Hello to everyone still mentally / physically recovering from last night's episode of The Traitors. The time has come to discuss Carolyn's recent accusation of TREACHERY in the Traitors turret. By which we mean her claim that Danielle broke the rules and told Britney that she's a Traitor.
According to executive producer Mike Cotton, nope! Not so much.
"I find that theory mad, if I’m honest," Mike told Variety, confirming that "We listen to absolutely everything that happens in the castle. We’re with them 24/7, they’re either filming or in their rooms. There was never a moment where any of us ever heard Danielle reveal to Britney or whoever else that she was a Traitor. Also, that would be an absolutely crazy move, because you’re then out of the game, essentially. I can’t see any reason why anyone would actually ever do that."
Obviously, this begs the question...do the Traitors have to sign NDAs? And what, exactly, is keeping them from not revealing their true selves to those closest to them?
According to Mike, the Traitors "sign a lot of paperwork" and "sign their own oath and agreement with us. There’s lots of things like that, but there was never a moment that we heard when anyone revealed their identity and honestly, it wouldn’t make any sense."
Another rule? The Traitors can't reveal the other Traitors' identity when they leave the roundtable. Per Mike "Once they reveal their identity, when they have their passing words, they are not allowed to reveal their fellow Traitors’ identities."
Understood!
