…well…I finally finished Season 2 of The Traitors NZ… it was great too… I so laughed at the ending… the final faithful standing was so stupid… and deserved what happened… so bloody stupid… and now?… I’m a couple of episodes into Season 1 of The Traitors Australia… some stupid bitch is supposed to be a psychic… (more like a psycho)… she hasn’t got one prediction right yet the stupid bitch… I hope that she gets voted out real quick… what’s really annoying me is… they’re all treating her as if she has a legitimate psychic ability… she hasn’t had any ‘prediction’ come true… she’s making shit up and is making herself look more pathetic every day… even I could be more of a psychic than her… I’ll make one prediction right now… she won’t be on this show for very long… anyway… on with the next episode… cheers.
Knew you'd like the NZ version - the second even better than the first I think. Probably wise you left the Aussie ones till last (though Canada is out there too!).

…there’s a Canadian version too?… sadly it’s not on Tenplay so I wonder where I can catch up with it?… after the Australian versions I think that there is only The Traitors India for me to see now on Tenplay next… I’m just hoping that it’s in English lol!… and… you was right Brekkie… I so loved the NZ uversion… I wonder if there are other English speaking countries like Ireland or Scotland for instance available?… I’m now officially hooked on The Traitor franchise… it’s become probably amongst one my few favourite shows now… cheers.
…I’ll have to try and look up on how we can watch Canada or Ireland from Australia… I’ve just watched Season 1 of The Traitors Australia… as at the end of Season 2 NZ… I laughed my head off at the pure gullibility and totally clueless look on the faithful’s face when he found a Traitor was in his midst… the look on his face was pure gold!… what an imbecile… I wasn’t pleased with the eventual winner either…
…in Season 2 of The Traitors Australia it has ‘celebrities’ in it… Ash Pollard? from any Reality show you’ve ever watched in Australia… (just pick one)… and Luke whatever his name is?… from a few seasons of Survivor… they are in it… I hope they go soon… real quickly in fact… after this Season of Australia 2 TenPlay only have India left… that will be…um… say… interesting I guess?… hence me needing to source Canada and Ireland lol!… cheers.
I finally got around to binge watching the first two AU seasons for the first time. All I can say is: wow. Did I hate them? Not really. Was I screaming at my TV and becoming unnecessarily angry while watching them? Absolutely.
Season 2… I can’t even begin to describe my feelings while watching this one. No wonder it’s considered the worst/most frustrating season of The Traitors ever. I was literally screaming aloud during every single Banishment for how fucking DUMB these players were. All of them. I couldn’t believe how twisted every episode became. It was infuriating but somehow, by the halfway point, that’s actually what made it so compelling to keep watching. Extremely satisfying ending though… I loathed Sam. Honestly, he and literally everyone else who was cast (aside from maybe Abigail and Luke) were just so beyond bad at this game. I can’t believe how stupid they were. Also, who knows why Sarah was cast in the first place - the most idiotic reality TV contestant I think I’ve ever seen.
Gosh I love this show, and I’m now even more excited for the revamped AU version.
…you know what?… I so totally agree with you the Theorist… this group were the most pathetic bunch of ingrates that have ever played The Traitors anywhere in the world to date… how bloody stupid can they be?… the night before he was murdered Luke named both traitors and gave the reasons to get rid of them on a platter to them… but they were still too stupid to understand… such imbeciles… I hated Sam… such a smarmy little git… (the type who needs to accidentally run into your clenched fist with knuckledusters on four or five hundred times)… Liam is as dumb as shit… a complete moron… (was he in love with Sam?… he was so blinded towards Sam)…
…it cracks me up when Psychics / ex Custom officers / ex Police officers / Judges / world renown card players / Psychologists and other such ‘experts’ in being able to ‘read’ people so well and boldly bragging… “I’m an EXTREMELY good judge of characters and they should be worried… I never fail!”… they are usually SO BAD at figuring anyone out… I can understand why crime is increasing in Australia if they are in charge of rounding up criminals based on their judgements… Sam is a real slime ball… the way he talks to the camera about how brilliant him and his plans are and the way he can manipulate the morons… shows me that he’s an insignificant insect in the real world.. a nothing… he’s a festering pimple on the backside of humanity… (and they were his good points)… I bet the little shithead wins it… if he does I’m gonna be so pissed off… I’m just hoping that the new Aussie series with Gretal as host is so much better and has some intelligent cast members in it… I really do… (ANYTHING has to be better than these bunch of simpletons)… cheers.
