Celeb Traitors - Spoiler Alert added by GNHQ

Ooo, thinking like a Traitor?
😃 😀 😄

I’s be surprised if people would change their votes because of the charities. Why would they?

Indeed.
And when not on camera am pretty sure they might have chatted about their chosen charities, I mean, why not?

They spent a lot of time together, we just get the edited bits.The celebrities mainly knew each other and likely have a good time.

I really don’t mind what diagnosis James A has, but as an intelligent man he should know what heightens his senses. He was selfish to take on the role of Traitor if he knew he couldn’t do it, he could have chosen to be murdered instead, but then he wouldn’t be playing or in the limelight. I don’t admire him for that, he also took the place of Amol who would have been a clever and strategic player.
I m terrified of heights so I wouldn’t put myself forward to climb a high ladder I d let someone else do it. Sorry but I see him as selfish
I read where he had a panic attack on a cookery programme ! I believe he had one in the coffin right at the beginning and who could blame him I probably would too.
I m amazed that he passed the safety psychological tests which they must put them all through before they are accepted Did he play his fears and truthfulness down to get his £40,000 ! Just a thought

I think Romesh is just a very successful comedian, hadn’t even really noticed which channel he tends to be on.
Not sure why this is causing a problem.
He was pretty popular on this thread until his named charity was for refugees, surely it can’t be that 🙄

Sorry, I'm not quite with you. We were discussing his popularity with specific reference to the BBC. What problem is it you're asking about? I've read through the posts but I don't see anyone complaining about him in any way. On the contrary in fact.

It looks like you're trying to weave some imaginary prejudice into this thread which simply doesn't exist

James Acaster - "having a breakdown" on a cookery show.

It's not an actual breakdown folks.

Yes please. That’ll be nice.

Sorry. Wrong thread! 😂

I haven't watched any of Traitors - tell me what about it is good please?

I just see the trailers and it feels a bit in your face.

The setting is beautiful, the Cast is interesting, Claudia's fashions are enviable, the missions are exciting.

Are people suggesting that REG deliberately sabotaged himself? I doubt it. He would have had enormous fun for longer if he hadn’t done what he described as hoping to start an I am Spartacus wave.

Joe Lycett was banished on no more evidence than saying he would love to be a Traitor.

They don’t all receive £40,000 although that’s understood to be the ballpark. It depends what an agent negotiates. Depending on how pay is structured they will pay between 25% and 45% tax on it after expenses.

For all we know, some have donated their fee. It wouldn’t surprise me at all to learn that Michael Sheen had.

Traitors is reported to cost around £1 million per episode to produce but has also been reported to have given £21.8 million Gross Value Added (GVA) boost to Scotland's economy through filming at Ardross Castle.

Economically it’s about much more than celebrity pay including 750 more jobs and an increase in tourism. Trainline bookings to Inverness are reported to have increased almost 70% since Traitors began.

“ It looks like you're trying to weave some imaginary prejudice into this thread which simply doesn't exist”

I certainly hope this is true
But a few members have commented on his choice of charity with something akin to disappointment/disapproval, maybe I’m wrong, but if you have looked at all the comments you will see what I mean.
And was just a bit confused by the onus on Romesh being the golden boy of the BBC now, if nothing snarky was meant by this then I have nothing more to say.
Or at least nothing more to say on that particular matter.
Am always happy to be proved wrong.
