About this episode
Danielle Reyes Final Traitors Interview 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 sit down with Danielle to dive deep into her strategic gameplay, relationships with other players, and how she adapted her famous "human lie detector" skills for a new format. Danielle offers candid insights into her Traitors strategy, including her controversial decision to swear on her grandkids as a bluffing tactic. She breaks down her choice to play a more nervous, emotional character to throw off suspicion, as well as her complex relationship with fellow Big Brother alum Britney. Danielle also shares a clever code word strategy she used to secretly communicate her Traitor status to her husband back home. Rob, Pooya, and Danielle discuss: - Danielle's approach to playing against both Faithfuls and fellow Traitors - Her read on players like Carolyn, Dylan and Gabby - Reflections on her Big Brother legacy and how it impacted her Traitors game - Behind-the-scenes stories, including a hilarious tale about Ethan Zohn ordering pickles - Danielle's thoughts on potential future reality TV appearances Topics by timestamp: 00:00 Intros 04:48 Danielle's Traitors Experience Reflection 09:43 Lying About Grandkids Controversy 16:38 Danielle's Relationship with Britney 22:14 Dylan's Connections with Traitors 25:43 Danielle's Final Game Moves 32:56 Danielle's Reality TV Journey 38:39 Sam Asghari's Traitors Strategy 44:50 Big Brother Players for Traitors 51:44 Danielle's Survivor 50 Campaign 59:17 Danielle's Social Media Approach 1:08:39 Danielle's Parents' Influence 1:23:32 Danielle's Cameo Experience 1:40:38 Rob's Future in Reality TV Never miss all our Traitors US recaps plus recaps from other versions around the world!
