The alliance was solidified when Danielle later recruited Britney to join her as a Traitor.
BRITNEY HAYNES:My emotional state?
I was wrecked for what that was going to do to Danielle.

That was the emotion that you saw just Yeah, it was awful.
And I’ve lived it already before once.
This is the 2.0 for me.

This is the sequel.
Surprise, surprise, I hated again!
Prior to us losing Dylan and her losing Dylan’s vote, we were on Easy Street.

We were in the honeymoon phase.
We were going to walk hand in hand into the finale and have the best time of our lives.
But it was all contingent on what she believed was Dylan’s very real loyalty to her.

No, absolutely not.
I would’ve gladly thrown a vote to whoever I thought was going to be in the majority.
Did that play a factor?
No, I think that as a Faithful, she was keeping me in the game.
It was not going to benefit me in any way, shape, or form to turn on her.
So I genuinely enjoyed the process of working with her in the castle.
And she was keeping me around.
So it was a reciprocal relationship.
So what was your plan in terms of dealing with her as a Traitor had younotbeen recruited?
I would always just take it like, “Oh, really?
I don’t know.”
But I saw that her game was catching up to her.
And then afterthe Carolyn voteespecially, it was like that.
That is when she lost Gabby.
That is when she really sealed her own fate, was with that whole Carolyn thing.
And I saw that coming even in my Faithful seat.
I really actually went to work to make a run at make it happen.
But the truth is, her game at that point, it had really caught up to her.
And that’s not to discredit her.
She had been a Traitor since day one.
But the truth is, it had caught up to her.
I don’t know how it works out there in Scotland.
No, I left completely on my own.
So where are you two now?
I would understand her hesitancy.
Of course, that makes perfect sense.
I think the water is even muddier.
I’m sure that that’s true in a game sense.
My hope is that it’s not hopefully not true in the real world.
We’re not on TV anymore.
We’re just two people.
You know what I mean?
In a personal person-to-person sense.
Did you come on too strong?
No, I don’t think there’s anything that I could have done differently.
I think I had an objectively really strong argument.
I also don’t think that I was too aggressive.
But in real time, I feel like it kind of gained momentum at a normal pace.
I didn’t just shoot out the gate like, “I’m going to go through Dylan!”
That was Danielle’s final Roundtable.
That’s how it was designed the entire game, not mine.
I don’t think that I could have made a better argument.
I think my fate was even more sealed than we saw.
I was genuinely, like, so toast.
It has absolutely nothing to do with who actually did win.
Because if I don’t win, I don’t care who does.
But yeah, it’s worse whenever you get close.
I’m happy that I lasted as long as I did and gave it the shot that I did.
However, it’s a tougher pill to swallow to lose, for sure.
For me watching, it is actually painful.
It is actually guttural, awful, painful, and nothing but a negative association for the final episode.
Finally, were you the meekest of the Traitors?
No, I do not think that I’m the meekest of the Traitors.
I’ll be it.
Let that be my narrative going out.
I’m so quiet.
So never had an opinion in my life.
