Banished Player Exit Interview | The Traitors US Season 3 Ep 9 Welcome to RHAP's coverage of ALL the Traitors iterations from around the world, including New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. The Traitors US is a high-stakes reality competition set in a secluded castle, where contestants must work together to complete challenges and earn a prize pot—while rooting out the secret traitors hidden among them. Today, Rob Cesternino and Pooya chat with the most recently banished player of The Traitors US Season 3. Rob Cesternino and Pooya host an exit interview with Carolyn Wiger, the latest banished contestant from Traders. Carolyn opens up about her experiences, the emotional toll of the game, and her interactions with fellow contestants. Carolyn shares her thoughts on the intense dynamics at the round table, where she faced off against Danielle. Despite her initial confidence in allies like Dylan, Carolyn found herself navigating a complex web of alliances and betrayals. She candidly discusses the emotional impact of social media criticism, emphasizing the importance of empathy and understanding in the face of online negativity. A key moment in the interview is Carolyn's reflection on her impulsive decision-making during the game. She admits to reacting emotionally, particularly during the round table discussions, where she felt triggered by the treatment of fellow contestant Tom. This emotional response, she explains, was driven by her own experiences of feeling dismissed and misunderstood. Carolyn also touches on her missed opportunity to collaborate with Rob, revealing that preconceived notions and fear of being a "zero-vote finalist" influenced her decisions. Despite these challenges, Carolyn remains proud of her authentic gameplay and the connections she formed. Rob, Pooya, and Carolyn discuss: - Carolyn's alliance with Danielle and Dylan, and the subsequent betrayal - Emotional reactions at the round table, particularly towards Tom's treatment - The "dumb coffin theory" and Sandra's advice to stay quiet - Missed opportunity to work with Rob due to preconceived notions - Carolyn's struggle with social media criticism and her commitment to authenticity Listen to the full episode for a deeper dive into Carolyn's experiences and insights.
