Alex, 29

Do you have a game plan?

I think my broad game plan is to play it a bit stupid and be the nice guy.

That’s what I hope to do, now watch me go in there and do none of that!

Alexander, 38

Watch and wait.

Alan Cumming hosts The Traitors

And take a genuine interest in others and do your processing inside your head.

I want to keep calm, and I think that normally works better.

I also think if I was a Traitor I would have to play the exact same style.

Armani, 27

Absolutely.

I have thought about this for the last couple of months.

I will be planting seeds everywhere I go.

you’re gonna wanna strike a fine balance between oversharing and then not sharing enough.

Charlotte, 32

In terms of actually being there, Ive just got to see how it goes.

I think the reality of playing the game will be very different to thinking about playing the game.

But in terms of an overarching game plan?

Not sure if it will work or not.

Dan, 33

I think it really depends on what my role is at the start.

I can have allies if they’re Traitors, but I can also have allies who are Faithfuls too.

I just want to make the best move possible for me, no matter what situation Im in.

Everybody loves a twist.

They love to catch people off guard.

I’m preparing myself to have to change my game plan on the spot.

However,

Im going to embrace my innocent demeanour.

Also, Im a very flirty person.

I flirt a lot.

I am going to be careful about what I share and don’t share.

And normally I can smell a rat.

Francesca, 44

What will your game plan be?

To be myself as much as possible and to read people.

A bald eagle in The Americas

I wont be too loud, but I also wont be completely quiet.

I’m very straight talking as well.

I’m not a natural liar.

On the other hand, I wouldn’t say anything to offend somebody or hurt somebody.

I think if you’re being massively duplicitous you should do that in a somewhat authentic and sensitive way.

Freddie, 20

Definitely.

Anthony Mackie in Captain America: Brave New World

I think I’m likeable and quite sociable, so I think I’d get along with everyone.

I think my entire life; I have been a bit of a winger.

And I just think it’ll be easier to play yourself rather than trying to play someone else.

Michael B. Jordan as Smoke in "Sinners" movie

You’ve got to be able to adapt as well, its a fight or flight sort of thing.

However, if I suspect something I’ll find it very difficult not pointing it or calling it out.

I need to think about the long game.

Fire TV interface on the Fire TV Stick 4K (2nd gen)

I think that’s the key thing.

That’s quite a big part of my game plan as well.

Ive learnt to make people think that my ideas are their idea.

You also need to get to know everybody, that’s the most important part but dont trust anyone!

Leanne, 28

And if youre a Faithful, what do you think your game plan would be?

People who are giving each other the eye or people who are purposely trying to stay apart.

NYTimes Connections

I do it every day at work and Im a good listener and can make conversation.

The players are going to be alright at the end of the day.

The experience is great, but the cherry on top is to have that money as well!

Linda, 70

Well, it links to what I said before.

Lisa, 62

I’d like to be a bit like Jaz.

So, be the person who’s there but doesn’t get noticed much.

Because you could get noticed by being too quiet and you could get noticed by being too loud.

So just try and keep everything on an even keel.

It’s going to be really hard.

I have no illusions.

I wont be getting involved in any dramas, I definitely wont be a ringleader.

Maia, 25

My game plan is to act dumb, but not too dumb.

If youre too dumb they’re wondering what’s the purpose of you being here!

I can’t just sit on that Round Table and not have an opinion.

I have to twist everything to make it seem like I’m really, really upset.

And I’ve done that a lot in my life.

So, acting dumb, but also, I think being good at the Missions.

Minah, 29

What do you think you’ll bring to the game?

Do you have a game plan?

I feel like I have a very similar personality to Harry.

Ive always believed that those who speak first lose.

Tyler, 29

If youre a Faithful, what do you think your game plan would be?

I’d go towards more the older people, because I’m an old soul I think.

I can’t trust younger people.

I don’t know what it is but I don’t trust them.

I’m more mates with my dads mates.

I go to darts on a Thursday night, and I like bird watching.

Its all older people.

Although one of them could be a Traitor of course!

Yin, 34

I think it’s important to have a game plan.

you might’t just leave it all up to chance.

You have to adapt to what the reality is.

So at any time, I can pivot.

I have a notebook with my pregame thoughts already.
