How do you spot a liar? A private investigator spent six months and found nothing. Krissy caught him with one $25 bank transaction.Krissy has trusted her gut her whole life. She calls it her smoke detector... where there's smoke, there's fire. It pulled her out of a taxi in Bali before the meter even started, and it is the same instinct that told her girlfriend something was off in her marriage long before there was any proof.This one is all about liars, and how to spot a liar when they are good at it. Because the frightening truth is that a good liar tells a lot of truth. Her friend's husband really was going to Canada. He really did need a break. He just never mentioned he was taking his girlfriend. A private investigator came back after six months with nothing. Then one $25 transaction to an unusual name, one Google search, and one phone call to a bar in Brisbane unravelled the whole thing.Krissy also gets into the small-lie test she raised her kids on (if someone lies about being at their mum's house, they can lie about anything!!), why decades of trust make us silence our own smoke detector, the friends who lie about the stupid stuff, double lives that DNA tests keep exposing, and the one rule that holds her family together: you get one chance to tell the truth.And she is about to play the ultimate lying game on The Traitors... consider this her warm up. Is she a good liar? You will have to watch and find out.⏱️ Chapters00:00 The smoke detector gut feel00:49 Two taxis I escaped03:55 Catching a cheating husband07:07 Why we suppress the gut feel10:20 Small lies, big liars13:03 Double lives and DNA tests16:13 The Traitors and moving on🔗 LinksWant the deeper cut?

More from KRISSY'S ROUNDTABLE
Josh Packham went out the night before the Grand Finale of The Traitors Australia, and Krissy's vote helped send him. Now he is at her table, and he tells her she was next. The plan from the car, the contract clause that had him doubting his own twin, and a shag, marry, murder pick he calls vindictive.
What happens when the faithfuls, not the traitors, are the ones who send you home? Australian Idol's Cosima De Vito walked into the manor with a commerce degree, her own record label and no game plan, having never watched a single episode. Three days later she was banished. Cosima reveals why she gravitated to Dicko the second he stepped out of the car, the breakfast where she "became all wog on everyone", the moment she found out it was the faithfuls who kept Cam Merchant out for the money, and why she could not play the game after that. Krissy Marsh was at that table too, and admits she clocked Kirby Bentley on day one and was ready to write her name down. Together they break down what it actually takes to be a traitor: a poker face, a bit of an arsehole, and the way Kirby meets every person at their level so nobody ever feels played. Plus, why Cosima could never vote against Dicko or Rob Farnham, the Rachael Evren run-in that had Krissy fighting for her life, what her daughter Amelia said when she got home, and the day she said no to The Voice.
How do you survive six episodes in the manor by staying completely invisible? MasterChef star Alvin Quah reveals his under-the-radar strategy, the genuine fear he experienced at the round tables, and the exact meaning behind the private code he ran with Kirby Bentley. He reveals the exact meaning behind the 'volcano' code, what really happened when Gamble Breaux caught him hiding, and his most controversial regret from the game. Krissy was in the manor too, bringing firsthand perspective to the night AJ Antonios turned on him. Plus, Alvin speaks openly about the intense anxiety and overwhelm of reality television.
What happens when you are banished before you even enter the manor? Cam Merchant reveals the brutal reality of being the first player eliminated from The Traitors Australia, detailing exactly what it felt like to sit under a hood and listen to the cast vote to keep him out for $10,000. Krissy Marsh was sitting at that exact table, and now they break down the betrayal face-to-face. Plus, Cam reveals his true thoughts on Shane Gould's blindfolded spin and shares how surviving the devastating Boxing Day tsunami completely reshaped his perspective on life, resilience, and reality television.
Why do Faithfuls turn on each other so quickly? Big Brother alum Tully Smyth details the intense psychological paranoia inside the manor, explaining exactly how she gaslit herself about trusted allies within the first 48 hours. Krissy and Tully break down the emotional postpartum challenge on the mountain, navigating the 'boys' club' dynamic, and judging the cast's fashion strategies. Plus, a brutal game of Shoot, Shag, or Marry with the Season 3 cast.
