“The production wanted to drive me home” • Didn’t get a single vote during the season • This is how the win should be celebrated
The second season of “The Traitors” is over and this year three traitors are the winners, the forensic technician Kelda Stagg, the defense lawyer Thomas Bodström and the ex-policeman Nadim Ghazale, who was recruited as a traitor during the course of the season.
– It felt so great to win with the two of them, I like them so much. There are none I would rather have won with, says Kelda Stagg to TV4.
The night before the finale, the traitors came up with a plan where they promised to stand by each other’s side and win together.
– We took care of it. If you take it in hand, you are serious, then I fully trusted it. It was Thomas’s suggestion. He said that it is much more fun to win together than to win alone, and I agree 100 percent with that, she continues.
Kelda doesn’t think she would have survived long on the show if she hadn’t been designated as a traitor.
– I had loaded up for and studied a winner from the USA. I stepped into the role that she played, then it became a little easier for me. That role is so different from me personality-wise. When my friends watch this, they think it’s really unpleasant, but it’s so fun to see that I succeeded, says Kelda.
Was close to being washed before the final of Traitors
Unlike Kelda and Nadim, Thomas did not receive a single vote during the season.
– Which surprises me deeply. But it could also be a coincidence, says Thomas.
– I tried to be friends with everyone. Partly, I voted for those who were about to leave. Then there was no one left to take revenge. When a suspicion arose against me, I managed to get it through that it would be murdered that night. It is necessary to cut them off at the root, he continues.
But it was close that Thomas snubbed the win. He now says he was close to being disqualified after suffering a retinal detachment.
– It was actually a bit dramatic. I had emergency surgery the next day. I was so in the bubble that I didn’t have a thought to interrupt then. The production wanted to drive me home but I stood my ground, says Thomas.
– Now afterwards I have been told, by Katia today actually, that I was close to being washed, he continues.
That’s how the win should be celebrated
The three winners get to share the winnings and the plan is to celebrate the win together.
– We go to the pub, and maybe go on a trip or something. We are thinking of inviting the others as well. First, the three of us will celebrate at the pub, then invite the others too, says Thomas.
Kelda also plans to surprise her mother.
– She is the most selfless person I know. I look forward to showing her appreciation in a big way, she says.
Kelda praises the production as well as the presenter Dragomir Mrsic, as does Thomas.
– Unbelievably fun, fantastic! I have not experienced anything like it, he says.
