Why did you apply to be on The Traitors?
Firstly, because I love the show's authenticity. It's not scripted and it’s full of ordinary people. That was the first reason. And secondly, I genuinely thought I'd be really good at the game.
What do you think you'll bring to the game? Do you have a game plan?
I'm a very bubbly and energetic girl. English is my second language, Welsh is my first. Because of this, I'm not as articulate in English as I am in Welsh, so people tend to associate that with being dumb. Every time I mix with English speaking people, they tend to underestimate me. However, how I present myself on the outside, doesn't really represent what's going on inside. That’s something I feel like I can use in the castle to my advantage.
What did you think of the previous series?
I have different thoughts about both series. I thought everybody loved Mollie last year. She was lovely. There were a lot of arguments in the first series. I fear it's going to be the same in this series. So, I'm preparing myself for that.
Was there anyone’s game plan you admired?
Well, it depends on whether or not I'm a Faithful or a Traitor. If I’m a Traitor, I really like Amanda's approach in series one. She made one slip up, which is a shame, because that's the slip up that led to her being banished. But if she hadn’t done that, I genuinely think she would have reached the final. She embraced her background, where she came from. A grandmother and a mother, just a very ordinary person from South Wales, and no one suspected her. I'm from a very rural area. I'm not confident even speaking English, so I'd probably just embrace that further. Then, as a Faithful, I liked Andrew in series two. He was such an emotional man. I loved him. I'm pretty sure all he did was cry in the last episode and that would be me, as in, cry because I'm stressed, cry because I'm happy, crying because I'm sad. That's me!
Do you have a game plan?
Well, I’ll definitely see what it's like when I get there because I'm so convinced that there's going to be a big twist in this series. Everybody loves a twist. They love to catch people off guard. I'm preparing myself to have to change my game plan on the spot. However,
I’m going to embrace my innocent demeanour. Also, I’m a very flirty person. I flirt a lot. Depending on who's in there, if I see an opportunity where having some boys on my side would benefit me, I might do it.
Would you say you are competitive when you play games at home with your family and friends?
Very competitive, very strategic, I can be manipulative. All very useful traits for this game. That's why I applied honestly. I just remember seeing it on TV and thinking, oh, my God, this is right up my street.
Do you think you’ll be good at the Missions? What strengths do you think you might bring to them?
Again, it depends. Physically, I’ll be fine. I'm a sporty girl. I'm active. I do strength training. I think I'd be quite good in that aspect. I'm also very good at riddles and mind games. Not so good with things that involve insects, heights, and being buried alive!
If you are a Traitor, how do you think you'll feel?
A lot of adrenaline, it's what I want. The only way I'm looking at this game right now is from a Traitor's point of view, it's what I want.
Would you say you’ve got a good poker face?
I’m actually training to be an opera singer. I've been performing since I was a child. So, I’m used to putting on that mask and just getting in the zone. I’m not in the Royal Opera House in London, yet but that's the dream.
If you are a Traitor, how far are you prepared to go to win the game?
I'd like to think I will do whatever it takes. I'm so competitive and I want this so much. I really want that money. However, I wear my heart on my sleeve. I'm very emotional. I love people deeply. I don't know what kind of friendships or bonds I'm going to make in there. If I really love the people, it's going to be hard. Then again, they might be awful. So, it depends. To be honest, I’m intrigued either way.
If you're a Faithful, what do you think your game plan would be?
Slightly similar to being a Traitor, as in, I would still try and get nobody to suspect me. I’ll just try and make people like me.
How good are you at spotting a liar? Do you think you have a good read on people?
Yes. However, when I do fall in love with someone or form friendships with people, it’s as if I subconsciously just ignore red flags. I have no idea who I'm going to meet. But hopefully it will be good.
If you are a Faithful, what qualities do you think you're going to need to make it through to the final?
Apart from the fact that I do think in this game there's a lot of luck involved, I do think being likeable is important. It's not a popularity contest but, subconsciously, it is. Traitors are going to murder people they don't like. Faithful are going to banish people they don't like. I don't know how conscious they are of doing it, but I do think being popular is going to get you far. So, it is something I'm going to try and do. Despite it not being a popularity contest, I am going to have to try and get people to like me. Anything to just keep me around.
If you win the prize money, what do you think you'll spend it on?
I was recently diagnosed with stage four endometriosis, and it's really bad. I suffer every time I'm on my period, sometimes in-between cycles as well. However, since I've been diagnosed, I've been referred to an endometriosis specialist, and that waiting list is six to twelve months. Once I see that specialist, I will be on another three-year plus waiting list for surgery. It is a condition so under researched, underdeveloped and underfunded, despite one in ten women having the condition. It's so devastating I wish to honestly raise awareness and to have the money to fund my treatment privately.[1]
Gameplay[]
Elen was selected as a faithful on Day 1 by Claudia. She met and got along with Charlotte, both bonding over being from Wales (however, Charlotte was not actually Welsh and using the accent to seem trustworthy). She correctly remarked that because of the Male-dominated Traitors last year, it seemed logical that there would be strong, female traitors this year that were more likely to last. This attracted attention, and she was banished in Episode 2. She notably correctly voted for Linda both times at the round tables she was in, and guessed both Minah and Armani as Traitors at separate points too.
