Has anybody watched the 2nd series of 'The Traitors' on BBC1 / iPlayer tonight?

I really, really liked the 1st series last year - so much so that I also watched the US & Australian versions on iPlayer to ease withdrawal symptoms when it finished 😂.

Another obsession is about to start I think.......

I quite like Paul - I don't think he is taking himself seriously really.

PestyOne Thu 11-Jan-24 14:40:19

If Paul was made of chocolate, he'd eat himself! An inflated sense of self-importance and superiority is not an endearing feature 🤣.

Aveline Thu 11-Jan-24 13:49:17

I'd love to see that smug Paul getting his come uppance.

I’m addicted. I know it’s probably heavily edited but it’s a great showcase of human nature.

Aveline Thu 11-Jan-24 13:34:32

I like that one too but wondered if it would be a bit scratchy. Unbelievable price too!

RosiesMaw Thu 11-Jan-24 13:33:09

Never mind the traitors/faithful, I’m watching it for Claudia’s jumpers!
I especially like the Johnstons of Elgin one - at £895 I might treat myself to two 🤣🤣🤣

Aveline Thu 11-Jan-24 13:13:11

Oh no. I was looking forward to bingeing the next few episodes.

PestyOne Thu 11-Jan-24 12:52:36

I was glued to it again last night on BBC1 (ep 4), so went to iplayer app after it finished, to binge more episodes - No future episodes available!
Have they stopped loading future episodes now?

Chestnut, agree.
If Ash doesn’t go it will be extremely awkward!
But I agree, too early

Saw on another thread someone describing it as cats in a bag. 😂😂😂

I have also made my predictions. Roll on Wednesday!

Fancy playing along? There's a predictor game

Thanks Cressida, have made my predictions!

Love this programme, it's a long wait until Weds!

Aveline Mon 08-Jan-24 12:34:14

I'm looking forward to the awkwardness!

The traitors voted for Ash as it looks like she could be going and when , in that case, she announced she was a traitor, it would throw suspicion away from them .

GeorgeKirrin Mon 08-Jan-24 11:35:07

I'm new to this series and loving it so far. Can anyone explain please - do all the traitors share the money at the end if one of them is left in or just the one left in?

Chestnut Mon 08-Jan-24 11:06:48

If Ash is NOT voted out then that really will cause havoc in the tower when they meet up again. The traitors were working as a team but now it is clear they will not hesitate to destroy each other. I think this is too early in the game for that. They should have stuck together as a team until at least half the faithfuls were gone.

Could anyone explain Traitors to me, please?

I haven’t got a clue 🤷‍♀️

Just watch it and Claudia explains everything in the first episode. You can't really get it from reading a few words.

NotSpaghetti Sun 07-Jan-24 17:35:04

The traitors win the money if any one of them is left at the end and faithful win if not.

NotSpaghetti Sun 07-Jan-24 17:33:49

It's based in a castle and twenty some people go to try to win a pot of money. Some are "faithful" and some are chosen to be "traitors".

The faithful have to vote out the traitors before they are "murdered" by the traitors. Obviously the faithful don't actually know who the traitors are so keep voting off "suspicious" faithful.

Anyone viewed Traitors Uncloaked on IPlayer?
Contestants that have been banished or murdered are interviewed to give their views on who they think the Traitors are. It’s good fun.

Oooohhhh that sounds good - I'll definitely have a look. thanks 👍

Please feel free to scoot past spoilers as I do elsewhere.

aquagran Sun 07-Jan-24 11:01:03

It’s just entertainment. No spoilers please, why spoil it for others. Just let’s speculate and enjoy!

NotSpaghetti Sun 07-Jan-24 10:01:09

All shows are edited. That's what TV does. Even the news is "selective".

We are simply enjoying what we are presented with.
Nobody believes it's all factually correct, surely!
Even if we were contestants we'd only know some of what goes on/is said.

It's purely entertainment.

As Chestnut says, viewers should not always trust what they get shown. Any such series is heavily edited to manipulate viewers --- it gets called "reality TV" but it's about as "reality" as a panto! It's a good vehicle for Goth Claudia though.

I said in the first series that creeping around the castle in a long cloak, with her black eyes and long back fringe, well it's the perfect role for her!

Yes, timelines etc. are manipulated but there are things that you can see and hear which cannot be changed, like Charlotte lying about Zack which I mentioned. The words came out of her mouth and we heard them.
