How did it feel to be the first person murdered in this series?
It felt like I had signed up for this extravagant 12-course meal, but I left having only sampled one amuse-bouche. I didn’t have a single breakfast! Silencing a doctor of communication sends a very strong message.
This series started with an all-female Traitors line-up. Who makes better Traitors — men or women?
It’s a combination. The original female Traitors this series were not going to win as a team. Ideally, you’d need at least one male in the mix. This is a big generalisation, but men usually hide their emotions, or at least diminish the intensity. Whereas through our cultural upbringing, women are driven to share their emotions. So there’s a potential for too much emotion in the turret. Had there been a man in the turret, I don’t know if I would’ve been murdered.
Who do you think has what it takes to make it to the final?
I hope Charlotte and Leanne will go far. They came into the game with amazingly curated personas, outfits included. They project themselves through communication, body language, tone. Everything about Leanne is Barbie – she comes across as a bit ditzy, it’s so effective, so complete. Charlotte’s clothing amplifies her background and growing up in nature – with dungarees, and flowers and geese on her jumpers. Dan is also strategic and game-oriented. He said he’s in it for himself and will do everything he can to get through. You need that cutthroat personality.
You’ve said clothes tell us a lot about someone. You brought 51kg of luggage — what did you pack?

I had a pink jumper with big 3D hearts and massive bows on with hearts on the sleeves. Anyone wearing that would be the least threatening person. I was going to say, “How could I be a Traitor? I’ve literally got my heart on my sleeve.”
