The Traitors

[smurfy]

Anyone watching?
I love Alan Cumming. This is season 3.
Lots of Survivor and Big Brother players, some housewives and some other people I have not watched their shows.
As a Survivor and BB fan - I am enjoying seeing them play- some of my all time favs - Danielle fr BB.
I also love the Scottish countryside.

I'll probably check it out on Peacock at some point (love Scotland! ) - Season 3 trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRrDWrPl5E0

I'm watching. I binged Seasons 1 and 2 (both US and UK versions), so watching it in regular release just might make me crazy.

I’m watching and, unless I missed some specific instruction from Alan, I am dumbfounded at the stupidity of the players in the Fun House.

 

[SHARPIE]

Currently watching season 3 UK, too much crying and this series. One of the Traitors in it may as well wear a T Shirt saying, “I am a Traitor” and the faithful who are more concerned with managing their own self image wouldn’t spot it.

I always root for people from MTV The Challenge. My one guilty pleasure in life ( yeah right)

I discovered The Challenge last year when CBS aired a season (I think due to the writers strike).
I am hooked and really enjoy it. At some point I want to watch some of the earliers seasons. I found one on Hulu.
I enjoy the folks keep coming back.

There are so many, so be prepared! I've literally watched it from the very beginning. It's been a thing for decades. I'm an MTV baby. I highly recommend you try to watch from day 1, the Real World/Road Rules challenge days. It's great that they have so many people who return. I kind of grew up with so many of them.

I'm figuring they HAD to have been told they couldn't say directions or numbers and it just wasn't shown. There are a lot of smart people on the show who know how to win competitive games.

I read a lot of reviews saying that the UK version was much superior because it features everyday people instead of reality stars, but that ended up being my least favorite thing about it. The US reality stars (mostly) understand the mission; the everyday people take it all very seriously and get their feelings hurt, plus too many of them really need the money, whereas few people care when a reality "star" gets it in the teeth. They'll just go on another show somewhere.

I thought Carolyn would be a total trainwreck, but she's actually doing a good job so far (although we have yet to see how she handles being caught sneaking around). Bob the Drag Queen, OTOH, is way too out front and Danielle is so dramatic someone is going to catch on to her. I can't stand Boston Rob, but he played his hand at the table really well like a true poker player. I so hope he doesn't win.

This season has my all time favorite MTV contestant, Wes Bergman. I absolutely LOVE Wes!

That’s why I was wondering if I had missed something. Otherwise, why wouldn’t you just say “We are picking the last door on the right” or whatever?

I am sure it just wasn't shown. This is not a show that shies from making the contestants look stupid. Apparently the same thing happened in the UK version--same challenge, same lack of instruction, same vague descriptions by the contestants. A fan thread I read said that this kind of thing has happened before and that the contestants often have a lot more rules than what we see.

Dunno.

I get what you’re saying about the everyday people getting their feelings hurt. I only started watching last year and haven’t really had the urge to watch Series 1.

I did love Harry (Series 2) all the way through and was glad he won in the end but his winning was kind of farcical. . That was all based on someone’s feelings cos she liked him so much, he “Couldn’t possibly be a Traitor”

There is one very good Traitor this year, hope she wins but nobody else really stands out for me. Bring back Diane! Although, maybe not. She’s apparently got a contract now to advertise Fizzy Rose wine and I was a bit “wtf” seeing her on “Celebrity Masterchef”

I may give the US versions a whirl when I have less things lined up to watch on Netflix etc.

We have an after show where the banished or murdered contestants find out who the Traitors are, do you have something similar? It’s my favourite part.

There is an aftershow, but it's just a postmortem. I have always had the impression that everyone knows everything already.

 

[Rob]

I love the show. I’ve seen all the seasons from US, UK, NZ, Australia so I am watching US 3 now and hoping UK 3 makes it to Peacock soon. I could have done without Boston Rob.

I guess there is some way to VPN Traitors Canada but I haven’t figured that out yet.

 

[emason]

UK Season 3 has been announced to air right after US Season 3 finishes. I’m hoping we will get Australia 3, but I’ve seen no announcement about that.

I actually like Boston Rob; I want to see him run the table. It’s Bob the Drag Queen who is plucking on my last nerve; I want him gone.

Hopefully Wes stays around long enough to get on your nerves. Because he will, most likely. He's so cocky and smug, but completely hilarious about it.

 

[canbelto]

I like this season already. Loved the return of Britney, probably my favorite Big Brother HG of all time.

I wouldn’t bother I’m abandoning it in favour of “Love Island” tonight and will watch on Catch Up. Worst series yet.

We are getting yours straight after this run ends too.

I'm excited for Traitors tonight. This season looks enjoyable, although there is too much DudeBro energy for my taste

The last episode must have made your day .

So far, the challenges have favored the men to a rather ridiculous degree.

 

[toddlj]

Not a fan of the most recent episode. After Peppermint's uncomfortably early exit last year, I was pleased that Bob TDQ was a traitor since that might help him stay longer... but Boston Rob ended that. The way everyone kept saying "the queen" or "the drag queen" in a sort of sinister tone felt very... uncomfortable to me. I'm not saying folks are bigots but it did seem a little... off.

 

[Sparks]

His name is literally Bob the Drag Queen

Yes but you don't always have to say someone's entire name in every sentence you use about them.

 

[Sparks]

Understood. There are 2 Bobs. Bob H and Bob TDQ

 

[toddlj]

Just saying it made me uncomfortable with the "get rid of the drag queen"-ness of it. I'm not saying it was intentional just that I felt uncomfortable. YMMV.

 

[emason]

I loved Peppermint, Bob The Drag Queen not so much. If he had toned it down a bit, he’d still be there; he really didn’t read the room.

 

[Sparks]

Peppermint was sabotaged by one of the worst people in the world, Thrishelle

Trishelle is awful. I love her. Of course she teamed with CT, who everyone loves. As messy as he is.

No one has anything to say about the last episode???? I lost count of how many times I said "What are you doing?"

How not to be a traitor, starring two-thirds of The Traitors US season 3 traitors

I totally agree with this piece, except for the end: “People just don’t suspect I’m actually playing a game, and this is what I want,” Carolyn told us. And she’s also not actively sabotaging her own game, which is more than I can say for Rob and Danielle.

Um, did he see the preview for next week? I have thought that Carolyn has been playing a good game and that she's been right in just about everything she's said about strategy so far, but now she's mad and she's reckless at the best of times.

HOW is no one seeing that Danielle is a traitor after that game? How can anyone even doubt that Rob is a traitor after his big play--and to be called out by BOB, of all people? And WTF is Danielle thinking when she says she needs to get rid of Carolyn so she can get some unknown person in the tower to work with her so she can take out Rob? Why start a campaign against Carolyn when there's already momentum against Rob?
