Occupations: Carpet Fitter and Teaching Assistant
From: Huddersfield
How would you describe yourselves?
Yasmine: “Absolutely crazy!”
James: “I’d say we’re a bit bonkers to be fair! Crazy in a good way!”
Did you have a strategy going in to the competition?
Yasmine: “We winged it! We took each day as it came.”
James: “We wanted to stay in as long as we could, enjoy the experience and if we managed to win it, then wow. For me, even getting on a plane for that long was a miracle!”
How important were alliances?
How did you decide who to trust and be wary of?
Yasmine: “We were always really wary of people.”
James: “A lot of people showed their true colours in the challenges, you could see the competitiveness coming out!”
Were you able to spot when other contestants were bluffing?
James: “I was rubbish at it really! Everyone played a really good game I think.”
Yasmine: “I didn’t figure it out by people’s faces, I did it by the cases and who swapped. I was good at remembering who swapped and whose original case was with who.”
The Fortune Hotel continues Wednesdays and Thursdays at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
