The Traitors (Fox ORGs The Traitors Season 1)

The Traitors is the first season of The Traitors by Fox ORGs. The season premiered on March 5, 2023, and concluded with the Live Finale on April 4, 2023, when Alisha and Nate were crowned the Winners as the two remaining Traitors.

Pre-Season
The first season of The Traitors was confirmed during the Finale of Survivor: Secret Island. A reveal trailer was posted during the Finale, which was held on February 9, 2023, with applications for the season opening on the same day. Before the season commenced, it was announced that 20 players would be competing in the season, although this was changed to 22 players, a twist not revealed until the premiere. Applications closed on March 1, 2023, when it was announced 38 applications were received.

Gameplay
The format of this season is largely similar to the UK and US formats of The Traitors, with the basic premise being that if any Traitors remain at the end of the game, the Traitors win, but if only Faithfuls remain, then everyone left at the end wins. Four initial Traitors were selected on Day 1, notably 1 more than the amount selected for the UK series, despite hosting the same amount of players. Each episode, an immunity challenge would be held, with the winner being granted a Murder Shield to save themselves from that episode's murder. Sometimes, a Super Shield would be available to protect one player from both banishment and murder. An Advantage Hunt would be held during the murder phase of each episode to gain some advantages, such as an anonymous extra vote and an anonymous message to another contestant. The Death Row twist from multiple international seasons of the show (known as the "on trial" twist in the UK and US versions) was featured in this season.
