Explained simply
The Celebrity Traitors is a television competition in which well-known people take part in group challenges while trying to work out who among them has secretly been chosen as a traitor. The rest are called faithful, and they must identify the traitors before being eliminated from the game.
Players can be banished after group votes, while traitors can secretly remove other contestants. The format combines deduction and deception with challenges and the contestants’ personalities, so alliances and suspicions can shift as the game unfolds.
