-The Celebrity Traitors is BACKKKKKKKK and its bigger than ever!
-The first episode drew an AMAZING 8.9 million viewers, up 3million from the previous Celeb series and 2.5million from the previous civilian series.
-You can find the entire cast in a previous post here
-Maya Jama & Richard E. Grant were chosen to be The Traitors!
-If you’re thinking “only 2?” they will have to choose two people to interrogate and choose one to join them while killing the other.
-Things off very interesting as after Claudia selects the Traitors, Richard is asked if he’s a faithful and he proudly proclaims to the group “I am a Traitor!”
-This of course automatically makes people believe him while others assume that he’s kidding
-James Acaster and Amol Rajan are ultimately chosen for possible corruption to the dark side
-Amol is ultimately chosen for murder as Maya and Richard choose James to join them as a Traitor
-2×02 ends in a cliffhanger at the roundtable with the group closing in on Richard as most seem doubtful that he is a Faithful
