Sunniva Rose

**Sunniva Johanne Rose** is a contestant from *Forræder (Norway)/Season 3*.

## Profile

*Retrieved and translated from TV 2:*

The mother of two is a physicist and director of communications at Norsk Kjernekraft. She fears that her background could be a disadvantage in the game.

"Because I have been a researcher and such, people might think: "Oh, you are smart". I don't think I'm necessarily smarter than others, but that's the kind of reputation you can get. It might be seen as a threat, and that I might have to go out because of that."

## Gameplay

Sunniva started the game off pretty good as many viewed her as trustworthy and she generally came out the gate as a rather intelligent player. With the occupation as a nuclear physicist many trusted her and assumed she was a faithful. In the banishment vote she voted David saying "we should not vote as a group"

The Traitors viewed Sunniva as a rather smart player being in a relatively good position and therefore decided on getting her out.

The Traitors: Canada, typically stylised as **The Traitors Canada**, is the English Canadian edition of the global franchise *The Traitors*.It is the fifth English edition of the show to launch & 18th edition of the show to launch globally, with its first episode airing on October 2, 2023.

## History

The existence of two Canadian versions of *The Traitors* - a nationwide English version and a Quebec-only French version - was announced on June 6, 2023 by Bell Media. It was also revealed that Canadian actor Karine Vanasse would host both the English and French editions, making her the first person to host multiple versions of the franchise. Two days later on June 8, 2023, Noovo also revealed that the English version of *The Traitors* would include some celebrity participants.

Bell Media's Content Development and Programming VP Justin Stockman further revealed that Vanasse's contract had been finalised less than a week ago, with both versions slated to film back-to-back in Quebec over the summer, before they debuted in September 2023. Both seasons were filmed back-to-back in August 2023: the English edition first, then the French one. They were also subsequently delayed from their original scheduled dates, with the English edition beginning in October and the French edition pushed back to early 2024.

Paeden Bennetts

**Paeden Dean Bennetts** is a Faithful from *The Traitors (Australia)/Season 2*.

Paeden started off being suspected by Elias Nohra because he talked to Sarah Short and speculated if Elias might be a Traitor. Sarah then began spreading rumours to the group the night before the first Murder. Knowing the group might Banish him, Paeden talked to Elias the next day and clarified the conversation. Elias then made amends with him before the first Banishment, and persuaded the rest of the group that Paeden was a Faithful. This information caused the Traitor to target Paeden for being 'cleared', leading him to be the third Murder.

## Profile

*Retrieved from 10 play:*

Paeden is a graphic designer from Adelaide who has been playing strategy games his whole life. He feels like *The Traitors* is his real-life dream come true.

He says, “Clearly it was my bulging biceps that got me on the show but actually, I’ve played these games my whole life. I know what it takes to win. It’s a balance of deception, social politics and relationship management. Coming in with a game mindset, lets me go in with nothing to lose. I don’t need more friends, I have plenty at home.”

Not afraid to do what he has to do to win, Paeden says, “If you signed up to play a show called *The Traitors* and have some sort of moral compass and want to talk down on those playing the best game pretending it’s against your ethics, you are an out-and-out moron.”

If he wins, Paeden wants to use the money to set up his family after recently getting engaged. His dream is to pay for a wedding, get a new car, a house and look after his loved ones.

Paul de Gelder

**Paul de Gelder** is a Faithful from *The Traitors (Australia)/Season 2*.

Paul came into the game as a player who could not be convinced or manipulated, due to his background as a former soldier and a shark attack survivor. This ultimately caused him to act separately from the group's plan to vote for someone else at Banishment, such as when he voted Faithful Keith Banks instead of the Traitors' intended target, fellow Traitor Ash Pollard. His own methods and mission to spot a Traitor, along with the high chance he would not be Banished because of the minimal suspicions towards him, led to him being the Traitors' fourth Murder.

## Profile

*Retrieved from 10 play:*

Former elite soldier, shark attack survivor, even a part time rapper, Paul has led an inspiring life and lived to tell the tale.

As someone who is used to being pushed to his limits, Paul survived a bull shark attack in Sydney Harbour in 2009 while he was doing a counter terrorism exercise which he says, “Was a pretty bad way to start the day.” The shark removed his entire right hand and the hamstring of his right leg.

