Warning: This text comprises spoilers about The Traitors season 3, episode 9.

Nobody suspected Carolyn Wiger as a Traitor. And she or he could have made all of it the best way to the top of The Traitors season 3 due to it. Nonetheless, the Survivor 44 finalist had one other downside, and that downside’s identify was Danielle Reyes.

Carolyn and Danielle merely couldn’t get on the identical web page as Traitors, and as soon as Danielle began floating Carolyn’s identify across the citadel, a civil battle broke out. That battle got here to its epic conclusion on this week’s episode as the 2 as soon as once more locked swords on the Roundtable, with Danielle rising the winner when Carolyn was voted out by the group.

“I’m someone who day-after-day of my life am judged due to who I’m, my variations, my quirks,” she informed her forged mates whereas within the Circle of Fact. "I didn’t wish to join with loads of you as a result of I’m an emotional particular person. Taking part in this recreation, it’s not straightforward for me. I simply wished to have enjoyable. However I’ve to get actual with myself — being a Traitor isn’t enjoyable.”

Properly, the enjoyable — or lack thereof — is now over. Leisure Weekly caught up with Carolyn to see how she was taking her banishment, get her ideas on rival Danielle, and collect some intel on what has not been proven from contained in the citadel partitions. She additionally reveals the one vote that left her “pissed.”

Carolyn Wiger shares reaction to Britney Haynes' Traitors comments: 'F‑‑‑ you, bitch'

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Inform me about this remaining Roundtable. When it began, had been you planning to take a shot at Danielle once more?

CAROLYN WIGER: It was a kind of issues like, in fact I wished to take a shot at her for some time, however is that this the time? Was it deliberate? No, it wasn't. It was sort like: Let's see what occurs. I reacted emotionally. I couldn't take it anymore. So it wasn't deliberate. I had talked with Dylan, I had talked with Gabby. The plan in my head was like, “Okay, simply take out a person, blah, blah, blah.” However I used to be making an attempt to do the entire sit again and simply work with Danielle.

Fairly frankly, after the Ciara vote, that unanimous bulls—, that's not enjoyable. Neither is sitting across the Roundtable and never speaking as a result of you may get banished. It's boring! And I used to be dying inside, and that’s the fact. I used to be actually dying, not solely as a result of I’ve to be together with her within the turret that evening. That is the reality: Simply the considered having to go and try this crap over again, I couldn't take yet one more evening of it.

However what was giving me hope was the dream that I may probably convey Gabby in there and have some enjoyable. And I believed: [Danielle's] obtained nothing on me, so she's not going to get me out. She's been the loudest, most ridiculous one right here. It ain't taking place. So I'm like, I assume I'll go once more and blah, blah, blah, and do the BS turret stuff.

I feel Wes mentioned one thing about, “It's a rookie transfer if you happen to don't have the votes.” I didn't, however look who I'm working with right here! “Hey Tom, can all of us join on this plan?” I knew I couldn't depend on Tom, nor may I depend on Dolores. And I definitely couldn't depend on Britney as a result of she already knew that she's a Traitor. So in my head I'm considering: They obtained some deal happening. She's going to convey her in. So you recognize what? Let me convey Gabby in earlier than she will get Britney. That was in my head. And Ivar… I'm like, woman. Actually, what plan am I supposed to place along with a few of these folks?

Danielle Reyes compares Traitors Roundtable with Carolyn to dodging bullets in The Matrix

A number of the gamers like Ivar and Dylan mentioned that Danielle made extra compelling arguments on the remaining Roundtable. Ivar even mentioned “You misplaced the argument” when he voted for you. It didn’t appear that manner from what I noticed, so why do you suppose they felt that manner?

I do not know! As a result of I'm emotional? The stuff that was mentioned, I used to be like: This isn't taking place proper now. First you come for me nonetheless many episodes in the past. Completely, that was a shock. I didn't anticipate that. And now what are you doing? And I bear in mind saying to her within the turret nonetheless many episodes in the past, “You're actually going to have to return and make up a bunch of stuff about me as a result of you don’t have anything. You’re going to have to only make a bunch of stuff up.” And, properly, that's what she did.

You mentioned in your remaining phrases to the group that “being a Traitor isn’t enjoyable.” How a lot of that was the drama with Danielle, and the way a lot was it the burden of mendacity to folks?

