The Celebrity Traitors cast would say less and plan more

A BBC finale vox pop turns the game into an exercise in hindsight, from announcing a maths professorship to sharing a theory too soon.

The Celebrity Traitors players on what they'd do differently 👀 - BBC

"Not go in as a Professor of Mathematics." That is the opening answer when The Celebrity Traitors contestants are asked what they would do differently. In a game built around deciding whom to trust, even an introduction becomes something to reconsider.

The BBC's promotional finale Short has drawn more than 164,000 views in eleven hours, already well beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for this format. Another clip about James Blunt's enthusiasm for helicopters is also drawing an unusually large audience.

The answers make a compact collection of tactical regrets. One contestant admits he went through the game without a strategy and would arrive at the final with a plan. Another wishes he had stayed out of a particular room. A third would have kept her "bouncing floor" theory to herself until the following day, hoping to avoid the game's nighttime elimination.

That theory is still being picked over in the comments: viewers debate whether mentioning it really led to her exit, and whether it was right in the first place. Others notice Joe Lycett's costume and his face-pulling in the background.

Not everyone wants a second attempt. The contestant in the elaborate pink cloak offers a cheerfully untroubled assessment: "I wouldn't do anything differently. It all went very well for me."
