"There aren't many people who understand the stress that the celebrity Traitors Cat Burns and Alan Carr have been feeling as their stint wearing that famous green cloak draws to an end but I do. I spent four weeks lying, cheating and murdering friends and colleagues in our office version of The Traitors. I almost lost my mind. Everyone watches The Traitors and sees the contestants, Traitors and Faithfuls alike, act irrationally and make poor decisions and thinks: That wouldn't be me."
"I'd be rational. I wouldn't be Linda from series three, immediately giving the game away. I'd be Harry from series two, emotionally manipulating a girl with a colostomy bag. Reader, I was once like you. I was so certain of my rationality that on New Year's Day I tweeted my confidence I would be extremely normal if I were ever on the show. Little did I know that one of my colleagues was donning metaphorical eyeliner and fringe to act as Claudia Winkleman."
A participant spent four weeks lying, cheating and murdering friends and colleagues in an office version of The Traitors. The game provoked intense stress and near loss of composure. Many viewers assume they would behave rationally, but the participant was certain of normality and publicly tweeted confidence. Colleagues adopted roles, and the participant received a Slack message informing them three colleagues and they had been selected as Traitors. The game's rules assigned everyone as Faithful or Traitor, announced daily victims on Slack, and held evening banishment votes. The Traitors stood to win a day of annual leave if any remained. The participant left the Slack channel immediately.
