The Traitors US season one might be over but things are still kicking off between the castmates after an explosive reunion.
Thanks to some spectacularly shady gameplaying, Cirie Fields managed to win the entire $250,000 prize fund after deciding not to end the game at a crucial moment – which eventually led to her fellow Traitor, Arie Luyendyk Jr, being unmasked.
In a heated reunion episode, the Bachelor star then alleged that they had a secret pact to split the jackpot before the Survivor legend switched things up.
Appearing on Watch What Happens Live, Cirie addressed the reaction from her castmates after she announced herself as a Traitor and what she made of their comments.
When host Andy Cohen asked what she found the most surprising from the reunion, she didn’t even hesitate before delving back into the drama.
‘That Arie tried to play the victim,’ she replied. ‘If all of you guys watched, at the first question of, “Do you want to end the game?” Arie chose to end the game.

‘So he was okay with taking the money from Andie and Quentin. He decided to throw himself on the sword once he realized that, no matter what he did, he was being banished.’
Questioned on who was ‘still the saltiest’ about how the game went for them, she added: ‘Quentin! Quentin is really salty and I wasn’t really his friend, and I said that.
‘I honestly wouldn’t change anything and it’s because I never had to lie anyone, I never really backstabbed anyone.

‘The only lie that I had to tell was that I was a Faithful. I could not tell that I was a Traitor.’
Her comments come after Arie dropped a huge bombshell at the reunion – revealing that they had actually made a secret deal away from the cameras to take home an equal share of the $250k pot.
In the tense catch-up, also hosted by Andy, he asked: ‘You two had made this pact, so what had you said to each other?’

‘We were going to end the game. The plan was to end the game and split the money,’ Arie replied.
‘So when I threw into the fire, and Andie then threw into the fire and Quentin, I was like, “Game over!”
‘And then she threw into the fire and wanted to continue to game. At that point, she talked about splitting the money four ways. Because, at that point, everyone thought they were faithful there.
‘She didn’t really say, “Arie, I think you’re a traitor”. She made it more on, “Who needs the money the most?” talked about our personal lives, and I wasn’t about to play that game.’
Discussing her intention behind that moment, she explained: ‘Really to get rid of Arie. When I think about it, I could’ve just said no and threw my red thing in, and they still would’ve got rid of Arie.

‘When I’m thinking about splitting the money with Arie, I’m like, this has been a lot. Because it was hard, it wasn’t easy. It was not easy being a Traitor from day one and having to go into these breakfasts everyday, and having to go into these roundtables.
‘Arie came in one murder out. Thinking about it, I’m like, I went through a lot, it was really hard for me and I didn’t think it was as fair to just give him half of the money.’
Metro.co.uk has contacted Arie’s reps for a comment.
The Traitors US is available to stream on Peacock now.
