems fun. My New Year's resolution was to have more adventures, and what I meant by that was more hiking, canoe trips, and camping, that sort of thing, but I've watched The Traitors and absolutely loved it, so I just thought why not give it a go."

What is Matthew's game plan?

"Anyone but me – that’s my simple plan, as long as it's not me. I do not care whether they're a Traitor or a Faithful, as long as it's not me. I think The Traitors is a social game, and if you've got favour with people, or if someone has a warmer feeling towards me than someone else, then that's the way that the vote will go. I think my biggest tactic is to always be part of the bigger group. No way am I getting off the train or getting in a coffin. I won't do anything that separates me from the wider group because I think that leaves you in danger."

How would Matthew spend the prize money?

"There are many things that I've imagined spending the money on. I really want to buy a little cottage in The Highlands somewhere. I go up there so much, and I just kind of imagine myself there so that's probably what I would do. Me and my partner got engaged during COVID, and I had campaigned for marriage equality in Northern Ireland - they had civil partnerships, but they never had same sex marriage until 2020.

"At the time I was campaigning, I didn't think that I wanted to get married, but now I feel like I do. So having campaigned for marriage equality in Northern Ireland, I think that's a better story for the last Round Table if I get there because it's not cool to go against the gay who wants to get married! I think that I would probably say that I'm going to get married back home in Northern Ireland on my family farm. And then if I win, I might just have to do that."

Our verdict on whether Matthew will make it to the final: Matthew threw a curve ball last episode when he asked to become a Traitor, with that kind of attitude we reckon he could all the way and win as a Traitor.

Rachel - Traitor

Age: 42

Job: Head of Communications

Hometown: County Down

Instagram: rachel.dufffy

Why Rachel applied for The Traitors:

"I am a competitive person, through and through. My friends and family call me Monica from Friends. I just love games. I love challenges, so I thought I'm going to give that a go."

What is Rachel's game plan?

"I'm going to say that I work in marketing, which is true, but it's leaving out the fact that I do strategic communications across Northern Ireland on a daily basis. I don't want them to know that speaking to people and getting my point across is very easy for me. I suppose the overriding game plan is to just have fun and be super fun and super positive and be lovely to be around, which is going to hopefully get me a little bit further in the game."

How would Rachel spend the prize fund?

"I would make memories with the most important people in my life. My mum has dementia, and she wants to go on a holiday as she used to go on holidays all the time before my dad passed. That's all she wants. I just want to create memories with her whilst I'm still lucky enough to have her, and to create memories with my kids, because they just love their nanny."

Our verdict on whether Rachel will make the final: Right now Harriet has a lot of suspicions of Rachel and so if she's able to get the group against her, we reckon it's all over for Rachel.

Roxy - Faithful

Age: 32

Job: Recruiter

Hometown: Amsterdam

Instagram: roxyw_xo

Why Roxy applied for The Traitors:

"When I watched the first series, it was different to anything I've ever seen before. The first six years of my life were a little rocky, and I think having that lived experience of adapting to different situations, meeting different people, figuring out who to trust, I thought those skills that have come from unfortunate circumstances, would actually take me really far on the show."

What is Roxy's game plan?

"I think it's just going in with an open mind, and it's easier to adapt to situations when you don't know what to expect. It's really hard to strategise for the unknown."

How would Roxy spend the prize money?

"I've got a big family. I would love to take all of those guys away and just do something nice as a family unit. I’d also use the money to start a family with my boyfriend."

Our verdict on whether Roxy will make the final: Roxy is a pretty strong Faithful, but we think she'll be murdered before the end.

Sam - Faithful

Age: 34

Job: Account Manager

Hometown: North Yorkshire

Instagram: sam____little

Why Sam applied for The Traitors:

"I have been the biggest fan of the show across all the seasons. This show is like a breath of fresh air and authentic fun, but also a tonne of emotions, gameplay and competitiveness. It really kind of suits my character and I'm at the stage in my life now where I just want to have as many amazing experiences as possible. I applied on a whim, and then suddenly we're here."

What is Sam's game plan?

"My game plan is just assuming that I'm going to be made a Traitor. I've re-watched all of the three seasons recently to see exactly how the good and bad Traitors played the game. The best answer I've found is that the first five to seven banishments and murders are pretty much potluck. It's almost herd mentality; people go into that Round Table and one person says something that people cotton onto, and it becomes a domino effect. My game plan is very much to be in the middle, not too much on the front foot, but still offering some opinions. I will then create the authentic relationships that I need to without being too cliquey, because that can also be suspicious. I'm going to play it in the middle but always be ready to be aggressive when I need to be."

How would Sam spend the prize money?

"My wife and I want to start a family next year; that's the biggest driver for me doing this. The money would go towards childcare and everything like that as the costs are astronomical now, and so the money would just remove so much external pressure for us."

Our verdict on whether Sam will get to the final: Sam has got so much heat on him right now, there's pretty much no way he's making it to the end.

Stephen - Traitor

Age: 32

Job: Cyber Security Consultant

Hometown: London

Instagram: stephenlibby

Why Stephen applied for The Traitors:

"It's one of those games that you can't watch without putting yourself in it. There are certain shows where you're screaming at the TV with every single decision that's made, thinking why have you done that? Or why have you said that? Or I could do better than that. I genuinely love this game. Maybe I've got a bit of a delusional kind of sense that I can do really well in this."

