James Acaster.
MarkHOST

DaveHOST
So I think, yeah, it's all so obvious in hindsight, but I thought it was going to be Ross as well.
DaveHOST
But, yeah, when it came down to it, and it's Rob Beckett, and, of course, he gives out a big belly laugh, doesn't he? He says, like, you know, there was no way he was going to pick out James Acaster and Maya Jammer at all.
DaveHOST
But, yeah, I was quite gutted about that.
DaveHOST
And, you know, Romesh does throw out there, like, you know, look at the bright side.
ChrisHOST
Yeah, they did, to be fair.
ChrisHOST
But I think it's been so obvious to us as the audience, and that is all hindsight because of watching it, you're like, well, the trades have been great.
ChrisHOST
I mean, I've got to say, Dave, James Acaster's been good.
ChrisHOST
He's only a recent trader, but Maya Jama has just been solid all the way through.
JamieHOST
I've enjoyed Joe Lysett I think he's been really fun I like Maya from Galoa I love
MattHOST
Maya Jama I love Maya Jama and James Acaster's chemistry like it's so different like just different types of people that I'm kind of shipping them lowkey I know they're not but because their energies are so different I'm just like but what yeah
JamieHOST

MattHOST

HodoHOST

KaltunHOST
traitors
RichardHOST
It's just for comic effect.
RichardHOST
Called James Acaster.
RichardHOST
He was a traitor, but he doesn't lie because he's Christian or something like that.
RichardHOST
what's no
RichardHOST
It's like a reunion.
RichardHOST
And he didn't actually go on it, which caused some crazy, crazy debates, which is interesting.
RichardHOST
But the traitor, who is possibly about to win, influencer boxer, Kenny, he blamed James Acaster for his banishment, which is interesting.
RichardHOST
Definitely changed the...
KevinHOST
Bash, as they call him.
KevinHOST
But the episode before it, the finale, did you see that one where James Acaster was just...
KevinHOST
I
CarlaHOST
think that's the last two.
KevinHOST
Oh, right.
KevinHOST
So you know James Acaster.
KevinHOST
He, at the round table, openly admitted to everybody that he was a traitor and goes, just vote me.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
Which I
Holly TaylorHOST
but one thing that we've not discussed at all that people have been really cross with us for actually is the celebrity traitors we haven't talked about it i can't believe we haven't talked about it we have obviously both been watching and we've obviously both been discussing in our private lives a lot together yes so maybe next week we need to just do like a segment where we just we can now talk about the entire thing because the series is over so we can just talk about it
Esther NewmanHOST
yeah and hopefully there'll be more stuff that will come out in the mainstream press as well about because there's been lots of rumors and chat about sort of stuff that didn't make it to the final cut for kind of sensitive reasons i think james acaster has had some conversations yeah um but just quickly then are you pleased with who won it
Holly TaylorHOST
Yeah, I actually so am.
Holly TaylorHOST
I felt like it was such a lovely final.
Holly TaylorHOST
Joe was great.
Holly TaylorHOST
I guess it's like you don't see so much of...
Holly TaylorHOST
As you guys know, I love James Acaster and Esther hates him.
Esther NewmanHOST
I've changed my mind.
AvaHOST
I'm always happy to rewatch stuff like that.
AvaHOST
So we rewatched the final and it was fun to be, I'll talk about it more in our episode, but she brought another like point of view about James Acaster, which we can talk about.
AvaHOST
So we had episodes nine and 10 this week with 10 being the finale and, And it felt a bit like the traitors finally kicked into action, I thought, for the final bit.
AvaHOST
Yeah.
10 MINS LATER
AvaHOST
It seems increasingly obvious that the conversation turns, it starts with Michael Sheen saying, tell me everything you think is suspicious about me.
AvaHOST
It's clever because then the conversation starts with him and then will change.
AvaHOST
And it changes gradually over to James Acaster.
AvaHOST
And I think he can feel the tide of the conversation turning.
KatieHOST
remember one is one gone.
EdHOST
There was Maya Jama, Kenny, and James Acaster.
KatieHOST
But didn't James Acaster walk out?
EdHOST
So you know that much?
KatieHOST
I do know that much because you told me this...
EdHOST
But that was it.
EdHOST
They were the finalists.
EdHOST
There's lots of speculation now, apparently, about James Acaster, that he actually allegedly had a major panic attack during filming of the trailers.
JohnHOST
And then on the British version, you have like Richard E.
JohnHOST
Grant and Bella Ramsey and people that are like real actors and James Acaster and people like that.
JohnHOST
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
JohnHOST
Oh, this person's at the top of their field and they're good and they're in this.
