Watch the podcast on YouTube!

Traitors Australia Season 3 kicks off with dramatic first exits, and the We Know Traitors podcast brings you exclusive exit interviews with the season’s first banished contestant, Shane Gould, and the first murder victim, Kween Kong. Hosts Pooya, The Duke of Deception, and Annabel guide the conversation, delving into the decisions, dilemmas, and strategies that ended two games all too soon.

Shane Gould opens up about the pressure of making a random swap decision in the premiere’s twist, her struggle with instant alliances, and why the rapid pace of Traitors felt so different from her Survivor experience. She shares the challenges of forming new relationships versus relying on old affiliations and how a roundtable blindside caught her entirely off guard.

Kween Kong joins Annabel for a candid discussion about the social whirlwind inside the mansion. She reveals how sharp instincts and supersonic hearing helped her spot traitors—sometimes just by the sound of jacket rustling. Kween Kong walks listeners through her reads, her regrets about the alliances she didn’t make, and the social politics that come with being both fabulous and a threat from day one.

Key moments discussed:

• Shane’s internal battle over the fairness of the opening swap, and how she tried to remove bias from her decision
• Reflections on the fast social game of Traitors and lessons learned from Survivor
• How Kween Kong used nonverbal cues, like a player’s blush, to sniff out traitors
• Dicko’s “LSD alliance” and the immediate formation of quirky social groups
• The role of fashion and first impressions in Kween Kong’s gameplay and early targeting
