I really just love this show.

I love being at the castle.

I love everybody there.

Emmy nominations

What was great the second time around is were back all in the swing of it a bit more.

And now we really kind of hit our stride.

And that was what was so great about doing this second season.

It really felt we had a chance to sort of tinker with things.

I think the show improved because of that.

And its always nice to be in Scotland.

Executive producerToni Irelandsaid the biggest benefit of having a whole celebrity cast is its a completely level playing field.

One of the standouts for the season wasThe Real Housewives of Atlantastar Phaedra Parks.

I think all Housewives are social gamers, right?

They know how to play the social game, executive producerMike Cottonsaid.

I think the Housewives do have the skills.

They can be social manipulators, and they can play that side of the game.

Theres many different ways in which you’re free to play it.

Ireland added: Thats why Phaedra was so successful.

Because to be a successful traitor, you have to have a social game.

You cant just be a strategist.

People have to like you and trust you, and thats why she was so brilliant.

The Traitorsalso is nominated for Outstanding Directing for a Reality Program and Outstanding Reality-Competition Program.
