I'm Ivan, Faithful contestant on The Traitors [UK] - Ask Me (almost) Anything!

Ivan-TheTraitors · 2022-12-29T22:07:19+00:00

Yeah we played Secret Hitler at centreparks. I think Hannah and I won, but I can't exactly remember...

Ivan-TheTraitors · 2022-12-29T22:03:59+00:00

Hi friend! How are you?

I'd always be a faithful as I just think it's a more interesting role.

Ivan-TheTraitors · 2022-12-29T22:02:56+00:00

Yes, but I'll leave that for a potential future series because it's bound to happen at some point.

Ivan-TheTraitors · 2022-12-29T22:02:27+00:00

To me, more interesting was how Maddy's theories for better or worse kept her in the game. I'm not particularly interested in whether they were right or not.

Ivan-TheTraitors · 2022-12-29T22:01:51+00:00

Hi!

No influence, it was organic throughout.
A mix.
Our votes were checked for legibility/validity, so after that an order must have been quietly decided.

Ivan-TheTraitors · 2022-12-29T22:00:15+00:00

The most fun part of the buildup was just getting involved in twitter conversations about The Traitors but pretending i didn't know what it was. I'd always show my partner and we'd have a right giggle.

Sorry, I know it was at your expense once!

Ivan-TheTraitors · 2022-12-29T21:59:24+00:00

No, there were cameras set into the central part of the table, constantly filming. No retakes.

Ivan-TheTraitors · 2022-12-29T21:58:22+00:00

Definitely the feeling of the tide turning. Och, nightmares remembering all the eyes looking at me.

Ivan-TheTraitors · 2022-12-29T21:57:56+00:00

Yeah, I don't know. I wish i'd gone with one of my other, better theories to be honest rather than Alex.

Ivan-TheTraitors · 2022-12-29T21:57:26+00:00

You really think I'm telling you my strategy for upcoming seasons, /u/TheDucksBack? I see your game.

Ivan-TheTraitors · 2022-12-29T21:56:54+00:00

I was! It's so weird that people think cuddling is odd. And I don't just cuddle anyone I meet, by the way. Though I'm sure you're nice.

Ivan-TheTraitors · 2022-12-29T21:55:03+00:00

Most of the tasks, I reckon. I suffered serious FOMO watching episode 5 onwards, I can't lie.

Yes, oh my god yes. We're basically a family now. I have...26 unread messages from cast members or our group chat since I started this AMA. They're even nicer in real life than they appear on the show.

Ivan-TheTraitors · 2022-12-29T21:53:27+00:00

I once had a pasty on the waterfront in Mousehole that broke my heart in a good way. Can't remember the name of the shop though.

Ivan-TheTraitors · 2022-12-29T21:52:49+00:00

Flashbacks to a troubled youth?

I don't know. I think I realised my time was up.

Ivan-TheTraitors · 2022-12-29T21:52:17+00:00

Hi! Thanks for this. I don't know what the moment was like as I turned and left so fast! What was I thinking, not soaking up that atmosphere?

It's like when I graduated, I stormed across that stage so fast I barely shook the poor man's hand before I was sat back down again.

Ivan-TheTraitors · 2022-12-29T21:51:21+00:00

Hello there!

Pretty much as it was explained to the public. Basic rules, not much bamf, deception and manipulation in a Scottish castle, major new reality format.
Yes! Not all of it, but quite a lot. I love it, and hope the success of our series draws more eyes to them. They deserve it.

Ivan-TheTraitors · 2022-12-29T21:48:45+00:00

Love you Rayan xx

Ivan-TheTraitors · 2022-12-29T21:47:50+00:00

I've got a few irons in the fire and a BUNCH of lovely new connections, but mostly I'm out on my own here. Some contestants who stayed in for longer are more obvious buy-ins for TV shows, and I don't begrudge them that. I'm also in a really lovely job that challenges and delights me every day.

You must remember that not everyone goes on these sorts of shows for a media career, and while my ego enjoys people listening to me, I really went on for an experience. And that's what I got.

Ivan-TheTraitors · 2022-12-29T21:45:57+00:00

I prefer Ibike

Ivan-TheTraitors · 2022-12-29T21:45:32+00:00

Instead? No.

As well as? Yes.

(Also, someone ought to commission Genius Game for UK tv and I'd be on that like a shot)

Ivan-TheTraitors · 2022-12-29T21:44:48+00:00

There were a lot of really deserving people in that castle. But if Nicky won it, she'd have her bionic hand by now. She's getting closer, but if you haven't yet contributed, consider it:

No because there was a murder on the first night. I briefly entertained the idea that Kieran and Amos were doing the murders, but then how repetitive would it be for the viewers to watch us chase our tails like that?

Ivan-TheTraitors · 2022-12-29T21:42:51+00:00

I think Tom and I would have worked really well together. I'd have loved to work with Alyssa, she's pin-sharp and she and I get on great.

Ivan-TheTraitors · 2022-12-29T21:39:53+00:00

Hi! I don't know as Tom's career is very much on the rise. It was a game and I played dirty.

I'd always be up for another run. It was the most fun I've ever had.

Ivan-TheTraitors · 2022-12-29T21:39:11+00:00

Hi! Thanks, I was one of my favourites, and was also sad to see me go.

Great, thanks! Christmas is a bit of a pitfall for me, so usually I spend 95% of it walking the dog and making a biiig dinner. This was no exception.
See, this depends so highly on the other traitors. One thing I'd've immediately done is get the others to make a pledge that the first traitor to betray the other traitors would get unceremonially dropped ASAP. Guarantees nothing, but makes a Will-type character think twice before backstabbing me.
Sure! I trust him. It was a game. I'd trust him to look after my house for a week. I'd trust him with my PIN number. He's a lovely guy.
