There’s a Faithful power team building around Tom in Celebrity Traitors – here’s who’s in the squad

by

Tom Daley’s perfectly timed, subtle glare at Kate Garraway while Paloma Faith was eliminated on *Celebrity Traitors* was a truly iconic moment.

The athlete is completely focused on winning the competition and is dedicated to identifying and eliminating anyone working against the team.

The British diver is incredibly likeable – it’s hard to dislike someone who won an Olympic gold medal for the UK! – and his ability to connect with the other contestants on the show has made him a strong, well-liked, and deserving competitor.

He’s already given us some truly unforgettable moments, even after just two episodes! His response to Alan Carr, when he questioned whether Kate Garraway was a Traitor, was particularly brilliant. He quipped, “Is ‘flabbergasted’ just another way of saying ‘whoopsie-daisy’?”

He’s incredibly charismatic and can easily convince others to see things his way, making him a popular person to be around. Even someone who usually disagrees, like Cat Burns, found themselves nodding along with Tom’s unusual idea about Kate Garraway, despite Alan trying to point out potential flaws.

Tom has unexpectedly formed a powerful group with Stephen Fry and Clare Balding. Together, these three are central to everything you see on screen.

Statisticians online have observed a significant dynamic in the game. Bryce Millard, from thejoyofstats on X (formerly Twitter), points out that Clare, Stephen, and Tom are forming a strong, trustworthy alliance that rivals the opposing Traitors’ group. Now, two powerful groups are competing: one focused on strategy and secrecy, and the other on trust and openness.

According to Bryce, data shows that Clare Balding, Stephen Fry, and Tom Daley are now central figures in most conversations and decision-making processes.

You know, it’s funny – Clare Balding actually thought Alan Carr might be the secret traitor! She mentioned it, but didn’t really dig into that idea during the second episode. It just struck me as a really interesting thought, honestly!

Building on the idea that there’s a central power group, Bryce points out that Clare is incredibly well-connected – she interacts with almost everyone. She seems to be a key communicator, both soothing others like Charlotte and organizing efforts. Essentially, she’s the hub for the group’s information.

Stephen Fry, however, has the most overall influence. Though he’s relatively quiet, he’s connected to other important people like Clare and Tom. His opinions carry weight and spread throughout the entire network.

Don’t worry, we had to look up ‘eigenvector’ as well! Basically, it’s a vector that stays pointing in the same direction even when things are changed or transformed around it.

So, all this success is making Tom a huge target for the Traitors. They’re starting to realize he could really mess up their plans, and they’re definitely coming after him now.

He received only one vote in the initial round of the Castle competition, and current betting odds suggest he’s likely to be eliminated.

With Stephen and Clare supporting him, he’s doing really well so far, but everything could change tonight!

The Celebrity Traitors is on BBC1 tonight at 9pm and on iPlayer.

The new edition of Living Legends is here! Buy Gaga in newsagents or online, priced at just £8.99.
