What happens in Scotland doesn’t always stay in Scotland.
During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Ciara Miller opened up about filming The Traitors, clarifying a comment she made about in the season 9 Summer House premiere about having her phone in the castle.
“You get your phone — I don’t even know — every six, seven days,” the reality star, 29, told Us, adding that she “thrived” without the device. “But it’s all supervised so you can’t go on social media. You can only make a couple phone calls and if you send a text, they have to read it.”
From our partners:
Ciara, a Faithful, made it eight episodes before she was “banished” at a roundtable because her costars (falsely) thought she was a Traitor.
Ciara Miller Was ‘Disgusted’ By Danielle Reyes’ Gameplay on ‘The Traitors’
“Everyone owes me an apology. I’m walking into [the reunion] guns blazing. Like, ‘You owe me an apology. You owe me an apology. You owe me an apology.’ Because where was I a Traitor?” Ciara asked Us, hypothesizing that filming a reunion for the Peacock show should be easier than hashing things out with her Summer House castmates. “I think it probably won’t be as long.”
Other behind-the-scenes tidbits include confirmation the group does their own glam on the game show.
“I like doing my makeup. I don’t love doing my own hair. There were a couple mornings where I didn’t wake up on time and I’m like, ‘I have to get in full hair and makeup. … Guys, can we have a day off? I don’t wanna do this,’” she told Us with a laugh. “But the fun part of it was dressing up. I don’t wanna shop for another outfit [now], but if you have no strategy, you must have good hair, makeup and outfits. It’s its own strategy.”
Ciara hinted that there was a packing list for the show, which is how the group could be coordinated in missions like her now-infamous “wedding” to Boston Rob (bugs and snakes included!).
Ciara Miller Says Gamers on ‘Traitors’ Have ‘Chips on Their Shoulders’
“When I was watching it, I was like, ‘This is disgusting.’ I had my eyes closed the entire time. I had never seen some of these other bugs that were on me … That’s actually insane. And I’m so glad I had my eyes closed, and I didn’t even know it was a snake until shortly after,” she recalled. “I was screaming and they had to, like, readjust the snake because he was getting too close to my mouth. And I’m like, ‘This is crazy. I’m never doing this again’ And I was like, ‘You better have gotten this in one shot because I’m not doing it again.’”
As for another one of her memorable moments in the coffin, Ciara estimated that she was in the box waiting to find out if she was going to be murdered in episode three for at least 30 minutes.
“They break it up because of filming things … [But] I’m never going in a coffin again,” she said. “I don’t believe in going into a coffin prematurely. It’s so creepy. I really hate coffins. There was no lining in there, it was just a cold, wooden coffin. And I was like, ‘Really? I was in brand new leather boots,’ but nobody cared.”
It also wouldn’t be The Traitors without the iconic breakfast scenes where the cast gathers in the morning to find out who was murdered the night before.
“Breakfast is nerve-wracking. You’re hungry but too nervous to eat. But also, it’s meat and cheeses and croissants. It’s very cutesy. And I’m like, ‘Can I get a scrambled egg? Some hash browns?’ There’s none of that,” she recalled.
Ciara subsequently shut down Us’ theory that the group should think about how the last three people at breakfast could be the targets of the Traitors.
All Rules and Behind-the-Scenes Secrets You Didn’t Know About ‘The Traitors’
“You all come in [to eat] in different orders every time. It’s really hard to catch on that type of pattern,” she said. “There was a time where we tried to, like, count the chairs, but then they were like, ‘You guys are stupid. That’s not it at all.’”
Summer House airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET. The Traitors streams new episodes every Thursday at 9 p.m. ET.
