The Traitors NZ

If I was making him watch that, then I would look terrible.

So we watched The Traitors New Zealand together.

I'd watched a series of Love is Blind with him before that was quite good, but I knew that the most recent UK one was really boring.

Then we watched The Traitors Canada.

He's edited The Block NZ, Celebrity Treasure Island, amongst others.

He also appeared in the first season of The Traitors NZ.

Now, The Reality Machine is a seven-part podcast with new episodes on Mondays and Thursdays.

And it looks back at all the big ones from our country, pop stars, The Bachelor, Celebrity Treasure Island.

Are you ready to get started? [dramatic music]

This is my first formal interview, often referred to as a confession, for the first season of The Traitors New Zealand.

It was the first time I'd been on a reality show, but it wasn't new to me.

Less than a week earlier, I'd been cutting up the interviews of people sitting in a very similar situation on Celebrity Treasure Island.

Now, you could lie to me again.

Um, I predicted last time on the pod, along with Harrison from Traitors New Zealand to join me as a co-host, we both reckoned Richard was gonna go, and they ended it where they ended it because it might be quite an overwhelming vote.

Did, did you feel the same, or did you think someone else was in danger?

I did feel the same.

It was the fact that he then doubled down and everybody's reaction.

Now, we've actually spoken to Andrew Schusterman, the executive producer of The Traitors New Zealand and Australia, on the show before, and he said one of the greatest things about working on The Traitors is that they run the show, like the cast and how it all folds out, and you just have to sit back, relax, and watch what's happening.

And so you could hear a pin drop in the production suite when this moment happened.

And even now, the producers of the show still cannot believe that it happened.

And both Harrison and his mum are Traitors superfans.

Why am I mentioning Harrison's mum? Well, because as some of you will recognise, just a few months ago, we saw both of them on screen as contestants with a secret relationship and the traitors new zealand season three and harrison is still keeping up to date with the traitors all over the place and was the perfect guest to join me here for celebrity uk episode two harrison how are you doing today i'm

so good thank you matthew how are you everything good

All good.

We've mentioned we've been watching lots of different versions of The Traitors recently, and I'm not gonna do lots of spoilers.

I'm not gonna repeatedly talk about, "Well, this happened in Traitors Australia, and, and Traitors New Zealand a couple months ago they did this." I, I know that, that gets really boring for people who've not seen those seasons, right? I'll just mention here that, uh, the, the...

Uh, this is uno- unavoidable I think.

Uh, Traitors US, uh, is, is on right now, their, their new civilian series, Traitors: New Blood, and they filmed that back-to-back with this version.

This is not a spoiler.

This is a little soundbite from a Traitors New Zealand player.

I will not name them to not give anything away.

Well,
