Vancouver native Neda Kalantar has just been crowned the winner of the second season of The Traitors Canada.

“I keep saying this, it hasn’t sunk in at all. Maybe once the cheque clears,” said Kalantar in a Zoom interview from Toronto on Dec. 3, the morning after she was crowned the winner of the CTV reality show.
Once the winner’s cheque for $72,000 does clear, the personal stylist (neda@the-look.ca), now based in Paris, said she is going to give the money to her mother.

“It’s for my mom’s retirement,” said Kalantar about her hair stylist mom Mahnaz. “She’s a single mom. She came to Canada and raised us by herself, so she deserves that.”
Shot last summer in Montreal, The Traitors is a murder mystery-like game in which the “Faithfuls,” in order to avoid being murdered, must figure out who are the three “Traitors.” In this case, Kalantar was the last Traitor standing.
Kalantar was joined on the show by three fellow British Columbians: Farming for Love bachelor Kirkland Douglas, a gay cattle farmer and horse boarder from the Rosedale area of Chilliwack; Mike Browne, a true crime podcaster and author from Langley; and Kyra Provost, a fitness YouTuber from Surrey.
Kalantar’s win on The Traitors was a third time lucky situation, as she was previously a house guest on two seasons of Big Brother Canada.
“I did Big Brother Canada season two, and then it went back for season five,” said Kalantar. “Season two, I played pretty well. Season Five, I was awful. So I learned from my mistakes this time around.”
What she learned heading into The Traitors was that “alliances matter a lot.”
