We're only on the third week of The Traitors, but this series has been giving us some of the best television we've seen in years (or, at least, since Alan Carr was on the celebrity edition a few months ago). From Secret Traitor Fiona going up against OG Traitor Rachel to family tree theories and incredible fashion at the round tables, the fourth season of The Traitors is truly one for the history books. And, of course, the people we have to thank for that are the contestants themselves.
Speaking of which, Jessie is one contestant who has been catching a lot of attention of late. She's been on it when it comes to sussing out who the Traitors are, and her 'Library Five' theory helped get the banishment of Fiona over the line, much to Rachel and Stephen's delight. Unfortunately, Jessie's time on the show could be cut short. During a confessional, the Traitors told Matthew that Jessie is next on their list to murder. That said, the Traitors are Traitors after all, so can they really be trusted?

What has Jessie said about being on The Traitors?
Jessie on why she applied for The Traitors
"I applied to challenge myself, and I love meeting people," Jessie told the BBC ahead of the show's release. "I know it will test me, which is good and what I need."
Jessie on what she thinks she'll bring to the game
"I feel like people will underestimate me just because of how I am and how I look with my orange hair and because I have a stammer," the hairstylist said, referencing her stammer, which she has been open about on the show. "People might think that I don't have it in me to be brutal, but I do."
Jessie on if she has a game plan on The Traitors
"I guess you don't have to do that much as a Faithful, because you don't have to lie," she said before entering the Scottish castle where the show is filmed. "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."
Jessie on whether or not she's competitive
"I tend to be good at holding it in a bit and just keeping watch," Jessie revealed of her competitive streak. "But I always know my next moves."
Jessie on which qualities will help her in The Traitors
"Well, you have to be trusted," she admitted. "Because I have a stammer, I can't hide who I am, and it has helped me be an authentic person, because I just can't hide it."
Jessie on how she'd spend the prize money
"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," the 28-year-old said of how she plans to spend the prize money if she wins this series. "If I have a bit left, I would put it into my business."
The Traitors continues on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at 8pm.
