This house would prefer to play as a traitor than a faithful
Infoslide

You are a middle class grandma who has been selected to take part in a popular reality show called 'The Traitors'. The 20 odd participants play as either a 'traitor' or a 'faithful' where only a few (usually three) play as traitors. Every night the traitors convene to decide which faithful to murder (they leave the show), and every evening all the participants gather around a table to discuss and vote on which participant to banish from the show, the participant will then reveal whether they are a faithful or traitor before they leave. Throughout the game faithful and traitors play as a team to build up a pot of money. At the end of the show when it is down to around five participants, the participants decide whether they want to banish any more participants, where faithful or traitor status are not revealed. If all faithful are left they split the money between them equally, however if a traitor is left they take home all the money.

There are currently about 1000 Fire Camp participants fighting the wildfires in Los Angeles.
