The Traitors US has seen murders take place left, right, and center, and it\u2019s up to the roundtable faithfuls to figure out who the secret killers are. But apparently, the reality of the show is shocking.<\/p>\n

From kicking Dorinda Medley out three episodes in to staying in a hotel outside The Traitors<\/a> US castle, it\u2019s been a wild season for Peacock<\/a>. Alan Cumming has chosen his traitors, but what really goes on?<\/p>\n

The Traitors US cast stay in nearby hotels<\/h2>\n

The Traitors US contestants stay in a hotel situated 45 minutes from the main castle they film in. Season 1\u2019s Arie Luyendyk said on an Instagram<\/a> Q&A in March 2024, \u201cCast stayed in a hotel, not the castle.\u201d<\/p>\n

He spilled that filming lasted between 18 and 20 hours for a total of four weeks. \u201cCovid eliminated 2 cast members and we had to reshoot the entire first episode,\u201d Luyendyk also claimed on his Instagram Story.<\/p>\n

\u201cOriginal episode we came in on a train (same train from Harry Potter) but they had to cut it all because of the cast member who got sick and we [sic] in too many of the shots,\u201d Arie added.<\/p>\n
