The Secret Traitor! The battle of the barristers! Fiona going all “J’accuse!” against co-conspirator Rachel! We’re now past the halfway point of The Traitors’ fourth season, and so far it’s been a vintage outing. Yet this time around, there’s just one small issue that’s blighting my viewing enjoyment ever so slightly. Here’s my confession: I simply cannot tell the vast majority of the younger male contestants apart.
Matt. Sam. Reece. Adam. James. Every single time, I tune in, hear these names being bandied about in whispered conversations about who’s displaying “traitorous behaviour” and who isn’t, then utterly fail to match them to the correct twenty or thirtysomething bloke. They simply appear to me as a sort of generically nice-looking, vaguely amiable young man wearing lovely knitwear.
