Prepare for tears.
Gretel Killeen is also hosting.

Shame what happened with Tim Dormer because he would be great value on this show.

Actually a decent cast.

I think Tully is a great fit for the show.

 

[Rison]

With this casting, I can only assume the official title of the show won't have the word "Celebrity" in it.

He was never my thing ever since 2013, and I was unpopular in saying that here, and got the flak for it (especially when I said that Ben '12 was the best winner of the Nine era).

Half agree about Tim, disagree about Ben though

Great cast imo. Will honestly just be watching for the cast. It’s great to see Australian reality tv stars come together as we barely see this.

Ok love her with all my being but suddenly I’m not so convinced.

The characterisation is a bit jarring and might take some time to get used to.

 

[Hunter's_Mckay]

She will be fantastic on this show

This is deleted? What is it?

This is deleted? What is it?

Oh what! Weird. It was an official video of Gretel, in character as the host (with a wild hairdo ) reading out the names of all the cast members. It was posted on the official Traitors AU profile, as well as their story.

A residual cache of the now-deleted post seems to still appear on my story feed, so I managed to screenrecord it for those who wanna see:

Did Tully get it pulled because Goddess Gretel pronounced her surname Smith and not Smyth? I assume Smyth rhymes with scythe, right?

 

[BBantUK07]

Love this for her! If I remember correctly she has a musical theatre background, so this will be right up her alley.

I reckon if they promoted this during bb and started it mid Jan before mafs, in I’m a celebs usual spot, it could do really well.

Pales next to the current UK cast. This is all reality peeps, many not particularly memorable or dynamic.

It’s apples and oranges comparing it to the UK series imo, they have a far wider pool of celebrities that are willing to appear on a reality show.

The UK version has given the show prestige, so Australia could have capitalised on that and picked from a better celebrity pool than a bunch of reality stars. Legit actors, musicians, comedians, game show hosts, serious journos, sportspeople, etc, with a few suitable reality TV people in the mix. This bunch of reality “stars” is even worse than the cast from shows like I’m a Celebrity for the fact that it isn’t even a diverse mix, it’s just reality people, who are only marginally better than influencers in terms of celebrity. If they can cast better talent on shows like DWTS why not The Traitors? Imagine what someone like Shaun Micallef could do on a show like that.

Worth remembering they're not billing this as Celebrity Traitors.
