Celeb Traitors - Spoiler Alert added by GNHQ

It's attitudes and persistence like yours MarieElla that creates Terfs.

If being on your high horse includes calling other Gransnetters ‘ bigoted, pearl clutching older women’ you will be up there completely on your own, because there is no sense in which that is any more acceptable in terms of ‘what’s right’.

If being on my high horse means speaking out for what's right, I'll happily stay here, ta.

Why?

If I answer that you’ll have to stay on your high horse and I think the poor thing could do with a rest.

According to Julie, Leigh-Anne was pregnant during the filming; hope none of the tasks were too onerous for her.

Pregnancy shouldn't mean being wrapped in cottonwool (far from it) but the tasks are far from what most people would encounter in everyday life.

It's grim because it suggests he had to pander to Bella, due to their sexuality, or risk being cancelled.
Back to discussing Traitors now......

"Pandering" is generally not nice, I agree, but not sureit is "grim".
I'm sure we all pander to someone if we feel inclined to.

Re the thread..
I think the thread is mainly trying to be just chit-chat.
🤷‍♀️

kircubbin2000 has still not explained why she thought REG had to pander to Bella....that's not lighthearted, that's grim.

Blimey, has it really come to this, we cannot even have a light hearted thread on a TV programme 🤦‍♀️

Agreed.

Most of us can!

😂 I think it’s been ridden hard and put away wet as the saying goes.

We've only watched one series previously, the last one with Alan Carr.
He was brilliant, a hard act to follow.

Yes, Alan Carr was so good last year, I really wanted him to win and he did 😁

MarieElla you miss our point and it's very ignorant and uneducated of you not to notice it.
This thread is about Traitors. We are grown ups and don't need someone to try to convince us about pronoun nonsense in this or any other context.

Exactly.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

My first time watching so thinking maybe this one isn’t as good as previous years, Sod’s Law I suppose.
Also without getting sucked into this again, Bella was referred to as ‘she’ on traitors and will be referred to as this am afraid because she looks like a young woman, the fact she is non binary is her own sexual preference and not something other people need to recognise imho, live and let live works both ways. A bit more patience and understanding from those who wish to wear another label wouldn’t go amiss, just as they are asking the same of the rest of us.

I'm not enjoying this one as much as the last 'celeb' one. I think REG spoilt it, however accidentally, although there is time for it to recover. He could have been a good traitor, and he's entertaining to watch.

I've made my point FriedGreenTomatoes2, sorry it has upset you.
What's tedious is that some people insist on misgendering people out of ignorance or/and bigotry and need to be called out!
So, yes...back to discussing the programme now.

I think Traitors is great fun and a great watch for all generations.
What I love about it is how quickly some of the contestants become suspicious over the slightest thing and how quicky it escalades as they manage to convince others, only to be dashed during the reveal at the end of the Round Table.

I have a feeling Romesh will be targeted at his hideout in the woods this week 😲

I think this too, he and Rob are a team and the traitors will want to leave one of them without his mate and so feeling more vulnerable. But will miss him.

Ooh, a bun fight, but I'm not joining in. And I'm not going to mention Bella in case I say something wrong and get called names.

I've watched two non-celeb Traitors and two celeb Traitors and I'm getting bored with it now. I probably won't watch any more, although I do like to see how the celebs come across as themselves.

What annoys me is all the hype. You can't get away from it, all the chat shows, all the media news, they ram it down your throat as if it's the best thing since sliced bread.

MarieElla you’re like a dog with a bone on this issue. It’s getting tedious now.
How about chatting re the topic at hand (the programme itself) and start yourself a new thread to educate those who may find your diatribes interesting?

Yes, that would be logical.
A pity, but a good move for the Traitors.

I also think they will murder Romesh - see my post Saturday 10-Oct-26 13:33.
