The Traitors Uncloaked | Preview (BBC Two)

Ed Gamble returns to the official Traitors visualised podcast, unpacking the drama, deception, and betrayal in the ultimate reality game of trust and treachery!

Each episode is packed full of exclusive interviews with the latest banished and murdered players as they come face-to-face with the truth about the Traitors for the very first time, featuring bonus unseen footage and insider secrets that can't be found anywhere else.

The Traitors, made by Studio Lambert Scotland, is an intense psychological game in which players must decide who they can trust. In each episode, the players work together to complete spectacular physical and mental missions.

If they are successful, they add money to a prize pot, which is worth up to £120,000. But to win the prize pot, players must survive to the end of the game – they must avoid being ‘murdered’ or ‘banished’.

At the start of the game, a small number of players are secretly selected by Claudia to be The Traitors. The rest of the players are known as ‘The Faithful’ and none of The Faithful know who The Traitors are.

Players are eliminated in one of two ways; each night, The Traitors meet in secret and decide to ‘murder’ one of The Faithful and next morning when the group meet for breakfast the ‘murdered’ player does not appear.

Then, later in the day, all the players meet at the ‘Round Table’ and decide to ‘banish’ a player they suspect of being a Traitor. Whomever they pick will then reveal if they are indeed a Traitor or a Faithful.

At the end of the game, the few remaining players will share the prize pot if they are all Faithful, but if there is still a Traitor among them, the Traitor takes all the prize money.

The Traitors Uncloaked returns Wednesday 1st January at 9pm on BBC Two.
