wait, what? they get pulled from the bed at 3 a.m. and... then have to drive somewhere at 5 a.m.?! did Noel simply misspoke about the 3 a.m.? even 5 a.m. is nuts. I imagine for the traitors it's even less rest time. that's torture.

I wish there would be more talk about the daily routines of the players, like the hotel room environment that Mark mentioned. are there more upcoming interviews and if so - where can I ask such questions?

Totally did a double take near the end there. Yep, still hoping Noel wins... somehow, but I liked how he kept surviving roundtables against the odds! Good interview! And several of my favourites have been recommissioned. This is all because I laughed that one time David said he'd watched over 100 Survivor series!

Camille is speaking about how much easier it would’ve been to have celebrities because you know their personalities is irrelevant in her case. She constantly spoke about her career as a Federal Agent, that this game should have been easier for her. She was employed studying human behavior, she understood prey vs predator. She doesn’t know human behavior as well as she portrayed.

Sam, the traitor, SWORE TO GOD, he is no traitor. People learn to lie on this show. Is the world not dishonest enough already? How devious and godless do players of this show become? They are playing this murderous money-oriented game also in church. Didn't Jesus throw money-oriented people out of the temple? The moderator is holding the cross in his hands to motivate people in this lying game. Some might say, well it is just a game. Even in a game, you don't swear to God that you don't lie if you do lie. You don't wrestle for money in a religious building. The worlds knows no morals and then they are surprised if God walks away by having enough of them.

The fact that a man like this received 23 votes is baffling.

🎉

Mark made this season great, what a guy. I get why people think him rejecting was a bad move but it was an iconic exit and when i look back probably the most memorable moment of the season for me, made for great tv

Great interview! Mark is hilarious and was a great player!

This was my most anticipated interview and it was so much fun. Great job as always, Matthew! Mark will always be one of my favourite contestants in the franchise. I must admit that I'm a bit heartbroken about him not being back for an all stars season, but hopefully he will be back in a different role, as you suggested. Finally, the fact that he recommended ACOTAR by Sarah J. Maas, iconic, and how good was he at the Traidar game? As you can tell, I'm such a fan. 😂 All my best to both of you 😊

Great interview, Jane was such a fun contestant on this season. Was gutted she when she went out but glad she gave us the chance to see Bailey as a traitor. Also, so happy I guessed the lie was the 18 months thing 😂

I loved this interview. Jane was one of my faves!!!

So happy.I found you guys!!

Mike was a fantastic traitor! Great interview.

The whole "leave in silence" in the finale rather than reveal your role is used in Norway and iirc at least one other franchise. I'm not a fan as I feel it overpowers the Traitors who already have an advantage. Regardless of who wins any of those seasons, so its not a spoiler specific dislike!

Aotearoa is the Māori name for New Zealand. Oh, and Pia was known as the smiling assassin before Feras. Finally, I have had fun following the Traidar this season, as I always do. Thank you both.

I loved my weekly tradition of watching the episodes and then listening to you two. It was one of my favourite seasos and I can't wait for more! See ya ❤

If i had to sum up these episodes it would be "all the traitors make multiple errors". Noel for the win hopefully!

Congratulations on the film!!!

Dutch Traitors does an internet miniseries spinoff each Halloween where they play up the horror: more snakes (eek), the host plays it like a horror villain and the murders have their own cut scenes with a scythe. Its very OTT and hilarious....from the one of them I've seen.

Why the hell didn't Ben tell everyone he had the shield??

I just finished 9 and 10 and came straight here to listen lol, but I forgot I live in New Zealand so I probably get to watch it before the rest of the country, I soooo wanna be in the game lol how do I apply

Hey y'all! Huge congrats on passing 400 subs! Youre definitely the best Traitors coverage out there! Y'all deserve to grow far beyond where you are. Have you considered offering a video version of the podcast? And, if that isn't feasible, perhaps showing slides of the episode, or -far easier and less time consiming, of course - even just a graphic of the contestants to make things easier to follow, especially early in the season when we haven't properly met and come to know everyone. (I've frequently tracked down photos on my phone to remind me of who y'all are referencing early on). In any case, just thoughts that came to mind as to how you might gain the viewership you deserve here on YT. I'll be here no matter what 🙂. Thanks for the terrific coverage, guys!

I liked Marks move primarily because I never saw it coming. At the very start he said he was more interested in the game theory than the money hence his grinning at roundtables and strategizing at wrong times (and as a fan of the show he was self aware that people like him don't win). I suspect he saw the blackmail coming and so decided the more fun exit was in posthumously getting rid of a Traitor. Not the move I'd have made but fun to see other people try it as it's not my money. Tldr: despite being strategy minded, Michael has a soft spot for traitors oddball plays, being a nutter himself! 😂

If someone rejects blackmail they keep going till someone accepts it. At least one absolute bloodbath episode out there in the franchise.

As soon as I heard there was another clairvoyant, I groaned. At least this time it went *slightly* differently. I love Mark, Brie drove me insane, but mostly what I really like about this season? Quiet off radar players? We actually get confessionals to hear their strategy so we know one of them, for example, is trying to befriend the Traitor they've uncovered, or another is keeping cards close to their chest. Comparing it to poor Sandra, who wasn't dramatic enough for US2 so all of her gameplay seemingly got left on the cutting room floor.

