1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: The Traitors premieres Sunday, thirteenth of August at seven thirty

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: on Channel ten, and in charge of them all is

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: Roger Corsa and joins us, Now, good morning, see.

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: You in the flesh. You got over here.

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 3: This is season two.

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: Yes?

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: Is it possible for the uninitiated to sum it up

8
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: in a it's a game of deceit.

9
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 4: Oh, it's deception, lies and betrayal at its best. We

10
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 4: have we have twenty people staying in our grand old hotel,

11
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 4: and at the very start of the game, I put

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 4: blindfolds on everyone. I walk around the table and I

13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 4: tap through them on the shoulders, and they are the Traitors,

14
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 4: anonymous to everyone. They don't tell anyone except later on

15
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 4: when they meet each other. And their job every night

16
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 4: is to murder one player from the game. They're all

17
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 4: staying at the hotel, so they decide who to murder.

18
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 4: They get a knock on the door at midnight and

19
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 4: they're gone. So that's how we lose some of the

20
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 4: players of the game. We dwindle down to win the

21
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 4: prize pot. But the faithful, the other people who aren't traders,

22
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 4: we call them faithful. They get an inquisition every night

23
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 4: and they get to do a round table and accuse

24
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 4: their fellow players who they think are the traders and

25
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 4: get to vote them out. And it's a bit of

26
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 4: a witch hunt. And they always get it wrong pretty

27
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 4: much because they're hopeless. I love them, but they get

28
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 4: it wrong and so but sometimes they get it right,

29
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 4: and that's a big moment when they vote out a

30
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 4: trader and get rid of them.

31
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 2: And look, you know, so we lose two players a game.

32
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 4: It dwindles down from twenty very quickly to down to

33
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 4: single figures and then the money because in between they're

34
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 4: running around doing these fantastic, huge sort of challenges to

35
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 4: win silver, to add the prize pot. And it's been

36
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 4: kind of when to take all you can split it

37
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 4: with someone. It depends on the scenario at the end

38
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 4: of the game. But yeah, when we get down to about

39
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 4: four or five six players, then it starts.

40
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 5: It gets a bit juicy there.

41
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: Season one. I think what always got me was breakfast

42
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 3: the next morning. Do you know what I'm saying?

43
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: People look at each other dead in the eye knowing,

44
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: you know, some of them knowing what's going on, there's

45
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: not and some of them really surprise you.

46
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 3: This year.

47
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: There are some more sort of celebrities involved as well.

48
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 4: Yes, am I right, career reality contestants, they made a

49
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 4: name themselves and several other shows, you know, ways.

50
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: From Survivor several Survivors. He's a great player. Look the difference.

51
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 4: Look in our first season we had all TV unknowns,

52
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 4: and also our game was a bit unknown to going

53
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 4: in there, so no one had really seen even previous versions.

54
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 4: Now since then, it's gone gangbusters around the world, in

55
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 4: the US and the UK. In fact, nour version is

56
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 4: now being played in the UK and they like it

57
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 4: even better than theirs.

58
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going.

59
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 4: It's currently playing on BBC and doing really really well

60
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 4: over there.

61
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: Yes, wonderfully.

62
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 4: So this time around, all the people would have seen

63
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 4: multiple versions of the show, so they know the show.

64
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 4: But then you add these people who have been in

65
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 4: that pressure cookers situation before and they bring the a

66
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 4: game straight.

67
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: From well, I can tell you I watch Below Deck Mediterranean.

68
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: I know Hannah Feria has dealt with some traitors on

69
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: board Russia exactly. No'm just the captain, so I you know,

70
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: that's that's interesting.

71
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 5: And some billionaire clients. What about Reunion of Sorts gotten.

72
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 4: Correctly yes, it is the sole kind of you know,

73
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 4: the one famous person who's not famous from you know,

74
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 4: a reality of influencer is my mate Gotten, and so

75
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 4: he came along Gotten obviously famous for being an underbelly

76
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 4: playing Carl Williams, and I played the copy who chased

77
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 4: him for thirteen episodes. Yeah, so it was great to

78
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 4: have him. In fact, look, he gets accused. I think

79
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 4: it's even the promos. I'm not giving it away that

80
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 4: he gets. You know, it's the obvious acquisition accusation from

81
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 4: from the from every Well, you're an actor, so obviously

82
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 4: you know you're you're you're very good at pretending in

83
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 4: the game, which he has to kind of, you know,

84
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 4: knock back very very early. But I tell you what,

85
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 4: it's the non actors that that are astonishing and how

86
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 4: well they look you in the eye and absolutely I

87
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 4: mean they sell their own grandmothers pretty much.

88
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely.

89
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: Now you know who the traders are, of course, because

90
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: you've tapped them on the shoulder, so you've got to

91
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: keep a straight face as well.

92
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, both, you know, with all so the audience and

93
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 4: myself and production, we all know it's only the players

94
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 4: that don't. And it's actually great because it's it's like

95
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 4: you know, and some people go, why do we know?

96
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 2: But it's like a horror movie, you know, when you know.

97
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 4: When you know the bad person in a horror movie

98
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 4: is out in the forest, but the people.

99
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: Go out and go for go for What are you going?

