The casting process for the third season of The Traitors has taken an unexpected turn. As potential contestants eagerly awaited the chance to compete on the hit BBC reality show, producers discovered a plot brewing among them. It seems some wannabe stars were already strategizing and forming alliances before even being officially cast.
The show, which first premiered in 2022 with Claudia Winkleman as the host, has gained a loyal following. In the most recent season, British army engineer Harry Clark emerged as the winner, taking home a whopping £95,150 after successfully deceiving others into thinking he was a Faithful rather than a Traitor.
But it seems the allure of the £120,000 jackpot was too much for some applicants to resist. According to reports, the potential Traitors and Faithfuls were communicating on social media, using code words and planning to split the prize money if they were chosen as Traitors. Some even had fake arguments planned to gain more airtime and boost their fame.
Unfortunately for them, their plans were discovered by the show's producers. One contestant spilled the beans to Studio Lambert, prompting further investigations. It was soon revealed that some of the plotters had already revealed personal information during their auditions, making it easy for casting to identify and eliminate them from the process.
Executive producer Mike Cotton expressed disappointment in the contestants' actions, stating that they were looking for genuine players with a passion for the game, rather than those seeking fame. He also emphasized the importance of diversity in the casting process, seeking individuals from various backgrounds and walks of life.
The number of applications for the third season of The Traitors was staggering, with over 250,000 people vying for a chance to compete. However, those involved in the conspiracy have now lost their chance to appear on the show.
In the end, the plotters were informed that their actions risked the integrity of the show and were promptly cut from the process. The Agency has reached out to the BBC for comment on the matter.
The Traitors continues to stream on BBC iPlayer, entertaining audiences with its thrilling and deceitful gameplay. And while the show may have uncovered a conspiracy among some of its applicants, it remains a popular and highly anticipated series. So if you're a fan, be sure to tune in and see who will emerge victorious in the next season.
