Sir Stephen Fry has shared his thoughts on the contestants he hopes will win the reality show “Celebrity Traitors.” After experiencing banishment in a recent episode, Fry expressed a preference for comedian Lucy Beaumont and actress Celia Imrie. He described both as extraordinary individuals, highlighting their eccentricities.
Stephen Fry’s Insights on Contestants
At 68, Fry has found his time in “Celebrity Traitors” to be astonishing. He appreciates the dynamics of the game, which features a group called the “faithful” attempting to identify and eliminate a smaller faction of traitors. The objective of the faithful is to protect their prize money from these traitors.
Relationships Formed During Filming
One of Fry’s favorite aspects of the show is the relationships formed. He noted meaningful interactions with well-known personalities like David Olusoga and Clare Balding, whom he had previously known but hadn’t connected with profoundly. He also enjoyed getting to know newer faces, such as Joe Marler, Cat Burns, and Tameka Empson, from various fields.
Fry commented on the social dynamics of group life. He reflected on his childhood experiences, acknowledging the complexities of group interactions. “Humans are social animals,” he stated, emphasizing the importance of being part of a community. Over time, he observed how groups often shift, turning into smaller units as individuals pair off.
Challenges Faced on the Show
While he relished the experience, Fry admitted feeling apprehensive about the challenges posed in the missions. He specifically mentioned a demanding “Trojan horse” mission that required physical effort. Although not a regular gym-goer, Fry felt reassured knowing others, including rugby player Joe Marler, faced similar exhaustion.
He praised the production’s art department for their creativity. Fry described the missions as imaginative and enjoyable, noting that they added a delightful layer to the show.
