Celebrity Traitors - may the oldies rule!

Hooked already, as with the previous series.

I think Claudia would look nice in a paper bag she just has a way of looking good in anything always love her clothes
Rowyn Henetha you don’t see any murders its murder in name only you only know who s been ‘murdered’ when they don’t turn up for breakfast the next day

I was initially very dubious of the whole “Traitors” concept when the first series was shown, but got hooked very quickly. I’ve watched all the non-UK based series as well as the UK ones and thought last night’s start was the best yet out of all of them.
I know or have at least heard of most of the contestants, the exceptions being Cat, Ruth and Niko.
I’ve never been an Alan Carr fan but thought he was hilarious. I’m hoping the lovely Mark Bonnar does well, ditto Celia Imrie and David Olusoga.
Overall, I think it’s a wonderful selection of faces, well kent and otherwise.

Yes - it started last night, and I accidentally switched it on. . I've never watched it before so it was quite unexpected. I do like entertainment which requires brain power, but I really wish that they could have avoided the theme of murder. There must be other plot lines that would work equally well and be less unpleasant.

I feel a bit guilty about saying this- but I really enjoyed seeing Clare Balding being her usual very superior , confident and rather overbearing self, so working independently, then making a a really bad, embarrassing and disastrous mistake when the group was trying to work out the code for opening the gate.

I know what you mean about Clare Balding - reminded me of a school Head Girl.

I hugely enjoyed the whole thing, being a newcomer to Traitors. It was much better than I anticipated and I really like most of the celebs. Alan Carr is just brilliantly funny. I'm not sure how the murders get carried out so I'm really looking forward to this evening. Yay 😁

I don't know either but I'm presuming that they're not real!!

I quite like Clare Balding.

I watched the first episode this evening and it did not disappoint. I think it will be a really good series and a lot of fun.

Well, here we go.
Sit back with the 🍿

I am hooked.

First time watch for us, 2 episodes back to back, not sure if I’d watch the non celeb one, but I’m enjoying these.

The non celebrity ones are brilliant too JaxJacky

I m so sorry who the first one out is someone I really like (not sure if we re giving names yet in case anyone’s watching on catch up) but that wasn’t who I would want to go out first
They were very funny on the BBC2 programme afterwards

It is very macabre!!

I was sorry too, I'd rather it was one of the someone elses I've never heard of!

I have never watched any Traitors before , but thought to watch this one as there were a fair number of celebrities I could put a name to, and I did enjoy it. However I mistakenly thought that the viewers also wouldn’t know who the traitors were and would have to work that one out. So just a little disappointed.

It is not usually so macabre - i suspect that it has been ramped up as it's celebs.

jandj that's part of the enjoyment, if the viewer didn't know who the Traitors were it wouldn't be much of a programme, no turret discussions, no traitor on traitor disloyalty just the same confusion enjoyed by the faithfuls.

Are we allowed to use names now as first murder is over and shouldn’t be spoiling it for anybody

I didn't know we weren't allowed to use names, but I shall avoid doing so from now on!

I was shocked when the funny guy did what he did to the pale haired woman- maybe there's more to him than meets the eye- which is the reason why this is such great television.

Also the puffed-up guy doesn't know nearly as much as he thinks he does and can't tell a fictional character from a real person as he revealed last night!

The cliff-hanger ending was torture as well- this is by far the best thing on television because boy do they know how to manipulate their audience...

I’m going to name people otherwise this thread is pointless.

Who is the puffed up guy and what was his mistake?. We need to use names or it doesn't make sense.

Stephen Fry ?

Tom Daley is pretty puffed up in my opinion!

Tom Daley is pretty puffed up in my opinion!

Aw, poor Tom!
Lovely boy from Plymouth! 😁

As I've never watched before, are the Traitors the same all the way through the programmes or are different ones chosen at the end of each completed task?

They are the same unless one gets banished.

I don't see why not.

If anyone wants to watch it on catch-up, don't read the thread!

I learnt that myself with a different programme I was going to watch on catch-up.