…Sarah is so fucking stupid… I cannot believe how gullible and idiotic her logic is… it’s beyond belief… it’s obvious now that she will be murdered tonight… she so deserves to be… cheers.
…I so wish that I could hit Sam as hard as I could in the face with a baseball bat… (and I’m a non violence type too)… the smug little git… I can’t stand the little turd… cheers.
…and the end result of The Traitor's Australia Season 2?… well…
…apparently there has never been 3 Traitors left at the end anywhere in the World before… because there were 3 Traitors left they had to make a decision… either all share it or steal it… if they all decide to steal it then nobody gets the Silver… the whole 3 chose to steal it so none of them got anything!… lol!… that’s right… NOBODY GOT ANYTHING!… because they were so greedy they went home broke… nada… sweet fuck all… they lost everything lol!…
…what I love about this ending is just knowing that Sam got nothing was the highlight of the series for me… I would’ve been so pissed off if he ended up with it… even though the Faithfuls were the most stupid bunch of idiots to ever play this game… the perfect ending saved this series for me… I LOVE IT!… the look on Blakes face was wonderful to see… he was almost crying lol!…the Silver was so close but so far away… the look on Sam’s face was even better… even though he kept smiling like a used car salesman selling you a Lemon… you could see him seething underneath in total disbelief… it couldn't have happened to a better person… so so so funny… I’ve hated this series… it’s now one of my most favourites just because of the final result!… lol!…
…I have now watched every show that’s available… 21 episodes from Australia / 48 episodes from the UK / 9 episodes of Celebrity UK / 32 episodes from the USA and 22 episodes from NZ… that’s 132 episodes altogether methinks!… aw man!… what a bingefest!…
…I was going to watch The Traitors India but it’s in Indian with subtitles and English… I couldn’t be arsed to read the subtitles so that’s out for me… I’d like to watch the Irish and Canadian versions but can’t get them… I think that I might try Dailymotion… they helped me see Dr Who episodes before now so who knows?… anyway… that’s all done now so what to watch next?… cheers.

Hahahaha, the difficulty of those "share or steal" situations is the likelihood of ending up with nothing is so high that you may as well just try to take it all.
You may remember the game show "Shafted" hosted by Red Symonds. At the end of each episode, the final two players would decide if they were going to share the prize pot or try to steal the lot for themselves.
Let's look at the possibilities:
- Both share, each gets half the money.
- You steal, the other shares, you take all the money.
- You share, the other steals, you lose the money.
- Both steal, nobody gets the money.
There's always a 50-50 chance that you won't win any money, so you may as well try to take it all when there's a good chance you won't get anything at all anyway. Funnily enough, the show only lasted a couple of months, because by the end all the players had figured this out and everyone was just choosing to shaft. Nobody won any money for weeks hahaha.
And in the case where there's three players, the chance of winning any money is even smaller, so small in fact that you may as well go for broke and try to take it all.
So yeah, if it gets to a situation like this, there's no point trying to be nice to win a smaller amount of money when you've got the exact same chance of winning more (and the chances of winning any money at all are so small).
…here’s my summation and observations of watching all of The Traitors Worldwide from my best to my worst… number 1 being the best…
1)… The Traitors UK… by far the best version…I really loved these… they…
a)… they used ‘normal’ people… no ‘Celebrities’ at all… that’s why it worked so well… (they had a special season of their own thank god)… it was played as it truly should be… it was a pleasure to watch…
b)… the English treat it as a traditional quaint ‘who-dun-it’… like a ‘murder mystery’ playing as if they are all a ‘Sherlock Holmes’ type of character as the game should be played…
c)… there is never any malicious behaviour between anybody… they all treat each other with respect most times… when they apologise for voting for them they say it as if they mean it… they’re actually too polite most times lol!…
2)… The Celebrity Traitors UK… a deserved 2nd best version… they…
a)… they gave the Celebrities their own show to shine… it was pure fun to watch this… they showed sides of themselves that we don’t usually get to see…
b)… the eventual winner was the least likely winner… more the reason to love it lol!…
3)… The Traitors NZ…… another pleasure to watch… they…
a)… it was obviously done on a lower budget but it gave it a pleasing ‘quaintness’… it was filmed in a Lodge and looked like a higher classed roosadly it had some NZ Celebrities scattered among them… they should have a season of their own like the UK…
b)… trying to interpret some words in Kiwi is funny as… they even supplied subtitles for some sentences lol!…
c)… they provided some of the best gameplay that I have seen in the game Worldwide as far as I’m concerned… again… it was a pleasure to watch…
