Celebrity Traitors' Hannah Fry reveals two mistakes Maya Jama and James Acaster made that could see them rumbled
Hannah has revealed her 'Enigma code' calculationsCelebrity Traitors‘ latest banished player Hannah Fry has revealed two big mistakes Maya Jama and James Acaster have made.
Hannah was recruited to join Maya and James as a Traitor, but last night the Faithful voted her out.
The mathematician has now lifted the lid on where she thinks Maya and James have already slipped up, calling upon her extensive workings out.
Initially a Faithful, Hannah had used the same method Alan Turing had used to crack the Enigma machine.
She had watched all previous series of The Traitors, along with last year’s The Celebrity Traitors, to look for patterns.
Hannah has now opened up her yellow exercise book and revealed where she believes Maya and James have gone wrong.
And if correct, it means the pair will be rumbled before making it to the Endgame.
Celebrity Traitors’ Hannah Fry reveals Maya and James ‘mistakes’
Hannah appeared on The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked last night (October 15), following her banishment from the castle. She produced her Enigma code-style calculations while speaking to host Ed Gamble.
Hannah told Ed: “I did all my work in advance. I went through all of the series’ before and, do you want to see my equations?” She then held open her yellow notebook.
“This is me working out my calculations. I used the same technique that Alan Turing used to crack the Enigma machine,” Hannah admitted.
She continued: “Okay, so here’s what I found are giveaways. One, a Traitor will make a burn vote in the first three episodes. James has done it, Maya has done it.”
The “burn vote” strategy involves voting for someone who isn’t already a major target. This allows the Traitor to avoid taking sides while keeping their own identity under wraps.
“Traitors will also pile on and banish another Traitor despite having never voted for them before,” Hannah added.
“James and Maya have slightly given themselves away because they switched their vote from Julie to me. There’s only a small number of people who have done that.”
Ed asked Hannah if she’d shared her calculations with Maya and James. But she replied: “No, because I wanted to look clever on the outside.”
Hannah Fry ‘devastated’ to be out of the show
Hannah also worked out that Traitors “don’t hang out together”. “You never see three Traitors in a car together, you never see three Traitors at breakfast together,” she said.
The brainbox told Ed she is “devastated” that she never got to put her calculations into practise.
“They spoiled the answer for me!” she admitted.
Meanwhile, back in the castle, Maya and James have decided to recruit a new Traitor follow Hannah’s banishment. The pair have brought YouTuber King Kenny into the turret.
The game has been turned on its head again!
