Jasmine
Age: 26
From: London
Occupation: Sales Executive
Why did you apply for the show?
"I just think I'll be great at it. I work in sales so I'm a professional truth embezzler which is kind of my tagline, and why I wanted to go on to The Traitors. I also think that ultimately, I have the personality to do well. I'm very personable, and people tend to want to befriend me a lot which is how you get people on side. It's a game of making allies, isn't it? You don't want people to vote you out."
What is your game plan?
"I do have a game plan per se, but it kind of chops and changes. I think my game plan is to just be myself. I think the people that have done well on the show before are people that have their own personality laced within what they're trying to do. So, I'm not going to try and make up this fake persona and try to be someone else. I think the biggest game plan would be to try and befriend and betray. However, I'm not going to do it to the extent that I upset people and make them want to eliminate me. It's got to be subtle."
How would you feel to be chosen as a Traitor?
"I think I'll be fine. I would be comfortable being a Traitor. It's a game at the end of the day and everyone knows it's a game. It's not that deep. It's not typically who I am as a person but I just want to win the money, and so does everyone else."
What would you spend the prize money on?
"I would definitely help my parents. We went through some tough financial times, and I would just love to be able to pay off their mortgage and do up their house to the standard that they'd want to live in forever, because I think that will be the home that my mum and dad retire in. Other than that, I am going to go shopping. I am going to treat myself and then I'll invest the rest, I'm not going to throw it all away. It's a lot of money to have nothing to show for it in twenty years' time, that would be a shame. So, help my parents, go shopping a little bit and invest the rest."
The Traitors series two begins Wednesday, January 3 at 9pm on BBC One.
