"There's a lot of backstabbing; it's sort of backstabbing through utter insecurity and fear," the Traitors host completely informed Distractify. "Every night they have to turn on each other because there's a banishment every night at the roundtable. And that was my favorite part because you just saw people crumble. My favorite part is when people say, 'I can't believe you lied to me.' It's called The Traitors, b--ch. Sorry."
