I am a few episodes behind. but am loving The Traitors so far! I don’t watch much reality TV but this one is just a lot of fun! It is really good to see them all work together in the missions but then turn on each other as they get to the round table. Unlike some reality shows, it is more about the game itself than the people which just makes it a whole lot more interesting.
I really don’t know what tactics I would use if I was on it. Anything the faithful do seems to turn at least one faithful against them. Too forceful and you are clearly throwing people under the bus so are a traitor, but too quiet and you are clearly hiding away so are a traitor. Makes you question what tactics people would end up using if it returns for a 2nd series*.
Claudia is also a brilliant choice of host for this. I really can’t pin on the reason why, but she does balance the serious and the kinda absurd nature of the show (i.e. talking about murder as if it is an everyday action like having breakfast) really well.
*which it should. The response to it has been very positive and the viewing figures have been increasing across the series which is rare for many shows nowadays. Airing outside of the World Cup would probably help as well.
