The Traitors

Watching and enjoying it here too!

Great episodethis evening, really want Amanda to win!

Love this show, hoping for the Traitors to win.

Was this on tonight? Showing on tv schedule but didn't record for me.

I saw the trailers for this last month and thought it looked awful.

I then read lots of positive reviews over Christmas and decided to give it a go.

Binge watched it last weekend. It was great! Very, very addictive and lots of fun.

All the episode are on YouTube for anyone who doesn't have access to the BBC iPlayer.

Where on YouTube might one find it?

Anybody watched the Australian version? I watched it over the past few days.

I think it's just as good as the UK version.

The contestants are more ruthless and there's less crying and faux drama (which is a good thing).

But Claudia is a better host than the Australian guy.

Not the uk version, or the aus version, but the irish version.

The US one aired last week. It was filmed in the same location as the UK one, and so has a lot of the same challenges.

It streamed on Peacock, so all episodes are out (just 10). A mixture of reality stars (Survivor, BB etc.) and regular Americans.

I've only watched a couple, but seems great so far. Alan Cumming is the host and he is fantastic. 🙂

I must disagree, can't take to Cummins at all.

Hes too much for me 😂

I definitely much prefer Claudia as a host. Alan was okay, but Claudia just has that mix of joyful fun that could turn to chaotic energy at any moment.

Watched all of the US Traitors. Didn't enjoy it as much as the UK version. I think having half the contestants be people from other US reality shows tips the balance of the show in an unfair way, because there's too much focus on them as "characters", they know how to play some things up to get more attention on them, and I doubt half of them even needed the money or they were probably getting paid a decent sum just for being on the show anyway, especially with having to travel from the US to Scotland for a few weeks. It meant even by the end, I barely felt like I knew the remaining faithfuls because there had been so little focus on them during the previous episodes.

The editing of the show also annoyed me, as almost every episode of the UK version ended at night with the cliffhanger of who did the Traitors murder, whereas the US version just ends on the most dramatic point of that evening, even during or just after the Roundtable.

It was okay, and I probably would have liked it more if I hadn't already seen the UK version, but the UK version was just so damn good that the US version couldn't live up to it.