He says, “Fortunately for me, I don’t have flashbacks or nightmares or hold onto things like that. I’ve been through enough in my life to realise that was just another chapter and life goes on. I also have that dark military humour and Aussie humour so I take the positive and found it catapulted me into knowing more about myself.”

Since then, he has become an author, TV host and motivational speaker. But in this game, he knows not to stand too tall from the pack saying, “I can be that grey man. I don’t need to be the leader, I can be the follower. I can fit into any scenario and sometimes you just have to shut off your emotions and I’m very good at that.”

*Retrieved and translated from RTL:*

**Why did you decide to participate in "The Traitors"?**

When the show was introduced to me, I knew immediately: This is going to be exciting! It's simply a great combination of action and psychology, very intelligently done.

**What was your initial intention: to be loyal or a traitor?**

I was torn from the beginning. But being a traitor probably just seems more fun, especially at the start of the show.

**How would you feel if you were supposed to be a traitor?**

At the beginning, I would enjoy it and feel secure, but it would get more stressful as it goes on!

**What do you think a loyal person must do to survive the game and unmask the traitors?**

Firstly, not become a quick target for the traitors. And secondly, be quick-witted so that you have a chance at the round table.

**Do you have a tactic or strategy?**

It would probably be easiest to stay inconspicuous for as long as possible and always dodge, but that's not my style.

**What does your poker face look like?**

Ruthless, because in the end, it's every man for himself.

**Are you a good liar?**

In general, I'm sure my experience as an actor helps. But the ultimate opponent is my girlfriend. I haven't even finished speaking a white lie, and she's already tilting her head!

**Can you immediately tell when someone is lying?**

If I focus on it, then yes, but I believe most lies are only uncovered later – if at all.

**Is there a lie that you regret to this day?**

In my job, it's part of the deal to be recognized and approached. However, once someone confused me with a character from a different TV series and said, "Hey, you're the one from *GZSZ*!" And because he was so convinced, I just went along with it and had an extensive discussion about the storylines of my colleagues from the Kolle neighborhood...

Rick Campanelli

**Richard Adam Matthew "Rick" Campanelli** is a Faithful in *The Traitors Canada/Season 1*.

Known as one of the most recognizable radio hosts in Canada, Rick used his charisma, persuasion of people, and ability to interview players as his major strengths as a Faithful. Unfortunately, that made him believe that Collin Johnson was a Traitor and rally the troops to Banished him, only to be revealed as a Faithful. He then decided to go after reality stars that did not vote for Traitor Melissa Best: Mickey Henry, Domenic Isleasi and Mai Nguyen. However, being one of the main factors that played into Collin's Banishment, Rick was quickly targeted by the group, particularly Miss Fiercalicious and Mai, for being falsely assumed and therefore being the Traitors' ring leader. After a comment he made on Breakfast after Gurpyar Bains's Murder further cemented their suspicion, Rick and Mai developed a feud that exacerbated after Landing Signals Mission. Even though Travon Smith lying occupation caused the group to be suspicious of him, the group mob mentality caused the majority to Banished Rick, finishing in 15th place.

Silver

**Silver** is used on *The Traitors* to depict lump sums of money, that will eventually be awarded to a season's winners.

In *De Verraders (Netherlands)* and a few other versions, the total prize fund is simply described in terms of silver bars, whereas in most other versions, each silver bar is specified to have a certain monetary value. The choice of silver bars for the prize fund has not been fully explained by the creators, but there at least three plausible reasons for doing so:

1. To establish a quantifiable denominator for Mission payouts
2. To contribute to the show's treasure-seeking/mysterious aesthetic
3. To obfuscate the relatively low prize fund from winning

Despite the use of silver bars, the prize fund is paid out to contestants in money, even when not explicitly stated on-screen. The exact value of each silver bar typically depends on the market price for silver during production, and can thus fluctuate, although silver bars are stated to be purely representative in some cases, rather than tied to an actual market price.

For *The Traitors (UK)* and *The Traitors (US)*, gold coins are instead used to depict the prize fund, primarily for representative purposes since there is no known fixed value assigned to each gold coin.

