The Celebrity Traitors took the beloved original and arguably made it better. Where else would you get national treasurers like Stephen Fry trying to work out how many people died in Hamlet after literally lighting a Trojan horse on fire? Or Alan Carr looking like Mother Gothel as he makes his way up to the Traitor’s turret?
This new twist on The Traitors has already cemented itself into the favourites of many households nationwide. As a King’s student and new Traitors fan, I wondered what KCL campus each contestant would be based at if they attended King’s.
So, here is a deeply unserious analysis based on pure vibes and traitorous behaviour, of course. Warning, spoilers ahead!
Strand Campus
It’s clear traitor Alan Carr would fit right into Strand. You can just see him sitting in The Shack, coffee in hand, while giggling and gossiping with his good friend Paloma Faith. That’s assuming they rekindle after Alan’s treacherous betrayal, of course. His fun and chaotic vibes match that of Strand as there is always something going on with both of them.
Niko Omilana would also love Strand. He could easily go from studying in Bush House to meeting up with the Beta Squad in central London to film a video. Also, Stephen Fry and David Olusoga would spend their days in the Maughan Library. They would admire the view of millions of books at their disposal, like their own personal heaven.
To add, Celia Imrie would definitely enjoy practising her banshee impressions on the stage at the Great Hall, that is of course if she can control her wind.
Waterloo Campus
Waterloo is a smaller campus but still a vital addition to King’s. The same can be said about Charlotte Church, Ruth Codd and Kate Garraway. They have played important (but much smaller) roles in the game, like Charlotte’s incredible singing, Ruth’s accusation of Jonathan hitting the nail on the head or even Kate’s outside the box thinking when she believed there could have been a recruitment in episode three.
Olympian diver Tom Daley would also appreciate the view of the Thames, even though he definitely would not be allowed to dive from there. Whilst visiting the Franklin-Wilkins building, he could pop down to the library to find out what flabbergasted actually means.
Guy’s Campus
The remaining traitors, Jonathan Ross and Cat Burns would belong to Guys. Their cool, collected and composed vibes are definitely reminiscent of a Guy’s student.
Clare Balding’s detective skills have also landed her a place at Guy’s. You would probably see her in the Psychology department getting more tips on catching traitors. I can also see Joe Marler joining KCL Rugby Society at Guy’s or leading it since he is now retired.
Denmark Hill
Another smaller campus that perfectly matches the rest of our faithful’s. Mark Bonnar and especially Nick Mohammed (with his puzzle solving abilities) would fit in with the brilliant minds already studying there.
Lucy Beaumont, Joe Wilkinson and Tameka Empson would cheer up tired placement students with their quick quips and hilariously witty sayings.
