‘The Traitors’ Season 3: How to watch the finale, reunion and which players are left

Image

Fans of “The Traitors” have not known peace since last week’s cliffhanger that left viewers distraught on whether or not “Big Brother” star Danielle Reyes will be banished.

Yet viewers will finally have clarity after the Season 3 finale drops this week and a winner (or winners) is revealed.

The latest season of the Emmy-winning reality competition series has been called messy, impassioned, cut throat and utterly hilarious since the Jan. 9 premiere. It’s followed an extremely chaotic batch of traitors who have gone after each other more than the faithfuls they are competing against.

The finale will also reveal who is the seer, a new twist where the winner of last week’s mission will have the ability to see whether a player of their choice is a faithful or traitor.

Only six contestants remain, including traitors Reyes and fellow “Big Brother” alum Britney Haynes, who was recently recruited. Here’s what to know ahead of the finale and reunion episode.

“The Traitors” Season 3 finale drops Thursday, March 6 at 9 p.m. EST/6 p.m. PST on Peacock.

“The Traitors” Season 3 reunion episode will drop alongside the finale on Thursday, March 6 at 9 p.m. EST/6 p.m. PST on Peacock.

All three seasons of “The Traitors,” as well as the two seasons each of “The Traitors UK” (hosted by Claudia Winkleman) and “The Traitors Australia” (hosted by Rodger Corser), are available to stream exclusively on Peacock.

Subscriptions begin at $7.99 a month.

“Big Brother Reindeer Games” stars Danielle Reyes and Britney Haynes are last two traitors going into the Season 3 finale.

Reyes has been a traitor since the season premiere, while Haynes is new recruit. Three original traitors have all been banished: “RuPaul’s Drag Race” winner Bob The Drag Queen as well as “Survivor” alumni “Boston” Rob Mariano and Carolyn Wiger.

There are six players going into “The Traitors” Season 3 finale, though one is expected to be banished at the episode’s start due to last week’s cliffhanger.

Traitors’ Dylan Efron Reveals Why He Posed For Those Viral Thirst Traps

Image

Traitors star Dylan Efron, younger brother of Zac Efron, shared behind-the-scenes details about the impromptu photoshoot that took the internet by storm.

Dylan Efron isn’t Miss Guided when it comes to his amateur modeling skills.

Case in point: the carousel of photos from a photoshoot at the beach that the Traitors star posted to social media back in August. And as the snaps have caught fans eyes as amid his breakout appearance on the Peacock reality series, he shared insight into what was going on behind the scenes of the impromptu shoot.

“My girlfriend took the photo,” Dylan told Erin Lim Rhodes in an exclusive interview on E! News’ The Rundown. “This was more that I’m trying to make her laugh as she’s taking photos.”

However, the 33-year-old—the younger brother of Zac Efron—wasn’t quick to post the photos, admitting he didn’t hit the upload button until “months later.”

But it was only after the third season of Traitors—hosted by Alan Cumming—premiered that curious fans did a deep dive into his social media and the photos made their way to the surface. discovered the flicks during an Instagram investigation.

“I was like, ‘Ah, I never posted that, it’s kinda funny,’” he joked. “I hid it in a carousel and then the show comes out. It was found out pretty quick.”

But while Dylan showcased was more confident to pose for the sexy pics while in the name of fun with his girlfriend, he also teased bringing a different persona to life—the drag persona Bob The Drag Queen bestowed him with during the Traitors round table.

“We’ve talked about maybe bringing Miss Guided to life,” Dylan explained. “I’m only going to do it with him, so we’ll see what we come up with.”

In addition to bonding with the RuPaul’s Drag Race star, the Down to Earth alum that one of the connections he made during his time in Scotland was with Tom Sandoval, despite “not knowing much of him” before arriving on set.

One thing he learned for sure, the Vanderpump Rules star will always give it his all—as demonstrated in the baby doll lullaby challenge.

“We hear the mission and then it takes an hour before that mission starts,” he said. “Alan reads the mission, immediately he starts doing vocal warmups, and we’re all just like, ‘No, stop.’”

