In an interview with People, CT Tamburello had expressed excitement over his role before the show saying, "We're in a house with people our age, finally." he also felt that The Challenge contestants had an edge over the other contestants because of their rough experiences on the survival show.

"I feel like The Challenge is like Big Brother and Survivor and Fear Factor and any other competition show throw it in there too. And it's all in one. When someone says they come from Survivor or Big Brother or something like that, I feel like, oh yeah, I kind of did that. But they can't say the opposite," he said.

The Traitors is a show that seems like the game 'Among Us', where imposters infiltrate the civilians and murder them when no one's watching. The civilians have to classify and eliminate prospective imposters and emerge victorious to win the prize money.

The imposters try to manipulate the group into voting out civilians in an order to win the game.
