The Traitors US Season 2 Cast Dish to Screen Rant
The Traitors US season 2's cast members, including Deontay Wilder, Kevin Kreider, and John Bercow, share their experiences and insights from the series in an exclusive interview with Screen Rant. From their backgrounds to the challenges they faced, the cast opens up about their time on the show.
Introduction
The Traitors US season 2's cast welcomed a group of reality stars and entertainment personalities, including Deontay Wilder, Kevin Kreider, and John Bercow, who chatted with Screen Rant about their time on the series. While Kevin has been a part of Bling Empire in the past, his experiences are primarily of an actor with scripted content, while Deontay and John come from vastly different backgrounds from the rest of the cast. As a former heavyweight champion boxer, Deontay's background would lead to some presumptions that couldn't be further from the truth. John, alternately, is a former UK parliament member who has tremendous communication skills, which isn't exactly a surprise.
Coming into The Traitors US season 2 without reality TV competition experience, the cast members were working against some of the best in the business as they did their best to try and figure out who the traitors on the series were. With reality TV titans like Big Brother's Janelle Pierzina, Survivor's Sandra Diaz-Twine, and The Challenge's Johnny 'Bananas' Devenanzio working to identify the Traitors alongside them, Deontay, John, and Kevin brought fresh perspectives into the mix. Though they looked suspicious at times for their lack of experience, they often made up for their suspicious behavior in due time.
With Kevin, John, and Deontay all being named faithful during the initial traitor selection, the group was immediately working to try and identify who was hiding among them. While Kevin and John quickly had suspicion put on them, Deontay was able to get off relatively easily for the first several episodes of the season. Despite pointing the finger at the incorrect Faithfuls, the group was still doing their best to try and identify the Traitors among them. As The Traitors US season 2 continues, John, Kevin, and Deontay will hopefully keep bringing some of the more entertaining, engaging moments of the season.
Challenges and Surprises
When asked about the one thing they were able to take from their past experiences and use to their advantage in the game, the cast members provided intriguing insights. Kevin Kreider, Deontay Wilder, and John Bercow all agreed that there was nothing in their past experiences that could adequately prepare them for the challenges they faced on the show.
Deontay Wilder expressed that the most unexpectedly difficult part of the game for him was the connection with so many people. He shared that as a people's person, the experience of meeting and getting to know people from different backgrounds was both exciting and challenging for him.
Kevin Kreider added to this, highlighting the intensity of the competition as the hardest part. He emphasized the fast-paced nature of the game and the emotional demand it placed on the participants, particularly in comparison to his experiences in scripted and unscripted content.
John Bercow echoed their sentiments, emphasizing the lack of time for reflection as a major challenge in the game. He mentioned that the quick judgments required in the game were different from his usual approach, but he found the excitement of the unknown to be attractive about taking part in the show.
Reflections and Perspectives
The cast members also reflected on their experiences and shared their perspectives on playing as a traitor or a faithful in the game. John Bercow expressed that he would choose to be a faithful again, aiming to do better if given the chance. He emphasized the value of trying to fail better each day, both in the game and in life.
Deontay Wilder, on the other hand, revealed that if he could do it over again, he would choose to be a traitor. Drawing from his background and comfort with smaller groups, he felt that the role of a traitor suited him better.
Kevin Kreider humorously expressed his preference to play as a traitor, citing the calmness of breakfast and the potential for more screen time. He playfully noted the show's title, emphasizing the appeal of the traitor role.
The insightful reflections and perspectives shared by the cast members provide a deeper understanding of their experiences on the show and their approach to the game dynamics.
