Who is Faraaz? Meet the Middlesbrough man in BBC The Traitors season 4
The fourth series of the BBC show will begin today (January 1) with 22 players battling it out, with the faithful hoping to outsmart the Traitors and make it to the final roundtable.
Faraaz, a 22 year old internal auditor from Middlesbrough, is already making it clear he is ready to play hard if he lands a place among the traitors.
Asked how far he would go to win the game, Faraaz did not hold back.
Faraaz said: “I’ll be throwing people under the bus if I need to.
“Really, it’s in a traitor’s best interests to stick with their fellow traitors as long as possible.
“Once you start betraying each other the trust goes, and then there are risks taken for unnecessary reasons.
“So, unity at the start and then throw someone under the bus at the last minute to be able to get to the next stage! It’s the game at the end of the day; the game’s the game.”
North Yorkshire man Sam, 34, an account manager.
He said: “My game plan is just assuming that I’m going to be made a traitor. I’ve rewatched all of the three seasons recently to see exactly how the good and bad traitors played the game.
“The best answer I’ve found is that the first five to seven banishments and murders are pretty much pot luck.
“It’s almost herd mentality; people go into that round table and one person says something that people cotton onto and it becomes a domino effect.”
The Traitors begins on January 1 at 8pm on BBC One.
