Physically, the missions were also manageable thanks to
my training. I was able to keep up with the demands of the
game, which helped me make it to the final episode. I owe
my time in the Defence Forces to why I did so well – it taught
me how to work under pressure and stay focused.
However, things took a dramatic turn when I was
blackmailed by the Traitors. I was torn, but ultimately, I
decided to switch sides. It was a difficult decision, and I
found it hard to adjust to my new role as a Traitor. I had to
work hard to gain the trust of my new allies, and it was a
challenge I wasn't sure I'd overcome.
One of the most surprising aspects of the show was the
sense of camaraderie among contestants. Despite being in
a competition, we formed genuine bonds and friendships.
I particularly clicked with Nick, and our bromance was a
highlight of the experience. We had each other's backs, and
I think we both genuinely enjoyed each other's company.
Of course, that made the betrayals and eliminations all the
more gut-wrenching.
As a Traitor, I had to navigate the delicate balance of gaining
trust while secretly working against the Faithful's. It was a
tough task, but I enjoyed the strategic aspect of the game.
In the end, my time as a Traitor came to an end, and I was
banished in the final episode.
Looking back, I'd say my experience on Traitors Ireland
was life-changing. I learned so much about myself and the
people around me. The show was a true test of character,
and I'm grateful to have been a part of it.
I was just one of 22 contestants, each with our own story
and motivations. We were a diverse and dynamic group,
and I think that added to the richness of the experience.
Kelley, Oyin, and Vanessa ultimately won the game, and they
deserved it – they were a formidable team.
The experience was unforgettable, and it's a show that
resonates with the audience. It's a gripping, unpredictable
ride that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
