Format
The show retained the same format and challenges as the The Traitors UK. The arrived contestants at the castle are referred to as the "Faithful," and among them are the "Traitors," a group of contestants secretly selected by the host, Alan Cumming. Each night, the Traitors would decide who to "murder," and that same contestant would leave the game. After the end of each day, where the contestants participated in various challenges to add money to the prize fund, they would participate in the Round Table, where they must decide who to banish from the game, trying to identify the Traitor.
If all the remaining players are Faithful, then the prize money is divided evenly among them. However, if any Traitors remain, they win the entire pot.
Contestants
Unlike the first season, this season's cast was composed entirely of reality show participants and public figures. In addition to the pre-existing relationships and rivalries between the contestants who have participated on the same show in the past, this season also includes a preexisting personal relationship between Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan, who were dating at the time of the show's production. It was revealed that season 1 contestant Kate Chastain would return as an intruder. Big Brother 2 winner Will Kirby made a cameo hosting a challenge.
