Kirby Bentley's $200,600 victory left Krissy Marsh and Keira Maguire reeling, while Rhys Nicholson had already been banished at the final Round Table. Once the cameras stopped rolling, however, the four finalists did not stay enemies for long.

Rhys And Kirby Made Peace Straight Away

Rhys was taken into lockdown with a producer after their banishment and had to wait until Kirby's win was sealed before getting their phone back. After 13 days without contact with the outside world, their first priority was calling their husband with a very short version of events: they had not won and needed a drink.

The reunion with Kirby could have been awkward. Kirby had recruited Rhys as a Traitor with the intention of turning on them before the end, and that plan had played out in spectacular fashion.

Instead, Rhys told Pedestrian the pair hugged and quickly agreed, "We're okay." Rhys made it clear there were no hard feelings and celebrated Kirby's win before flying out the next morning to film Drag Race.

Kirby described the gathering as more like friends hanging out than a tense post-game debrief. She said the cast had worked through its differences during the year since filming and had become an unusually close group.

Krissy Needed A Minute With Keira

Krissy's exit carried a little more sting. She said she was "really pissed off" with Keira after being voted out at the firepit, admitting the betrayal hurt because she never expected it from her fellow Faithful.

The tension did not last all night. Krissy said the finalists eventually moved on over "way too many tequilas" and finally got to speak properly with the producers who had kept their distance during the game.

Keira also felt guilty about writing Krissy's name down. Exhaustion had taken its toll after the entire game was filmed across 13 intense days, with Keira saying the cast was surviving on roughly three hours of sleep a night by the finale.

Kirby Checked In With The Cast After Filming

Kirby's peacekeeping continued once everyone was home. She called her castmates individually, told them they could ask anything about her game and promised to answer honestly now that she was no longer playing a Traitor.

Luke and Josh Packham apparently had plenty of questions. Tully Smyth received something more personal after growing close to Kirby in the manor.

Kirby landed in Melbourne, bought flowers and turned up at Tully's door with a handwritten apology featuring the very appropriate word "betraitored". She still believed murdering Tully was necessary, because keeping her in the game could have handed the advantage back to the Faithfuls.

The finale delivered one last brutal betrayal, but the afterparty sounds far warmer than the firepit. Once the robes came off and the phones came back, the finalists were finally free to treat it as a game they had survived together.
