Daily Mail  

The Traitors is set to reach an explosive conclusion on Friday night, bringing an end to weeks of paranoia, backstabbing and own goals in TV's biggest game of psychological warfare. Meet The Traitors final five: The highs and lows of Evie, Harry, Jaz, Mollie, Andrew as TV's most dastardly game of deception comes to an end Within a few short weeks, Harry Clark has gone from being a dependable and much-liked military engineer into a ruthless, back-stabbing killer In astonishing scenes, Harry burst out of his shell to overthrow Paul Gorton and threw him under the bus during a round table, going on to become one of the most ruthless players Harry's military training has ensured he remains calm under pressure while he has previously experienced a brush with fame owing to his girlfriend Anna Maynard The Traitors Harry Clark Within a few short weeks, Harry has gone from being a dependable and much-liked military engineer into a ruthless, back-stabbing killer. Another mystery surrounds where the players stay during filming, with the show giving the impression that they stay inside the castle The Traitors is famously shot inside the 19th Century Ardross Castle, which boasts 30 bedrooms and is located 25 miles north of Inverness The series often shows clips of the contestants in their rooms, with luxury four-poster beds and elegant free-standing bathtubs However, the stars actually stay at a £70-a-night airport hotel, The Courtyard by Marriott, which is a 40-minute drive from the castle Contestants are also not allowed to roam freely around the Highland castle, only having access to the library, the small bar, kitchen and the billiards room Is the show scripted? While there are some series that do rely heavily on scripted scenes, The Traitors is very much real, with the players given no direction Series one finalist Wilfred Webster even said that the contestants 'forgot about the cameras' Aaron added that the very heated arguments that viewers love come about naturally, and insisted the producers never got involved in their discussions Producers also use clever tactics to increase the paranoia and tension, such as keeping the air conditioning on full blast in the round table room, to make it freezing cold Ahead of each banishment, they also play the contestants the song The Hanging Tree from the Hunger Games to keep them on edge Who picks the Traitors? The show is edited very cleverly to amp up the tension and also to ensure all the drama fits into three episodes a week, but behind-the-scenes it is actually slightly different to how it appears on TV The shoots can go on for hours and the week is jam-packed from Monday to Saturday, but series one winner Meryl Williams divulged that they do get Sundays off In order to film multiple contestants' confessionals at once, there are in fact four or five confessional rooms, that are all identical to each other The dramatic murders are also not quite as they appear, with the players not actually being killed at nighttime, which would mean they would be up all hours or woken in the middle of the night Series one's John McManus revealed that the Faithfuls are instead murdered in the morning after arriving at the castle They are allowed to have booze, as seen on the show with fan-favourite Diane Carson being poisoned with fizzy rosé but there is a two drink limit in place Is the breakfast spread as delicious as it looks?
