Mickey Henry

**Mickey Henry** is a Recruited Traitor in *The Traitors Canada/Season 1*.

Known as the winner of *The Amazing Race Canada Season 2* with his best friend Pete Schmalz, Mickey competes on the Traitors with his carefree spirit and athletic skill while smiling and wearing casual clothing throughout his time in the game. Those attributes initially made him avoid being suspected to be a Traitor while his cluelessness gave an advantage to the Traitors and therefore kept him around far in the game. After there was only one Traitor left in the game, Mike D'Urzo decided to blackmail Mickey, who was actually suspecting Leroy Fontaine, and he decided to accept it, becoming the only Recruited Traitor in this season. After becoming the Traitor, Mickey continued to maintain his goofiness, laid-back attitude, and quiet personality towards the remainder of the competition. This unfortunately caused the group to suspect him of being a Traitor as the number was dwindling and the group believed that Mickey still not giving much information was a sign of a Traitor. And while Mike initially wanted to keep Mickey to the end, he decided to throw Mickey's name to the group in order to buy himself more times and to point the finger at Faithful Travon Smith. At the Roundtable, with Mike and Mickey's names on the table, Mike decided to write Mickey's name down along with Leroy and Gurleen Maan, while Mickey wrote Leroy name down, therefore avoiding a tie and Banishing Mickey just before the Finale in 6th place.

Olivia Fisher

**Olivia Fisher** is a contestant from *The Traitors (Australia)/Season 1*.

Olivia entered the game intending to use her skills as a forensic investigator to her advantage. Her game would quickly and dramatically change as she confidently suspected Jack Rodgers and Claire Sawyer, after believing the former had a slip-up and was asking her to conspire about the next Murder. When Jack was exposed as a Faithful post-Banishment, suspicion immediately fell onto Olivia, as she struggled to recover and constantly received votes until she was finally Banished.

## Profile

*Retrieved from 10 play:*

Olivia is obsessed with solving puzzles saying: “If there was a board game in front of me and a piece was missing, I would literally turn the house upside down until I found the missing piece”.

Olivia loves problem solving at home as well as work, where she’s a forensic investigator. She can pick out a liar and has to adapt to a different scenario every day she’s at work but also says: “What you see on TV is nothing like what I do for a job”.

Olivia says she’s not coming into the game to make friends, she’s coming to win and while lying and betrayal are not part of her everyday life, she’s willing to make big moves in the game.

She says: “I am the Queen of composure. I have to be with my job. This is a game of deceit and a game where you trust no one. I am going in there knowing everyone is going to be lying to me and I’m a good liar so I will fish them out”.

Deontay Wilder

**Deontay Leshun Wilder** is a Faithful from *The Traitors (US)/Season 2*.

Initially excited to enter the game and participate in it like one of his boxing matches, the guilt from wrongfully accusing others at Banishments quickly took a toll on Deontay, culminating in severe distress when he mistakenly believed that his friend Maks Chmerkovskiy was a Traitor and drove his Banishment. He then decided to leave the game for mental health reasons.

Fruzsina Görgényi usually relies on her intuition, but she thinks she'll need more than that if she wants to win the crime reality show "The Traitors - Murder in the Castle". Based on the experiences of foreign programs and the Agatha Christie books read before going to bed, she only realized: you can't prepare for what awaits them. She really hopes that she will be given the role of the killer, but even more that she will stay in the game for a long time.

Geraldine Moreno

**Geraldine Moreno** is a Faithful in *The Traitors (US)/Season 1*.

An actor and influencer who quickly got off the wrong footing in the game, she was ultimately first Banished for not being able to make a case proving her innocence, despite the tide turning against the contestant driving her ouster - fellow Faithful Michael Davidson.

## Profile

*Retrieved from BBC:*

From the city of angels, Señorita Mexicana Geraldine Moreno is a Latina internet personality star, actress, and social media content creator who considers herself made of hot sauce. Animated, spontaneous, smart, high energy (even without coffee, which she’s never had), and extremely competitive, Geraldine is ﬁrst generation and the oldest of two sisters, graduating with a bachelor's degree in business marketing and management. Geraldine enjoys hiking and dancing during her free time.

## Gameplay

Although Geraldine prided herself on being good at reading others' body language due to her profession, the spotlight soon turned on her instead as she acted nervously after the Traitors were selected, pinging several contestants' suspicions. She was the relentless focus of Michael Davidson, who felt certain she was a Traitor and made it his mission to eliminate her, even going so far to threaten Kate Chastain over the upcoming vote. Michael's overreach seemed to present her an opportunity to survive; however, her apparent inability to articulate her own case meant she mostly acted defensively and threw the target back at Michael instead.

In the end, she (and others against Michael) did not convince enough people to vote for him. She left the game with a large number of the group misspelling her name during the Banishment vote; variations included "G", "Gi", "Gerldine" and even "Jeryldean".

## Post-Game

* Geraldine revealed at the reunion that she was dating fellow contestant Christian de la Torre.

