Talking "The Traitors" With Parvati Shallow!
Join us and the black widow of competition reality TV Parvati Shallow to recap and rehash Season 2 of (arguably the best show on television right now) The Traitors! We chat with the Survivor legend about her time as a Traitor on the hit Peacock show, whether or not she would feel “bitter” in MJ’s shoes following the finale, who she would’ve recruited as a traitor instead of Peter Weber, squashing the beef with costar Tamra Judge after their off-camera feud, how Sandra Diaz-Twine hilariously broke the fourth wall with Bergie during filming, and if she’d return for another season! Parvati also weighs in on what’s changed about reality TV since her first Survivor win, and how mental health is now more of a “trending” conversation among competition games.