“He goes to the medic, he’s like, ‘I need a cough drop,’” he added. “And we’re just like, ‘Tom we’ve got an hour bro like stop.’ But that’s Tom, he gives 100 percent.”

The Real-Life Diet of Dylan Efron, Who’s Big on Core Workouts and Indonesian Herbs

Image

Dylan Efron’s fitness journey began long before he was cast on The Traitors. He first began sculpting his physique while attending Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where he fell in love with aquatic workouts. That’s also where he began to adopt new dietary habits, some more short-lived than others. The swimming led to an interest in an even more grueling form of exercise, which he undertook competitively (successfully so).

All the while, Efron, now 33, was building a reputation in several Hollywood productions, including American Sniper, The Accountant, and Ready Player One. As a producer on Down to Earth with Zac Efron, he saw his older brother travel the world attempting to find sustainable ways to live, providing a glimpse into the world of wellness. Dylan remains big on living a happy, healthy lifestyle, which has led to the washboard abs and winning smile that gave him heartthrob status on The Traitors, a murder mystery-style reality game show where deception is key. “Dude, the show was just so much fun,” he says. “I’m out of my element, I’m not a big arguer in real life. It was hard for me to go into that setting with a bunch of people who do that professionally, but I think life’s all about those experiences. I’d rather have those experiences over money any day. It was a dream.”

Efron let us in on his workout and kitchen routines, his love of taurine, and getting to the top 1% of one of the hardest physical competitions in the world.

Dylan Efron: It was college. In high school, soccer was my sport, but I prided myself on being good at every sport. I was just too tall and lanky, so I was kind of one year behind for high school sports. I think I went to college at 160 [pounds], 6’1″. After one year of college, I hit 200 pounds.

That was really when I got into traditional bodybuilding workouts, but for strength. It was the old 5×5 split: five sets of five, heavy as you can go, and I just really put on weight and a little bit of fat, pretty much 40 pounds that year. I was always into it—working out in high school since I was playing sports, but that was the first year where I started lifting heavy.

I got super lucky. My freshman year, the gym was under construction, then the rest of my time there we had a brand new, elite gym. I had everything I could have wanted. It was honestly the perfect place. That’s also where I got into swimming.

I was always fast as a runner, and I always wanted to do triathlons. I figured I’d be good at it because I was good at running. So, I ended up teaching myself how to swim just by watching YouTube videos—and that’s before YouTube was what it is now, there was not as much to choose from. I got pretty good at triathlon. That’s my best sport.

Oh yeah. I was terrible, awful. Then I just stuck with it all the way through probably [age] 28, and I was ranked in the top 1% of my age group for Ironmans. So, I got good at swimming.

I vividly remember making oatmeal as my morning breakfast and putting chocolate whey protein in. It’s so gross looking back at it. That was definitely the time where I was putting on the mass, so I just wanted to eat as much as possible.

My nutrition journey has gone through a lot. I was pretty much vegan when I was racing competitively. Then I did my blood work and realized it was not working for me. The amount of training I was doing and the lack of supplements and the lack of just meat and stuff like that, my hormones were starting to get messed up. I was deficient in a lot of stuff. That was kind of a wake-up call. My nutrition has gone all over the place. I’ve done it all. I’ve gone from heavy meat, to pretty much vegan, then I was doing Bulletproof for a while.

What’s stuck is just kind of taking the best of everything and doing everything in moderation. Now [my nutrition is] much more balanced, and as good as it’s been, I think. It’s choosing simple rules that you can follow easily. Any of those tough diet rules where you can’t have sweets, you can’t have milk, all that stuff is very hard to follow. You have to give yourself some grace.

I got fancy. When I was vegan, I was making these oatmeals that were huge. They’d have almond butter and berries—I started making gourmet oatmeals! Now I don’t touch it. This year is about going back to how I was raised, finding healthy snacks like cottage cheese, trying to have whole foods as snacks, that’s been my thing. It’s so easy, especially in LA, to have health bars, but they all have sucralose and all this stuff in it. I’ve just gone back to having hard-boiled eggs and cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, stuff like that. It’s been good for me.