## Trivia

* Geraldine is the first contestant from *The Traitors (US)* to be Banished.
* Though not shown on camera, Geraldine was a last-minute replacement for another contestant, Kevin Greene, who contracted COVID-19 and had already filmed the first day with the rest of the cast. The entire first day was then reshot with Geraldine in Kevin's place. This might have contributed to Geraldine becoming an outsider, and led to her quick elimination.

Sam McGlone

**Sam McGlone** is an Original Traitor and the runner-up of *The Traitors (Australia)/Season 2*, along with Blake Willoughby and Camille Chicheportiche.

Giving himself the nickname "The Sheriff" and willing to do whatever it takes, Sam plays aggressive gameplay as a Traitor by betraying his fellow Traitor, Ash Pollard, with the help of Blake Willoughby after three episodes. His plan was to openly Murder or Banish Faithfuls that were onto him like Annabel Fidler and Luke Toki, while sparing Faithfuls that were loyal and believed him a Faithful like Liam Davern and Sarah Short until the very end. He managed to execute this plan while charming most of the other contestants, with Faithfuls only realising he was a Traitor as they were picked off one by one despite previous warnings.

However, the bond between him and Blake was long gone throughout the season, and even the decision to recruit Camille Chicheportiche as a Traitor was opposed by Blake, who nevertheless allowed it. This proved to be his undoing, as towards the end where they Murdered and Banished all of the Faithfuls, the remaining trio faced a Traitor's dilemma. Blake and Camille both clocked that Sam was going to Steal despite saying to them that he will Share the money, also choosing to Steal and causing no one to receive the AU$208,000 as a prize, and finishing the game as a Finalist along with Blake and Camille.

## Profile

*Retrieved from 10 play:*

A marketing videographer for international brands, Sam travels the world. This makes him familiar with having to change his style based on who he’s working for, which he thinks will work in his favour in this game.

He says, “I work with so many different brands and businesses, so I have to change my character seven times a day from being a fitness person to selling garden equipment.”

Sam is a country boy from NSW who now lives on the Gold Coast. He spent over 40 days during the 2019 NSW bushfires as a volunteer fire fighter with his dad and brother, raising over $63,000 for his local wildlife centre.

But who wants to be the good guy in a game like *The Traitors*? Not Sam. He says, “I have a really good game face, I’m just gonna be nice and pleasant, but when it really comes down to the crunch, I know what I need to do.”

## Trivia

* Sam is the first contestant in any version of the franchise to Steal instead of Share during Prisoners' Dilemma. (Even though all three Finalists voted the same way, his vote was unveiled first.)
Azra Valani

**Azra Valani** is a Faithful from *The Traitors (US)/Season 1*.

Azra's short stay in the game was marked by a strident attempt to avoid drama. The one time she did publicly engage with Kyle Cooke at the Round Table, the Traitors pounced upon it as an opportunity to eliminate her and try to make Kyle suspicious.

## Profile

*Retrieved from BBC:*

Azra Valani, who was born in Kenya, raised in Toronto, Canada, now resides in Los Angeles as a yoga instructor and dog mom. This introverted 5”2 vegetarian does magic tricks and taught herself how to code Python. Azra graduated with a degree in applied economics and a minor in women studies and was a ﬁnalist for Miss World Canada. Her lifelong dream is to teach yoga at homeless shelters because she believes everyone should have access to yoga without unreasonable costs.

## Gameplay

Azra's strategy in the game was to lay low and say little. When a heated argument broke out amongst the contestants in Episode 3, Azra opted to leave the room instead of engaging in the situation, with her ally Anjelica Conti tagging along. She claimed that the negative energy was not conducive, and was afraid that if she spoke up she would become a target as well.

Later in the episode, when Kyle Cooke called out the Faithfuls for adhering to a herd mentality, Azra spoke up while casting her Banishment vote and argued that some players were having intelligent conversations among themselves and did not want to speak up against the louder personalities. That night, the Traitors saw Kyle's attempts at shepherding the Faithfuls as a potential threat to their game, and since Azra had publicly disagreed with Kyle, Murdering her could see the Faithfuls attribute that elimination to him and cause him to be Banished down the line (which indeed did happen the next episode).

Travon Smith

**Travon Smith** is a Faithful in *The Traitors Canada/Season 1*.

A PR specialist decided to lie to the group on working as a server at Denny's, Travon started off collapsing on the Quarry Blowup Mission, then revealing his lies in order to explaining to the group why he voted for Kevin Martin and defending Traitor Melissa Best. It then caused the group to suspect him at several Banishments, causing him to breakdown and start to give up, which in turn caused the group to consider him a Faithful as no Traitors would behave at any point in the game.

Travon then decided to focus on targeting Mike D'Urzo, whom he believed was a Traitor, and wanting to Banished him at the right time. Unfortunately, he had to vote for the majority midway through the game, including his close friend Melissa Allder, and the two times near the end when he decided to write down Mike's name, Traitors Kuzie Mujakachi and Mickey Henry were Banished respectively. This, in turn, caused Travon to doubt Mike, thinking that he could be a Faithful and instead believing that Donna Hartt was a Traitor. Unbeknownst to him, the remaining players suspected Travon of being a Traitor based on his lying occupation, his inconsistencies in defending and voting for a player, and the fact that his votes were not with a majority at the two latest Banishments. And eventually, the group decided to Banished Travon at the Final Roundtable, finishing in 5th place.

