As The Traitors approaches its final episodes, fan-favorite LGBTQ+ contestant Charlotte has revealed how she would spend the prize money if she manages to win the hit BBC series. With many popular ‘Faithfuls’ and ‘Traitors’ dropping like flies in the high-stakes drama, Charlotte has luckily escaped unscathed for the time being.
The remaining contestants are competing to increase the prize pot to a total of £120,000. If a Traitor remains in the group when the game ends, they will take it all, but if all the Traitors are out by then, the Faithfuls will split the prize pot.
But who is The Traitors’ series two star Charlotte? One of the many ‘Faithfuls’ in the Scottish castle, 32-year-old Charlotte is a recruitment manager from Warwickshire. She applied to be on The Traitors because of the challenge it would bring.
“You don’t see many shows like this, so when I saw it on TV I thought it was really refreshing to watch something different. So, I applied for the challenge, I wasn’t even thinking about the money,” Charlotte told the BBC.
Originally, Charlotte wanted to be a Traitor but said she’d make sure to keep the Traitors on side if she was a Faithful in order to stay safe. Charlotte said she admired the strategy of one of last year’s Traitors, Amanda, who was “successful to a certain level with her motherly approach”.
But, due to her age, Charlotte thought it would be best for her to keep her cool like Meryl and Hannah from series one. She told the BBC: “I feel like you need to build relationships with everybody. Don’t be too opinionated, but don’t be too quiet. If you do think someone is a Traitor, be their friend, wait until the end and job done!”
Charlotte also said she believes she has a good poker face because she can “play dumb” and hopes to be “underestimated”. “We all love an underdog, don’t we?”
Charlotte is a member of the LGBTQ+ community and is married to a woman named Laura. When asked how she would spend the money, Charlotte said she would use it to travel with her wife and dogs.
“I thought we could get a motorhome and go across America eating all the amazing food and bring my dogs Lady and Lolly. That’s as much as I’ve planned so far.”
The inspiration for this came from reading a newspaper article with her wife about putting your dog on a private jet to travel without them having to go into the cargo hold. Though Charlotte acknowledges that there might be “better stuff” she could do if she won the jackpot, she is also of the belief that “life’s too short”.
The Traitors continues next Wednesday, January 24, at 9 pm on BBC One.
As The Traitors heads towards its thrilling conclusion, fans eagerly await the outcome of the high-stakes drama. Throughout the series, viewers have become invested in the lives of the contestants, particularly LGBTQ+ fan-favorite Charlotte. With many popular contestants falling by the wayside, Charlotte has managed to survive the challenges thrown her way, keeping hopes alive for a potential win.
The Traitors, a gripping reality TV show that pits ‘Faithfuls’ against ‘Traitors’, has captured the attention of audiences since its debut in 2022. In the second season, contestants are vying to increase the prize pot to a substantial £120,000. If a Traitor manages to outwit their fellow participants and remain undetected until the end, they will claim the entire prize. However, if all Traitors are exposed before the finale, the Faithfuls will divide the winnings amongst themselves.
Charlotte, a 32-year-old recruitment manager from Warwickshire, joined The Traitors for the challenge it presented. She was drawn to the uniqueness of the show and decided to apply purely for the thrill, without any consideration for the money at stake. Initially, Charlotte had contemplated becoming a Traitor herself but ultimately chose to align herself with the Faithfuls to ensure her own safety.
Charlotte expressed admiration for last year’s Traitor, Amanda, and her successful strategy, which involved taking on a motherly role. In an effort to fly under the radar, Charlotte decided to keep her cool, taking inspiration from Meryl and Hannah in the first season. Building relationships with her fellow contestants while maintaining a balanced approach became her priority. Charlotte believes that by not being too opinionated or too quiet, she can effectively navigate the game. If she suspects someone of being a Traitor, she plans to befriend them, biding her time until the opportune moment to strike.
As an LGBTQ+ contestant, Charlotte brings diversity and representation to The Traitors. She is married to her wife Laura and their relationship has been a source of strength throughout the competition. When asked about her plans
