CK defends Danielle Reyes' gameplay on The Traitors

Danielle Reyes, known for her time on Big Brother, is receiving support for her gameplay on The Traitors. Courtney "CK" Kim, who finished third in season 2 of Deal or No Deal Island, praised Danielle, stating she played a great game despite facing criticism. CK highlighted the different expectations for female competitors compared to males in reality shows. CK is not alone in her views. Other reality stars have questioned how women are portrayed in competitive environments. Survivor legend Parvati Shallow criticized the show's host for saying that the most "interesting" contestants are usually men. She argued that this perception is influenced by the male-dominated production team. La Shell Wooten, another reality player, believes CK would not be seen as a villain if she were a man. She argues that male players with similar strategies are often viewed more positively. CK pointed out that Danielle performed better than other original traitors, being eliminated only at the very end of the season. Despite some early mistakes in the game, Danielle showed strong gameplay as the season progressed. She used her skills to banish another traitor, Carolyn Wiger, which helped her ally, Britney Haynes. Danielle was ultimately voted out by Britney in the final rounds. CK expressed interest in competing on The Traitors in the future, promising to be an even more effective villain. She believes her gameplay could be sneakier and more strategic. Parvati also believes CK has potential, suggesting she could evolve into a compelling character in reality TV competitions. The finale of Deal or No Deal Island is set to air on March 25 at 9 p.m. ET on NBC and will be available on Peacock the following day.
