The Traitors UK discussion thread *SPOILERS*

I’ve started watching the second series of the Aussie Traitors, and I’m a bit disappointed by it so far. It seems to have taken inspiration from the US version, inviting reality stars and celebrities to take part. It’s also - for my tastes - too overproduced. Sinister, over-the-top music is playing throughout every Traitors meeting, and through other dramatic scenes to the point it takes away from the authenticity of it all. It’s a really disappointing follow-up so far. They’ve messed it up.

I've only watched the first episode so far but they're a bunch of cocky shits who think they all know what they're doing and I can't wait to see them all murdered.

So is the uk one the only one to not have reality stars as part of the cast now? Not a good sign, hope it doesn’t follow suit…. I know the girl in the first series was on love island and stuff, but it is so much better when it’s generally normal people rather than folks looking for extra publicity

Are you sure you’re not getting mixed up here? I don’t watch Love Island, but I don’t think there was any crossover with the first series of the UK Traitors. Love Island winner Ekin-Su appears on the second series of the US Traitors, though.

I'm sure the UK Traitors was pretty clear of any real celebs. A couple had minor stuff going on Instagram and TikTok etc but thats all. Don't think anyone was a desperate attention seeker or serial reality star.

Ah okay. Just a shit spin off thing it looks like where she was playing a character. Yeah she's probably the main one who had done a few things out of that series but nothing major.

So she wasn't on Love Island then. She acted on a mobile game version of the show.

Bit of a snap judgment but Annabel on Traitors Aus might be the most annoying contestant ever.

[TibBo]

Ahh ok matey, I’ve never watched it, I just remember reading she was an ex love islander somewhere.  
 

You aren’t wrong on annabel but it does pay off

Neither have I. I'm just going off the link that you posted.

I mean, if she is on the wiki for the programme, and was on an island pretending to be in love while being filmed by a tv crew, that’s enough for me lol.

Jaz completely fucked it, didn't he? Why did he vote for Andrew knowing that Mollie was likely to vote for him if it came to the final three? Absolutely ridiculous decision.

Harry deserved to win though, in fairness, and at least he didn't get fucked like Wilf did last year at the end when he deserved it.

Just finished Australia season 2.  Well worth a watch, I’ll say no more.

Got two episodes left of series two of the Australian version. While not a patch on the English ones, it’s far better than the first and the American ones. Really enjoyable and so many people who’s downfalls you want to see. 

Rodger Corser is a great host.

TIL that the BBC attempted this show back in 2004. Some more info in the video description. I think this is the only one uploaded/found so far.  

[Daaaaaad!]

Having started with S2, we’ve now gone back to S1 of the BBC version. We’re only three episodes in but so far this lot are really pretty insufferable compared to the latest series. There’s a lot of emotional responses that remind me of Deal or No Deal, where they act as if they aren’t all part of a game show and it’s something deeper. Very different, but that does at least make it interesting.
