Following an unexpected twist, Yin Lu found herself as the unfortunate first faithful to be ousted from the new series of The Traitors. In a rapid turn of events, a brutal vote sealed her fate, sending her packing early on.
Post-elimination, she appeared on BBC Breakfast to unveil the behind-the-scenes drama and express her thoughts on the show’s shocking decision-making challenge that pitted her and others in a race against time, threatening to slash the prize fund significantly the longer they deliberated.
Breaking down the factors that may have led to her early departure, host Charlie queried: “Why do you think you’re the first to be kicked out? ” To which Yin candidly responded: “I think I am terrible at analysing myself because I am very biased. I must have projected more confidence and more. I think people have called me smart but I don’t believe that myself but I must have come across as intelligent and very observant more than I would have liked to have come across if that makes sense.”
