Reality TV royalty has entered the Cyrus castle. This week we sit down with the one and only Mark Ballas to talk Traitors paranoia, Dancing with the Stars pressure, and what it’s actually like surviving a competition show where someone might be lying to your face at breakfast. We get into Rob’s master manipulation, secret alliances, murder-in-plain-sight chaos, and why you have to trust someone 100% even when you absolutely shouldn’t. Plus, what really happens at those roundtables and why the banquet episode had everyone spiraling.

Then we rewind to DWTS life... 19 seasons in a row, brutal rehearsal schedules, fight-camp-level training, and the reality of coming back after injuries and fatherhood. Mark opens up about choreography control, producing his own music for routines, and how different the mental game is between Traitors and live television. From castle mind games to ballroom pressure, this one is 10/10 Reality TV chaos and we are obsessed.

Love you, Stoners. Bye!
