Also available on YouTube!

We Know the Traitors is back as host Pooya sits down with Mark Zgoda, freshly eliminated from Traitors: New Blood episode 7. As the latest faithful to exit the game, Mark opens up about high-stress castle living, snack-based alliances, and how quick thinking and a tossed apple shaped suspicions this season.

In this exit interview, Mark and Pooya break down the memorable “Fruitgate” apple incident and why Mark never saw it as a true red flag. Mark shares how his background as a nervous eater played into his castle habits, and he reflects on key connections with players like Joe and Katie. The discussion also shines a light on how Mark’s strategic perspective—targeting strong traitor candidates rather than flying under the radar—shaped his approach and contributed to his fate in the game.

Listen in as they cover:

Mark’s take on the infamous apple pass and why he didn’t see it as a traitor’s move

Insights into Mark’s close alliances, particularly with Joe, and how those bonds impacted his trajectory

The challenges of balancing humility and smarts in front of the cast, including moments where nerves led to simple mistakes

Mark’s criteria for suspecting traitors based on voting patterns and why he discounted certain players from being traitors

Reflections on how Mark might have played differently as a traitor, and whether being too trustworthy worked against him

As the faithful’s numbers keep shrinking and suspicions mount, how will shifting strategies shape the road ahead? Does forging strong social bonds protect or endanger players in this castle’s cutthroat environment?

Join Pooya and Annabel as they break down episode 7 of the Traitors UK Celebrity Season 2, where the faithfuls and traitors play an increasingly strategic, and sometimes messy, game of suspicion and deception. With alliances quietly shifting and theories swirling, Michael Sheen’s leadership stands out, Ross Kemp’s exit leaves a mark, and theories about squeaky floorboards and crypt assignments keep the roundtable buzzing.
