The Traitors UK S4 Castle / BBC
Sam Little has admitted that he was aware “the writing was on the wall” for him as he became the latest player to be banished on The Traitors.
The 34-year-old – an account manager from North Yorkshire – left the game after he received six out of 11 votes at the roundtable, having put a target on his own back earlier in the day when he single-mindedly went for a shield during the task.
Sam’s exit came after he had aroused suspicions from the very first roundtable due to his confident demeanour from the off.
“The way I started the game was very much on the front foot, and I got it so wrong,” he explained. “Watching it back, you do go ‘Ahh right, that does look quite suspicious!’ and unfortunately for me, not only did I get Judy wrong, but I also got Amanda wrong, and for everyone else around that table, it looks like I’ve almost got rid of two fellow Faithfuls and I am a Traitor.
“I also think the Traitors did a really good job at just constantly keeping me on the backburner. They didn’t always go fully for me, but they were just very careful about constantly bringing me up when they needed to.”
Reflecting on his departure, he continued: “I think by that point, after however many roundtables of just getting grilled, you get to a stage where you know your time’s up.
“You start walking around the castle into different rooms of people and suddenly their conversation stops and you think ‘Well, that was definitely about me!’ I remember thinking the writing was on the wall for me here.
“There’s only so long you can fight for, and I think I swerved it a few times. I remember Matt turning to me on one of the roundtables and asking how I have dodged so much heat. I’m so happy I did it and I’m so happy I stayed in as long as I did, but I think it was my time to leave.”
The Traitors continues tonight at 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
