Traitors, is there only me

[Hijinks75]

Just wondered if I’m the only person who hasn’t watched and has no interest in watching traitors, it’s all I see on the main news, most daytime and early evening chat type shows, it’s like an obsession

Don't think you can knock it unless you've given it a go. There's loads off shows I don't watch, strictly, love island, ice, celebrity that get a lot off hype. But I won't say there crap as I've never watched them.

But I think these shows are good to bring people together as nobody watches tv together anymore and you have to watch live unless you avoid social media. It's been a while since I've look forward to a show and it seems to be over so quickly.

My DP says it's rubbish but he's never watched it! We don't live together but he's coming around tonight and we're watching the final. Or I may banish him to other room as I know he'll sit there moaning.

Yes you're the only person on planet earth who hadn't watched it, the rest of us are sheep, it's not just a really good tv show hence the large audience, and here is your medal for being so clever and not following the crowd 🥇

I was going to say the same, I've heard it's just you OP, no hang on, I've never seen it either, and given that TV watching is the lowest it's been I'm going to say you are in the vast majority 😀

I watch it because my sons do and its rare to find something 17 ys olds want to watch with their mums.

I'd love to see a show about how they make it, how they pick what to show on tv, to see how the producers influence what we see. I think that would be fascinating.

Ditto! It's the only 'reality' TV programme that's really grabbed me, and even more shockingly, grabbed DH too!

No, never watched it

Not watched it but I get the impression from the trailers that the viewers know who the traitors are. What's the point of that? Same reason I don't watch Columbo.

I watched the 1st episode of this series for 10 minutes and haven't watched it since. I found it utterly boring.

No, I don't watch it or read anything about it. We see dishonesty & treachery endlessly in the news; I don't need it to be celebrated in light entertainment.

I want to watch an episode to find out what it's like. But in general, I don't like programmes that are designed to bring out the worst in people.

Good for communicating with a teen who is away at university. The Apprentice will hopefully be the same as well

With all the hype I thought I'd settle down to watch it. I was expecting a good drama series but nope, yet another bloody reality thing. I hate them, all of them. Yes, even Bake Off.

I only heard of it when Gio was being interviewed on one show and said he would want to be on it .Have no idea what it's about, shall Google it .

I am watching it with my son and it is an enjoyable hour of TV. The thing I find with threads that go..why all the fuss, it's rubbish..I hate reality TV ....is really just an excuse to pretend to have better taste, be more intelligent etc than your average watcher of TV.

😂😂😂 peak Mumsnet madness!!

Absolutely love it. It is fascinating how humans work as a group and how they quickly realise that individuality has its dangers.

This! I love it!

I'm usually the same with reality TV, I don't watch it as a rule. But Traitors is different somehow. It's only a few episodes for a start, and I don't think the contestants are wanting to launch careers from it, I genuinely think they're in it for the experience and/or prize.

It's brilliant entertainment, there's a good reason people rave about it. Give it a go, you might find you're more like the rest of the nation than you thought.

Not into it whatsoever here!

It can't be compared to love island ffs 🤣

But well done OP, you're so big and hard 🥇

Threads like this are just sneery.
"oh yes I'm far too intellectual and superior to lower myself to such pleb like nonsense"
It's just Mumsnet all over .
we get it you're a better person 🙄

I don’t watch any other reality tv but I do love Traitors. Maybe you should give it a go OP!

I have never seen any of it. No idea what it's about. I don't watch reality TV.

I haven't watched and don't really understand what it's about. I don't watch much reality TV as it's just people desperate to be on TV and I find it cringe.

I don’t generally watch reality TV. Partly because DH refuses to and we usually watch TV together, but also because I hate fake tanned, attention seeking wannabes.

I caught episode 3 of Traitors by accident and got hooked. Really enjoying it. The contestants are more normal with a diverse age range. I love Claudia hamming it up. It’s fascinating watching how people behave under pressure, and how their judgment can be so poor based on how likeable someone is. I’ve been addicted to Traitors Uncloaked after the main episode had aired.