Theo Mayne

**Theo Mayne** is a contestant from *The Traitors (UK)/Series 1*.

## Profile

*Retrieved from BBC:*

**Name:** Theo

**Age:** 26

**Job title:** Cheerleading Coach

**Location:** Leeds

**Why did you apply to be on this brand-new reality series, what interested you about the concept?**
I applied to push myself out of my comfort zone. It was the concept for the game that got me interested and the fear of the unknown. I've always liked to push myself out of my comfort zone and try new things. I'm a coach by day so I always like to lead by example and show people that anything's possible when you work hard and push yourself to strive to achieve greatness.

**What do you think you will bring to the game? What's your game plan?**
My game plan is to be myself and let people fall in love with me. To get people to do their best and to help them believe in themselves. I always like to be that strong character and tell people they can do it and make them believe. I’d definitely like to motivate others to help them succeed, that's my game plan.

**If you're a Traitor, how will you feel, how good is your poker face?**
I'm used to helping and motivating people so going behind their backs would be hurtful, but at the end of the day, it’s for me as well. My poker face is quite strong, I do a lot of musical theatre so I'd like to say that I can act!

**How far are you prepared to go to win the game?**
All the way, I will do anything. Once I know what I’m doing my competitive side comes out. I don’t care what I need to do, but I’ll get there!

**If you're a Faithful, what will your game plan be? How good are you spotting a liar?**
The good thing about being a coach is that I can always tell when the kids are lying because they'll have a nervous stomach, or their body language changes. I'm good at picking out different traits, it's always down to people's mannerisms but then again, they could just be really, really good at lying.

**If you're a Faithful, what qualities do you think that you'll need to make it through to the final?**
For me it would be helping people, motivating them, being a friendly face, being myself, being funny and trying to get them through the day. Whatever it is we're doing, I will be motivating them to succeed and achieve greatness. That's my Faithful game plan.

**What will you spend the prize money on if you win?**
I would invest it into a gym, because I'd like my own. Currently with my business, I rent from another gymnastics gym and I want to have my own unit to be able to provide sessions for all kinds of people, for example LGBTQ family mornings, and for cheerleading and do everything that I've always wanted to do. For me, winning the money is an investment in my business that I will able to touch more lives, reach more people and do good.

## Profile

*Retrieved and translated from M6:*

**What is your role in the show?**
I am the master of the game, the 'master of ceremony', the castellan who welcomes guests to the castle. I am also the one who assign the roles of the candidates: Traitor or Faithful, and I give the rules of the game. I am also the one who has fun with a mischievous look at the situations the candidates are in. I have a position of first spectator because I see all the stories, shenanigans, manipulations... that the
others do not see. It's very funny.

**Why did you agree to present this new game?**
Before embarking on a new adventure, whether it be theatrical, television or writing, I ask myself several questions: am I going to have fun? Am I going to learn? Am I going to do something singular and which will correspond to what I am? For *Les Traîtres* all the answers were positive! I have learned a lot, it is a new role and a new form of game and television adventure for me. It's a production almost cinematic in terms of production or writing, there is something that takes me completely out of the classic TV host and who is almost creating
of a character. Sometimes I had to be much more sober than I usually am, more in the rules and more disturbing.

**How did you live the experience?**
With great joy! It was a marathon experience, dense and intense since filming sometimes ended at 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. and we resumed the next morning at breakfast, welcoming all the candidates of the game. And in these moments of extreme fatigue, we perceive the true nature of people and that is very interesting from a psychological point of view.

Craig is a Business Coach from the Sunshine Coast who believes his career experience is setting him up in good stead for The Traitors.

He has worked with many high-profile clients, celebrities and his job has sent him all over the world. Craig says: “I’m perfect for *The Traitors* because it’s not just my business experience but I have a background in body language and non-verbal communication. I don’t want them to know I’m an expert at body language but I often wear my emotions on my face so I will have to watch that”.

Fiercely competitive, especially when it comes to Monopoly, Craig likes to test himself to see how far he can go and how far he can push himself.

Not afraid to be chosen as a Traitor, Craig does worry his empathetic side might come out and give his game away but if he’s a Faithful, he feels his ability to read body language will help him uncover who they are.

