The second season of the Australian television series The Traitors premiered on Network 10 on 13 August 2023. The season was not won by any player as the remaining traitors, Camille Chicheportich, Sam McGlone and Blake Willoughby, each chose to steal the prize pot.
Production
The second season of The Traitors Australia featured celebrities competing alongside members of the general public.
Format
The contestants arrived at the castle and are referred to as the "Faithful". Among them are the "Traitors", a group of contestants secretly selected by the host, Rodger Corser. Each night, the Traitors would decide who to "murder" and that same contestant would leave the game. After the end of each day, where the contestants participated in various challenges to add money to the prize fund, they would participate in the Round Table, where they must decide who to banish from the game, trying to identify the Traitor.
If all the remaining players are Faithful, then the prize money is divided evenly among them. However, if any Traitors remain, they win the entire pot.
