TV enthusiasts are currently fixated on the show “Traitors,” where participants must adhere to ten strict regulations to avoid elimination, regardless of their allegiance as Traitors or Faithful. Hosted by former Strictly presenter Claudia Winkleman, the series, which premiered in 2022, is hailed as a captivating lesson in deceit.
The stringent rules, both on and off-screen, that contestants must abide by are outlined in the contracts they sign, encompassing their stay at Ardross Castle in the Highlands and the period leading up to the show’s broadcast to prevent spoilers.
The regulations include a prohibition on time-telling, with no clocks provided, leaving contestants reliant on producers for scheduling. Mobile phones and laptops are strictly banned to prevent outside communication. Contestants are not allowed to interact off-camera and must seek permission from security to leave their lodgings.
The secrecy extends to contestants’ accommodations, with participants kept unaware of their exact location. Traitors are bound by an oath to conceal their identities from fellow Traitors. Additionally, strict NDAs are enforced to safeguard show secrets until broadcast.
Personality tests are conducted on potential contestants to ensure a diverse mix of personalities in the final lineup. Contestants are not permitted to spend the night at Ardross Castle, being transported to private lodgings after filming to maintain suspense. Alcohol consumption is limited, and contestants are rationed to prevent excessive drinking.
The show airs on BBC One and iPlayer, inviting viewers to unravel the mystery with each episode. Follow Mirror Celebs on various platforms for more updates.
