She is just ranting. The audience aren't even laughing, they are just whooping and hollerin when she says something about trans people, guns or anything woke.  I was half expecting her to say "Dey terk er jerbs !" like those rednecks on South Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wordsfromlee Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I really don’t want it to be, but it’s going to, isn’t it? It’ll be like The Circle all over again.  Im keeping my fingers crossed that I’ll be proven wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I don't think it has to be shit. They just need to be smart about what they do. I think there's enough in the concept to allow for it to be entertaining still. There's enough room there for shocking moves and plays. They just need good casting and some new twists and turns while trying to keep the charm of the first series. I still love something like Survivor because they managed to cast it well most seasons and drop some good twists and turns into it. It's never guaranteed but not everything needs to go to shit after the first series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted February 27, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted February 27, 2023 I had a look at the application process for The Traitors and they want all your social media handles and how many followers you have on insta/twitter/tiktok. The best thing about the show was it wasn’t full of influencers. It had such a great mix of people. It might just be how the application process works for these things now. But I hope it doesn’t go the whole love island/influencer type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BomberPat Posted February 27, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted February 27, 2023 There needs to be a substantial change every season, because everyone applying will think that they have figured out how to play the game. If they figure out a way to make everyone who's trying to meta-game it either get caught out and fucked over immediately, or just made to look like pricks throughout, it could still be great. The one thing they can't do is more of the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then change it up, and watch it all go to fuckery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're smart enough to get a good mix rather than just full of fashion influencers or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Connect is an infamous breeding ground for narcissists and attention seekers. Like that ex Tory MP who went on there and showed everyone what he had in his van to make sure he got noticed on twitter. ... That's, Michael Portillo's Viral Load, next on BBC 2.
