Contestants have confirmed that they actually eat breakfast at their hotel before filming the breakfast scene at the start of the day.
While the show wants the viewer to believe the cast stay over night at the castle, past contestants have confirmed that in reality they spend the night at a close by hotel.
The show is a US version of the original Dutch television format and program of the same name translated to "De Verraders"
For season one they originally filmed the cast meeting for the first time at the "Boat of Garten" station where they boarded a steam train on the Strathspey Railway like they do for The traitors UK. However one of the original contestants had to be removed from the show due to getting covid.
Because of time constraints that scene couldn't be re filmed. Instead the cast was filmed approaching the castle in cars. This is now the default way the cast arrive to the castle at the start of each season.
