If you’ve never watched the OG series, a group of people are sent to a remote Scottish castle, where they’re secretly split into Faithful and Traitors as they all compete in challenges to add money to a prize pot. In The Celebrity Traitors, the celebs are playing for charity, with a potential £100,000 up for grabs.
Each night, the Traitors “murder” the Faithful (by way of a signed note – there’s nothing illegal involved). In their attempt to stop them, the Faithful can collectively vote someone out each night at the Round Table. Just imagine a stupidly tense family dinner where, at the end, you ask your least favourite relative to leave and never come back. But more tense.
No one knows who belongs to which group – they only have the word of each contestant – so at the Round Tables, they must use guesswork, clues, “evidence” and usually high levels of unearned confidence to decide if the person they’re banishing is really a Traitor. Or not. One by one, the contestants are either murdered at night or banished at the Round Table until the final.
Whoever is left by the end of the final Round Table splits the money. However, if there are any Traitors left in the castle at the end of the game, they pocket all the money – and the Faithful leave with nothing. Apart from major trust issues, obviously.
Throw in epic challenges where both Faithful and Traitors work alongside each other to add money to the prize pot. There are also Shields that protect the wearer from Banishment. Expect big twists, revelations and more tactics on show than when Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim played with his little magnetic board in the dugout at Grimsby.
Just, for the love of God, if you’re a Traitor, don’t look up when Claudia says “Traitors!” like she’s calling the school register. It’s a real giveaway… Linda.
