But at the end of the day, I do have limits.

(They are almost always comically wrong.)

Its a game of murder and mayhem, one that requires a bit of a cut-throat edge.

Traitors

But day one that was shot to hell.

I dont know how much Im allowed to say; I definitely made friendsbut I also made an enemy.

That eventually led to her being recruited forSelling Sunset.

Chrishell Stause

Thats when things really took off for Stause.

There was the reality TV show fame and the tabloid-ready divorce from Hartley.

The couple now split their time between the U.S. and Australia.

Selling Sunset

Then season three came around and I realized they were filming at different times.

It’s just our routine.

It’s what we do.

To go from talking literally all the time to nothing was crazy.

She adds: I’m very protective of my love.

They didn’t sign up for this.

I would give up everything else if I needed to protect that.

As were talking, an assistant appears on screen, arriving with Stauses iced coffee.

But Stause doesnt need the caffeine when it comes to her excitement aroundThe Traitors.

I think the editors need a raise because there were a lot of juicy things happening.

Due to some strict embargoes on spoilers, she cant say much about the shows twists and turns.

Except maybe just one teaser: Listen, I want to play.

I want to have fun.

I want to get in there.

But at the end of the day, I do have limits.

I’m a good person.

Not that Stause doesnt have a strategy.

I’ve got a bit of a fighter spirit that not everybody knows.

So I thought,Oh, let me dress in a bunch of pink.

But Ive got this scrappy side to me.

Her previous experience on reality TV helped, too.

And the same exact thing happens withThe Traitors.

Compared to other shows shes been on,The Traitorswas different for Stause.

I’ve never done a game where you have to backstab people or anything like that, she says.

Stause wouldnt describe herself as a full-on villain.

Two people stand on a windowsill and look out of a large window, as another pair sit in chairs talking, in a still from ‘Got to Get Out.'

Im a nice person, but its like, dont mess with me and my people."

(Yes, her license is real and sheposted it on Instagram to stop the haters.)

She also recently had a cameo in Netflixs holiday movieHot Frosty.

Anna Lambe as Siaja in episode 101 of North of North.

It was down to me and one other girl for her friend, she says.

(Shes manifesting her own holiday movie for the next festive season.)

Speaking of things shes not allowed to say, I cant resist bringing up herTraitorsenemy one more time.

He annoys the hell out of me.
