Former Traitors’ contestant Keith has spoken out about his unexpected elimination from the popular BBC series. After being ousted as a result of being “collateral damage” by traitors Minah, Armani, and Linda, the 65-year-old had revelations about the BBC show’s host Claudia Winkleman.
Sharing his insights with The Metro, Keith said he believes Cloaudia favours one side during the game: “She really cares for the faithfuls,” he said.
“She wants the faithfuls to get the traitors, even though she knows who they are.” But he lauded Claudia as “absolutely fantastic” and considered meeting her as his crowning moment on the programme.
Viewers were left stunned by window cleaner Keith’s departure. He said of signing up for the show: “I watched the first and the second series and with the second series, I was sitting on the settee watching as Harry won and as soon as it finished, I said to my wife, I said, ‘You know something? I could do that’. And that’s the reason why I applied. I like to play games like this, it excites me.
“It reminds me of an old TV programme called Columbo, he was a lieutenant, and he always knew who the murderer was. He knew they did it, but he just needed to work it out from start to finish. So, and that’s why I applied, I just thought I could I enjoy these sorts of games. Also, I’m one of nine in my family. I’ve got a very big family, lots of brothers and sisters who used to play tricks on each other, wind each other up, the works! So, with all that in mind, that’s why I applied for The Traitors.”
Yin, the unfortunate first murder victim of season three, had some post-game insights that she shared with the Mirror. She pinpointed an early blunder made by her traitorous peers, suggesting that this misstep could lead them to be uncovered rapidly, reports the Mirror.
Following an observant contestant Jake’s suspicions – after catching Traitor Linda glancing at host Claudia Winkleman when she mentioned “traitors” – Yin argued: “They should have killed Jake. At the roundtable he kept going on about Linda, so Linda is in trouble.”
