The Traitors

Season 1 was fun to watch with real people, strategy, challenges, and game-play. So fun that I watched the Australia and UK versions as well. Season 2...not so much. What's with the recycled caricatures from other shows? Casting needs to understand there is a short shelf-life to these people. The drama has overtaken the fun of the game, and I'm finding it difficult to enjoy watching. Fake emotions, slights, indignation, you name it. Everything is so over the top. Alan should be the only character on the show, but his presence gets lost in the sea of fake nails, fake eyelashes and air-brushing. Phaedra in particular is difficult to watch, as she hasn't contributed anything to the games except endless pouting, mumbling, repeating what everyone else says and getting her 3-inch eyelashes caught in her fake bangs. Bring back normal people or this show should get muuuurrrderrred!

After really enjoying the UK version which has an IMBD rating of 8.8, I thought I would have a look at the US version. I was extremely disappointed to see that the US players were previous reality stars. Ugh...

The UK version, and I think tha Australian version are just average people. Sooooo much better. In season 1 of the US version, I got sick of some of the players. Some like Kate, were lazy. Typical US, very loud and false.

Seriously guys, watch the UK version for a wild ride. Our season 2 finale is tonight, and I am on the edge of my seat. Looking forward to watching th Ozzy version soon - all available on BBC iPlayer.

I turned it on because I love Alan Cummings. Gold right there.

But no, once it gets going, it was pure awesome. I binged it so fast. I wanted more. I rarely review things on here, but this one I want to help get the ratings/reviews/averages and get it out there. This show was so good.

There were times it was a bit too scripted; perhaps people were laying it on a bit thick. But overall, I loved every minute. I wanna be on this show, ha!

The settings, the challenges; I was yelling at the TV like a Boomer, just so into it. Drawn in from start to finish. I was never bored, I loved and hated who I was supposed to, and loved the direction of the show.

I can't wait for season 2.

I've been a huge fan of The Traitors since it first aired on British television just over a year ago.

I've watched a few countries rendition of this and I'm finding the American versions the least entertaining. There are 'famous reality show' contestants in it who people outside of America have never heard of. Most of them shouting over each over, trying to get their voice heard, and hoping for as much air time as they can get. It all feels elaborately staged, hammed up, and extremely fake. They even try and con the viewer into us believing they actually sleep at the castle. They don't, they are sent to a B&B each night!

It's worth a watch if you're fan. It's my least favourite out of all the countries I've have watched (UK, NZ, AUS and Canada).

USA: First season was great and it was interesting to see how the actual winner got all the way to the end. Challenges were good. There is no need to put "celebrities" into the cast! It makes it much less appealing and the cliques formed were according to what shows they were on. But, Alan Cummings is awesome as the host and tooo funny! Please choose regular contestants.

The UK and Australia Traitors were much better! Love the concept and it's interesting to watch the journey unfold! I think it could have been moved along better and scenes cut as they got repetitive. The praise purse for both of these countries was less than the USA yet the contestants tried harder to win. Cmon USA!
