"For most people playing or just watching The Traitors, each day is filled with physical and mental stress and anxiety. For Colton Underwood, it's just another day at work. "Everybody's like, 'That show had to be so hard and so intense,'" he tells Bustle over the phone. "I was like, 'Compared to the other shows I've done, Traitors was a cakewalk.'""
"'I felt on an island where people would come up to me like, 'Hey, who are we going for tonight?' he says. 'They'd treat me like the leader, but when it came time to deliver, that's a lot of pressure on me. And if I miss, I'm the one taking the fall for it.'"
Colton Underwood views Season 4 of The Traitors as less intense than his prior reality shows and approached the game seriously. He began on The Bachelorette, became the Bachelor in 2018 with his virginity as a storyline, and later came out as gay and documented that journey in the Netflix docuseries Coming Out Colton. On The Traitors he suspected Donna Kelce and led a mistaken charge against Tiffany Mitchell, which alienated some contestants and viewers. He experienced isolation as a perceived leader, faced an accusation and a perceived dig about his sexuality from Michael Rapaport, and emphasized the need to be pressure-tested and to defend himself to avoid votes.
