Jack Rodgers is a contestant from The Traitors (Australia)/Season 1.
Jack entered the game proclaiming himself to be a master strategist and manipulator. He was quickly singled out by many for his odd behaviour, including staring uncomfortably at others. His undoing came when fellow contestant Olivia Fisher claimed he had asked her who "they (were) Murdering tonight" while returning from a Mission, and most of his castmates opted to vote him out on the chance he was a Traitor who slipped up.

Retrieved from 10 play:
A champion chess player, Jack is all about strategy and thinking moves ahead of competitors, a plan he’s hoping to put into place in the game of The Traitors.
Jack believes he should have an advantage over some of the other players, as he gets into people’s minds every day, reading body language as a chess player and chess coach. He also grew up representing at state level for different sports so Jack hopes his physical side will also work to his advantage.
Jack says: “I don’t like lying in my everyday life but it’s the type of game where you leave your morals and ethics at the door”.
While he has a photographic memory for remembering blocks of information, Jack jokes he’s also “exceptional at forgetting where my keys, phone and wallet are.” He’s excited for the challenge of what’s ahead saying: “This game is a big combination of everything. With my background, I think it would be near impossible for other contestants to have the same level of strategic understanding as me but at the same time, I believe it’s really important to be well rounded socially and in the challenges. I have to be competitive because this all drives back to my strategic game”.[1]
