We have a new reality show starting on BBC1 Tues night called The Traitors which looks quite interesting. I will definitely give it a try. I notice they are starting it just as I'm a Celeb..... has ended. 😉

Oof!

It had to happen, but that must have been so difficult. I wonder if the missing traitor will be replaced. They won't trust each other at all now. Mwa ha ha ha!

Ooh, traitors betraying traitors. Roll on next week.

Aveline Fri 09-Dec-22 09:00:50

Indeed. It's addictive viewing. I'd murder Maddy as she's so annoying but it would be too obviously in Will's interest to get rid of her.

I think Amanda most likely to win. No-one seems to suspect her. Alyssa and Wilf are already under suspicion.

Well done Chestnut - Amanda the Welsh dragon seems to be flying under the radar.

The 2 new guys are making them all reassess their thinking!

Can hardly wait for the next episode...

Forgot to add - last night's task was pretty horrible, if you were one of the ones underground!

Doodledog Fri 09-Dec-22 10:27:17

I would have lost them the money - I really don't think I could do that for 45 minutes. I am scared of the dark and hate not being able to move around. I hope they offered trauma counselling, as being buried alive is a very common phobia, and could damage people - I felt sorry for Rayan.

Anyone losing a chunk of the prize fund would be vulnerable though.

I hope they won't be asked to eat haggis penises if it is going down the IACGMOOH road.🤢

Looking forward to next Monday’s episode. I was on the traitors’ side until the double cross. I know Wilf did it to save his own skin, but I really liked Alyssa.

Doodledog Fri 09-Dec-22 14:17:31

Yes, it's tricky, isn't it? Honour amongst thieves and all that. I was a bit shocked when Wilf nominated Alyssa, but if they all stick together all the time it will become obvious, and with Maddie on his back he must be nervous.

I suppose that as new traitors come on board our loyalty to the original three will lessen.

I think you're right about Amanda staying under the radar, VB000. One of the few advatanges of being middle aged and invisible grin.

VB000 Fri 09-Dec-22 16:10:46

Nandalot that's true, what a backstabber Wilf is!

Yes Doodledog, the invisibility cloak of middle age, they all said she's "pure"!

Question is whether Alex will join them?

lixy Fri 09-Dec-22 16:53:52

Wilf's betrayal took me by surprise too. Be interesting to see if he can handle the remorse; Amanda is backing him up and that will help.

I think Alex will join the traitors out of curiosity if nothing else. She'll be good if she does, though lots of people are already questioning her honesty as she has already 'lived a lie'.

Chestnut Fri 09-Dec-22 23:54:29

I spotted Amanda as a likely winner some time ago. She has a way of staying under the radar and has fooled them all so far.

I'm just wondering how they filmed the weird church challenge in a consecrated place. I felt very uncomfortable about those masked people sitting there and especially the use of the confessional for playing the game. It just seemed wrong to me, playing something so creepy in a church.

Good fun isn’t it?

Certainly one of the better programmes.

VB000 Sun 11-Dec-22 16:46:23

Unless BBC doesn't show Tuesday evening's football in which case Traitors will be on BBC 1 at 9 pm. Certainly keeping us on our toes!

Thanks Lixy - yes definitely!

Aveline Sun 11-Dec-22 18:17:09

I wish they'd put the next episodes on
i-player. I hate waiting for the next episode!

Doodledog Sun 11-Dec-22 20:28:51

Agreed, Aveline. I'd much rather watch them back to back.

I suppose they might be worried in case people spoil them by letting the cat out of the bag about the winner. There is always someone who can't resist doing that.

Aveline Sun 11-Dec-22 21:11:17

I hadn't thought about that. Och. I do hate the cliff hanger at the end of each episode.

Chestnut Sun 11-Dec-22 23:35:35

I've got mine on series-record so I try and forget about them until the next one pops up on my screen.

FannyCornforth Mon 12-Dec-22 08:28:12

I haven’t watched it yet, but I think that I’ll start today on iplayer.
I’m quite excited as you all seem to really love it.
I’ll be back later

You're right lixy - it's back tonight at 9pm!

lixy Tue 13-Dec-22 19:03:44

Oh good - looking forward to it! Will she or won't she.....!

Chestnut Tue 13-Dec-22 23:43:48

That was a really difficult trial rolling the barrels. They always seem to just make it in time with only seconds left, makes me think that timing is set up. We would never know, would we?

My money is still on Amanda to win, but they are both doing really well, not even one vote for either of them tonight!

The faithfuls must feel so gutted every time they vote out one of their own by mistake. They really have no clue, might as well spin a bottle round the table.

Aveline Wed 14-Dec-22 07:39:42

I wonder how many episodes to go? I'm beginning to feel just a little sick of them all. I want Maddie out now. She's so annoying. I suspect and hope the traitors will win.
