People don't take love seriously anymore.
Television The Traitors (BBC) | Series 3 now airing. If you watch episodes on the iPlayer that haven't aired on the BBC television, put discussion in spoilers
- Thread starter CassiusClaymore
- Start date
One of my pet peeves during the roundtables is when someone is accusing another of being a traitor and they say 'I'm gonna vote for you, but I hope I'm wrong'. I get that it's a figure of speech but it's stupid as feck and I wish they'd stop
That and using the word evidence every 3 seconds to describe their herd mentality straw clutching.
Have always had more respect for those who say I'm just guessing cos I've got nothing to go on right now.
Guessing is exactly what a traitor would do!
Getting to the end of my NZ s2 binge. Probably one of my favourite series, with few of my favourite players
The recruitment stuff is atrocious.
They've ended up with 7 people overall being traitors and 3 out the final 8 are traitors, all recruits who were recruited over the course of 3 consecutive nights. Insane

Yeh this sort of crap turns me right off the series. The faithful contestants and public should be up in arms about how unfair and idiotic it is.
How the showrunners cant catch on to the fact there needs to be a limit on the number of successful recruitments in a season, maybe cap it at 2... beggars belief.
I’m still raging that they tried to recruit Anna.
It was the perfect opportunity to recruit someone better - and someone who was ever going to accept.
I don’t think she ever even clocked it, they certainly didn’t show any footage of her thinking or talking about it, but Minah had a golden opportunity to pull a Harry - by recruiting and then pulling out the secret shield in the morning to explain why nobody had been murdered.
By wasting a seduction on Anna she ruined that chance to cement herself as a faithful.

I'm an optimist at heart but when I see how popular this program is, and others like Married At First Sight, Big Brother, Love Island etc, I do wonder if we are doomed as a species.
It’s too early for that play, she does it and she’s a confirmed faithful. 3 days later the traitors haven’t killed her and people start wondering.. Minha why are you still here?!
If I was Minha I’d never recruit. She’s running the show, why risk that?
I think you may be giving this particular batch too much credit.
Although Alexander and Forzia appear to have more brains than the rest of the group combined to be fair.
To be honest I don't think it's fair lumping Traitors in with those other shows
Was saying earlier, watching the first aus season left a bitter taste at the end.
Had an entirely new set of traitors by the end so just felt
hollow.
Nah you're just a bit miserable and probably yell at clouds. How is this show anything similar to any of the ones you mentioned?
what a grumpy old man argument this is. It’s absolutely nothing like any of those.All it takes is one to say it and the bandwagon begins. Also it’d be boring to see a repeat.
I'm cloud yeller in chief and I think this is great entertainment.
I don't understand the rules though. Does only one person eventually win the money? How do they do that?
Side note. Anyone who enjoys this and isn't watching Beast Games is seriously missing out.
It’s much better than beast games (which I can see why people would dislike as it represents all that’s wrong with modern society, also he’s a prick, but it is still fun).
Multiple people can win it if they agree to stop the game. But there are ways to play the game to win it all yourself, usually only traitors can do that though. I *think* it’s not possible for a single faithful to win. A single traitor won last year.
It depends who is at the end.
If everyone left is a faithful they all win the money between them.
If they decide to end the game and there is 1 traitor amongst them then the traitor takes it all.
If there are multiple traitors then the traitors get to decide whether they share or steal.
If only 1 traitor opts to steal they will take it all, if more than 1 tries to steal they go home with nothing.
Part of what makes Beast Games great is how incredibly dystopian it is. Plus the crazy high stakes. All the extreme emotions in this seems a bit mad when you consider there's not much money up for grabs.
On balance, I think I prefer it though. The traitors dynamic is very cool.

Ok, cool. Thanks. And can they all vote to suddenly end the game at any time they want?
The multiple traitors ending sounds cool. Reminds me of this classic stitch up in Golden Balls.
EDIT: Tried to find the clip on Youtube but of course I can't. Enshittification in action.
Yeah, trying to recruit a suspect is always stupid, should have gone for someone under the radar.
Beast can feck off. Keep that shite out of this thread please.
Why not? It is equally silly and mind rotting.
Just more reality TV bollocks.
Nope. I just avoid utter drivel like all reality TV is. Always have.

Its definitely not like the shows you listed.
It's a game show rather than a reality TV show. Reminds me more of shows like Survivor.
It comes down to 5 people for the final day, they have a vote to kick someone out and then everyone gets a choice between ending the game or continuing to vote people out.
If at least one person chooses to continue they vote someone out again. Then they repeat the choice to end/continue.
Up until this season the people voted out in the final would say whether they were a traitor/faithful, but they've changed it now.
He's a cnut and I got suckered in by his PR thinking he was a decent guy when actually he's just a top draw scammer. feck that guy, he's in the Corden bracket of a celebrity that needs putting in a cannon and being shot into the sun.
I'm sure he's a tool. The game show is very entertaining though. I reckon anyone who likes Traitors will enjoy watching it too. But I won't bring it up again in this thread, fair enough.
Well aren't you great.
Not seen beast games yet, I thought it was like ninja warrior/takeshis castle type thing?
Then, and here's a really radical thought, why don't you just.. not post in this thread?
Everyone's got an opinion I guess, even when they're wrong.
You do strike me as someone who doesn't allow themself any bit of happiness because you see it as cringe. You were the one that enjoyed Deadpool until you realized after that there were X-Men characters in it, and it pissed you off that you liked that right?
Because then how would we all know how cool he is?
It's basically a series of mini games but they're nowhere near as physical as ninja warrior. Much more tactical/psychological. Loads of sneaky Traitors style double crossing opportunities and people getting voted in/out. It's all very brash, dumb and American but weirdly compelling all the same. I'll shut up about it now, I promise!
Yeah I absolutely cannot stand Mr Beast and he sounds like a right piece of shit but it's undeniably entertaining to see a load of Americans go batshit for bucketloads of cash.
Yeah plus whoever comes up with the mini games deserves a lot of credit. They're almost always really clever and well thought through. Traitors falls down a bit with the challenges. They tend to feel a bit like filler. Definitely the least interesting part of the show.
I think the challenges have improved this season but are still largely filler and the meat of the show is the round table and aftermath by far
The challenges have always been a weak point. I think I remember back in season one they said they have them because otherwise the contestants would be really bored all day, which is fair. They've improved them a lot though by adding shield conditions and such.
I very much enjoyed the first film despite the x-men characters. The second much less so and I hated the third. I don't like superhero stuff in general although the x-men films were generally ok (I watched them with my son when he was young).
And I very much enjoy many things. I just find it inexplicable that people get any enjoyment from this sort of mindless nonsense when there are so many things to watch.