It's very much why I like the kiwi one and the Aussie one. None of this keeping up appearances. You have real people being real people for the most part. I liked the British one also. Of course they still actively deceive and create somewhat of a persona for the game but still everything feels a lot more real.

CHURRYYY I LOVE TRAITORS NZ ! i just found yous and keen for your next podcast! WHAT ABOUT LASTNIGHT THO!! hoh

Two Traitors shared the win in season 1 of the French version. One was traitorous from the start, and the other recruited after the second episode. Regarding NZ, I get why people think Mark is a bad Faithful, but how on earth are they not seeing that, if he were a Traitor, his behavior would mark him (ha! unintentional pun) as one of the worst ever?

I’m addicted to the traitors NZ - thrilled to find this podcast!!

I’m surprised that throwing fellow traitors under the bus this soon has become a go-to tactic for the traitors: there’s no obvious merit in that at all, except a bullshit hope (myth) that going for a traitor “proves” you’re not one. it rarely works and if anyone can pull that off it’s someone as audacious as Sam. Mike absolutely didn’t need to get rid of Whitney, but did and in doing so looked more like Dan than Sam. Mike was totally unprepared to how his body would react to Whitney’s banishment - he looked devastated and guilty right away, it’s amazing how no one picked that. also, his whole demeanour changed from meek to mean and now he looks like a total psycho bully, ready to attack anyone at any time with his scripted robotic digs. it just keeps fascinating me what Traitors can do to a person’s psyche and behaviour. also, it’s enchanting how players like Cat or Donna don’t even begin to realise that the majority of people watching the show will be rooting for Mark and considering them, not Mark, as absolutely obnoxious. again, this show can do that to you…

I’ve watched UK 1&2, Australia 1&2 and US 1&2, finally got around to watching New Zealand season 1. I really enjoyed it, especially as the faithfuls were on it from the beginning. What I’m not quite clear of is if they figured out the numbers themselves or if production had a hand. From my impression it seemed like they knew the rules and figured it out themselves, counting the number of chairs etc to deduce what had happened the night before. It rests on assuming there are 3 traitors at the beginning and being correct about it

also, Andrew is a prime example that the “guardian angel” strategy is a bad one: Australia’s Annabel and Luke and US Peter have tried and failed - as soon as you start double-playing the game you inevitably expose yourself as someone cunning and suspicious - partly it’s because your safeguard is off because you think “well, I’m not a traitor so I have nothing to worry about”, you stop worrying you might get caught and end up looking like an extreme version of a traitor. sorry for triple-posting!

if you thought that Australia’s season 2 or US season 2 players were the dumbest, think again - Andrew (“honest and authentic”!) confessed that he was willing to weasel his way by playing along the traitors and half of the players still voted Noel and then regretted Andrew was gone. it just blows my mind how this show totally screws with people’s heads.

did anyone get the vibe from the digging scene that Andrew was Armie Hammer and Noel was Timothee Chalamet who were about to call me by your name in front of Brie and cameras?

Just to quickly say - you're actually way ahead of me on The Traitors for once (I'm having a small rest) but I'll listen to this when I catch up with NZ - shouldn't be too long as I loved season 1. Best, Michael.

Zippo

So nice to have you back! But disappointed there was no mention of two people (or one person making the same observation twice) declaring that Whitney was a possible traitor because she's a funeral director and therefore comfortable with death. So very silly.

Kiwi here they're celebrities now😂😂😂our population is about 5 million to put everything into perspective

Huzzah lovely to hear you two again 😀

Loved it when the marshal cried

I knew Camille would scupper Sam. 👏Did they ever find out what she used to do for a living?🤣

Even though it's a game, I like this particular flavour of saltiness, it adds drama to the reunion. If the other players said they had clocked Phaedra before Dan's parting gift, I would have said fair enough,. All the players said they didn't suspect Phaedra until this point. I would have preferred to see the faithfuls work it out for themselves. if Dan was 10 steps ahead, he would have realised going for Phaedra wasn't going to work, survived at least 1 more day and had to think of a new strategy. Even Kate managed to get to the endgame somehow when it seemed as though her fate was set.

When it comes to this mix of players, even with a normal cast such as the UK, you will have players who are absolutely clueless with no strategy. Australia is also a good example. I wouldn’t go too hard on the reality TV stars and their lack of gameplay. the 2 gamer traitors were out before Phaedra. If everyone knew how to play the game, the show wouldn’t work.

I was hoping Trishelle wouldn’t make it to the end. She was a key figure in Peter’s Pals, it was her idea to go for Phaedra before Parvati. She was wrong and strong as well as being correct about the traitors. Would she have figured out Phaedra without Dan’s almost parting gift? I doubt it. I prefer seeing a faithful befriend a traitor only to reveal that they have them figured out, like Jaz almost pulled off if Molly had been switched on. Kate’s final murder was essentially picking the winner

Blake, I felt so bad that you got nothing. Just finished watching in the states.

I thought both the lads' reactions to the ending were insane. They thought they could railroad Camille, she didn't fall for it and they (deservedly) got nothing. Thought Blake's tears were absolutely pathetic - just smacks of childish entitlement.

The Traitors is a About lying, if you lying about any think, it make you automaticly a potencial traitor.

Any way, who decide to give the shilde protection to Sam??

You really wanted very bad that money and ended up losing yourself in the game. At the end of the show, you had several opportunities to eliminate Sam. Before Liam was eliminated, he clearly identified the traitors, and Sarah was uncertain between Liam and Sam. Well played, because you played Sam.
