Bachelor Nation’s Gabby Windey poked fun at her strategy on season 3 of The Traitors, which largely involved pointing the finger at the men.
“Me accusing all the m*n as traitors just because,” Gabby, 34, captioned a TikTok on Wednesday, January 22, of her posing for photos in the castle where the hit Peacock series was filmed. “Hehe jk 👀👀👀.”
The third season gave Gabby plenty of options for potential Traitors including fellow Bachelor Nation star Wells Adams as well as Jeremy Collins, Tony Vlachos, Bob the Drag Queen, Bob Harper, Dylan Efron, Lord Ivar Mountbatten, Sam Asghari, Rob “Boston Rob” Mariano, Wes Bergmann and Derrick Levasseur.
Meanwhile, the likes of Ciara Miller, Chrishell Stause, Carolyn Wiger, Britney Haynes, Danielle Reyes and Nikki Bella were safe from Gabby’s list of suspects. Inspired by Dutch series De Verraders, The Traitors brings together celebrities, especially reality TV stars from different franchises — including Survivor, Big Brother, Real Housewives and more — as they compete in a mafia-style game for up to $250,000.
Host Alan Cumming recently opened up about how season 3 has evolved since the show became a pop culture phenomenon.
“Everything has been upped a bit and the contestants bring their energy and their backstories. So that makes it a whole new thing as well. I love the fact of how each season is so different to the one before, even though, structurally, it has a similarity,” he told Newsweek earlier this month. “The ending to this one is not like anything we’ve seen in the previous two seasons.”
He continued: “There’s bits in it that are so intense and brutal. I actually thought I was going to have to break up a fight at round table one time. It was really terrifying. I don’t break up many fights.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Cumming, 59, recalled plans behind the scenes amid the show’s overwhelming popularity.
“Partly because the second season was so successful, there was a pressure to not just repeat ourselves, it actually upped the ante. When you do a show like this, the first season nobody knows what’s going to happen. It’s virgin territory,” he continued. “Then, of course, people watch it. So it’s a question of pulling the rug from under them and keeping it fresh and having these twists and surprises. Even with my costumes and everything, we upped the ante on that. I just think it was a combination of all these things.”
Cumming teased that season 3 “hit its stride,” adding, “It is bigger. I’m sort of a cult leader. I have my followers. I didn’t have followers in the other seasons. So now I’ve gone from just like a dandy, lord of the manor in his castle, to official cult leader. I’m fine with it.”
New episodes of The Traitors are released Thursdays on Peacock at 9 p.m. ET.
