After its release, “The Traitors” completely captivated the television world.
Take a closer look at what cameras don’t show you on “The Traitors.”
And every contestant who’s there was deliberately chosen by Katz and her team.
“It started out with trying to think of the best in game players.
“All of the contestants that take part in our show, we’ve done personality tests on them.
“The Traitors” fans will recall that each episode includes a challenge, too.
The challenges test a range of skills, and some of them can be intense.
Each night after a challenge, contestants return to the castle and many seem to partake.
“The Traitors” isn’t the only reality series that has had an alcoholic drink limit.
“So it’s definitely one drink in the night and you have to order it in the afternoon.
The castle has plenty of history.
Construction on the building started in 1847, and it took around 400 people to complete the work.
The cast doesn’t sleep at the castle.
“I stayed in a little house in Inverness.
But I had a room in the castle where I would get made up and dressed.
It had a huge bed in it.
So I did actually sleep quite often, but not overnight,” Cumming said.
Because the traitors had to do their thing after the whole day was finished.”
Contestants do crave sleep, though.
You don’t want to speak to anyone for another 12 hours!”
former contestant Meryl Williams told Betaway, as reported byYahoo!.
“We mainly like to film an episode a day, which is quite a big undertaking.
Contestants are also surrounded by what looks like an incredible breakfast spread.
However, some contestants have said it’s not quite as good as it looks.
Others, though, didn’t have anything bad to say about the food.
Arie Luyendyk, for example, ate quite a bit because he was just happy to be at breakfast.
Food hasn’t been the most pressing issue for production, though.
Each breakfast scene has had quite a bit of logistics behind it.
As former contestant Cirie Fields toldE!
News, the cast was only given an estimate.
“We knew that there could potentially be three to five Traitors in the game.
That was explained to us from the very beginning,” Fields said.
And as audiences can attest to, that number can change based on the course the game takes.
And how exactly have Traitors been chosen?
That has depended on timing.
For Cumming, one element has stood out when it comes to choosing Traitors.
“There’s got to be drama,” he toldVulture.
“What is good telly and what is a good game?
Most often, they coincide.”
“At least with ‘Selling Sunset,’ you get to sit in a chair and have glam.”
Stause shouldn’t feel too slighted, though.
Cumming did get some help with accessorizing, though.
Despite the support, some contestants wouldn’t suggest others go on the show.
“It’s not that much … but it’s definitely worth it.”
And those who didn’t win can use the show to garner other opportunities.
In many ways, they still got paid even if they didn’t win.