I think the competitive side of me wanted to join a triathlon, but I didn’t want to join and lose. I wanted to actually be good enough to win my first one. But honestly, the thing that was most appealing is, look, I’m 6’1″ 180 pounds. I’m not going to be a professional basketball player. I was never the best at any of the sports I’ve played. Triathlon was one where you really can get the best if you train the best, and that was really attractive to me. Like, if I can push myself harder than every other person, it’s a race against myself. I don’t have to be the best at one discipline, I just have to be towards the top at all three.

I really liked that, and that’s kind of what drew me to the sport. I could be a fierce competitor with myself. When I was racing a triathlon, it never felt like I was racing with other people. It was just like, “I’m going to go out there and do the best I can do,” and that was really cool for me.

Yeah, I won that first one. It was a Malibu triathlon. Then I won the Hermosa Beach triathlon a couple years later. Then I started doing Ironmans. My best, I got second in Ironman for my age group. But overall I was in the top 1% based on time, so it was cool.

No. I just did a marathon last year with no training, which was interesting. When I did that blood work, I really cooled off on cardio. I still did it—like a stationary bike, and I still do a lot—but much more like a normal person. I’m doing cardio twice a week now, but it’s all still in there. So, I signed up for a marathon on a month’s notice, hadn’t run that year, and then ended up still getting three and a half hours, which I was pretty stoked with.

A little bit, yeah. It’s a little bit of an ADD. I just get obsessed with new sports. Going back to high school, I’m never going to be the best at anything, but I love learning new stuff. I get addicted. When I get addicted to something—like right now it’s tennis—that’s all I can think about. It makes it hard to stick with, but I wouldn’t change that for the world. I love discovering new passions. That’s really where my health journey’s at. I no longer want to be ripped and huge or anything like that—I just want to be healthy.

Breakfast is not essential for me. I’m big on caffeine, so I have my coffees. If I wake up starving, I will eat. It’s just one of those things. I would say my go-to breakfast would be avocado toast, just because I don’t eat that much carbs. I’m not eating bread all the time. But in the morning it’s great with the avocado, it cuts that glycemic index boost that you get from eating bread. I like to do butter and avocado on sourdough with eggs, or just do eggs, or a protein shake, or a smoothie with spinach, frozen berries, and protein powder. But it’s not essential. I’ll normally wait till about 10 to eat breakfast.

I can pretty much do it all day. My cut-off is around 4 pm. I really like energy drinks. I read somewhere that when you have ADHD, coffee actually chills you out. I definitely notice that. When I have coffee in the morning, it makes me productive behind a computer screen, but it doesn’t make me want to get outside and run around. Energy drinks kind of do.

I do some work with Red Bull. Sometimes I just find some random healthy ones, like the ones that taste like shit that have nothing in it. They just taste like La Croix. Celsius I love, but the crash from the sugar in those—or the fake sugar—they’re amazing for two hours and then I’m asleep.

No. When I was competing, I was so strict on myself. I try to be as lenient with myself as I can now. There are things that I’d like to follow, like not looking at my phone before bed, not looking at it first thing when I wake up. I know those are all things that are healthy. But if I do it, I’m not going to punish myself. I do wear blue blockers. I love them to death. I also have on my phone, when you do the triple button, it turns everything to red light. I do that every night too.

No, that’s my brother. He has all the gadgets. The one I have is called a Lumaflex. It’s a red light therapy panel and you wrap it on anything that’s banged up. I hurt my knee at the gym the other day, and I just wrapped that around my knee. It’s already starting to feel better.

Overall, I stay away from the Barry’s Bootcamp, HYROX, that kind of heavy weight and cardio mixed. I like to keep them very separate. I’ll have days that are fully cardio or days that are fully weightlifting, but I rarely will do those workouts where you’re doing burpees in between, and then pull-ups, and that stuff. I want to do everything at my best, I guess. So when I do those types of workouts, I feel like my running is crap and I’m working out with bad form, so I don’t like mixing those two worlds.

