Overview
In the show, three of 18 contestants take on the role of Verrader (Traitor/Betrayer), and all other contestants take on the role of Getrouwe (Faithful). The faithful do not know who the traitors are, but viewers of the show are made aware in the first episode. Each night, the traitors gather in secret to decide whom they wish to eliminate from the game; this contestant is said to have been killed and does not show up at the next morning's breakfast. [4] In each episode, the contestants take part in a challenge to earn silver bars, which can be won in the end. In some challenges, contestants can also win a shield, which protects them from elimination by the traitors that night. After completing a challenge, the contestants return to the castle to take part in the Raad (Council) – a voting round in which all contestants cast a vote on who should be eliminated from the game. In this round, the faithful hope to eliminate a traitor from the game. [4] The eliminated persons reveal, before leaving, whether they were either a traitor or a faithful contestant.
In the first season of the show, the contestants played a game to decide the winner of the silver bars in the last episode. [5] The two finalists independently wrote down either Verraad (Betrayal) or Trouw (Faithful). If both chose Trouw, then they split the prize, but if one person chose Verraad then that person won all the silver bars. If both chose Verraad then the runner-up won all the silver bars. In the second season of the show, the team with the most players remaining played this game to decide the winner(s) of the silver bars. [5] In the third season, the game was not played, and instead the traitors would win if at least one traitor were remaining in the end.
Diederik Jekel, Kees Boot, and Holly Mae Brood played the role of traitor in the first season of the show. [6] In the first season, contestants managed to accumulate 22 silver bars over the course of the show. [7] In the final, Samantha Steenwijk and Chatilla van Grinsven ended up splitting the silver bars. [7] After the show, they decided to share their winnings with the runner-up Loiza Lamers. [8] Stefano Keizers, Ortál Vriend and Jamie Westland played the role of traitor in the second season of the show. In the third season, five people ended up playing the role of traitor; the three traitors selected at the beginning, Maria Fiselier, Katinka Simonse, and Sander Huisman, as well as Jan Slagter and Jordy Huisman. The faithful were the winners in both the second and third seasons of the show. [9] [10]
Contestants need to complete a psychological test before participating, and the show also offers psychological help afterwards. [11]
The show is produced by IDTV and PosVideo in collaboration with RTL Nederland. [12]
