The Traitors roundtable is past the halfway point with 12 players remaining. Of those 12, 11 are in their 20s and 30s, with Rachel now the oldest at 42. The episode has renewed discussion about whether older contestants are being voted out earlier, following earlier claims about racial bias in voting.
Key facts:
- Eleven of the 12 remaining players are reported to be in their 20s or 30s, and Rachel is identified as the oldest remaining contestant at 42.
- Remaining contestants range in age from Faraaz, 22, to James, 38, according to the article.
- Ten contestants have already been banished or murdered, and many of those eliminated were among the older members of the cast, including Netty (42), Judy (60), Ben (66), Hugo (51), Maz (59), Amanda (57), Fiona (62), and Harriet (52).
- The article notes that social grouping by age may be a factor, with older contestants reporting closer ties among peers and a younger subgroup forming alliances.
- The Celebrity Traitors series is presented as a contrast, where older, well-known players were often seen as valuable and tended to survive longer in the game.
Summary:
The concentration of younger players still at the roundtable has led to questions about age dynamics in the civilian series. The article presents possible explanations such as age-based social bonds and task-related considerations but does not draw a definitive conclusion. Undetermined at this time.
