Mark Ballas believes that if a player suspects someone is a traitor, they should not be aggressive about it because being outspoken about their suspicions makes the player a target.

“you don't want to like as soon as you get a a sniff be like it's them, it's them, it's them. Because you're it's over for you.”

The producers utilized the secret traitor twist to manipulate the show's popularity, which was unnecessary.

“To production being involved to producing a show because making Donna Kelsey the secret traitor was a very much play into getting, you know, the people to watch and and and roping the Swifties in and all that. And I and I get it. They're trying to produce a show once again and get people to watch.”

The decision to make Donna Kelce the secret traitor was a poor choice by the show's producers.

“But I didn't love the play on Donna being the secret traitor. I really thought it was going to be one of the gamers. I thought it was Natalie.”