…I accidentally posted the above post and tried to edit it and took too long and it posted it before I finished it so avoid that one and now I’m reposting the complete version… here goes…

a)… it was obviously done on a lower budget but it gave it a pleasing ‘quaintness’… it was filmed in a Lodge and looked like a higher classed roadside Motel to me…
b)… trying to interpret some words in Kiwi is as funny as… they even supplied subtitles for some sentences lol!…
c)… they provided some of the best gameplay that I have seen in the game Worldwide as far as I’m concerned… again… it was a pleasure to watch…
d)… sadly it had some NZ Celebrities scattered among them… they should have a season of their own like the UK…
4)… The Traitors Australia… it’s not that good… I hope the new version with Gretel is way better… they…
a)… are all Australians as stupid and incompetent as these imbeciles in both seasons?… they had a ecouple that showed that they had a brain (Luke and I hate to say it… S… S… S… aw fukkit!… Sam)… but nearly ALL of the other players were so stupid!… they were an embarrassment to watch on just how fucking stupid they were… just plain fucking brainless… they were idiots!… add to that… there were clues and facts handed to them on a plate by Luke before he was murdered but they all were too stupid to even look at them…
b)… every single Faithful in both seasons totally deserved everything that happened to them lol!… I got more pleasure out of looking at their stupid faces when they were evicted because of their stupidity… seeing some cry when realising they were so stupid and just found out who the Traitors were lol!…
c)… just Sam alone in season 2 made me loathe this Australian iteration of the show… he is even more obnoxious than ANYONE from the USA series and that’s saying something!… he’d be a small insect in the real World… an insignificant nothing… as I once said before… a festering pimple on the backside of humanity… please never let him grace my TV again… he’s so toxic… it’s only the fantastic result of the end of season 2 that saved it for me… I was so happy and loved seeing their faces when everything went south because of their greed lol!…
d)… Roger as host… um yeah!… thank god Gretel is taking over the reins… yep!… definitely not a happy chappy about the Aussie version…
5)… The Traitors USA… this is going to be so big that I might exceed the 1000 word limit so I’ll do a separate post to finish this off… so… cheers.
This came up on FB and resonated with me.
It's very much giving "David Genat in Australian Survivor All Stars" vibes, where a mediocre player looks incredible and wins convincingly just because in comparison the rest of the players refuse to actually play.
5)… The Traitors USA… I totally hated this version… ALL Seasons… they…
a)… they have a great host in Alan Cummins… he is perfect for the role but that’s about it…
b)… most of them are ‘Celebrities’… a few ‘normal’ people… about 90% of them are loathsome toxic obnoxious camera seekers that only care about themselves… they are mostly disgusting individuals and how they have actually become ‘Celebrities’ is way beyond me!…
c)… all you ever hear is them ‘trash talking’ each other… not every now and then… BUT ALL THE FUCKING TIME!… day in… day out… they continuously do it to get the most air time…
d)… they never genuinely say a nice word for ANYBODY!… whenever they say anything nice it’s never genuine… it’s always so toxic…
e)… granted… there are some great tacticians in the game but again… all of that ‘trash talk’ that goes with it makes me turn off instantly and not bother with what they’re saying and therefore never hearing their complete plans…
f)… talk about a bunch of whingey whiney sooks when it comes to doing ANY tasks… they moan and groan about getting their fucking fingernails dirty!… (that’s men and women alike)… WHY GO ON A SHOW AT ALL IF YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO ‘DO’ SOMETHING FOR FUCKS SAKE?…
g)…is it a fashion show?… do any of them possess any ‘normal’ clothing?… they’re all on the fashion runway at all times (probably while sleeping too)… having to wear overalls at times must be killing them…
h)… as I said… watching such toxicity and vile spiteful behaviour by ‘Celebrities’ did my head in and turned me off enjoying this version of the show…
i)… none of them are playing Traitors… they’re all playing Survivor / I’m a Celebrity / Big Brother or whatever show they came from…
j)… they are all camera savvy and know what to ‘trash talk’ to weiled to get the greatest camera air time…
k)… overall… I did not like watching the USA version at all… as I said… Alan Cummins is the only good thing about this show… thank god he’s in it…
…well… that’s my take on all the different countries versions… I can’t wait to see Canada’s and Ireland’s versions… I think that Ireland’s version will be quite volatile… lol!… cheers.
As for the current Traitors US - yes, the faithful are incredibly dumb but I do think Rob has played his role well and remained likeable throughout. Can't see anything other than a Rob win at the moment. The good person in me hopes it isn't Maura he takes to the end but the shockface fan needs that outcome!
