"I really need people to be loyal to me but I am not intending on being loyal to them," she explained. "The reason a game like this is so hard is because you need to be switched on 24 hours a day and always thinking about conversations you're having," Kate continued. Though her background in photography has given her plenty of insight into people's behavior, she hopes paranoia won't creep in and cloud her judgement.

The legal professional also wasn't sure how much he'd want to reveal to his fellow players, weighing up keeping his cards close to his chest. "I'm struggling to see how that would benefit me.
