How YOU can get on the Traitors
The Sun’s investigation into the gruelling process has revealed just what it takes to convince TV execs who deserves to wear the cloak of betrayal
TL;DR
- The application process for The Traitors is a lengthy, military-style search for suitable contestants.
- Producers seek genuine fans of the show who want to play the game, not just gain fame.
- A "pub test" assesses likability, with producers looking for authentic, rootable individuals.
- The audition includes intense questioning about past lies, secrets, and decision-making (head vs. heart).
- Deception during the audition, like faking an injury, can impress producers.
- Medical and psychological checks are thorough, akin to a full-body scan, assessing physical and mental health.
- Contestants must be prepared for the psychological pressure of the game and potential recruitment as a Traitor.
- Social media presence is scrutinized, but unconventional online content has not been a barrier.
- Secrecy is paramount; discussing the application process online can disqualify candidates.
- Producers aim to understand both the authentic self and the projected game persona of applicants.
