The remaining contestants are "Faithfuls" and are tasked to discover and banish the Traitors by voting them out in order to win the grand prize.

The American show is based on its British counterpart, with both being produced by Studio Lambert for the BBC and Peacock. They share the same location, props, and missions, with the main difference being the hosts.
