The Traitors

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!

One of my FAVORITE game shows - EVER!!!

SO addictive, in fact, that I had to look for more, and BINGE-watched (at the expense of being late for work the following morning), not ONLY the U. S. version, but the UK and Australian versions. It is SO good, that if I understood or spoke Danish, or if it had subtitles (and I knew where to stream it), I would immediately watch the original as well.

I was about to add that if you enjoy game shows, this is a DO NOT MISS show, BUT that statement falls short in describing what this series actually is.

This is not only a series where players compete for money. It's a whodunnit, a thriller, a mystery, a drama, a comedy ... it is excellent and addictive television.

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.

Such a fantastic concept for a game show. Usually I avoid reality TV like the plague. Vapid, toxic and self-obsessed types hungry for their five minuted. However, having loved the UK version I had to give this a go. Unfortunately by episode 3 the show has given itself away as being somewhat set-up, i.e 'the note'. This didn't sit right with me and then subsequent events became somewhat predictable. Additionally including existing reality stars felt forced for the sake of drama. This is a show reflecting the complexities of trust and manipulation. It did not require egotists shouting over each other for the sake of entertainment. Moreover, two particular contests know each other which immedietly creates bias. A real shame.

I accidentally watched the first episode and it reminded me so much of the board game The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow (it's literally the game in a TV show format) and it gave me such a nostalgic feeling and happy memories of playing with my family I just had to watch it.

It was okay, some of the things didn't make much sense but it still gets you hyped and anxious to see the plot twists and how the contestants (I would prefer just regular non-celebrities) are thinking. I do have to say I found it odd that it had such a lower score compared to the UK version and having watched just 1 episode of the The Traitors UK I understand why. If you're curious, being the same format it can still be a very different show.

It's still worth it and if you don't know might as well check out the board game too :)
