The Traitors Season 4: Netty and Ross’s Shocking Connection Revealed
The Traitors Season 4: Netty and Ross’s Shocking Connection Revealed
The fourth season of The Traitors has finally landed on BBC One, and it’s already serving up some jaw-dropping surprises. One of the most unexpected twists is the connection between contestants Netty and Ross. As they stepped into the grand Scottish castle, Netty recognized a familiar face and wasted no time in revealing their connection. But was this a clever game strategy or a genuine surprise? Let’s dive in and explore.
How Are Netty and Ross Connected?
In the premiere episode, Netty and Ross shared that they’ve known each other for years, having met through a mutual friend. According to Mike Cotton, the executive producer and Creative Director at Studio Lambert, this connection was purely coincidental. It was uncovered during thorough background checks when producers noticed that the pair followed each other on social media.
“It was completely unintentional, and we actually cast them as individuals,” Mike shared at a press event held at Electric Cinema in Notting Hill, London, in December. “We conduct extensive background checks on all participants, and I believe that’s when we discovered their social media connection. We knew there was a slight link, but we were unsure if they would recognize each other or how they would react.”
Instead of removing them from the cast due to their connection, the producers decided to keep them in, thinking it would add an interesting dynamic to the game. This decision has certainly spiced up the season with an extra layer of intrigue.
Did Netty Make the Right Move by Revealing Her Connection to Ross?
Netty and Ross aren’t the first contestants to know each other on The Traitors. Previous seasons have seen various dynamics at play:
- Season One: Alex and Tom had a secret relationship that was dramatically revealed by Tom to divert suspicion from Alex, who was under scrutiny as a potential Traitor.
- Season Two: Mother and son duo, Ross and Diane, kept their relationship hidden with plans to “divide and conquer” as Faithfuls.
- Season Three: Sisters Maia and Armani declared their connection early on, building trust with their fellow contestants.
Revealing your connection early can help build trust with other contestants, but keeping it hidden can serve as a powerful secret weapon for later in the game. However, if the connection is discovered earlier than planned, it could shatter trust and risk potential banishment.
The Traitors continues to enthrall audiences with its strategic gameplay and unexpected twists. Don’t miss out on the action—tune in to BBC One and iPlayer to follow the journey of Netty, Ross, and the other contestants as they navigate the complexities of the game.
