Explained simply
The Celebrity Traitors is a version of the TV game The Traitors, in which well-known contestants try to identify hidden “traitors” among them. The traitors secretly remove other players from the game, while the remaining contestants, known as “faithfuls”, vote to banish someone they suspect.
Contestants must judge whether others are telling the truth while concealing their own roles. The format combines social deduction with a competition for a prize, and the celebrity edition brings familiar public figures into the game.