100
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 4: That's kind of like what happens in our show because

101
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 4: you're pulling your hair again. Don't do that, You're getting

102
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 4: sucked in. This person's telling you lies and you see

103
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 4: it all fold. It's a beautiful car crash that you

104
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 4: can't look away from. So yes, there are there are

105
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 4: There are lots of twists and turns this year.

106
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 5: Absolutely we'll going by the promos that you mentioned. The

107
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 5: promos you it seems as are you're in character, are

108
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 5: you in charactered the whole show or you.

109
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,679
Speaker 2: Just yeah, I am buggy and on a little.

110
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: RITI.

111
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 5: British are loving it.

112
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: So yes, we were kind of given cart blanche by

113
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 4: by production to kind of do what we want and

114
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 4: so to sort of make the gags work. We kind

115
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 4: of last last year so that it came to it.

116
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 4: Maybe it's my kind of grand old manner power passed

117
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 4: down from the family and then we just sort of

118
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 4: ran with that, and you know, we actually had to

119
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 4: add a butler character this year, one of the guys

120
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 4: from production. So he's running around being hilarious and silly

121
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 4: and you got to have a butler, it's thing.

122
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 2: But he goes and does my.

123
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 4: So we just have a lot of fun and what

124
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 4: what we like to do.

125
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: I take the mickey out of the contestants.

126
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 4: We don't take it super serious like some other shows

127
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 4: like So we Go. It's a reality show. We're here

128
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 4: for some loop, We're here for some fun. We want

129
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 4: it to be entertaining. H They get serious when they

130
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 4: you know, there's there's some disagreements.

131
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: We get a big, large demographic of people.

132
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 4: Some of them don't get on, but the majority do

133
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 4: and they have a great time and have an absolute laugh.

134
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 4: And they don't mind the tongue in cheek sort of

135
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 4: tone that I take with them and sort of scold

136
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 4: them and tell them often make fun of them.

137
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 3: I think atmosphere is everything on a show like this.

138
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: I believe the American One films in Scotland Borough.

139
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 2: They both feel the same. They both castle.

140
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: Can you tell us anything about where you shot this

141
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: or is it a huge secret?

142
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: No? No, I think I think the hotel. I love

143
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: to come and visit them.

144
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 4: We're in South Wales Highlands, just outside of Barrel, in

145
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 4: a town called Robertson, famous for the Big Potato.

146
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 5: Okay, so now the big.

147
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 4: And they're going to the potato and then you go,

148
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 4: are you going to stay at the Robertson Hotel?

149
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 5: The Big Bradman? Of course? Ticket off the listen. Yeah,

150
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 5: I love that it is an Australian group together. Do

151
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 5: you ever chip everyone for saying traders because it would

152
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 5: come out first day, wouldn't well all the way through?

153
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: Yeah?

154
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 4: Well, we did have one contestant last year. He was

155
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 4: he was he was a bit much, but he would

156
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 4: say trade tours like that. Yeah, we like, we just

157
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 4: like to suffer us a little bit, buging it a

158
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 4: bit too it.

159
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's a few there that say traders. Yeah.

160
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

161
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: Was the guy that I expected to win last year,

162
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: wasn't he a he would negotiate with hostage takers or that?

163
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: That he was? That was Nigel.

164
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 4: It was Australia's longest serving captive I think it was

165
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 4: Somalia four hundred days or.

166
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 2: Something like that.

167
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 4: He was in captivity and eventually the family paid a

168
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 4: ransom and got out and now he works in that field.

169
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 4: But he kept that quiet, obviously, and we have some

170
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 4: people this year that keep their profession quiet.

171
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: Yes, exteite he did, Yeah, things like that.

172
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 3: So and then he was pipped at the post by

173
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 3: a model.

174
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: So there is you do not before you're just it's

175
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: all very interesting.

176
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 3: Is it a grueling filming schedule?

177
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: I know some of those banishments, I feel like they're

178
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: going for a while.

179
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't see all of it. Look in the

180
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 4: first year, it took a little while to warm up

181
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:16,559
Speaker 4: in those and they got going.

182
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: As I said, this stuff kicks off from the top.

183
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, everyone is quite free with their accusations and you know,

184
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 4: throwing things around around the home.

185
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: It gets quite heated in a good sort of fun way.

186
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's those they can take.

187
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,239
Speaker 4: They can take a bit more like an hour, yeah,

188
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 4: under the hot lights and like a math's dinner party.

189
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, less red wine.

190
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 5: When you're switching partners.

191
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and a bit smarter, yeah, I like to think.

192
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 5: So we like it. The other shows, Well, we're glad

193
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 5: that you have your craper. It's a bit of tongue

194
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 5: in cheek, not like ant from that show you don't like.

195
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 5: I'd say it's a very different tone.

196
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 4: They know, they know we're there for fun, so if

197
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 4: I sort of you know, they fail at one of

198
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 4: these huge challenges we do. These great outdoor challenges are

199
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 4: all themed and a lot of fun, but sometimes they

200
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 4: stuff it right up. So you know, I'll come into

201
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 4: the banishment and going, you guys are freaking hopeless.

202
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: You know, the worst contestants I've ever.

203
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 4: Ever seen, and so you know we're not just here

204
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,240

00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: You know you're going to start playing.

207
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 4: It's even Yeah, well, because we all know the elephant

208
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 4: there have a lot of people join these type of

209
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,640
