Richard Osman has uncovered a key editing technique commonly used by producers of The Traitors, hinting at a significant upcoming twist. The author and Pointless host, with a background in working on shows like 8 Out of 10 Cats and Whose Line Is It Anyway?, transitioned to become a popular presenter.
In the recent episode on January 9, Faithful Matthew secured an opportunity to communicate with the Traitors, whose identities remained undisclosed. During the secretive interaction, he inquired about their next target, agreed with their choice of Jessie, and expressed interest in joining them as a Traitor.
This bold move surprised many viewers as Creative Director Matthew had maintained a low profile throughout the series. Fans on Reddit commended his strategic move but speculated on the potential risks involved.
On his podcast, The Rest is Entertainment, Richard’s co-host Marina Hyde emphasized the significance of Matthew’s sudden involvement in the central drama of the show, highlighting the impact of his decision to negotiate with the Traitors.
Richard explained that during the final editing process of episodes, producers often determine the focus on certain characters based on their future importance in the storyline. Marina hinted at more revelations to come in the series.
In the subsequent episode on January 14, Stephen and Rachel tentatively accepted Matthew’s request while planning to deceive him later on. Some fans expressed concerns that Matthew’s clever maneuver might expose him as a skilled strategist to the Traitors, potentially making him a powerful ally.
