The Traitors Series 2: Meet Brian

In the nail-biting reality competition show, “The Traitors,” 22 strangers gather at a magnificent castle in the Scottish Highlands, ready to face a game of deception, deduction, and survival. Among them is Brian, a 33-year-old photographer from Glasgow, who seeks to prove himself and potentially win up to £120,000.

When asked about his decision to join the show, Brian reveals, “I watched the first series and, obviously, really enjoyed it. I like that it’s different and it’s a sort of mystery, whodunnit, type thing. I am also familiar with the format because every Christmas I play a game called Werewolves with my family which is quite similar. I also want to test myself.”

Reflecting on the previous season, Brian expresses his admiration, sharing, “I absolutely loved it. I loved the twists and turns and there were moments that genuinely took me by surprise. Usually I get bored easily, but this felt very fresh.” He adds, “I also love watching people, finding out about them and seeing how they react to certain situations.”

When asked about his game plan, Brian responds with a touch of humor, saying, “My game plan is to not have a game plan and take everything as it happens… If I have too much of a game plan and it gets thrown off course, I’ll think, ‘Well what the hell do I do now?!’ So, literally just take things as they come really.”

In terms of his strengths, Brian confidently shares, “I’m not necessarily a leader or a follower, I’m kind of in-between. I think it’s because I’m bossy, but I don’t like to be held accountable… I’m definitely driven, and I can push myself to do things.”

Discussing the possibility of being chosen as a Traitor, Brian reveals, “I’d love it because I would then be more in control of my fate. It would mean that I’d be on the show for longer, which would then mean I’m in with a better chance of genuinely having the full experience – there’s more chance of getting to the final.”

When asked about his ability to spot a liar, Brian admits, “I think I’m OK. I think I’d be good at it but then watching series one I remember lots of things Tom was saying and doing made it look like he was a Traitor, and he wasn’t. So, things like that would totally throw me off.”

Considering the qualities needed to make it to the final as a Faithful, Brian muses, “I think you need to be hyper aware of how you’re acting, but I guess this can be a positive or a negative… Trying hard during the missions too because everyone will want to win as much money as possible.”

When envisioning what he would do with the prize money, Brian shares, “Nothing too crazy, but I’d definitely take my girlfriend and her family away on holiday… I’d also like to put money towards the house as well.”

As “The Traitors” makes its highly anticipated return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer, viewers can expect to witness Brian’s entertaining and light-hearted approach to the game. Whether he ends up as a Faithful or a Traitor, Brian’s enthusiasm and adaptable nature are sure to make for a captivating and memorable player in this gripping reality competition.
