The Traitors

My boss kept asking why I wasn't watching this and insisted I get onto it so we could talk about it in our work catch ups.

I resisted, because I thought reality tv competitions had been done to death and so why would I bother?

I started watching on Saturday afternoon (yesterday) because I thought I'd give it a go and see what the fuss was about.

I watched eight episodes one after the other, even though it was nuts and I couldn't understand for one minute the reasoning behind anyone's theories!

I've watched another episode this afternoon and am gutted I have to wait until Tuesday for the next one!

It's more addictive than nicotine.

Everyone cries. Nothing makes sense.

It's brilliant.

Ordinary people compete for the change to win £120,000.

Full of twists and turns, this has been the most compulsive gameshow on the box for a very long time.

I love the originality of it, it's absolutely compulsive viewing, I didn't like the look of it initially, but I ended up binge watching it, it's one of those shows that you can't help but get drawn into.

So some of the challenges are a little irritating, and some of the acting is a little bit dodgy at times, but those are minor irritations, it's been the first show myself and family have all sat down to watch together for quite some time.

Claudia is definitely one of the best presenters out there, and she's marvellous and understated at the same time.

Love it, 9/10.

What a show. Love it. Full of action and psychological play The worst bit wierdly is missions for the money which to me has no impact at all.

But the show is immense and exciting and fun.

Claudia is a perfect host for this show with her whacky personality I never watch one show after another as got a short attention span so need variety.

But i watched 3 in a row and then 2 today one catch up and one live.

One of best of shows ive seen for a while.

Love the tension between competitors as not knowing who is a faithful and a traitor.

Funny how each night think oh they will keep off this person and then a total different person chosen showing the insecurities this game is bringing up to people in game.

But makes a damn good show.

Love it a defo 10.

Just an amazing emotional experiment into human behaviour. Loved every single second of this. By the end of the series I felt like I personally knew all of the remaining contestants. I hated the 4 day gap over the weekend waiting for the next set of episodes. I thought the challenges were really high quality. It can't be easy to set physical challenges that are appropriate for such a diverse set of contestants, but somehow the BBC have done it. Just a phenomenal pre-Christmas viewing experience. I really hope this gets renewed for a second serious. Claudia Winkelman was great. Clearly moved by the final results.

I only watched this programme to start with as I love Claudia Winkleman! I bet she had a whale of a time making it and inflicting/encouraging such cruelty! Ha ha... I am not usually a big fan of reality shows but this sounded refreshingly different. I was totally hooked from the very first one and couldn't miss a single episode! I love everything about it... the tasks, the scary round table, the armoury, and the conspiring followed by the murders! So many twists and turns too... A very good selection of totally different characters made it compulsive viewing... interesting to see how they change towards each other throughout the days!... they had better make a series 2!!