Craig says: “I’ll be looking for signs of deception and they might be able to hide it in their words, but their bodies will tell me a different story. We’re extremely readable, we have no idea how much we give away and often we will see something that’s not quite right, but we’ll tend to ignore it or justify it. So, I’ll be paying close attention in this game”.

Sita Salminen

**Sita Sofia Salminen** is an Original Traitor and the Winner of *Petolliset/Season 1* along with Heikki Sorsa.

Having prepared for the show by watching other versions beforehand, Sita used her genuine emotions to portray herself as a hapless Faithful, all the while masterminding Murders as a Traitor. A key part of her gameplan included eliminating fellow Traitor Janne Porkka, who she grew increasingly in conflict with as the game progressed. Forming an ironclad alliance with fellow Traitor Heikki and playing on people underestimating her allowed her to reach the end of the game mostly unscrutinised, despite an increasingly bitter Janne's efforts to undermine her, and she shared a joint victory with Heikki.

**Sita Salminen, 30, Influencer**

Sita is one of Finland's top influencers who creates content on YouTube and TikTok, has written a book, and co-hosts the highly popular POKS podcast with Veronica Verho. Sensitive and seemingly vulnerable, Sita instills trust in her fellow competitors and becomes the center of plotting as others confide in her. Prepared for deceit, Sita has studied international seasons of the show, analyzed plot twists, and honed her game tactics in advance. She approaches the game with the mindset that, if necessary, she is ready to deceive and lie within the bounds allowed by the game.

Szabolcs Tóth has been playing the game known as the killer for a long time, and he has mixed his cards quite well outside of the show. Despite all this, he knows that it will be different to play for days, even against experienced actors, in the crime-reality "The Traitors - Murder in the Castle". "It just happens that some pro face comes and takes you into the forest and leaves you deep in the woods". However, he admitted that he would like to be a murderer because he likes to manipulate people with good little lies.

De Verraders (Netherlands)/Season 1

***De Verraders Seizoen 1*** is the debut regular season of *De Verraders (Netherlands)*. It was broadcast every Saturday at 9:30pm on the Dutch terrestrial TV channel RTL 4 with eight episodes total, starting from March 13, 2021 to May 1, 2021. Due to concerns over COVID-19 related filming restrictions overseas, the show was recorded domestically. It soon became a smash hit with audiences and production rights were sold overseas, although there was some viewer controversy over its similarity to *The Mole* and the finale format.

## Unique Characteristics & Twists

* **Publicly Awarded Shield:** In this first season, Shields were publicly awarded to contestants through voting or for completing certain missions. The only other season internationally where this was the case was *The Traitors (Australia)/Season 1*, where Shields were also more powerful and protected its holders in Banishments as well.
* **Advisory Panel:** At the final three, several eliminated contestants were brought back to advise the Finalists on who they should play Prisoners' Dilemma against and what choice they should then make. This exact format was not seen in subsequent versions, in part due to changes to the endgame.

Sandra Wu

**Sandra Wu** is a contestant from *The Traitors (Australia)/Season 1*.

Sandra entered the game planning to sit back and observe, while forming relationships to use later on in the game. However, she quickly found herself directing discussions and whipping votes at the first Banishment against Jack Rodgers. Her vocal nature and strong social bonds led her to be seen as a threat by the Traitors. Given that she was unlikely to be targeted at a Banishment in the short run, the Traitors opted to quickly dispose of her through Murder.

## Profile

*Retrieved from 10 play:*

Not one to be pushed around, Sandra will stand up for herself and isn’t afraid to keep her fellow players on their toes.

As a personal trainer, a VIP supervisor at a night club and creator of her own activewear label, Sandra is motivated and excited to play the game. She says: “I think what keeps me going and motivates me to work hard is knowing my parents worked really hard to bring my whole family to Australia and give me the life I have. I don’t want to waste that. I see myself as a winner in life because I choose to see everything through to the end and I won’t stop until I get what I want”.

Her plan to get to the end involves two phases and she says the first will be to sit back and observe and then she’ll strike. Sandra says: “My second phase will be working out what to do with the information, form alliances and use my skills of manipulation to get to the end. I love this game because it’s all about mental strategy, emotional resilience, and physical challenges.

“Any friendships I form in the game are purely strategic. I’m going in to win and if I need to cut those friendships loose at the end, then I will”.
