The Traitors - new reality show on BBC1

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

😂😂😂

Does anyone think the crying is real? I mean they are all adults right?

Agree with Chestnut - it was a really tough challenge last night... I thought Andrea did well. Amanda must surely win this - they have no clue about her (and Wilf seems to have been forgotten as a suspect now).

Yes Aveline - Maddie is doing my head in!! Yesterday was 7 out of the 12 episodes.

Does anyone think the crying is real? I mean they are all adults right?

Who knows? It surprised me, but it's maybe part of the "game"!

I think the crying is genuine. Their emotions are being played with all the time as they try to second guess each other and also try to show they're faithfuls. The psychological mind games are worse than in 'I'm a Celebrity.' The tasks are much more interesting and also pretty hard.

I'm genuinely astonished at how Amanda has stayed under the radar. They don't even seem to consider her as a possibility! Surely someone is going to point the finger at her eventually.

The traitors are selecting their victims very well, the ones who might give them the most problems. It's all so clever.

The editors choose which ones to show being discussed. We're not seeing it all.

Amos and the other one who came in late won't ever be banished as they can only be faithfuls. They can win if they are not murdered.

Yes, it's hard to tell how we would react, as we only see an hour a night, but they are living it round the clock. The wailing seems very OTT, but we can't judge by 'normal' standards.

Maddie is annoying me too. She is so sure she's right (with good reason!) and refuses to entertain the thought that she might not be. She just wants her own way and seems so indignant that others want a say too.

Agreed, I was surprised the Traitors didn't try to enlist Amos or Kieran, for that reason. Now we have to wait until tomorrow to see if Alex or Amos get murdered...

I love the breakfast scenes (it all looks yummy!) and the acting skills of the traitors as people arrive!

Looks set for another series too!

I didn’t spot this thread earlier. I generally don’t watch reality TV but I’m very much enjoying this. Ordinary people with challenges, deception and a prize at the end. I didn’t see the latest one so can’t comment.

I virtually watched the first six episodes in one go. I got hooked so quickly. Apart from Gogglebox and Strictly I've never got into reality programmes.

Agree with you Aveline about the crying. Most of the programme is them being torn apart emotionally but the team work is clever planning. Pulls them back together.

Brilliant planning to whoever thought of the idea and it certainly warrants a few more series. Beautiful aesthetic surroundings - so suited to the programme.

Fun fact: The programme is filmed at Ardross Castle, 25 miles north of Inverness.

It's a beautiful castle. Hard to believe that they're all individually transported to completely separate accomodation though. Wonder how that really works.

I am loving this show, I know very well its all an act and all that but I bet you get all caught up with the drama of it of you are taking part. It's brutal but also a lot better than IACGMOOH. At least no disgusting eating or drinking (yet).

It’s good because it’s completely different most reality programmes are soooooooo boringly the same you could write the script this is definitely interestingly different
And Alex had everyone fooled
I don’t mind Maddy she’s been right about Wilf from the beginning
I ve always had my money on Amanda

I might be wrong but didn't Claudia say Amos and Keiran could be entering as a faithful or a traitor? They do seem to have been accepted as faithfuls so maybe I'm wrong.

Well it wasn't on Weds night so that will throw the schedules out. I'm on series-record so it won't bother me, but I had been looking forward to it. 🤨

Me too 😡. I saw the notice saying the recording was starting, so switched channel and sat through 15 mins of football post-mortem only to find they'd replaced it with the Repair Shop. It's maddening. There's been football off for ages, and one of the few things worth watching is sacrificed to it too.

Maddie is really irritating me too, but Will won't murder her because she has been pointing the finger at him.
I think Hannah and Faye are lovely. Amanda is thinking very strategically now.
How on earth will they murder in plain sight?

How on earth will they murder in plain sight?
Maybe they’ll have to use a code word or touch the victim- that sort of thing- and If they are spotted they’re out.

They’ve done that on Big Brother before, and it’s often entertaining.

Can’t wait for the next episode to see what they do

I started watching it yesterday, got completely hooked so I've now caught up. I'm really not into reality progs but this is very different and CW is brilliant, she makes me laugh! OH will be devastated to hear there are 12 progs, he thought it was the last one this evening. Dog will be pleased though as we watch it together with a heated throw over us.

Great twist tonight

The traitors are still doing so well! Both of them had someone saying 'I know 100% you're a faithful' this evening which is amazing.

Tonight's challenge definitely had a touch of 'I'm a celeb....' with water dumped on them and all the worms, maggots and fish guts. But at least they didn't have to eat them. They would never have coped in the jungle! I admit I was rather worried when they had to stand outside shivering, having been soaked in freezing water. Is that a good idea? The weather doesn't look terribly warm, let's hope none of them get a chill.
