The Big Brother Australia favourite says she made that point to casting, producers and host Gretel Killeen before the game began. It was not because she was worried about being caught out. Tully says she simply knew the role did not suit the way she wanted to play.
Tully Wanted To Stay A Faithful
In an interview by New Idea, Tully said she begged the team not to put her in the Traitors' cloak. Her reasoning was blunt: she does not enjoy being bad at things, and she did not think she could be a good Traitor.
It is an especially revealing admission after a season where almost every breakfast conversation came with a side of suspicion. Tully ultimately became one of the cast members most trusted by the group. Nobody wrote her name down and, by her own account, she never had a finger pointed at her.
That made her a strong Faithful, but also a very obvious problem for the Traitors. Tully said she realised that a lack of suspicion made her useless to the people choosing who would be murdered next.
Her Exit Was Still A Tough Watch
Tully was murdered before the finale and said the moment felt gut-wrenching. She had written in her journal on the morning of her exit that she had never been more scared of being taken out of the game.
As the numbers dropped, she says she could feel her luck running out. Being regarded as a dependable Faithful had helped her survive deep into the competition, but it also made it harder to imagine the Traitors letting her reach the final stretch.
She did not leave without a read on the game. Tully says she suspected Kirby Bentley was a Traitor, but chose not to say it aloud. Watching the series back, she was surprised to see that Kirby had been the player floating her name for murder, while Rhys Nicholson had argued for her to stay.
Why Kirby Made The Move
Tully can see the logic behind Kirby's decision. She believes that if she had made it to the next round table and finally declared her suspicions, the other contestants would have listened. In her view, Kirby recognised that threat before it could turn into a vote.
That is the strange little cruelty of The Traitors. Being trusted is usually the dream, until it makes you too dangerous to keep around. Tully's quiet game put her in exactly that position.
She says she is proud of the way she competed, describing her game as one built on integrity, morals and keeping her word. It also explains why she was so determined to begin as a Faithful. The role let Tully play in a way that felt like her, even if it left her wide open to the sharpest players in the turret.
For fans, the bigger what-if is whether Tully could have taken Kirby down had she survived one more night. She did not get the chance, but her post-show account makes her exit feel far less quiet than it looked on screen.
