The new season of The Traitors US is underway, and many reality TV stars are battling for a share of a $250,000 prize.
Three episodes were dropped on premiere night, giving fans a taste of what’s to come.
Now, host Alan Cumming has offered an additional taste, and he is teasing that the show gets even more dramatic.
During Episode 2, several surprise players were added to the Traitors 3 cast, with folks from Survivor, Big Brother, and The Challenge appearing in the forest.
There are also rumors that familiar faces will show up at the Scottish castle later this season to help produce more drama and intrigue.
Can this third season top the first two seasons of the reality competition series? Alan Cumming sure thinks so.
‘Intense and brutal’ moments ahead on The Traitors 3
“The ending to this one [The Traitors Season 3] is not like anything we’ve seen in the previous two seasons,” host Alan Cumming stated in a new interview.
“There’s bits in it that are so intense and brutal,” he added, revealing how dramatic the season will become.
With so many big personalities in one place and everyone trying to reach that ego boost and cash prize, drama is always on the horizon.
But Alan also stated that a Roundtable got so intense that he thought a physical altercation was about to happen.
“I’ve said this before, but I actually thought I was going to have to break up a fight at roundtable one time. It was really terrifying. I don’t break up many fights,” Alan elaborated in his interview.
Imagining Alan trying to break up a fight is an interesting thought, but it sounds like some people in his castle took this game too seriously.
So how will the ending to The Traitors 3 differ from past seasons? That’s a good question because of the dramatic finishes in the first two seasons.
Traitor Cirie Fields stole the money from Quentin Jiles and Andie Vanacore in the first season. The Survivor legend caught everyone off-guard with her deceitful strategy.
The second season saw Chris “CT” Tamburello and Trishelle Cannatella turn on Mercedes “MJ” Javid to steal the money from her. It left MJ and viewers in shock.
Topping the first two seasons would seem difficult, but Alan says something unique is coming.
“I love the fact of how each season is so different to the one before, even though, structurally, it has a similarity,” Alan added.
