Overview
In the show, three of 18 contestants take on the role of ''Verrader'' (Traitor/Betrayer), and all other contestants take on the role of ''Getrouwe'' (Faithful). The faithful do not know who the traitors are, but viewers of the show are made aware in the first episode. Each night, the traitors gather in secret to decide whom they wish to eliminate from the game; this contestant is said to have been killed and does not show up at the next morning's breakfast. In each episode, the contestants take part in a challenge to earn silver bars, which can be won in the end. In some challenges, contestants can also win a shield, which protects them from elimination by the traitors that night. After completing a challenge, the contestants return to the castle to take part in the ''Raad'' (Council) – a voting round in which all contestants cast a vote on who should be eliminated from the game. In this round, the faithful hope to eliminate a traitor from the game. The eliminated persons reveal, before leaving, whether they were either a traitor or a faithful contestant. In the first season of the show, the contestants played a game to decide the winner of the silver bars in the last episode. The two finalists independently wrote down either ''Verraad'' (Betrayal) or ''Trouw'' (Faithful). If both chose ''Trouw'', then they split the prize, but if one person chose ''Verraad'' then that person won all the silver bars. If both chose ''Verraad'' then the runner-up won all the silver bars. In the second season of the show, the team with the most players remaining played this game to decide the winner(s) of the silver bars. In the third season, the game was not played, and instead the traitors would win if at least one traitor were remaining in the end. Diederik Jekel,Seasons
