The season four cast of The Traitors might just be the most competitive yet — so how does Jade plan to stand out? Simple: she’s got years of video game experience, many of which she says are surprisingly similar to the show. When the chance to apply came up, she asked herself, “Why would I not?”
“I’m quite an observant person, I’m good with people, and I pick up on things that a lot of people think I miss,” she shared. “I have pretty strong problem-solving abilities, so hopefully that will help me navigate the game and the missions.”

Social media is already obsessed with Amanda — especially her plan to keep her job a secret from the other contestants. We don’t blame her: she’d be first to go otherwise!
Amanda is in it to win it and has believed in her chances since first watching the show.
As a detective, she’s conducted countless interviews with criminals and victims, giving her the ability to “put the pieces together to find the truth and see through the lies.”
“To be a Traitor, you have to be good at lying, have a solid poker face, and be a master of deflection to avoid being identified. I’ve learned a lot about being deceptive, devious, and cunning,” she explained.
“On the other side of the coin, I’m a good person — I became a police officer to help people. You have to be nice and calm, even when there’s a storm around you. I’d bring all these skills into the game, whichever role I’m assigned.”
We’re obsessed with her strategy: “My game plan is to almost not have a game plan.”
