Reality star Gabby Windey recently opened up exclusively to PEOPLE about a pivotal moment on Peacock’s hit competition show, The Traitors, describing it as ‘earth-shattering’. As part of the World’s Most Beautiful issue interview, the 34-year-old looked back at some of the standout highlights from her time on the show.
In the season 3 premiere of The Traitors, RuPaul’s Drag Race star Bob the Drag Queen christened Zac Efron’s younger brother, Dylan Efron, with the drag name “Miss Guided”. This naming ceremony took place during a roundtable discussion where suspicions of betrayal were running high, leading to a tense and dramatic reveal. The seasoned drag performer skillfully delivered the surprise, leaving both cast members and viewers stunned.
The Emmy-winning competition series, The Traitors, sets the stage for an intense murder mystery game within an ancient castle in Scotland. Contestants, who are well-known faces from reality TV, are assigned either as faithful or traitors in secret. Throughout their stay, they must navigate high-stakes missions while traitors work undercover to protect their true identity. The ultimate goal is for the faithfuls to eliminate all traitors to claim the prize pot, but one remaining traitor could snatch the entire jackpot for themselves.
Season 3’s cast of reality TV veterans, including familiar names like Rob Mariano, Carolyn Wiger, Tom Sandoval, and Danielle Reyes, battled it out until only four faithfuls remained standing. In a surprise move, the final four decided to end the game and split the substantial cash prize among themselves, deviating from the typical competitive nature of such shows to opt for a collective win.
Gabby Windey, along with Dylan Efron, Dolores Catania, and Ivar Mountbatten emerged victorious in the end, with their strategic gameplay leading to a shared win of $204,300. Windey had initially planned to utilise her earnings towards her upcoming wedding to partner Robby Hoffman, but the couple secretly tied the knot in a private ceremony in Las Vegas earlier this year. Windey humorously pondered the decision to safeguard her prize money amidst economic uncertainties.
The Traitors has been hailed as a crash course in a different kind of reality TV, challenging contestants with complex scenarios and interpersonal dynamics. As the show continues to captivate audiences with its gripping twists and turns, fans eagerly anticipate the announcement of a potential fourth season. With its unique premise and star-studded cast, The Traitors stands out as a compelling addition to the realm of reality competition series.
