New Dynamics in the Game
Joe Scott noted that the celebrity factor brings a new level of intrigue, stating, “It’s going to be completely different, but that’s what makes it more fun.” He believes the celebrities will need to enhance their deceitful strategies due to their public profiles. He expressed, “They’re going to have to up the deceit even more.”
Charlotte Berman, known for her playful Welsh accent during her time on the show, commented on the appeal of the game to celebrities. She remarked, “You can see why the celebrity calibre is so high, because there’s such a desire to play this game.” She praised Judith and Cat’s skills, suggesting Cat Burns has the tactical edge, saying, “she’s clever, she’s got the brains.”
Entertainment Value
Reflecting on the choices for the traitors, Scott emphasized that viewers appreciate both complexity and humor. He stated, “I think the viewers like a good traitor, but they also like someone that’s a bit like ‘oh, I don’t know if I should have signed up to this job.’”
As “Celebrity Traitors” continues to unfold, both Scott and Berman demonstrate a keen interest in the game and its evolving dynamics, ensuring that this season will bring plenty of excitement and entertainment.
