Aaron Evans Reveals Behind-the-Scenes Secrets from The Traitors

Aaron Evans, the winner of the first season of The Traitors, recently sat down for an exclusive interview with Casino Guru USA. Evans, who was selected as a faithful in the very first episode, remained one all the way through to the end, winning the prize fund alongside two other faithfuls.

Evans was cast through an Instagram page dedicated to real estate, where a casting agent reached out to him. He revealed that he was told by a producer that he was on the show and not to pull out during stage 4 of the casting process. "I didn’t want to do it. And this was stage 4, and there’s 5 stages. And I actually got told by one of the producers on stage 4, 'you’re on the show, do not fucking pull out now. You’re about to have the last stage where they basically are going to run through a bunch of stuff, and then they’ll tell you that you’re going to be on the show. But you just have to act surprised.' And I was like, 'okay then, cool.' So I just went for it, and yeah, ended up on the show."

One of the behind-the-scenes secrets Evans shared was that the contestants were put on an energy drink ban by episode 4 or 5 because they were looking gaunt. "We all got put on an energy drink ban…by episode 4 or 5, there was a roundtable where we were all a bit gaunt, and production were like, ‘Okay, we can’t give them energy drinks anymore.’" He also revealed that contestants were taken to a hotel after filming, blindfolded, and put in their rooms to sleep. "You simply just go back to a hotel… you get to the hotel, they blindfold you, take you up to your room, put you in your room."
