Carolyn Wiger Reveals What She Plans to Tell Danielle Reyes at ‘The Traitors’ Reunion (Exclusive)

Carolyn Wiger already has an idea of what she’s going to say to Danielle Reyes when they meet again at The Traitors reunion.

“‘Good game, girl,’” the Survivor alum, 38, exclusively told Us Weekly on Monday, February 24, when asked what she wants to tell Danielle, 53, when they’re face-to-face following Carolyn’s recent banishment. “People are telling me this: ‘Carolyn, she’s getting so much hate.’ The game is done.”

While Carolyn acknowledged that she was “super emotional” after watching the recent Traitors episode back, she’s gradually coming to terms with Danielle’s move to get her out.

“I was pissed after watching that dang edited episode. I’m not going to lie, I was pissed,” she confessed. “But it’s been a few days now, and I’m just not in the same place. And I truly do feel so grateful for the experience.”

Carolyn explained that she’s not “just saying that to sound positive,” but instead she’s looking forward to the future.

“There’s nothing that at the reunion, if I get it out or say it to Danielle… it’s not going to change anything. It’s not,” she told Us. “And at the end of the day she got me, and I’m not going to beat myself up.”

Carolyn confessed that at first she was hard on herself for being “so emotional” when she would try to get her point across, and shared that she wishes that she could change up her communication style.

“Even how I’m perceived sometimes in my arguments and how, because I say things so emotionally,” she explained. ”So I was like, ‘I wish I could talk like that. I wish I could talk in a way where people are going to actually hear me.’ But truly, at the end of the day, I do believe there’s two people in that game who think [Danielle is] a traitor and I didn’t have a chance anyway.”

During the premiere episode, Carolyn, Danielle and Bob the Drag Queen were selected by Alan Cumming as the traitors for season 3. The trio were later joined by Boston Rob Mariano in the turret. Now, Danielle is the sole traitor left and she’s selected to recruit her Big Brother bestie, Britney Haynes, to join her. Before Carolyn’s banishment, Danielle wanted to bring Britney in as a traitor. However, Carolyn was not on board with that decision — so the duo opted to murder Sam Asghari instead.

After disagreeing with the decision to seduce a faithful, Danielle helped plant seeds against Carolyn to get her out — which ultimately worked. The pair went at it during the roundtable which ended up with Danielle comparing Carolyn to Forrest Gump. While Danielle claimed the remark was a compliment, Carolyn doesn’t see it that way.

“I certainly didn’t take it as a compliment. It hurt,” she told Us. “Then I say to myself, ‘But Carolyn, you’re putting yourself out there the way that you do. Does it mean that I deserve to be called that?’ But at the end of the day, it helps my game.”

Carolyn shared that criticism of her strategy is fair game, but that she wants the personal remarks to be left behind.

“When people make fun of our gameplay, or [say] ‘that was a stupid move,’ or ‘that was a go ahead‘ and call me a dumb player or … I didn’t make the best move or say that I should have done this or that. That’s to me, go ahead,” she told Us. “But when it comes to the personal stuff … I’m not going to lie with playing Survivor the first time — and that’s where I don’t search my name anymore — because it’s like I’ve seen enough comments where people think that I’m on drugs or that my face had a stroke or that I am crazy, or they diagnosed me with something because of my personality.”

New episodes of The Traitors are released Thursdays on Peacock.
