Season 4 of The Traitors has confirmed to be an inhospitable one for players, with the primary two homicide victims being Big Brother and Survivor legends.

BB season 14 champion Ian Terry was the primary one evicted from the fort after he was placed on a short-list by “Secret Traitor” Donna Kelce after which reduce free by slightly-less-secret Traitors Lisa Rinna, Candiace Dillard Basset, and Rob Rausch. (Impolite!)

It was a disappointing early exit for the Large Brother fan favourite, whose popularity clearly preceded him into the home. Why does Ian assume Mama Kelce and the others had it out for him? Is there something he might have completed in another way to keep away from his horrible envelope-opening destiny? And who did he assume have been the Traitors whereas taking part in the sport?

We requested Ian all that and extra, and you’ll both watch or learn the interview beneath.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: The very first thing you stated if you walked in that room and noticed the envelope siting within the chair is “I knew it.” Why do you know it?

IAN TERRY: I imply, I appeared on the folks standing in entrance of their gravestones the day past, and I feel Rob C. and I checked out one another and stated, "Brother, it's most likely gonna be certainly one of us." Simply what the choices have been.

Why do you assume Donna Kelce particularly put you on her quick listing?

She did say that she watches the entire actuality packages, so I consider she simply picked me as, you already know, a Large Brother winner. I feel it was most likely a focused resolution. I feel that's most likely what it was. Maybe [she] thought I used to be smarter or a risk or one thing.

I feel it's fairly clear why then the remainder of the Traitors removed you, for being a gamer. We’ve seen this present earlier than flip into players vs. Bravo, primarily. Are you stunned there have been two Housewives within the turret and 0 Survivor or Large Brother gamers?

I used to be very stunned by that. I assumed there can be no less than one gamer in there. I feel it’s good for the long-term well being of the present that it's a bit bit combined up. Clearly, it was at my and Rob C.'s expense, however it’s what it’s.

You stated “I simply don’t know what I might have completed in another way” after getting murdered. Do you continue to really feel that means?

There's most likely about 1,000,000 micro interactions that I want I had perhaps dealt with in another way, proper? However I don't really feel like there was any concrete factor that I tousled. It very a lot appeared to be: We understand you as clever or a risk or no matter, and that was just about all she wrote. Goodnight, Gracie.

You introduced up Rob Cesternino. A bit of recognized connection: Rob and I did the play-by play in your look on Actuality Gamemasters years in the past. Have been you hoping to strike up an alliance with him particularly?

Oh, I imply, you didn't even need to say it. It was an unstated settlement. That was simply speedy. There was no means I used to be ever gonna do Rob C. improper. And I really feel [that was] vice versa. There was simply no probability.

Whom else did you need to work with?

I wished to work with Tiffany [Mitchell], for positive. I obtained a very good vibe together with her. I obtained a great vibe from all of the players. I appreciated Dorinda [Medley] lots. I assumed she was actually, very nice. And Tara [Lipinski] as effectively, I assumed was simply tremendous, tremendous, tremendous good. Needed to work together with her for positive. That was actually simply who I form of gravitated to. Didn't have lots of time, only a couple cocktail events actually. However I had a good time with them, and people have been some very nice folks. Ron [Funches] was nice additionally, I assumed.

You didn't actually have lots of time to come back to any conclusions, however was there anybody you began to suspect, both accurately or incorrectly, as a Traitor?

The one I used to be pondering probably the most was Rob R., truly. I simply obtained a vibe from him. It wasn't actually even a lot something he did, however I simply thought, like: If I used to be 26 years previous, younger man, I'd wanna be a Traitor too. In order that was my first thought was: Who would even need to be a Traitor? In order that was anyone that I had on my thoughts.

And the form of huge miss, I’ll admit that I assumed that Tiffany most likely was simply because: Properly, there's a Large Brother Traitor. It's not me, due to this fact, it should be her, proper? In order that was a thought that I had. And I used to be form of pondering: Work together with her, it's good to have somebody within the turret to form of communicate to your pursuits.

I need to ask you about one thing Tiffany stated after you have been eradicated. She stated it was actually arduous so that you can come right here and that you just got here since you wished to face your fears. Is that true, and in that case, what fears are these?

Properly, previous to Large Brother 22, I'm positive different houseguests undergo this: You get up each few months, you might have a nightmare that you just're nonetheless within the Large Brother home. You're having to play some silly sport or one thing. And, you already know, Large Brother 22 actually left a very unhealthy style in my mouth, proper?

So for me to return and do that…. I keep in mind seeing folks had stated “I'm stunned even after Large Brother 22 that he would need to do certainly one of these once more.” So it was form of identical to, "You already know what? I'm getting again up after a fall, and I'm doing it once more, and I simply wanna have enjoyable." That's actually it.

It was a enjoyable sport. It was very gentle. There wasn't this form of heaviness. I really feel like Large Brother, it's actually all in regards to the cash. This, it was, you're right here and your motivation to remain is as a result of the sport is so enjoyable to play, you simply need to maintain taking part in. And I feel that that makes all of the distinction on this planet. Truthfully, it does.

What was it like for you, production-wise? Large Brother is 24-7. Right here, you might have some breaks at evening and issues like that.

Actually, a bit odd. Completely different than what I'm used to. Nevertheless, it was very welcome. I feel that that was a nice expertise. And I feel that that's actually a part of what made it form of particular was that you’re handled very effectively throughout these video games, and in between there's time for processing your ideas and stress-free a bit, consuming good meals. You're taken care of. They do exactly such an awesome job. It's superb.

Would you do one other competitors present?

Oh, I might completely do one other competitors present. I actually do get pleasure from going out and doing these. They're lots of enjoyable. In any other case, I'm simply gonna sit right here in my workplace and take a look at an Excel spreadsheet all day. So I might completely do one, completely open to it.

I promised my spouse I might by no means do the full-length, summer-long Large Brother season once more. And albeit, I don't wanna put myself by means of it once more. Would I do a shortened model like they did with Movie star Large Brother? Completely. If it's attention-grabbing, I'd like to do it.

Whom from Large Brother would you prefer to see do The Traitors subsequent?

It's gotta be Eric Stein. I would like him again on my TV. I wanna see Eric play. I simply need to see him play certainly one of these video games once more. My want listing was I wished Danielle Reyes and I wished Eric Stein. Properly, we noticed Danielle Reyes a few occasions. We haven't seen Eric but.
