The Traitors

Absolutely in love with The Traitors (Australia). As a huge fan of The Mole, including the new reboot, one of the biggest feedback I had (along with many others) was that they wished The Mole also had stake in the game as well to make the game a bit more competitive. Here comes The Traitors, a new game that is slightly similar, but with a much better twist - the "traitors" are selected from the contestants pool (not a hired actor), and everyone has to compete to win the money. The social game is even more intense in this one, because you have to stay off everyone's radar so you don't look suspicious, AND the Traitors' radar so they don't 'murder' you for being a threat.

In this debut Australian version, I really liked their casting and Roger is great host as well. Each episode takes you on a wild ride where you don't know who's next.

I haven't seen confirmation for a season 2 yet, but in the finale they did mention see you next year. So I hope that's confirmation lol. Love this show!

Now to the series.

I've seen 4 sessions now, the uk, swedish and Au versions. As done with all episodes and seasons , I basically skip all the challenges that has nothing to do Helping with the overall game at all, so it's pointless. It's Like a separate thing from the actual game.

Focusing on this season, I am concerned about the professionals people made out themselves to be and having so much peanuts for braincells. I don't know, maybe it mirrors the viewers also, that is why the producers casts this way, for the viewers to recognize themselves. Nahmsayin.

I notice the pattern in all these competitions is that there are the dumbnuts that makes it the farthest.

Even the Uk version. Although that was the best season of all because of the traitor act was astounding.

Where did they find these terrible people? I'm about a third of the way through and I'm currently hoping they all get banished. If there's no one to root for, what's the point of hanging in here? This is actually worse than the American version, and that's unbelievable.

Maybe this version would have been renewed for another season if they'd picked better contestants and left off the reality show people...although, unlike the US, the Australian "realities" were more tolerable than the "real" people. I'm going to limit my Traitors time to the UK version from now own. At least those people had personalities...unless they load the next season with Love Islanders.

S2 These might be the dumbest people of all time in any show ever. It's actually really funny! So easily manipulated and zero back bone. Cowards and idiots. It almost seems fake. Can people really be this stupid. Well these days it's not so surprising. These people should never play poker for any amount of money. They give you everything with one facial expression. Your best chance to hang around is be dumber than the person next to you. And by all means never get it right or point out a traitor because being smart gets you gone. The first season is so much more competitive and way more engaging. But if you love train wrecks and stupid people season 2 is for you. The most impressive person in season 2 is Sarah. I am absolutely blown away that she has lived as long as she has. How she survives daily life is beyond my comprehension. It's truly incredible.

I have never felt so angry and frustrated as I felt watching the 2nd season of The Traitors Australia. Whoever chose those contestants should never be allowed to work in TV again. These are by far the most mentally challenged, weak minded contestants I have ever seen on any reality show. There is not one single person with moral strength or character, no one to root for, and the result is 9 episodes of pure misery with idiots making stupid decisions over and over again. As a viewer, watching something like this makes for an extremely frustrating, extremely infuriating experience.

I will be coming back for the 3rd season - if there is one - but if I see the same thing happening by episode 3, unlike with season 2, I will not be watching until the end.
