Rex

is a Faithful from The Traitors.
Rex started out the game by slyly eavesdropping on others, despite being a Faithful, to gather intel. Despite Rex never being caught out on this, it was found suspicious when he was the least active in the Icebreaker Mission, but switched up his behaviour and came across as bold at the first Round Table. When the discussion escalated, and Rex started calling people names, he got voted out for his bad attitude, even though he was a Faithful.

Tell me a bit about yourself outside of the game. What are your hobbies, interests, or passions?
Hi I'm Rex. I'm a caring and considerate person in my day to day life, I really struggle seeing other people upset or struggling and try and do what I can to improve their lives, whether it's a big impact or a small impact. I play trumpet and football, both of which have helped me make lifelong friends. I love science, and am hoping to start a chemical engineering course at university in the coming months
Explain to us what your general strategy is going into any ORG - unrelated to its format or twists. Then, could you point out any flaws in your gameplay?
First and foremost, regardless of the format of the ORG the social game is the most important aspect - this is true for survivor, big brother, and (while I've never played it before) presumably, the traitors. The more people like you, the less likely they are to want to vote you out which will help you regardless of which team you're on.
Connections are the most important thing in the game, however, unfortunately, they're also what I tend to stuggle with the most in ORGs. I have a very calculating and strategic demenour when playing online (which is quite different to my day to day life) which makes people struggle to trust me or believe that the connection I have made with them is real. Another huge weakness in my gameplay is always my inability to stay under the radar, I like to be the person in control, I like to be the person everyone is looking at when big things happen.. unfortunately this also means I'm the person everyone is looking at when deciding who to vote out
How will you adapt your personality and your strategy to better fit the role of being a Faithful or Traitor?
My personality won't change regardless of which faction I am. Given I will be trying to connect with people on day 1, before I know my faction, I will be genuinely me. After that any change to my personality will only raise suspicions from my fellow players which is a negative response regardless of my faction (either I'm good and they're looking at the wrong guy or I'm bad and at risk of going home)
The main strategic difference between being faithful or traitor is trying to keep information flowing vs trying to prevent as much information as possible. While being a traitor may lead to misinformation being spread, once it's revealed that this information is false it will put a huge target on the person spreading that misinformation. Therefore it's better that no information is spread at all. However, information is also the only way you're going to catch the traitors, so as a faithful it is imperative that you spread as much correct information as possible
As a host, confessionals are one of the most important things to me! How do you tackle your confessionals? Do you update them live with your thought process, or info dump at the end of an episode, or something else?
I am incredibly active in my confessionals, and the way that is portrayed varies depending on the situation. Sometimes someone does something incredible or stupid and I can't wait to talk about it and just start talking in my conf. However, I also put in info dumps each episode to convey my thoughts on the bigger picture.
I always try and play some sort of character while I'm playing ORGs to give the spectators someone to root for or someone to root against. Sometimes I'll be incredibly negative in my confessional, sometimes I'll be super positive, but I won't be bland or not say anything personal. I'll always incorporate emotions into the confessional in some wayI also provided my thoughts on the power rankings of the tribe after each vote, unfortunately I was voted out pretty early for playing too hard (like I said) so I don't have much more on the power rankings, but just an idea of the types of things I do in my confessional
How do you handle conflict or disagreements with others?
I'm not afraid to be completely open about it, I'm not afraid to attack someone about gameplay, but just won't get personal about it. I'm not against creating some drama or calling someone out for bad gameplay but not going to attack people personally over a game
Rex entered the castle as one of the newbies, presenting himself as a caring and considerate person who also has a passion for sports. Although the room selection way of chatting confused him, as he was used to DMs, he took advantage of it and went on invisible whilst Braden, Pom Pom, and Vae were talking, to eavesdrop on their conversation. In the Icebreaker Mission, Rex was preoccupied by outside responsibilities, so only answered one question to avoid a strike. So, when he was one of the last people to enter Breakfast the next morning, many people said they wouldn’t mind if he was the one murdered by the Traitors. However, mysteriously, there had been no murder.
In the second Mission, Rex came across as assertive and somewhat confrontational in his trio chat with Clayton and Pen. The trios needed to have open communication and avoid all three of them picking Risk, or they would all lose their Round Table votes. Because of his inactivity up until this point, Rex was able to convince his trio that he was not a Faithful. With Pen protecting his vote, Rex was able to keep his Round Table vote and enter the Armoury - although he found nothing. 
Entering the Round Table, Rex had already rubbed people the wrong way. During the mission, he told Pen and Clayton to be upfront so that if they lied about what they picked, it would be clear who the Traitor was. So, when he proposed the "Trio Theory" - which claimed the two trios who all chose Risk must have Traitors among them - it was met with an adverse response. The Round Table discussion became increasingly confrontational, leading to Rex calling Alisha a "fucking clown". Due to the negativity surrounding Rex at the Round Table, both in a strategic and personal way, he was voted out and revealed to be a Faithful. Marge even said, when casting her vote for Rex, "Traitor or not, I can do without the attitude moving forward", which was a viewpoint that the cast seemed to agree with.
