A former Bachelor, two Survivor winners, 3 Problem alums, 4 Housewives (and extra) stroll right into a fort in Scotland — what may pass improper?
Season 2 of Peacock’s The Traitors starts on Friday, January 12, and the trailer guarantees a number of plot twists and recreation play. One second from the teaser that has long past viral is between The Actual Housewives of Atlanta alum Phaedra Parks and season 24 Bachelor Peter Weber, with the Bravo big name stating, “This is not The Bachelor, and I don’t have to kiss your ass for a rose.”
“I was just like, ‘Oh, my God, I can’t wait to meet her,'” MTV’s Trishelle Cannatella informed Us Weekly of Phaedra, 50, in a joint interview with Weber and Love Island’s Ekin-Su CülcüloÄŸlu. “But also I’m terrified of her, and also how do I even act around her? She surprised me because she’s actually a warm person. Well, Peter might have a different experience than I did. But I liked Phaedra.”
Weber, 32, laughed at his costar’s review. “That trailer, man, the comments on that, holy s–t,” he informed Us. “I had a great time with Phaedra. We had an up and down relationship. I’ve seen her a bunch on TV, so it was very cool to play with her and she’s a sweetheart — for the most part. So, it was good.”
On The Traitors, which options 20 fact stars looking to establish who amongst them is “murdering” their costars at night time, enthusiasts must get ready to look a unique facet of Weber — who informed Us that the ABC relationship display didn’t get ready him “at all” for the twisty pageant sequence.
“I learned very quickly doing this show, I loved it so much because it was the exact opposite of The Bachelor,” he mentioned. “The Bachelor was a type of show where I went into — obviously you’re leading with your heart. It’s all emotion-based, and this show required you to do the exact opposite and completely detach from your heart in any emotion, to not let that cloud your judgment in any way and just have it be just a purely mental game. So, it was very different. No similarities whatsoever, but I enjoyed it like no other.”
Whilst Cülcüloğlu, 29, additionally got here from a relationship display, she felt like Love Island ready her slightly extra.
“On Love Island, I was very good at reading people’s minds and I knew who was faking it to make it, and I knew who was playing the game and I also knew who was genuine and wasn’t genuine,” she informed Us. “So, for me, I used all the traits and qualities from Love Island and I took it into this game. However, like Peter said, this is totally different from bikinis and sunbathing. It’s totally in a castle. You’ve got Harry Potter vibes, it feels all eerie. Everyone’s onto everyone. You feel paranoid, you don’t know who to trust. You become crazy almost. But it’s so fun, because I love these dark games to play. It’s good mind games — because everyone plays mind games nowadays, right? Everyone does. You always get manipulated every day, unfortunately. But it was fun, and … the cast is great, so it was nice to make new friends.”
Cannatella, 44, has slightly extra enjoy in a contest setting, showing on 5 seasons of The Problem after her preliminary run on The Actual Global: Las Vegas (2002). The Traitors reunited her with former costars Chris “CT” Tamburello and Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio.
“[When] I saw [CT and Bananas], I was like, ‘Why? Out of all the people in MTV, these two?’ I mean, we don’t have the best past, CT and Bananas and I. So, I felt like it was sort of a disadvantage, to be honest,” she informed Us.
Tamburello, for his phase, insisted he didn’t have a preexisting factor with Cannatella.
“I didn’t know that me and Trishelle had this thing, this drama, this beef,” he informed Us in a separate interview, noting that their Actual Global seasons aired back-to-back earlier than they met on The Inferno in 2004. “We were young. I didn’t understand the dynamic [on Traitors] of, ‘How are you guys going to go along?’ … At the same time, I don’t think she had any animosity toward me. So, to me, coming into this new chapter in my life and I’m doing the show, I’m doing Traitors and I see familiar faces, ‘Oh, Trishelle, oh, Bananas.’ To me, it was like a safe space for me. I hope that they both continue to be a space for me.”
