Skepticamp 2025 — Talk 01 — Suspicious Minds: The Predictable Irrationality of The Traitors — Jim Cliff
This audio is a part of the Skepticamp 2025, that happened in front of a live audience on October 24th 2025 in Mercure Piccadilly Hotel, Manchester and was live streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/sitp/
About the talk:
With stressful competition and very little actual evidence to go on, TV smash hit The Traitors is a masterclass of flawed reasoning and leaps of logic. In this talk, Jim will look at some of the shakiest arguments contestants across the world rely on when hunting traitors, to see if we can learn from their mistakes.
About the speaker:
Jim is one of the hosts of the Fallacious Trump podcast, where he and co-host Mark Levermore explain logical fallacies using examples from Trump (as well as pop culture and UK politics)
