Yeah - the UK one is back on. Far superior to the US celeb one IMO. Watched the first two episodes.

Season 3 of the US version premieres tonight on Peacock at 9PM Eastern. There's three episodes premiering tonight and then one a week.

I’m going to avoid the show and this thread until it’s over and then binge it. That’s how I enjoy it best.

Well, I guess it did work out for him. He might not have been telling the whole truth at the time. He was great on House of Villains season 2. I'm actually going to watch "Worst Cooks in America" because he's on the new season.

Re: The Traitors - Peacock Original reality competition
That funhouse challenge in episode 3 was the most unfair challenge I've ever seen. I'm guessing they weren't allowed to say starting from the left the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th door. There was no good way to win the money unless you got incredibly lucky.

Or the people in the US version are idiots.
UK and US episodes have pretty identical challenges which makes sense

I also only watch Survivor and the Amazing Race. I’ve never seen Big Brother and I’ve never even heard of some of the shows the other contestants are from.
That said, last month somebody told me that I would probably like Traitors, so I gave it a try and ended up bingeing the first 2 seasons ahead of the S3 premiere. I’m enjoying it and I don’t mind the casting. With Survivor legends providing the hook, I’m all in for the show now. I’d like to see more Amazing Race contestants though. So far only Rachel and Boston Rob have been on the show.

Re: The Traitors - Peacock Original reality competition
While watching the most recent episode, my wife (who doesn’t watch Survivor) turned to me and asked : So what’s the deal with Caroline? I replied “Like I told you, that bitch is CRAZY”.

Re: The Traitors - Peacock Original reality competition
I think the move by Rob can work because he has Dylan on his side and like he said bring him to the end. There are a lot of other targets still out there that are more suspect than Rob. It was a smart move to not put a traitor in the casket as Nikki and Ciara are stil next on the chopping block. Too soon for Danielle to go after Rob as it may turn on her as too many already feel she is a traitor and may overplay her hand.

Its been a good season so far, I much prefer the UK one though, do find that on Peacock and watch its better with regular people.
the Celeb aspect is fine, but some characters are way too much.
Also the UK version is rolled out 3 eps a week for 4 weeks, perfect pacing. It's all finished now s3. and they do mostly the same challenges.

Caught up on Season 3 of US. Just an awful group of Traitors this time. Rob did his best under the circumstances but overplayed his hand.

Re: The Traitors - Peacock Original reality competition
The US players aren't good ... but there's silly entertainment in their awfulness. Alan's campy approach to this kind of cast works perfectly, compared to how Claudia plays it straight with UK Traitors (which are all "regular" people). Except for the Survivor players, I don't know anyone. Could Tom Sandoval possibly be that dumb for real?
Just finished the UK Season 3. Good season and people seemed to play really well. I like do like how in Season 3 of UK and US they upped the importance of challenges with more strategic shield availability and decisions. I hope they introduce the new strategy element to the US show:

Bad news for the UK version - it seems the next season will be a celebrity one. The reason I like the UK one is it's normal people. I'll skip it if it's true.

Yeah I also watch ( guilty pleasure ) Love Island UK, and this is a Love Island All Stars, which makes it kind of silly as they are all in the same world, they do events together etc.
So not as fun.

Danielle's overacting is tough for me to stomach. Crying and convulsing on the floor? Seriously?
Still have faith in the show's editors that they're setting her up for a big fall. On air they don't show it. But from post-game interviews players are very much of the strategy of keeping a known traitor around until the late game stage when murders don't happen anymore.

Re: The Traitors - Peacock Original reality competition
I liked Boston Rob the first two times he was on Survivor - since then, not so much.
I am glad for how it ended but felt sorry for the final traitor... that was rough.
