AIBu to think "Traitors" is horrible?

I do not live in the UK, have no access to BBC media but my mum seems to be quite caught up in it. Apparently it's the grand final tonight.

I've watched the trailer on youtube but it just seems horrible. The information I've got from my mum is a bit garbled but wasn't there a woman vicar on it?

I don't want to sound like, "Outraged of Tumbridge Wells" but...

My mum was yakking on on about lying in a coffin, talking dolls, tarot cards...

I thought it was more like Taskmaster.

It all seems a bit rum to me. It's like, "Eyes Wide Shut" meets "Squid Game."

AINBU. "It’s horrible and I get mixed up between Davina McCall and Claudia Winkleman."

Damn, I missed the bit where they had the orgy

I've not watched a programme but have heard about it, and think it's horrible. AIBU?

Yes. Yes you are.

This is the first time I've watched it. It's actually quite innocent, gentle TV. They all know it's about lying.

No violence and only good natured swearing.

It's bloody brilliant. Not sure why everyone seems to have an issue with a vicar being on it, it's a game. Vicars are humans who like games. Most of the ones I know are 'up for a laugh' as it were.

You can think it's horrible if you've watched it..
..

It doesn't sound like you have...

You don't watch it so you don't get to have an opinion based on the little you do know. 🙄

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 24/01/2025 19:29

YABU it's on its third series now it's very popular and Claudia is brilliant

Donkeyfromshrek · 24/01/2025 19:28

Its a game, its vaguely amusing to watch. No one gets hurt. What's horrible about it?

Lentilweaver · 24/01/2025 19:28

So you hate it based on a trailer and your mum's account?
There have been a lot of threads ny people who hate it, so you do have company.

😂 maybe just watch it.

It's basically a slightly camp, extended parlour game. I don't like reality TV as a rule but I love it. The people on it seem, for the most part, nice as well.
