Format
Twenty-four contestants arrive at a castle in the Central Transdanubia, Hungary with hopes of winning a large cash prize that is built up through missions. The players are referred to as the "Faithful" but among them are the "Traitors" – a group of contestants selected by the host, whose goal is to eliminate the Faithfuls and claim the prize for themselves. Should the Faithful contestants eliminate all the Traitors, they will share the prize fund, but if any Traitors make it to the end, they steal the money.
Most nights, the Traitors come together and decide upon one Faithful contestant to "murder" and that person leaves the game immediately. The remaining Faithful contestants do not know who has been eliminated until the following day when that person does not enter the castle for breakfast. The first murder takes place before the first banishment. After that the murders usually take place after the banishments. The group then takes part in a mission to add money to the prize fund. Some challenges also offer an opportunity for players to visit the Armory where one player is secretly awarded the shield which gives the player immunity from being murdered, but not from the banishment vote. An attempted murder on the shield holder will result in no player being eliminated.
At the end of each day, the players participate in the Round Table, where they discuss who to vote out before individually voting for a player to be banished. Players cast their votes privately then reveal their votes in turn to everyone. They may give a brief rationale for their vote. The person who received the most votes is eliminated and reveals their affiliation. When a Traitor is eliminated, the remaining Traitors are given the opportunity to recruit another player.
Once the game has reached the final four, the remaining players participate in the final challenge. The players are given a choice to "Banish Again" or to "End Game." A unanimous "End Game" vote concludes the game, while a single vote to "Banish Again" results in another banishment vote, followed by another choice between "Banish Again" or "End Game." When the game ends, if all remaining players are Faithful, then the prize money is divided evenly among them. However, if any Traitors remain, they win the entire pot.
Contestants All twenty-four contestants were revealed on 18 July through a promotional spot. However, their identities remained undisclosed. The first four contestants were officially announced on 8 September. Since then, until 13 October, four contestants have been introduced each week. +List of Trădătorii contestantsContestantAgeFromOccupationAffiliationFinishDaniel Cojanu30Râmnicu Sărat, BuzăuResearcherFaithfulMurderedRăzvan Balașov34BucharestPhysics teacher and astrophysicist FaithfulBanishedDarius Grigorie29Uricani, HunedoaraComedianFaithfulMurderedGabi Bota43Orăștie, HunedoaraWriterFaithfulBanishedIulian Raicu35Constanța, ConstanțaIT Project ManagerFaithfulMurderedAlexandra "Sasha" Popescu37Târgu Jiu, GorjProduct managerFaithfulBanishedRadu Bănceanu38Hunedoara, HunedoaraMagician TraitorBanishedDiana Cibotea 33Soveja, VranceaPR specialistFaithfulBanishedSorina Bădărău23Iași, Iași Law studentFaithfulMurderedIonel Tămaș26Huedin, ClujConstruction engineer TraitorBanishedConstantin Dumitru37BucharestHairstylist and motivational speaker FaithfulMurderedMaria Secrieriu37BucharestSpecial education teacherFaithfulBanishedAlexa Vangu27Mangalia, ConstanțaComposerTraitorBanishedIleana Berci38Cara, ClujDonkey farm ownerFaithfulMurderedAdina Gânscă66Cluj-Napoca, ClujRetiredFaithfulBanishedCosby Shillah32BucharestSecurity agentFaithfulMurderedIoan "Johnny" Bădeliță43BucharestActor and beekeeperTraitorBanishedIlaria Mareș 42BucharestProduct control specialistFaithfulMurderedDaniela "Dana" Matei25BucharestArtistFaithfulBanished(Episode 12)Andrei "Biju" Bijutescu51BucharestDigital marketing specialist FaithfulBanished(Episode 12)Daniela Șendrea30Chișinău, MoldovaPsycho-numerologistFaithful Runner-up(Episode 12)Daria Nica28Straja, HunedoaraSnowboard instructor Faithful Runner-up(Episode 12)Marius Gadină32Satu Mare, Satu MarePolice officer Faithful Runner-up(Episode 12)Ines Stana27Baia Mare, MaramureșContent creator TraitorWinner
