“Nobody messes with Judy,” said Judy, shortly before being banished at the round table in episode two of the new season of The Traitors. There’s only two kinds of people who speak about themselves in the third person: oddballs (hoarders, flashers, referees etc) and genuinely hard people. Judy fell into the latter camp, being a child liaison officer from Doncaster, who clearly spends her life straight-talking people as she protects kids. Unbeknownst to the other contestants, she has a foster daughter also on the show, Roxy, who after Judy revealed she was a Faithful on her way out, called out everyone who had voted for following a “herd mentality.”
And despite protestations from the likes of Sam (like a daytime TV version of Patrick Bateman), it really was herd mentality taking over the game yet again. For what had Judy done? Apparently she hadn’t reacted like other people around the breakfast table or during tasks. And she generally appeared to be quite clever.
