Ciara Miller thinks that some contestants on The Traitors had their eye on Bravo stars.
After Housewives Dorinda Medley and Chanel Ayan were among the first celebrities to be kicked off season 3 of The Traitors, Miller, 29, exclusively told Us Weekly that she thinks certain players have a very specific strategy.
“I just feel like some of these Survivor, Big Brother people had chips on their shoulders and they’re going to take out the Bravo people because they know that they’re the most liked,” Miller told Us, while promoting her and Amanda Batula’s partnership with KIND Snacks.
Miller explained that she went into The Traitors with the idea that she “would never” go for any over her fellow Bravo contestants. “You don’t go after your own kind,” Miller quipped.

The Summer House star called her time on The Traitors “an out of body experience,” adding that she didn’t know what she was “getting myself into” with the former Survivor and Big Brother contestants.
“I ended up finding my people and I’m really glad that I did it actually,” she continued. “It definitely pushed me outside of my comfort zone, but it was definitely very challenging and now watching it back, I mean, I can’t wait to see the rest of Traitors. I feel like I’m watching it unravel with everyone else.”
When it comes to identifying the traitors, Miller said that her “gut was right.” (Host Alan Cumming named Bob the Drag Queen, Danielle Reyes and Carolyn Wigler as the season 3 traitors. Boston Rob later joined the group as a traitor.)
“I’ll just say my gut was right in the beginning, and the more you talk to people the more they kind of sway you,” Miller explained. “So my gut was actually right in the beginning, but I ended up kind of focusing my attention on something different.”

While completing in the challenges on The Traitors, Miller described the physical component as being challenging.
“There was a lot of running. Oh, so much running. That’s why I was like, ‘I’m going to lead on the boat,’ Because I was like, ‘There’s no way I can row this boat and no way I wanted to row the boat.’ I was like, ‘I’m going to just yell.’”
For this reason, Batula, 33, said there was “no way” she would participate on the show. “I think I would be the Ekin-Su, I would just be so lost and trust everyone and believe everything everyone said. So I’d be terrible at it.”
Before Miller appeared on the show, she did not reach out to Summer House costar and Batula’s husband Kyle Cooke because of the quick turnaround.
“I had five days before I knew that I was kind of leaving to go out there,” Miller explained. “I was really focused on my clothes getting to New York as opposed to game planning.”
While on the show, Miller joked that there was such “little” down-time it was the “least amount of bed rotting” she did for a couple weeks. “It was intense,” Miller said.
While bed-rotting with Batula, Miller said the duo love to munch on KIND Snacks. “Everything’s great in moderation,” Miller said. “And why not have the best snack for being in bed? It leaves no crumbs. The Kind bars are a hundred percent crumb free, which we love.”
The Traitors airs on Peacock Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.
