The Traitors Australia

I am not usually writing reviews, it's my first one actually but i feel like this show needs more love.

After watching "The Mole", i was left with a gap,, something was not right. And a friend recommended me this show. I managed to finish it less than a day. Even though i did not like the winner, I loved the show.

Throughout the show I would find myself pausing the show for 5-10 minutes straight and calculating what my moves would be if I were a traitor. It really turns the wheels inside your brain.

You see thought processes which feel more genuine and make more sense rather than the ones in " The Mole". It always makes you question what would you do in the player's situation or whether you would've chosen better.

The cast is diverse, from silent players to more vocal ones with bigger personalities which does make it more interesting.

Nice looking mansion, nice sets, nice contests and nice costumes, really portrays them as murderers from a secret order.

Witty and good looking presenter. If he would ever steal my wife I would totally understand it.

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.

I preferred our own version (the British one) but this was still good.

I binged it over a weekend. After the first couple of episodes I decided to skip past the challenges. They weren't very entertaining and felt more like filler for each episode. I may have missed the odd discussion but I can live with that. I want to see the scheming and the back stabbing play out, not someone walking over a bridge with trapdoors or retrieving something out of a lake.

As with our version though I was never too sure which side I wanted to win. I can admire a good traitor. Especially when they are saying one thing and doing another like it's normal to them. I can also admire a faithful when they cleverly put together who it is and why.

All in all it's a good watch and harmless entertainment. Will your favourite win? You'll have to watch it to see.

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.
