My Freudian slip was confirmation for the other players. You got me!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>P\u00e1raic had earned himself the nickname of Mr Double Bluff during his time in the castle and there was something about his slightly shifty behaviour that got his rivals talking over the last few nights.<\/p>\n<p>So he wasn\u2019t a bit surprised when he was got his banishing orders at the Round Table.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Paraic K The Traitors Ireland\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/0024ec4d-614.jpg\"\/><br \/>\nP\u00e1raic K<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My name was going around the castle from about day three or so,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And I thought it was a situation I could manage but when you are at that Round Table, it is super-exposed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So when someone comes in with that dossier of evidence it really puts a dent in the armour and once that happens, other players who are harbouring fears about you, think &#8211; &#8216;right, it\u2019s now safe to get behind the pile-on\u2019.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was thinking I was on borrowed time but once I heard what they were saying, I knew I was out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>His fatal slip of the tongue saw him sent packing from the castle, leaving the Traitors one player down and the Faithfuls wondering who could be next.<\/p>\n<p>Having hinted at a &#8220;gender dynamic&#8221; in the series so far, P\u00e1raic said he agrees with Saoirse\u2019s opinion that there is a &#8220;boys club&#8221; in the castle.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There\u2019s never an expectation for male players to have particular emotional responses, in my view, but it seems that when a female player doesn\u2019t behave in a particular kind of way . . .<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There seems to be a script that women in the game are expected to follow, that the guys aren\u2019t meant to follow. There was definitely a \u2018lads, lads, lads\u2019 vibe, let me tell you. It was turning my stomach because they were refusing to look inwards.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I remember, in particular with Anna, I was kind of going, why aren\u2019t the guys looking inwards? It\u2019s just women getting banished. I don\u2019t understand this. And my logic with that was serial killers will always will never kill within their own kind of profile.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Traitors Ireland continues on Tuesday night on RT\u00c9 One and the RT\u00c9 Player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Traitors Ireland contestant P\u00e1raic K has laughed off the fatal slip of the tongue that saw him banished&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":618506,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[93,61,60],"class_list":["post-618505","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618505","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=618505"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618505\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/618506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=618505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=618505"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=618505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
