Imagine Cluedo, but in real life. Sounds like my childhood fantasy, TBH. But for 24 players, this will be their reality; as they participate in Channel 10’s newest game show: The Traitors.
The Traitors sees a group of 24 players, also known as Faithfuls, live together in a grand old hotel where they will need to have their wits about them as they carry out challenges in order to win silver bars, contributing to a prize pool of silver worth up to $250,000.
They’ll also need to figure out which, among them, are actually Traitors.
Stakes are high, because if a Traitor makes it to the end undetected, they get to walk away with the lot. If a Faithful can successfully unmask a Traitor, however, and get rid of them before the final vote, they have the option to take all the prize money or split and share it with their final remaining Faithful.
If anyone is going to be in tune which who is a Traitor or a Faithful, it’s clairvoyant Chloe. She knows her unique skill set is one that can work in her favour in finding out who people really are.
Phew! Okay. So, who are the players competing on The Traitors? One of them is 29-year-old strategy consultant, Midy, from New South Wales.
Midy hopes that his love of escape rooms and video games will help him slay The Traitors, and he also wants to have a bit of fun while he’s there.
As an operations manager for a technology company, Midy is a people person who is used to presenting in front of hundreds; and can command a room with a joke and a story.
He’s also a part time model, a job he fell into when his model girlfriend brought him along to a photo shoot during COVID.
“If I was chosen as a Faithful then I would feel at home because I’m authentic and want to be the one who uncovers the wolves hiding amongst us,” Midy says in a press statement, “and lead us to victory.”
He also wants to bring his strong morals and ethics into the game.
“I’m someone who is going to bring my values from real life into the game and that’s integrity, leading with authenticity and maximising happiness.
“I’m also a competitor but I don’t want to compromise on my values.”
Will Midy be able to lead the group to victory? Tune in to The Traitors, premiering on Sunday, October 16 on 10 and 10play to find out.
