It lost someone who was hilarious, fashion-forward, and fabulous to boot. Monét sits down with me in person to talk about how he was cast on The Traitors, why vibes—not just “evidence”—matter when deciding who’s a Traitor or a Faithful, and his deep love of strategy games. He also opens up about being betrayed by a certain Potomac Housewife and reflects on how his drag has evolved so successfully over the past decade. 00:00 Melissa’s Traitors Obsession 01:38 How Monét Got Cast on The Traitors 03:04 Being Devastated Not Becoming a Traitor 05:05 How Strict Production Rules Really Are 06:10 Strategy vs Vibes Inside the Castle 07:55 What You Actually See of the Castle 09:14 Meeting Housewives & Celebrities 11:00 Strategy Falling Apart Immediately 13:20 Real Red Flags vs Random Theories 15:06 Calling Out a Traitor — Too Soon 16:41 Discovering Who the Traitors Were 17:22 Reaction: “I Was Gagged” 18:20 Reality TV Strategy Mistakes 20:52 Talking in Code & Chess Moves 22:24 Traitors Fashion & Outfits 23:22 No Glam Teams Allowed 26:03 Getting Ready in Drag at 6 AM 27:14 How Drag Started 29:47 Quitting Her Job to Follow Passion 30:50 Career Explosion After Drag Race 31:22 Traitors All-Stars Dreams 31:45 Final Thoughts This is another Hurrdat Media Production.