## Profile

*Retrieved and translated from VTM:*

"At the very first game, I was already more nervous than I had anticipated. That was a good lesson. I'm someone who goes all-in when I dive into something. And, of course, the big question is: can I make it a complete success? Honestly, I think if you're a traitor, you have to completely throw your authenticity overboard. I'm naturally quite straightforward, and people know what they get with me. So, can I do that? If I choose to, I have to go for it. Period."

## Post-Game

* On December 23, 2023, Franky got married to his long-term partner Darline Van Heule.

Melissa Allder

**Melissa Allder** is a Faithful in *The Traitors Canada/Season 1*.

Named Melissa A to differentiate between her and Melissa Best, Melissa Allder entered the game with a loud voice and unique hairstyles. Despite playing an under-the-radar and received little edit compared to big reality stars and personalities, Melissa A made it far in the game using her intellect as a teacher along with her influence to formed close relationship with Crystal Mayes, Mary Wisden and Travon Smith while voicing who she thought the Traitors were. This caused Traitors Kuzie Mujakachi and Mike D'Urzo put her name on the Deathrow along with Mary and Kevin Martin for the group to suspect her as a Traitor. Though she avoided being Banished and Murdered, Melissa A telling Mai Nguyen that Kuzie threw Mike's name, only to confronted by Kuzie at the Roundtable. This ultimately cost her game, as the group still suspected her for being on Deathrow, and resulted in being Banished in 9th place.

Armoury

The Armoury in The Traitors (UK) and The Traitors (US).

The **Armoury** is a key part of gameplay in *The Traitors*.

## Mechanics

First introduced in *Les Traîtres (Belgium)/Season 1*, it has since appeared in every season except *De Verraders (Netherlands)/Season 1* (before it was introduced) and *The Traitors (Australia)/Season 1* and *The Traitors (UK)/Series 2* (where Shields were publicly competed for/a side game during missions). In most episodes, one or more contestants will have the chance to visit the Armoury. It is also possible that no one meets the Mission conditions to visit the Armoury, even when the opportunity is otherwise available.

Those with the opportunity will take turns entering (how this is determined is not usually clear, although it informally seems that the contestants will agree amongst themselves what the entrance order is) and opening a box or cabinet door each. One or more of these doors will have some power hidden behind them: most commonly a Shield, but increasingly Daggers as well.

## Twists

* **Multiple Powers in Same Spot:** There might be multiple powers hidden in the Armoury, but in the same slot (rather than in separate slots per usual practice).
* **Double Daggers/Shields:** The final Armoury visit in some seasons might see multiple Daggers or Shields hidden in the Armoury.

## Strategy

While contestants were initially motivated to do well in Missions to increase the prize fund, they have increasingly cited an opportunity to visit the Armoury as being a more important outcome for Missions. Contestants may also choose to sabotage others specifically during Missions to prevent them from going to the Armoury.

The current metagame typically sees contestants entering the Armoury agreeing not to divulge if they won specific powers (especially the Shield) until the next day, effectively protecting them as the Traitors do not know who has the Shield and could risk 'wasting' a Murder by targeting someone who went into the Armoury. This is the case even if the Shield was somehow obtained by a Traitor, as it could put a target on their back due to speculation about how the Traitors knew who to avoid Murdering.

## Trivia

* Blanca Manchón was the first contestant with the opportunity to open two Armoury slots instead of one.
* Maria Fiselier was the first contestant to obtain both a Dagger and Shield in the same Armoury slot.

Miss Fiercalicious

**Paulo Fortes**, better known by their drag name **Miss Fiercalicious**, is a Faithful in *The Traitors Canada/Season 1*.

Known as a Finalist on *Canada's Drag Dace Season 3*, Miss Fiercalicious, or Fierce by many contestants, were known for their memorable confessional along with their sassy and loud personality. On the first day, they deciding to formed an alliance with Kevin Martin, Gurleen Maan and Kuzie Mujakachi, and being one of the main voices for Faithful Collin Johnson and Traitor Melissa Best's Banishment throughout the Roundtables. After successfully Banishing and unmasking Melissa B as a Traitor, Fierce were ecstatic and convinced that the remaining Traitors were Mickey Henry and Rick Campanelli, whom the latter decided to campaign for Banishment. Despite their suspicion of Rick being proven wrong when he was revealed as a Faithful, Kevin's decision to write Travon Smith's name down created a mistrust between the two. Fierce decided they would no longer be pawns in Kevin's game, while Kevin tried to enlist Gurleen to blindside Fierce at a later stage of the game. Unfortunately for Fierce, the group mob mentality of Fierce voicing wrong Faithfuls blindsided both Fierce and Kevin, and they ended up leaving the game in 13th place.
