Traitors '25 Starts 1/1/25 8pm

[Hollis]

Interesting the 3 people who volunteered to get out the train.. weird psychology. You've got nothing to lose by staying on, so why pick the worse option going?

And oh yeah "it's not fair to leave it to chance"..

 

[Looby]

What is the rule on spoilers on this thread? I assume that anyone on it has watched the current episode, but not gone and watched the next one on Iplayer?

Yeah I think so. If you’ve watched ahead, don’t add spoilers.

Why didn’t they all just do rock, paper, scissors!

It makes no sense! Just draw lots.

Soundtrack is everything we've come to expect from The Traitors.

Yes! Draw lots! You must've heard me shouting all the way from Cornwall!

And yes, the "music" is as brilliantly awful as ever.

 

[Looby]

I’m so glad it’s back! Two really shit traitors already. Armani really doesn’t know when to shut up.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

First time I’ve seen it. It’s… kinda fun, ish?

Going off the psychological experiment the show is based on, the traitors should win pretty much every single time the game is played, they have a huge advantage.

So shit! She won't stop talking. I'd definitely suspect her.
I'd be such a nightmare playing this game.

 

[scifisam]

Why the hell are the traitors trying to sabotage the task? Am I missing something?

Ah, we talked over the bit that explained it.

 

[Spymaster]

Why on earth did those 3 volunteer to leave the game?

Absolutely ridiculous waste of their time for bugger all.

The only sensible way to have done it at that stage was for each carriage to draw lots.

 

[Saffy]

They literally had paper tickets on the backs of the train seats they could have used!

 

[Lotte]

The three people who got off the train will come back once the numbers drop, didn't something like this happen in the first series?

I didn't realise we were already on to Episode 2 and got spoiled for the next banishments (one of which I expected) and the next murder. I haven't watched it yet.

I note Dan's autistic and wonder if that could potentially mark him out as someone who shouldn't be a traitor, because a lot of us aren't very good at lying. Armani will be the first traitor to go, I reckon. She's too obvious with the crying and stuff.

 

[PR1Berske]

Yeah I had episode 2 spoiled, I'll learn not to go on Wikipedia after that.

From episode 1 I'm loving the rubbish Traitors already, and from "I'd ask her to rein it in a bit.......pause.....OH I DO WONDER WHO COULD BE NEXT INTO THE ROOM I DO NOT KNOW OR CANNOT IMAGINE" to "AS GOD.....IS MY WITNESS....." the classic moments are building up. I think Claudia chose the wrong sister!

Traitor Sister: "I HAVE HEARD THESE FIVE NAMES, NO SIX, AND ALSO I'M TERRIBLY UPSET AND ALSO STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN BUT ALSO VULNERABLE ABOUT WHATEVER IS GOING ON, NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING GOING ON!"
Faithful Sister: vibing

 

[PR1Berske]

lmao at pretending an accent.

 

[moomoo]

Is it on just once a week or is it all on IPlayer now?

 

[Spymaster]

I think they might have thought this. It's the only explanation for such a stupid action.

But, I think they only came back as extras/actors rather than contestants.

Can anyone confirm that?

 

[Spymaster]

Is it on just once a week or is it all on IPlayer now?

Not all on iPlayer but 3 episodes a week from now, on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights.

 

[Plumdaff]

In season 1 two people eliminated themselves in the first episode (by self identifying as the strongest and weakest player) and then returned, as contestants, in episode 5.

Oh great! Thanks.

This programme has passed me and Ms 747 by. Neither of us fancy it but obviously loads of people really rate it.

Tell me why it’s good in a couple of lines please?

 

[Saffy]

I watched both episodes last night and now fuming at myself.
I love Claudia's cape.

It’s a glossed up for TV version of the “Werewolf” game/psychological experiment. It shows how an informed minority can usually manipulate an uninformed majority.

Which… is basically how the world works.

I was the same as you and avoided it completely for the first season on the basis hat it was a 'reality' show, which I usually hate. However, when I gave it a go, I quickly became addicted and have now watched every show from every country.

For me, it's the way it taps into complex social dynamics and creates shitloads of suspense and paranoia. You quickly begin to like and dislike people and get completely invested in their fortunes. The fact that you're a fly on the wall and know things that the contestants don't, means you can judge their thought processes and decisions in real time, which makes it highly compelling. Also; I'd watch Claudia Winkleman read the news.

Give it one or two episodes. You'll immediately know if you'll like it.

People pick the stupidest reasons for suspecting others for about 4 episodes, then the Traitors have to be genuinely cunning for 4 episodes, then everyone turns on each other in a maelstrom of recrimination and acrimony.

All set to an appalling dramatic muzak soundtrack while Claudia Winkleman wears terrific knitwear or Alan Cummings pretends to be Scottish aristocracy.

 

[Voley]

I'm impressed by the guy that picked up on Linda responding to Claudia addressing the Traitors directly.

She does look guilty quite regularly. It's rare this early on for someone to actually get something right.

 

[Saffy]

Contestants literally pick off anyone they consider clever for 4 episodes.
'He's got a doctor, he'd make a brilliant traitor!'

[mwgdrwg]

I'm looking forward to the Irish swimming instructor going completely nuts. She's a wrong 'un I think.

The first series of Australia Traitors is a masterclass in how production couldn't have asked for a better bunch of absolute car-crashes in human form. Series two is why the network didn't ask for a series three.