What is Stephen's game plan?

"I'm very personable. People seem to let their guard down around me very quickly when I first meet them. I think that's partly due to having quite a regional accent that I think works in my favour. It might sound like quite a simplistic game plan to just make friends with everyone, but I do think that's something that does come naturally to me. However, I'm also very competitive, and quite pragmatic, and I'm also taking the game seriously. I'm going to use what I feel is my quite innate talent to bring people close to solidify myself among the group, as someone that they would feel bad about getting rid of."

How would Stephen spend the prize money?

"Firstly, I really want to give back to my parents. I was the first person in my family to go to university, and we weren't a university family at all. Financially, it wasn't something that we would really be able to do but my parents really gave up a lot to push me through. I would love to be able to give back to my dad who is the most incredible artist. He’s a butcher by trade but I would love to be able to just give him a chance to get away from that and really have more time to work on his art as much as possible.

"For myself, I've been in London now for eight years, and I'm getting to the point now where I'd like to be able to get on the property ladder."

Our verdict on whether he'll be in the final: It was touch and go for a few episodes but now that Rachel has suspicion on her from Harriet, we reckon Stephen could go all the way.

Judy - Faithful - Banished in episode 2

Age: 60

Job: Child Liaison Officer

Hometown: Doncaster

Instagram: juddie60

Why Judy applied for The Traitors:

"I applied because I thought I could do this, and it's a great opportunity to do it at my time of life. I just think that the whole experience will be incredible, and I will never, ever experience anything like this again."

Netty - Faithful - Murdered in Episode 2

Age: 42

Job: Nursery School Teacher

Hometown: Glasgow

Instagram: netty.nonsense

Why Netty applied for The Traitors:

"I love the game. I think it is one of the most amazing games you could possibly play. I also wanted to do something for me, so I thought if I could do this, this would be amazing. Purely selfish reasons, but I just wanted to have some fun and do something that allowed me to get a little bit of myself back. I like delving into people and finding out about them, so I am excited to meet everyone and get to know them."

Ben - Faithful - Murdered in episode 3

Age: 66

Job: Retired

Hometown: Hampshire

Why Ben applied for The Traitors:

"I'd never seen anything like this before – it intrigued me. I was taken in totally and kept saying it's like Columbo and Agatha Christie."

Hugo - Traitor - Banished in episode 3

Age: 51

Job: Barrister

Hometown: Cardiff

Instagram: hugodbailey

Why Hugo applied for The Traitors:

"I really love the show. I'm obsessed with The Traitors. It's such a fascinating game, and what really gets me is watching people around the Round Table and how wrong they get it. I'm a barrister, so I talk to juries, but they go off and make the decisions in a quiet room, so I never get to see it, but this, you just think, how could you be so wrong? I can't take my eyes off it, I love it."

Ross - Faithful - Banished in episode 4

Age: 37

Job: Sales Executive and Personal Trainer

Hometown: London

Instagram: rossgfit

Why Ross applied for The Traitors:

"Some of my clients had been talking about it, so I just applied on a whim."

Maz - Faithful - Murdered in episode 5

Age: 59

Job: Civil Servant

Hometown: Preston

Instagram: mazbana

Why Maz applied for The Traitors:

"I love the programme, so that's a good start. I love the whole essence of The Traitors, from the Missions, to the conversations, to the relationships you make and the game itself."

Amanda - Faithful - Banished in episode 5

Age: 57

Job: Retired Police Detective

Hometown: Brighton

Instagram: itsmeamandacollier

Why Amanda applied for The Traitors:

"I was a detective, and I've done lots of interviews with criminals and victims. You have to put the pieces together to find the truth and see through the lies. I’ve learned a lot about being deceptive, devious and cunning. On the other side of the coin, I am a good person, and I became a police officer to help people. You have to be nice and calm, even when there's a big storm around you. I’d bring all these skills into the game, whichever role I am assigned."

Reece - Faithful - Murdered in episode 6

Age: 27

Job: Sweet Shop Assistant

Hometown: Sheffield

Instagram: reecewardd

Why Reece applied for The Traitors:

"I've always been so competitive, and it’s just the idea of having that unique experience because how many people can say they've been on The Traitors? I don't think I've done anything in my life which is so unique, and because I also have that competitive edge, I'm excited to see what I'm able to do."

Fiona - Secret Traitor - Banished in episode 6

Age: 62

Job: Local Government Officer

Hometown: Swansea

Instagram: fionahughes2026

Why Fiona applied for The Traitors:

"I've never applied for anything like this before, but I really enjoy the show. I think it's the most authentic reality TV show, and I'm not big into reality TV. I think because it's a game which requires a lot of tact and a lot of psychological manoeuvres, it just appealed to me."

Harriet - Faithful - Banished in episode 7

Age: 52

Job: Crime Writer and Former Barrister

Hometown: London

Instagram: harriet_tyce

Why Harriet applied for The Traitors:

"I've watched the show and love it – it's one of the very few TV shows that I think I have a skill set that could be useful for. I'm a crime writer and used to be a criminal barrister. I spend my life making up horrible ways for people to die and killing people on the page. The idea that I might get to actually plot to kill people or to track down a murderer, but, you know, without actual blood being shed, it's the closest that I'd get to that experience in real life. So, quite honestly, what's not to like?"

The Traitors airs on BBC One and iPlayer at 8pm on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays
