We might only be half way through The Traitors UK season two, but we've already found our winner. Someone grab Claudia Winkleman from the spray-tanning booth and ask her to crown Jaz as our unbothered king, who has worked out exactly who the Traitors are - and doesn't seem to care about exposing them. Icon behaviour.
In case you need a recap, the rules of The Traitors are simple. The competitors are split into two groups - the Traitors, whose job it is to secretly 'murder' a player (not literally) each episode, and the Faithfuls, whose job it is to try and discover who the Traitors are, and banish them. The aim for the Faithfuls is to make it to the end of the game without getting killed, while a Traitor wins *all* the money if they go undetected.
So far, the Traitors have been playing a blinder in season two, successfully murdering and banishing Faithfuls each and every day - with Ash, who they turned on themselves, being the only Traitor who has left the competition.
While many of the Faithfuls seem completely and utterly confused by what's going on, there's one person who's cracked the case. Jaz, a 30-year-old National Account Manager from Manchester, has been suspicious of Traitor Paul for days, questioning his confidence and sly smiles at the round table, while also doubting the outcome of his day in the dungeon.
In Friday's episode [12th January], Jaz also made a connection between Harry (also a Traitor) and Paul, when he questioned why Harry would have told Paul that Jaz was talking about him behind his back.
For now, despite having the clearest understanding of all, Jaz seems completely and utterly unmotivated to vote for Paul - or Harry - at the banishment table, instead insisting their time will come naturally. While this is also clever play from him, as he doesn't want to voice his opinion *too loudly* in case it puts him in the firing line, fans are praising him as the ultimate unbothered king.
"His beard. His brains. His complete lack of enthusiasm for anything. I have found my soul mate in this man #TheTraitors," one person wrote about Jaz.Another simply put, "Man of the match" while a third summarised, "This man has said about 10 words for the whole series so far and yet he’s BANG on the money with Paul. What a legend."
Other fans are also obsessing over how ice cold Jaz was when someone vaguely suggested he was a Traitor on the banishment table, insisting it simply couldn't be him because he's a Faithful. Someone give this man the money, please.
The Traitors continues at 9pm on BBC One on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
