If you ever jumped on the Among Us craze a few years back, you need to tune in to Channel 10’s latest reality series, The Traitors.
The competition sees a group of 24 players, known as Faithfuls, live together in a hotel, where they will take part in challenges in the hopes to walk away with $250,000.
They’ll also need to figure out who amongst them are actually Traitors in hiding.
There’s a lot on the line because if a Traitor manages to make it to the end undetected, they take home the entire amount. However, if a Faithful is able to expose a Traitor and get rid of them before the final vote, they have the option to take all the prize money or share it with their remaining Faithful.
33-year-old electrician Lewis hails from the Sunshine Coast, but he’s ready to rain on the Traitors’ parade.
In a press statement, Lewis said that he’s ready to lie with a smile, straight to his fellow contestants’ faces.
“I will be hiding in plain sight,” he said. “They won’t know until it’s already too late.”
While Lewis thought that he would “fit the role” of a Traitor perfectly, he did admit that “some aspects” of his personality — like “being loud and usually the biggest person in the room” — would maybe make him “a terrible Traitor”. Perhaps it’s for the best that he was selected as a Faithful, then?
Either way, Lewis went into the game ready to be a little bit devious, and said that his problem solving skills would be one of his biggest assets in the game.
“If I was an animal in this game, I would be a rat or a ferret,” he said. “I don’t want to be a big cat that everyone is looking and hunting for, I want to be the one in the tree who can pop down and take the spoils of war.”
Will Lewis be the smiling assassin who makes it to the end to claim the $250k? There’s only one way to find out!
The Traitors airs at 7.30pm, Sunday – Tuesdays, only on 10 and 10 Play on Demand.
