Traitors (TV show)

Freddie?

I think the only issue with that is that “The challenge only ends when two cages touch the platforms” so they still have to drop two to complete. I still wish they would have spent more time trying to maximise the money though

Thursday 9th episode:

Goodness me - what a terrible, terrible group of people!

The only likeable ones are the Traitors and Freddy, really. Jury’s out on Fosia and the diplomat. The rest are thoroughly objectionable or a just a bit meh.

Gameplay wise they should kill Fosia. But for my viewing enjoyment make it Livi.

I’m liking the odd flash of more steel from Linda…

I’m sorry to be mean but the tears HAVE TO STOP. Seriously. It’s a game. They aren’t best friends. It’s a game.

LIVI DID YOU HEAR THAT?

Admittedly this was good TV at parts. This clique issue was the first time I shouted at the TV. They were all so offended by the idea of a group. Convinced they aren’t a group. Then acted like a group. And slight humble pie when others told them “Yeah bro you’re a group”.

I think the group are just not likeable, which is a shame. Linda will be gone before the end. Freddy I still like but he seems so young still and struggles to articulate what he means, so he gets into holes and that’s why people are gunning for him constantly.

I’m sure Livi is good TV for some but for me she just annoyed me this episode

I think Fosia will be murdered. I think they should murder Livi; then Freddy or Leon will be done next and gives the traitors a bit more time.

Oh and they weighed too much on “As God is my witness”. It’s a phrase. I don’t see why she should hide the fact she is Christian. Fosia may well be Muslim as an example; it doesn’t mean she can’t play the game nor do I think they would make an issue out of her mentioning it if she is. Just a very odd thing to think, and it actually took me by surprise because the first I heard was someone saying they were “annoyed by the religious stuff” which I can’t imagine them saying about anyone else.

I actually really liked this. They banished today for completely the right reasons for the first time in ages. It’s just a shame that they were completely down the wrong path.

I also thought the challenge was really good. It’s just a shame that they got a run of correct doors, that ruined the entertainment a little.

Anyone double-dipping? Traitors US started last night!

It can be annoying for the viewers 100%. That said, I am ok with seeing Freddy cry. Freddy is 20, muscular and good looking - if some teenage boys see him crying and it helps them realise that it is ok to cry themselves, I am ok with it.

Nothing wrong with crying but cry at things that aren’t a game or about people who you’ve known for 3 days. I’m being harsh but it just isn’t a good set up for life.

Livi is OTT.

Freddie was caught in the moment.

We also don’t live the emotion from the outside, I can imagine it’s quite tense.

Might apply next year.

We don’t you’re right but I still stand by that it’s a mentally tough game and it’s known by this point. It’s uncomfortable viewing and I don’t think it’s healthy if you can’t handle it at this beginning stage.

I’m happy to agree to disagree here. Of course men cry; it’s nothing to do with gender. I don’t point out any one person; it’s the collective. It’s far more than I’ve noticed on other series and it’s concerning.

Or maybe live action community meet up.

I fear this was awfully prophetic…

Yeah. I’m not really enjoying this season nearly as much. If it doesn’t improve this will be the last season I watch. It just feels like a generic reality TV show at this point (and I don’t usually watch/enjoy reality TV).

Fair, but on my side I’m bloody loving this.

I’d also say that we’re at the point now in reality TV that people know they won’t become household names off the back of appearing on the show.

Anyway, a little gutted that one of the traitors didn’t volunteer themselves for the death match. I’m also not sure how the logistics of the final round will work? Surely the person who doesn’t have the card dealt to them can’t win?

Also, how on earth did Dan end up going over Linda?!??!!

Okay, Fri 10th spoilers:

So glad Livi went for my viewing enjoyment. She was v annoying

Fosia now grating on me. Glad Alexander and Anna got the life cards at the end - couldn’t really care less which of the other two goes

Dan basically murdered himself. The karma was strong for playing such a selfish game

Is Alex basically a background character? Can he get murdered or something?

Lisa is much better with PRIEST MODE active

Linda is becoming my firm favourite, just because how appalling she is, yet somehow seems to dodge every bullet

I think Dan’s theory about the traitor being close to him will do for Minah in a few episodes… With Londa dodging it again!

Overall, much better episode today. Much enjoyment.

I was a bit puzzled by it. They were not told they could choose themselves. Claudia telling the four players they were not necessarily all faithfuls could have been a red herring. That said, it was also said that they would murder face to face - so maybe if there were two players left and one was a traitor, they could have murdered them at the table.

Really enjoyed the last two episodes again, particularly episode 6

I am happy that the clique has essentially been eliminated. Feel like they’ve got rid of essentially all the players that I didn’t really like which should just make the game a bit more enjoyable (even if it did make good TV with them…)

The challenges in the last two have been good. I liked that episode 5 was a bit less serious which added a bit more fun to it.

Definitely feels like a more divided group compared with previous series and that Linda is definitely banished soon. Minah will be banished if they question again why she’s still in the game as it is suspicious why she hasn’t been murdered yet. Saying that, she has played such a brilliant game as a traitor. Not perfect, but basically done everything she would need to do to play the game effectively. Linda on the other hand isn’t the best but at least she’s entertaining

Liking the twist at the end of episode 6. Good way of doing something in plain sight rather than it simply being another murder in plain sight.

As a whole, probably enjoying this more than series 1 but a bit less than series 2. The people they’ve got on feel a bit different but I wouldn’t say that’s a bad thing and it doesn’t to me feel like they are after fame, especially considering reality TV doesn’t make too many people famous anymore.

I think one reason the series feels a bit different is because the cast feel really quite normal. You don’t have anyone that knows how to play these strategy games They don’t feel as if they are going in with a plan, other than the few people who are lying, or Dan wanting to work on his own (which isn’t how to play this game really). Despite it being series 3, they seem more out of their depth on coming up with effective strategies.

Would absolutely love her to win. She has played this game so well so far and is being able to control so much of the narrative without being way too obvious

Episode 6:

I also wish there was one Traitor in the mix for that challenge - could have only been Minah though as Linda had a shield, but would have been a good mix up. Will be keen to see if any of the Faithful 4 clock onto Claud’s “Traitors or Faithful” bit as a bluff.

Did seem like from the edit that the challenge didn’t explain to the Traitors, that they could put themselves in, some on Reddit theorise it was only noticed late on by the production crew and only added the “Traitor or Faithful” ahead of the game otherwise it may have been more obvious the the 4 - from what I can recall there would have been no other challenge that directly confirms (or strongly suggests) that all the players are Faithful.

Was really hoping Linda would secretly write Minah on the board while she wasn’t watching.

To be fair though, if she’d have immediately taken the card back from her, it would be immediately taken again as that would have given it away - much like the double Fozia/Leon trade in the last round - so she likely wouldn’t have hung onto it.

I realllly want to see someone get caught in the act on the murder in plain sight challenges.

For this episodes challenge;

While I thought the challenge itself was a bit bland, I did enjoy how much chaos it caused at the round table. A game where basically everyone (nearly) has to gunge someone else, everyone then taking it as a sign of Traitorism if they gunged their little fwends. They’re getting so hung up on the wrong signals, I love it

Also, once again Linda shows off some Acting™ at breakfast.

Even more funny was how good she thought her acting was. Really hope she stays in longer, love how oblivious she is to her own traiter skills.
