The Traitors (also known as The Traitors Australia outside of Australia) is an Australian reality television series broadcast on Network 10, based on the Dutch series De Verraders, which premiered on 16 October 2022.[1][2]

Following the premise of other versions of De Verraders, the show features a group of contestants participating in a game similar to the party game Mafia as they stay in a historic luxury hotel. During their stay, small group of contestants become the titular "Traitors," and must work together to eliminate the others contestants order to win a grand prize, while the remaining contestants become "Faithful" and are tasked to discover and banish the Traitors by voting them out, in order to win the grand prize.

The first season aired in late 2022. Although the series is not formally renewed at the time, the casting application opened for a potential second season in early 2023.[3][4] On 28 April 2023, the show was officially announced for renewal for a second season.[5] On the 30 April 2023, it was confirmed that the second season would include both civilian and celebrity contestants.[6] The series was distributed internationally by All3Media International and Endemol Shine International.[7]

Format

A group of contestants arrive at a historic luxury hotel in the Southern Highlands as "Faithful" contestants – hoping to share a prize fund worth up to A$250,000.[8] Amongst them are the "Traitors" – a group of four contestants selected by host Rodger Corser on the first day, whose goal is to eliminate the Faithfuls and claim the prize for themselves.[9] Should the Faithful contestants eliminate all the Traitors, they will share the prize fund. If a Traitor makes it to the end, they steal the money.

Each night, the Traitors come together and decide upon one Faithful contestant to "murder" – and that person will leave the game immediately. The remaining Faithful contestants will not know who has been eliminated until the following day when they will not arrive for breakfast. The group then take part in a mission to win money for the prize fund (awarded in the form silver bars), in some episodes, also participate in a Shield challenge to win individual player immunity from elimination (both from Murder & Banishment).

At the end of each day, the group will participate in the Banishment Ceremony - where the players discuss who to vote out before individually voting for a player to banish. Players cast their votes privately before revealing their vote in turn to everyone. The person obtaining the most votes is banished from the game and must reveal their affiliation. In the event of a tied vote, a run-off vote takes place between those tied with the highest vote tallies.

At the end of the game, the remaining players participate in the Endgame. The players are given a choice to "Banish" or "End Game". A majority End Game vote would conclude the game, while a majority vote to Banish would result in another Banishment Vote. This process of voting “Banish” or “End Game" continues until the players have voted to conclude the game or if two players remain. If any Traitors remain when the game ends, they will steal the entire pot. If the game ends with two players of the same identity, then the Final two participate in a Prisoner's dilemma to determine the winner or winners of the game and the prize.

Occasionally, twists will impact how the game is played - most notably with Traitors being given opportunities to recruit new Traitors among Faithful players.

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 Following this Banishment, the remaining Traitors were given the opportunity to invite one Faithful to become a Traitor. Should they accept, they would switch allegiances immediately and become a Traitor.
  2. ↑ Following Angus' banishment, the remaining Traitors were told they would not be able to murder a Faithful that evening - instead, they had to pick three contestants who would participate in special triple or nothing Silver Bar challenge the following day. They chose Lewis & Mark to accompany Nigel in a roulette challenge, where they won an extra $40,000 for the prize fund.
  3. ↑ Following Marielle's Banishment, the remaining Traitors were allowed to put three of the remaining contestants on "Death Row" - marking them as the only people who could be Murdered next. They chose Craig, Kate and Paul.
  4. ↑ Following Lewis' Banishment, the Final 3 participated in the Endgame and were given a choice to either Vote or Share - The Vote option would result in another Banishment Vote, while the Share would either - 1) declare all remaining Traitors as winners, or 2) Should there be no Traitors remaining, declare all remaining players as Winning Faithfuls. In either outcome, the prize would be shared among the winners.
  5. ↑ 5.0 5.1 As the Traitor who survived to the end of the game, Alex was declared the winner.
  6. ↑ 6.0 6.1 This contestant was only able to vote to banish one other contestant, thus they were not eligible to vote.