My training is probably cardio twice a week, like running or stationary biking. Then honestly, that mixed with lifting heavy weights—traditional bodybuilding moves, a push-pull day—or I’ll do back and hamstrings and then squats and push movements. I’ll try to just bounce around. I’d say it’s a mix of cardio and traditional bodybuilding. Then I work in these things called lazy workouts.

For me, going to the gym is all about consistency. Some days you just wake up and you feel like you don’t want to go to the gym at all. Those are my days for lazy workouts. I tell myself before I even leave for the gym, “I’m not even going to break a sweat.” I’m going to go and do face pulls and shoulder rotations, maybe even just machines. It’s just to get in the process of going to the gym for an hour even when I don’t want to.

Yeah, Pilates is insane. I don’t do group workouts that often, but I’m a huge fan of Pilates. If I could do it more, I would do it more. I would say, the more unique side of what I do…I definitely do more core than most people: a lot of twists, a lot of leg lifts, a lot of stuff that’ll help me with rock climbing. I definitely do more back than most people do, again for rock climbing. Then just personally, I like doing shoulders, because I’ve had shoulder injuries. Since I am tall and skinny, shoulders help me broaden out. I do shoulders, back, and core probably the most of anything.

I have a big sweet tooth, so I am not hard on myself with sugar. But that said, I do try to limit sugar. I’m not going to have a protein bar that’s packed with sugar. I’m aware of the sucralose and all the fake sugars. When I drink coffee, it’s black coffee. I’m very aware of sugar. If I’m doing a lot of cardio, I care less. If I’m not doing a lot of cardio, I watch it a little bit more. But yeah, I don’t think sugar’s great for you.

I do think the thing that most people have to watch out for is sucralose. There’s a lot of drinks out there that might not have sugar, but are bad for you. Consuming sugar in the liquid form is where most of the bad is. That’s where people don’t realize they’re having sugar—and they’re having a ton!—in drinks.

Moderation. Everything in moderation, besides caffeine. I do it socially. If I have it at my house, I will drink it. If I have a bottle of wine in the fridge, it’s gone. So I try to keep it just social and not drink by myself. For me, that just means don’t buy it. If I can keep it just to social activity, like social events, that’s when alcohol is best anyways.

Big on supplements. Going back to that initial blood panel I did, I was very over trained, so I was lacking a lot of supplements. Back then I was thinking that I was vegan, I was eating healthy, I was going to get all of the nutrition I need from my food. I think that’s bullshit. I think it’s impossible to get it through your food.

Now, I take a lot of supplements, daily. When I wake up, multivitamin. I take a lot of vitamin D, pretty much twice what’s recommended, close to 10,000 IUs on top of my daily multi. Then I do zinc, amino acids, and electrolytes. I drink those all day, every day. Creatine, I take about five grams a day. Then, going back to hormones, I take tongkat ali. Have you ever heard of that?

Tongkat ali is like an Indonesian herb or something, and it’s a natural testosterone. Look, a lot of people in the world are taking artificial testosterone these days. When I was over trained, my testosterone went down. I started taking tongkat ali, did my blood work again, and my testosterone was like that of a 20-year-old. So, I really believe tongkat ali is an amazing supplement. You can also just order it on Amazon.

The one thing I would urge people to do is go get a full blood panel. You can literally just see what you’re lacking. Most people are going to be lacking in vitamin D, and you’re only prescribed 5,000 IUs a day in supplement [form]. When I did that, I was still low. So I just jacked it up to 13,000, and now I’m right where I need to be. Testosterone, I was really low. I started taking tongkat ali, and it’s much higher now.

In Real-Life Diet, athletes, celebrities, and other high performers talk about their diet, exercise routines, and pursuit of wellness. Keep in mind that what works for them might not necessarily be healthy for you.
