“Hannah’s Big Mistake” - Celeb Traitors Reaction (Episode 3)

Marina Hyde (0:21)

Hello, and welcome to this special reaction episode of The Rest Is Entertainment. I'm Marina Hyde.

Richard Osman (0:27)

And I'm Richard Osman. Hello, everyone. Just like us, we've just finished watching the latest Celebrity Traitors. If you haven't just finished watching this, please switch off. Now we're going to talk about everything we just saw. Our opinions, our predictions, our thoughts about various of the players, various of their tactics, and what might happen next.

Marina Hyde (0:47)

The Rest Is Entertainment is presented by Octopus Energy, whose generation business backs, builds, and manages renewable energy projects. On screen, though, the practicalities of sourcing power are slightly more negotiable.

Richard Osman (1:00)

Certainly in script. I mean, my favorite energy source story, Back to the Future, of course, they're supposed to have plutonium. They don't have plutonium, so they were like...

Marina Hyde (1:09)

Back in, when they go back in time, so they need to get 1.21 gigawatts.

Richard Osman (1:14)

Which they get from the lightning strike, which they know is going to happen at 10.04, very, very clever. Monsters Inc. Now you know where the power source is Monsters Inc.

Marina Hyde (1:22)

Everything in Monstropolis is powered by children's screams, which is why they need to sort of harvest them.

Richard Osman (1:28)

Yeah, may not work in real life.

Marina Hyde (1:29)

On screen, keeping the lights on does seem to require an unnecessary amount of drama.

Richard Osman (1:34)

Now, Octopus Energy Generation has rather less need for a screenwriter. It backs, builds and manages renewable energy projects with 5.7 gigawatts of capacity across its portfolio, enough to power all the homes and businesses at Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester combined. A slightly more conventional approach to generating power.

Marina Hyde (1:54)

I think we do have to begin at the beginning, don't we, though?

Richard Osman (1:56)

With Richard.

Marina Hyde (1:57)

I don't think we'll see that particular game plan again in the future of this format. Richard, what do you think? My Richard, what do you think?

Richard Osman (2:04)

I think it's slightly unsettled the whole show up to now. I sort of feel like the show hasn't really started yet because what we've had is like a mini-series, which is somebody does the most mental thing you could ever possibly do on Celebrity Traitors.

Marina Hyde (2:16)

You're right. It does have a mini-series feel to it.

Richard Osman (2:19)

Yeah. It's almost like a cold open to a Bond movie, which is Richard E. Grant has come in because the second he does it, you think, oh, this is brilliant. Oh, this is brilliant. I'm a traitor and now he gets to just be the agent of chaos and go, of course, I'm not a traitor, but I'm sort of going to act like I am.

I wanted to be one, so I am going to cause trouble. Easy. You're out of the woods completely, but he didn't. He was sort of, oh, no, sorry. I thought if I said it, someone else might say they were a traitor and we'd catch one. So I think that the whole thing is slightly off balance at the moment. I think from tomorrow's episode, which we're also doing a reaction video afterwards, I think maybe things might settle. But they haven't yet. Do you know what I mean?

Marina Hyde (3:01)

Yeah, they haven't. It's the first time in either the US or the UK version of this show of any type that they've got a traitor at the first round table.

Richard Osman (3:12)

Yeah, it was probably the first time the traitor said, the first time a traitor and then not gone back on it.

Marina Hyde (3:16)

I think we know that. But actually, I was looking and I was thinking it must have happened somewhere. And it has happened a few times in Europe. There was one in Poland where the guy was so thoroughly sort of debunked at the round table that he also voted for himself.

Richard Osman (3:30)

Did he? Yeah.

Marina Hyde (3:30)

Yeah, so that's it. But other than that, I think that's quite a Richard move, actually. I'm surprised he didn't vote for himself.

Richard Osman (3:36)

Yeah, I'm surprised he didn't. So Richard, 16 votes he got. He didn't vote for himself, of course. Worth looking at the people he didn't vote for him.

I think if someone says, I am a traitor and then doesn't do anything to really disavow themselves of that, it sort of feels like you should probably vote for them.

The ones who didn't, my two absolute favorites, Jerry and Joanne, both of whom voted for Leanne. I think Joanne said, it's the only tangible bit of information I have to go on. The fact that Leanne touched up her lip gloss. I think other than the fact that Richard E. Grant said, I am a traitor and ever since had not really denied it, I feel slightly more tangible. But God bless them both for doing that.
