Content creator Apoorva Mukhija recently sat down to review the latest episodes of The Traitors with co-contestant and rapper Raftaar. In the vlog that Apoorva dropped on YouTube, while she and Raftaar decoded the episodes, comedian Samay Raina also joined them through a video call and questioned them on why they chose to do the show. Later, The Rebel Kid and Raftaar also shared how the show has caused them anxiety and how insulting the eviction process was on The Traitors.
During the vlog, The Rebel Kid received a video call from Samay Raina, where he said, 'Kya kar rahe ho tumlog yaar? Aisi kya majboori aayi tum dono ko… (What are you guys doing? What was the dire need to do this?)' Later, Raftaar also revealed that Samay Raina was also supposed to participate in the show; however, he had to drop out due to date issues. Further, Samay said, 'When you both know so much? Why did you go on The Traitors?'

Apoorva also took a jibe at the tricky editing the show's team has done. Later in the video, she went on to say, 'When I was on the show, I didn't have fun at all. I used to be very stressed about getting murdered, because they would not evict you with dignity. Until you reached the breakfast table, you wouldn't know if you were murdered, so you would do your hair, makeup, etc. And they would just invite you to the video diary room and ask you to leave. Your luggage would be kept packed and in the car. The car would be standing outside, and you were just supposed to leave the property.'
Raftaar also recalled the moment he was evicted from the show, 'While we were shooting and would get murdered or evicted, the team would pack our things and bring them down. We could not even go back to our room then. I left the Circle of Shaq room and went straight to the car. In a few minutes, my luggage was loaded and I was shifted. The next day, early morning, 6 am was my flight.'
Apoorva also revealed how an anxiety-inducing music would be played in the Circle of Shaq room and further shared that getting murdered was all the more insulting than getting evicted. 'You at least got a chance to say bye if others evicted you. There would be so much anxiety, you would see everyone going down the stairs and waiting for your turn. Amazon did a great job of making us anxious, ' The Rebel Kid said.
Raftaar also revealed how every contestant had gotten frustrated after a point. He shared, 'Even I have abused a lot on the show, though I hurled those abuses on myself, you don't deserve so much hate because you cuss.' Responding to Raftaar, Apoorva said, 'I am totally at fault for abusing the show for no reason, I would not even realize that I was being recorded on camera. I had lost the plot and just wanted to go home. I had said this in every video diary, which was not shown.'
The Traitors streams on Amazon Prime every Thursday, and the show has been getting lots of negative response from the audience as well as the contestants.
