The Traitors: UK S2 concludes. Australia S2 on iPlayer now

Curls wrote:One person did mention it, maybe ross?

I couldn't discount that, though the faithful pretty much did!

2x10- Mollie was a moron. If Jaz was the only traitor in the game, he would have voted to end it.

At that point either Jaz and Harry are both traitors and Jaz was trying to win solo or he's a confirmed human. Harry is the only person in both scenarios you can't trust.

Maybe Jaz's argument got cut out in editing but I would have argued at that point that if they vote Harry out and he's a faithful, they can still split the money with him after the show is finished.

Jaz's best chance of winning though was voting Andrew in the previous vote and hoping Harry got knocked out in the cointoss after the deadlocked vote.

The Traitors Australia S2 - Episode 2

Taking a bit of a break before watching the Oz series.

8-)

Nobody seemed to make the minor leap that the traitors might want to take a/the shield to effectively waste it.

Just finished this (the UK series, season 2).

I have not watched a reality show since Big Brother Season 3, and I don't really watch anything that is in the public consciousness, but I have to say I absolutely loved that. First thing my Wife and I have proper binge watched.

Might well go back and watch S1 and the Oz version now.

Anyone else finished S2 of the Aussie season yet?

Just wrapped it up tonight.
Ending spoilers...

I do like the host though. Roger is genuinely quite funny :lol:

Finished it last night.

Sam is awful. His 'We deserved it' rant was just slimy.

Sarah and the other faithfuls were just completely useless. They didnt deserve to win.

Yeah it was a pretty shitty way to behave I thought.

Finished UK series last night.

Andrew went too hard to Jaz when trying to side with him, should have been more nuanced. Jaz should have gone Harry in Round 1. I'm glad he went for it though, even if it didnt come off as he can end his game knowing he tried. Mollie should have played the game in front of her and voted Harry out. The name wiping was TV gold though, and Harry made a good point in the wrap up episode that they were all exhausted by that point so it was harder to think clearly, making the shield play more effective.

We should hire out a castle and play our own IRL AYA? game. DML can run and record it because he does it for a living.

But more seriously, one of us should definitely apply to go on it. I cannot lie without being seen immediately so I'd be rubbish.

Australian S2 is unbelievable. Sam is a strawberry floating horrible person. I know that's extreme to say for a gameshow but he's a bully.

EXCLUSIVE: Star traitors and faithfuls are set to face off on in the UK in a celebrity version of smash hit format The Traitors, which Deadline understands is set to launch on the BBC next year.

Several sources have told us that an agreement between Studio Lambert, which makes the UK and U.S. versions of The Traitors, and the BBC, which broadcasts it, is close. The hope is that the first celeb version will film next year and go out later in 2025, by which time three seasons of the "civilian" version will have aired. Host Claudia Winkleman is expected to present the celeb version.

Let's hope the series' high profile will attract more than reality-show "celebs".

Almost finished S2 of the Australian version.

It's become almost unwatchable. It's hard to believe it's not setup the Faithful are so beyond stupid that I almost have to think they're just running down the clock till the endgame deliberately doing what the Traitors want so they survive.

It's a concern for the show as a whole now I think because the last 3 series I've watched there's been an element of sandbagging just to get to the end and when that happens the whole show becomes pointless until the final 2 episodes.

It's going to be a tricky balancing act for the producers of all the versions going forward I think.

Do you let the players just get on with it and risk it being completely dominated by one or two players? Or do you manage the game to keep it open till the end but lose viewers because it's being manipulated?

Aussie season 2 is definitely a case of the former I think.

Finished Aussie S2. I bet the producers couldn't believe their luck with that gooseberry fool. Just beyond belief. The twist at the end I wonder if it was a built in possibility from the start. If it was then the Traitors were just as dumb as the Faithful, as it was so obvious what was going to happen. If they came up with it on the fly it's a bit harsh on the Traitors.

That said everyone in the show was so stupid (with the exception of the 2 who worked out it was Sam early on) that I don't have sympathy for anyone. Not even Blake who allowed himself to be so easily bullied by Sam and didn't have the guts to turn on him when given multiple opportunities. Sam unbelievably seemed genuinely surprised by what happened at the end. And Camille who was equally a bad Traitor as she was a Faithful.

This version should be shown to kids as a demonstration of why you shouldn't be an arsehole or stupid and easily led by arseholes. I'm curious about the editing of this as each Banishment I couldn't believe what was happening. Shout out to Keith for being the only one dumb enough who upon being voted out still hadn't worked out it was Sam.

In terms of drama and incredulity this might be the best series yet. As a 'game' though it was certainly the worst as everyone was just a complete moron. Yes even Sam.
