The Traitors

Probably the best reality show since Big Brother (when it was good).

22 people are pitted against each other. Three are traitors and the others are faithfuls. The faithfuls have to try and vote out the traitors while the traitors try to remain undetected. At the end of the show if all the traitors are voted out then the faithfuls split the prize pool between themselves. If just one traitor is left at the end then they take all the money for their self.

It's a bit like watching a murder mystery unfold. The viewer know who the traitors are so they can watch them plot, backstab and 'murder' whilst forming bonds and friendships.

I didn't expect to enjoy this programme, im not much for reality TV but this had me gripped early on. The final episode was fantastic to watch. You really find yourself drawn in and hope that whoever you want to win manages it.

If this sounds like the kind of thing you like watching then give it a go. I don't think many people will be disappointed.

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 falls short. 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.

The Traitors was something I watched out of curiosity. When I asked my partner if they wanted to watch they flat out said no but would do as I was interested.

10 minutes into the first episode my partner was more infatuated than me.

Every episode had plot twists, amazing challenges and nail biting endings always leave us satisfied but in suspense of what was going to happen next.. and the ending? Oh my god.. what an ending..

I implore anyone who reads this to give it a watch. It's the best thing all year.

Finally I didn't expect such a platform to be on the BBC.. all those streaming providers really missed out.

Cannot wait for season 2!!!

This is reality television with a twist! Most reality shows choose extreme personalities, pit them against each other in mild challenges, surfacing drama from the close proximity of big egos. The Traitors picks relatively normal people and pits them against each other in brutal fashion. The ensuing drama is a result of natural paranoia!

I love this show because it feels like a social experiment. It's a real game of cat and mouse, with the traitors lying and scheming in an effort to stay undetected, and the faithfuls clutching as straws as they try to weed out the traitors. It's even more compelling that we, as the audience, know who the traitors are from the beginning.

When the show first starts, most contestants are quite polite, if a little cautious. No one is willing to throw any serious shade on the credibility of their fellows. But as the show goes on, the tension builds, and all sorts of crazy starts to happen. Great tv!

Ordinary people compete for the change to win £120,000.

Full of twists and turns, this has been the most compulsive gameshow on the box for a very long time.

I love the originality of it, it's absolutely compulsive viewing, I didn't like the look of it initially, but I ended up binge watching it, it's one of those shows that you can't help but get drawn into.

So some of the challenges are a little irritating, and some of the acting is a little bit dodgy at times, but those are minor irritations, it's been the first show myself and family have all sat down to watch together for quite some time.

Claudia is definitely one of the best presenters out there, and she's marvellous and understated at the same time.

Love it, 9/10.
