What is the format of 'The Traitors' Season 2?
Host Allan Cumming mentioned in the teaser that 'The Traitors' Season 2 is about 'Strategy, Betrayal, Sabotage and Murder'.
Set in the picturesque location of Andross Castle tucked in the Scottish Highlands, the cast goes on a mission to find who's the traitor and who's not.
A group of contestants (reality TV stars) will enter the Andross Scottish mansion, where one group will be called as "traitors". The survivors will be tagged "faithful".
Every week, the traitors will have the opportunity to "murder" one of their fellow players, eliminating them from the game. The remaining participants will then vote at the conclusion of each week to "banish" one of the other players in the aim of eliminating a traitor.
Along the process, the group will accrue a monetary reward pool through tasks. If the faithfuls have eliminated all the traitors by the end of the game, they will split the reward pool, but if a traitor remains, they will take the entire pot.
