What makes a good Traitor?

Okay, but what about the actual physical act of tapping those selected Traitors on the shoulder?

“Its actually one of these moments in the show where I’m terrified.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How many laps around the Roundtable do you actually make?

How long does the process take?

ALAN CUMMING:They have those blindfolds on for a long time, like 40 minutes or something.

And I go around, around, around.

First of all, we film them all.

And then I start, you know, stopping… Is that something you kept in mind this time around?

We do it on purpose!

I love when I hear them say I heard him stop!

I heard him stop!

They’re staring at everybody.

It’s really disturbing.

It’s just nuts.

But good on them, because they’re really trying to get as much information as possible.

Speaking of animals, that’s your real-life dog with you on the show, yes?

Lala, that’s her!

And what’s hilarious is some [other] dog dubs her.

She never makes a noise so any little [dog noise,] thats not her.

The second season she was there, but people said “We need more.”

I said to [the producers,] “The internet has spoken!

We need more Lala on screen!

She’s got more things to do!”
