The Traitors

I am not usually writing reviews, it's my first one actually but i feel like this show needs more love.

After watching "The Mole", i was left with a gap,, something was not right. And a friend recommended me this show. I managed to finish it less than a day. Even though i did not like the winner, I loved the show.

Throughout the show I would find myself pausing the show for 5-10 minutes straight and calculating what my moves would be if I were a traitor. It really turns the wheels inside your brain.

You see thought processes which feel more genuine and make more sense rather than the ones in " The Mole". It always makes you question what would you do in the player's situation or whether you would've chosen better.

The cast is diverse, from silent players to more vocal ones with bigger personalities which does make it more interesting.

Nice looking mansion, nice sets, nice contests and nice costumes, really portrays them as murderers from a secret order.

Witty and good looking presenter. If he would ever steal my wife I would totally understand it.

I preferred our own version (the British one) but this was still good.

I binged it over a weekend. After the first couple of episodes I decided to skip past the challenges. They weren't very entertaining and felt more like filler for each episode. I may have missed the odd discussion but I can live with that. I want to see the scheming and the back stabbing play out, not someone walking over a bridge with trapdoors or retrieving something out of a lake.

As with our version though I was never too sure which side I wanted to win. I can admire a good traitor. Especially when they are saying one thing and doing another like it's normal to them. I can also admire a faithful when they cleverly put together who it is and why.

All in all it's a good watch and harmless entertainment. Will your favourite win? You'll have to watch it to see.

Absolutely in love with The Traitors (Australia). As a huge fan of The Mole, including the new reboot, one of the biggest feedback I had (along with many others) was that they wished The Mole also had stake in the game as well to make the game a bit more competitive. Here comes The Traitors, a new game that is slightly similar, but with a much better twist - the "traitors" are selected from the contestants pool (not a hired actor), and everyone has to compete to win the money. The social game is even more intense in this one, because you have to stay off everyone's radar so you don't look suspicious, AND the Traitors' radar so they don't 'murder' you for being a threat.

In this debut Australian version, I really liked their casting and Roger is great host as well. Each episode takes you on a wild ride where you don't know who's next.

I haven't seen confirmation for a season 2 yet, but in the finale they did mention see you next year. So I hope that's confirmation lol. Love this show!

I love Traitors, I've watched Traitors US, Traitors UK, and then started watching Traitors AU. Season 1 of AU wasn't bad, I really liked that the shield protected them from banishment and murder, thought that made a lot of sense, and really made it worthwhile for traitors and faithful. Season 2 AU, they took that away, so the shield only protected you from murder just like the other versions.

My main problem with season 2 though is the people... These are some of the dumbest people I've ever seen. I've never wanted to throw the remote at the TV more than watching them. They all deserve to lose, both faithfuls, and traitors. Just give the money to the host, Rodger, as a bonus for having to sit through their season.

Please use this season's footage if you've ever been incarcerated by these 2 former law enforcement officials. They're clearly terrible investigators, and any cases they've worked on should be thrown out the window. I can just imagine them being like, well we found this guy covered in blood holding the murder weapon at the scene, but he's the victims former lover, so we're convinced it was the 90 year old woman at the deli across the street, who has no connection to the victim whatsoever, because she didn't get off the toilet to answer the door when we came to question her. That makes her our prime suspect!

I discovered this recently. Binged watch the french canadian version AND the UK version. I have nothing but love for the show. I just watched the australian version and it was okay, but nothing more than that. Not a fan of Rodger, he wasn't bad by any mean, just didn't love him. There was several moments where i found he was talking to much before round tables, almost giving hints as who was/were the traitors. Find it way easier for traitors in this version compare to the previous one I've watched. All and all it was far from bad, but some details here and there that, if I were them, I would've stick to the original version. 6/10.