Right here's the deal. And I don't like sounding bitter as a result of it's not cute, however I’ll blame her. It simply wasn't enjoyable. And I really anticipated this expertise to be enjoyable. And I don't suppose that we have to go to that stage of recreation. This isn't Large Brother: All Stars. We’re with actually individuals who they don't even know the place they’re, a few of them. And so they're simply, for my part, right here to have a very good time and have enjoyable, too.

I assume all of us go in for various causes, and definitely, profitable is one in every of them. The extremes that she went by means of. Power is a factor, and so once you're round someone who's shaking and so they're crying… and, I'm okay with tears, however woman, I began to only take it on and it made me really feel gross.

And so with the occasions that I’d join with folks on deep, actual ranges, it felt gross as a result of I'm like: I'm crying as a result of that is real and actual and stuff is going on, after which I see this particular person over right here. That's what was arduous for me. And I get that it is a recreation, but it surely's not essential to play that manner. This isn't Survivor the place all people has an understanding of that. And I assume you may say, “Properly, that's not our downside. We're the avid gamers and we're going to.” However it's not spectacular to me to do this to folks like Lord Ivar or Tom or folks like that.

Learn the room! We don't have to go that excessive. And so, would I’ve appreciated being a Traitor with somebody who was extra enjoyable and never so severe about these items? It simply wasn't enjoyable in that severe mode.

Carolyn Wiger was 'shocked as hell' and 'hurt' to not get any Survivor jury votes

Contemplating how no one suspected you in any respect as a Traitor, how do you suppose you do on this recreation if Danielle is just not within the turret with you?

I gained. I do. Come on! The chess? Oh, that's all it took was the chess? No. No person was suspecting me. No person. I actually am not going to purchase that Danielle simply had these nice relationships with Lord Ivar and Tom. As you see, folks throw these rogue votes. How on earth are you able to give you a plan with a few of these folks?

So what are you considering once you see Tom and Dolores voting for one another, simply burning these votes?

In fact it's annoying! However once more, I’m not going to mislead you. Do you suppose that I truly am anticipating [anything different]? As a result of I bear in mind in the direction of the top, Ivar would say, “I can go residence at any time now.” And I’d go room to room making an attempt, and I bear in mind Dolores was like, “I'm simply finished speaking about this recreation. I'm exhausted.” And I'm like, “Oh my God!"

After which I’ve the dialog with Dylan. I've already given up on Britney as a result of all I'm considering in my head is Britney’s going to the turret. Britney is desirous to go be a Traitor with Danielle. It's finished. I gave up on her, so I'm like, who am I speculated to give you a plan with? However simply primarily based off of every little thing and the way apparent [Danielle] had been, I'm considering: “There's no manner. I don't have something on me. So there's no manner for me to get banished. I can't." So sure, for my part, there have been individuals who knew she was a Traitor and that’s it.

That's a Britney line from Large Brother Reindeer Video games!

It damage. It actually damage. And I ran out of there. I didn't even wish to see their faces as a result of once more, how I checked out it, particularly with Dylan, I used to be like: How dare you? We had our little heart-to-heart earlier than. And I'm like, critically? Oh my gosh, Dylan, you picked her over me? I used to be pissed. It damage. The Dylan one damage. Okay, so let's say you recognize that I'm a Traitor, which you don't, actually. It comes all the way down to 100% folks understanding she's a Traitor. I'm sorry.

You most likely didn't even see it since you had been out of there. However Danielle was actually convulsing on the ground as you had been banished.

I'm glad I didn't see that and wasn't there in particular person. That's not needed. Is that needed on a present like this? Am I sounding bitter? Once more, it's simply not needed. And that is the place it's like: Okay, I'm a gamer, however I'm not the everyday gamer sort. Once more, we're all totally different. We play otherwise. However let's learn the room right here. What are you doing? And do you actually really feel that that’s essential to do on this scenario? I’d say no.

What’s one thing that occurred within the citadel that actually didn’t come out within the episodes?

I do know that Britney loads of the occasions simply felt like, “Oh my gosh, I don't slot in right here.” However you’d by no means know that from seeing it. I'm like, “You appear to be the favored woman.” However I linked together with her very well, so after I noticed her steering in the direction of Danielle, I'm like, “What are you doing?” I wished Britney with me.

Final query: Simpler or more durable than Survivor?

After which he's like, “Simply spit and get it off.” And I simply go, “No, no. I'm sorry. I'm not touching your face. I can't. I'm uncomfortable. I don't wish to."
