Why did you decide to apply as sisters?
ARMANI We both love the show, and I love games like Solitaire and Sudoku. Maia had applied and messaged me saying I should too. At that time, I was extremely depressed, because I’d had a miscarriage. The Traitors really was my escapism.
MAIA I wouldn’t have wanted to go in solo, but I 100% regret telling people we were sisters. It put a target on our backs.
Who deserves a place in the final?
ARMANI The way my fellow Traitor Minah plays the game reminds me of Harry from last series. Dan is very analytical, he’s confident and doesn’t get swayed by others. Jake is also very observant and got two Traitors correct – Linda and me.

Armani, watching the series back, do you think your behaviour was “too much?”
ARMANI When I’m excited and whenever my emotions are high, I’m just like “blah, blah, blah…” I’m hyperactive. After filming, I was diagnosed with ADHD. A lot of things in my life have become clearer! It’s allowed me to reflect on my behaviours on the show.
Maia, did you feel in Armani’s shadow?
MAIA That’s always been the thing growing up. I’m the quiet one in the family. It doesn’t bother me, because my tactic was never to be that loud. When Armani left, I was going to come out of my shell a bit more.
Do you have any regrets?
ARMANI When I was giving the Traitors feedback to say a bit more, it was audacious, but I thought they’d then tell me what I needed to do as well!

MAIA I feel so guilty about Freddie! It’s my fault people started thinking he’s a Traitor. But he’s told me to stop apologising.
