Rachel Duffy for The Traitors UK S4 / BBC
Age: 42
From: County Down
Occupation: Head of Communications
Why did you apply to take part in the show?
“I love the game. I’ve played the game Mafia for about 15 years, and I am a competitive person, through and through. My friends and family call me Monica from Friends. I just love games. I love challenges, so I thought I’m going to give that a go.”
Do you have a gameplan?
“I’m going to say that I work in Marketing, which is true, but it’s leaving out the fact that I do strategic communications across Northern Ireland on a daily basis. I don’t want them to know that speaking to people and getting my point across is very easy for me. I suppose the overriding game plan is to just have fun and be super fun and super positive and be lovely to be around, which is going to hopefully get me a little bit further in the game.”
How would you feel if you were a Traitor?
“I’d love it. That is my go-to because I love being in control of a game more than anything. Kind of like being a bit of a puppet master. I have a lot of integrity in real life; I work for a charity that helps people. But I would love so much to play in a game where I get to backstab and lie to people’s faces, as I don’t get to do that any other time.”
How far would you go in order to win?
“It’s very black and white for me. If it’s a game, I would do anything at all to win. They’ve all signed up to a game with a very obvious name on it. If they don’t get the memo, you’re on the wrong show.”
How would you spend the prize money?
“I would make memories with the most important people in my life. My mum has dementia, and she wants to go on a holiday as she used to go on holidays all the time before my dad passed. That’s all she wants. I just want to create memories with her whilst I’m still lucky enough to have her, and to create memories with my kids, because they just love their nanny.”
The Traitors continues Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 8pm on BBC One.
