The Traitors series 2

Allsorts

Never watched it and no intention of doing so. It appears to be a programme about deceit, lying and deceiving people, who do it willingly.

If you've ever been to a Murder Mystery event, it is based on the same concept. It's a game, not real life.

Never watched it, sorry

I don't agree with those who think the traitors were genuinely nasty people. They are probably just very good actors with clever brains and a bit of luck thrown in. I am sure they are perfectly pleasant in real life.
There is sometimes a tendency to being very judgemental on GN.
I have started to watch the US version, which includes some 'celebrities' from other previous reality shows. I think I shall enjoy it. I shall then look for the Australian and NZ ones. That will keep me going for the rest of the year!

Oh dear, sounds like the idea of the programme has touched a nerve for you.

Thoroughly enjoyed it and looking forward to watching Traitors Australia next.

Jewelle -Three episodes in to Australia Series 2 and enjoying. For those who thought Paul needed outing you need to hear Sam (makes Paul and Harry look like saints)!!

You could say the “Traitors” game is a microcosm of capitalist life as we l experience it Allsorts 😲

The good, the bad and the ugly.

Allsorts If you have never seen it and have no intention watching it what was the point of telling us that?

That's good as it would probably be tricky for folk to get longer off work.

You have a point but would you feel differently if a ‘faithful’ had won and we were all talking about truth triumphing over lies?

Most dramas are about murder in one form or another, often involving violence and gore, so presumably you don't watch any of them either.

Try watching it rather than sniping

How come Harry managed to get so much leave from the army for the filming?

I imagine it came out of his annual holiday entitlement, the same for others who work. It's filmed over about 3 weeks and army leave entitlement is 38 days. He did thank the army for their support.

Last year the Faithfuls won. Might do again next year? Hope so.

It really is the modern equivalent of playing a board game, Monopoly for the money, Cluedo for the "who done it", both have been around for many years and enjoyed for what they were. Did anyone really believe that playing one of them would have had an influence in real life?

People can be sheep Parsley3 they follow the crowd.You see this even on SM sites.
The whole point of the game is to make it through to the end and convince everyone that you’re not a traitor.Contestants need to keep that in mind.
Harry won through being able to convince others by appearing a bit dim, which he really isn’t, young and charming.This worked for him just as it worked for Mollie, and nobody ever suspected her either, I know she wasn’t a designated traitor but she well could have been after all.It was a game and Harry played it perfectly and won, good on him I say.
It makes for fascinating viewing.

The message I take from it is that it is so easy to get people to agree with your opinion even when it has no merit at all. Partly because everyone wants to be one of the crowd and partly because they begin to doubt their own judgement. Liars and cheats win when we don't have the courage of our convictions.

This comment is absolutely no criticism of any of the players, but I am wondering what other people think.

I have thoroughly enjoyed both series, but towards the end of this series, I began to feel uncomfortable because it seems that that the message it is giving out is that only liars, untrustworthy and cheats win. I know it is a game but even so I’m beginning to feel a tad alarmed at the message.

I don’t want to be a kill joy though. ☹️

I agree. I think that’s why I disliked Harry because he was so good at lying and manipulating. It may be a game but I don’t think I’d want to have any dealings with him in RL.

I really hoped Mollie would wise up at the end.

We may as viewers prefer to see someone with a conscience win but have to accept that it is a game and not everyone who wins is the most deserving.

Whitewavemark2 you may be right but it's nice to see how many people wanted those that seemed to have a conscience to win.
I wanted Andrew to win because although he got to like being a traitor he repeatedly kept telling himself that it was a game.

I think many people in their 20s would like to buy "daft" cars and expensive holidays... I know I might have done if I'd not already been married with children!

Frankly 95k won't buy many cars a young man "with money" might choose.
An Audi A4 - 40k ish -and not exactly a Porsche or Ferrari.
