The Traitors

Over the cliffhanger episodes.

MJ is looking in the direction of the person she voted for.
 
Binged the entire first season of the UK show over the weekend - and it helped cement my thoughts that the UK show is way ahead of the US show as being the better of the two.

Due to it leaning completely on those with previous reality TV experience this year, so much of each episodes is spent watching the cast perform to create good TV (especially in the confessionals and in the Traitor Turret). Yes the US show is significantly more confrontational and dramatic, but if thats what I was wanting I'd probably start watching a scripted drama instead.

Unless US has an all "normal people" season, I can't see myself coming back. Seeing all these reality stars together on one show doesn't appeal to me because I've never heard of 90% of them.

I watch a board game channel on you tube and they have had ivan from season one on there a few times - he seems pretty funny - how was he on the traitors? I haven't watched any of them at all and wondering if it is worth trying

They’re not bad. Good characters. Show is not being renewed for more seasons, so now they’re pretty much legendary.
 
Much better US episode this week (the penultimate one), even if the outcomes were somewhat inevitable.

as long as that is legendary in a good way and not legendary in Jalinsky's own mind kind of way :)
 
10play had the final episode up hours before US got to see it.

I like the reunion shows.
 
Not bothered with the reunion show (don't think I watched last years either) but having cooled off in the final few episodes the finale did deliver. It's amazing really how a format where on paper there are just two possible outcomes of the finale has actually delivered several variations of those outcomes, with what we saw in the US finale something I hadn't seen before (and this is the 8th series I've watched - 2 UK, 2 AU, 1 NZ, 1 Canada, 2 US).
 
The reunion show is great, as it shows how bitter some of them are.

Take Peppermint she hinted she was booted because she was different. Hinted that Trishelle was racist etc.

She was booted because she said she was a Traitor instead of Faithful. 😆
 
I watched the reunion, found it to mostly be a waste of time. Generally a question was asked to someone, you could tell that they probably gave quite a long answer, but it got reduced to a single sentence sound-bite and then moved on.
 
The second NZ series has been superb - such a step up in production on the first with a great batch of contestants and good game play all round and some moments which genuinely took me by surprise. One of the best seasons I've seen. Just a shame it's probably the last due to WBD axing original productions for Three.

I tried to watch the NZ show, but I guess I have a bias that our versions of international shows are terrible and just couldn't get into it.
 
Giving the Canadian show a go and watching the new season that started last week. Am enjoying it so far, more so than when I first stepped into the US show earlier in the year. Even though its a half celebrity, half civilian season, I literally don't know who any of them are other than Neda. None of them seem to be hamming it up for the cameras like the US "celebrities" that made it quite off-putting to watch.
 
Yes. Early days yet on the second season so will see how it goes. I do like their host, location and they do some original missions too but the first season never really clicked so hopefully it's second time lucky.

Completely agree. Its what I wish the US show was - very similar to international shows but at the same time different enough that it doesn't feel like a season of the UK show from an alternate universe.

The host is terrific.
