Charlotte’s Welsh accent ploy on The Traitors leaves fans baffled
London: The Traitors made a splash on Wednesday night with some wild twists that had everyone glued to their screens. It kicked off with 25 new contestants, but shockingly, three were sent packing before they even stepped into the castle.
That left 22 players to mingle before Claudia Winkleman picked her three Traitors. Among them was Charlotte, who decided to pretend she was from Wales. She even put on a Welsh accent! But guess what? She ended up chatting with Elen, a real Welsh speaker from Cardiff.
Charlotte, a 32-year-old Business Director, thought she could pull it off. She said, “I figured there’s usually only one Welsh contestant, but this time, Claudia brought two of us, which is cool.” But then she dropped the bomb: “I’m actually from London!”
She explained her strategy, saying, “The Welsh accent is super trustworthy, and in a game where trust is key, I thought it would help.” But viewers were scratching their heads, wondering why she’d go through all that trouble, especially since she wasn’t even a Traitor.
Fans took to Reddit, and the reactions were priceless. One user said, “Pretending to be Welsh is such a bizarre tactic, even with the ‘trustworthy accent’ thing.” Another chimed in, “This whole Welsh act is just silly. It’ll only make her look like a liar.”
Some found it hilarious, with one person commenting, “Pretending to be Welsh and then meeting a Welsh speaker? That’s comedy gold!” Others thought it was a clever move, saying, “This setup is brilliant!”
Whatever the case, it’s clear that The Traitors is back with a bang, and fans can’t wait to see what happens next!
The Traitors continues tonight at 8pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer
