Re: The Traitors - Peacock Original reality competition

Yeah, Australia season 2 has the most satisfying ending of any season, I think.

Spoiler:
Lisa totally misplayed everything on that episode.

Also, Colton is probably the biggest shitbag that has ever been on this show.

Maybe a little, but it was still a good episode. I liked this "murder in plain sight" a lot more than the last one. It forced the murdering traitor to put themselves out there more. And the 2 antidote bottles was a nice touch.

Do we need to be spoiler-tagging US results after they've aired?
Spoiler:
Lisa was doomed when Yam Yam was screaming "It was Lisa!!!" as they dragged him off. All other arguments should've been moot at the round table, even though others got votes. Maybe the show cut it, but did no one bring up Portia getting banished after a verbal slip ... and having her be innocent after all?

That's going to be an awkward traitor tower meeting If they go after each other, that could doom them both. That's the problem I have with the show ... the faithful could be great and keep getting traitors. But new traitors will keep getting recruited so the season lasts long enough.


I agree that Colton is awful. So smug ... reminds me Pilot Peter, but worse. Just comes across really creepy. I can totally see him as a stalker.

Re: The Traitors - Peacock Original reality competition

Only one episode left. I'm not going to spoiler-tag the US results that have already aired last week.

It's hard to see how Rob isn't one of the winners at this point. Especially if they don't murder Maura. Then it'll be 5 players left, with 2 of them traitors and Maura who blindly follows Rob. The suspense will be whether Rob is willing to share the money with Eric or not. Either way with Maura as a stunned loser at the final reveal. I'd love to be wrong and be surprised though.

It seemed really unfair to let Eric win the shield after he didn't have to spin as part of the challenge. I get letting him and Tara contribute to money won, but they should be disqualified from winning the shield.

Tara and Johnny are frustrating to watch. They had the right call, but chickened out. Although at least they admit that they're not good at this game

While Rob was a super-deserving winner, having things play out exactly as expected is a bit dull.

Relatively speaking, Maura seemed to take it well. Though she probably wishes she didn't tease Rob about her being a Traitor at the end

She kept asking herself why she was still in the game when she was so bad at it. That's exactly why she stayed in the game. Better players should've suspected she had a traitor angel in the turret protecting her, and that should've pointed to Rob. Although it seems getting rid of Colton earlier cleared Rob of suspicion on those grounds.

Seeing the Housewives on the reunion is exactly why I don't like those kinds of reality shows. I find it aggravating to watch people constantly playing things up for the drama.

The reunion was nearly unwatchable because of that. It was probably 80% housewives and they (mainly Candiace and Lisa) still don't seem to understand the game they were playing.

Re: The Traitors - Peacock Original reality competition

I had no experience with Lisa Rinna prior to this show -- yes, I've seen her face but had no idea who she was -- and thought she was the biggest biiiiitch on the face of the planet. Insufferable and egotistical. And don't get me started on her ridiculous plastic surgery face.

Re: The Traitors - Peacock Original reality competition

I dislike Michael Rappaport... more than the housewives.

I finished this season last night and it's my favorite of the four US ones so far... sans the housewives.

Looking forward to Season 5 with "regular people." The UK Series 1 is still my favorite season from any series for having this kind of cast. Wilf is the best.

Re: The Traitors - Peacock Original reality competition

Now I’m watching The Traitors UK Series 4 and it’s the same format as US Season 4 but with regular people (23 players, 3 traitors, 1 secret traitor, and the coffins in the loch as the first challenge…).

I just finished UK season 4. Good season overall, in particular a couple of episodes in the middle where people lost their damn minds.

Re: The Traitors - Peacock Original reality competition

Okay, we watched The Traitors UK Series 4 episodes 5 and 6 tonight… and holy crap:
Spoiler:
When Fiona walked into the kitchen and openly said, “I believe that Rachel is a Traitor,” I get really uncomfortable.

Isn’t that a violation of the Traitors Oath?

Now, if I were Rachel, I wouldn’t have announced Amanda’s secret that way, but wow… things are really off their rockers.


They are losing their minds!!!

But concerning Episode 6’s banishment:
Spoiler:
I’m glad Fiona’s out… but I was wondering why she didn’t vote for Rachel… but then when she said she thought Rachel was worthy to win, that was classy.

We’re on Episode 9 now… the black dinner and dagger twist was different than the US version.

That and the differences in the box game was weird…
Spoiler:
… being the drummer and the faithfuls being locked in their boxes.

Re: The Traitors - Peacock Original reality competition

Yes I watched uk first. Then us. So I’ve a different take.

Re: The Traitors - Peacock Original reality competition

We finished The Traitors UK Series 4 and were happy with the outcome.

I showed my wife the ending to Series 1 on YouTube and in the process discovered The Traitors Uncloaked. We spent the next hour watching the cast reaction to the final four and then the clips of the banished/murdered pair learning who the traitors were and about the secret relationships. That was fun.

I think that Series 4 is my favorite of the 11 seasons across US/UK/AUS/NZ.

I've been quickly going through UK season 4 this week and just finished episode 6. While I love Alan Cummings' campy approach, it's striking to me how much more likable these "real" people are ... compared to the drama llamas on the US celebrity seasons.

Addressing your comments:
Spoiler:
Fiona went after Rachel posing as a Faithful ... that's 100% allowed.

Yes, I thought Fiona's comment at the end about Rachel was very classy too. Although the other players have to question how she could've gone so hard after Rachel only to vote for Sam at the end.

While there was some drama in it, I'm not seeing the point of the interview with the Traitors reward. You can't see them (unlike the earlier "Seer" power) and there's no reason to believe anything they say. Although maybe Harriet will have something clever up her sleeve).

I just finished it up and agree:
Spoiler:
considering the traitors won the season, it was a very "feel good" moment. I haven't watched any series besides US and UK. But I don't remember a season with either: 1) just 2 traitors left at the end, or 2) no traitor recruitments.
