To consider putting in an application for this TV show?

[Keyansier]

Has anyone else seen the TV show The Traitors? I've watched the British version, the Australian version and going to watch the American version which begins today. I'm obsessed! I want to go on it! I think I'd be quite good if I was picked as a Traitor. I would have no problem whatsoever in manipulating people and smiling in their face whilst doing it and backstabbing them at the same time but shifting the blame onto someone else😂Anyone else a fan?

Me 👋 i love it. I didn't realise the us version was starting so soon. What channel is it on? We have one of those dodgy firesticks with all the channels 😬

You couldn’t pay me enough to go on a reality show and be part of an edited narrative, but if you want to then yes - worth a try.

The channel it's going to be on is called Peacock and all the episodes get released today (or maybe tomorrow, as America is behind the UK in time).

But the weird thing is, they flew the contestants over to Scotland, filmed it in the same castle and set them all exactly the same tasks as the UK version.

I think it appeals to me as you get to control your own narrative. I couldn't go on something like Big Brother because I'd be voted out first by the audience and the same with Love Island, though I am nowhere near attractive enough for the latter 😂

Can't wait for the US version and yes was totally addicted to the UK and Oz ones! . I think you can get Peacock if you have NOW or sky too maybe?

Weirdly, I checked online but only episodes 4, 5 6 and 9 are available for some reason so far. Hopefully the full series will be uploaded tomorrow.

You might be able to control your own narrative to the other contestants but the programme is heavily edited and what is presented to the viewers may not be the real truth. The programme makers may decide to portray contestants in a certain way eg ‘the sarcastic one’ ‘the naive one’ etc and only show footage which supports their narrative. I wouldn’t want to take the risk of being painted a certain way and then have my supposed character dissected on social media. But each to their own - go for it if you fancy it!
I loved the show (the U.K. version) but a big part of the appeal was the freshness of it so I’m undecided if I’d watch a future series.

It’s going to be on iPlayer from tomorrow!

Do you know, I actually think you've got a good chance of being selected...

😅😅

Wouldnt you worry your friends/family/colleagues/acquaintences would never trust you again?

Even if he's chosen as a player, he's much more likely to be made a Faithful. They all said they were brilliant at lying and backstabbing. I think most people think they're good liars.

Don't think that's an issue with this poster.

Go for it OP, I think you'd be a natural as a traitor.

Actually I'd rather see him as a Faithful, trying to figure out who's out to get him and never being safe. I'm not sure he'd be a good Traitor. He doesn't seem to hide his feelings very well.

Yep, would definitely suit you down to the ground! 😂

You sound nice. 😂

More bang for your buck - the production team are the same as the BBC one, the tech spec is in place, the footprint of the location is known, the tasks can be repeated (if tweaked), the suppliers quote cheaper as the production period is longer etc etc.

I know many people who worked on it.

Are you able to divulge any secrets? Would love to hear some backstage gossip if you are able to share!

That's the nature of the show, you have to act in that way!😂

I'd be great at being a traitor but would absolutely not succeed at being faithful, that would be my only worry if when applying. I'd have no qualms in telling lies but would fail if I had to try to work out the truth!

That's why I'd rather see you as a Faithful. I think you'd make better TV being at the disadvantage because it would piss you off so much. Everyone wants to be a Traitor, that's not distinctive.

But anyway, apply and see what happens.

OP would definitely be good at the OTT crying so many of the contestants send to do!

Seemed to do. Not send

What am I missing?

I really enjoyed it but had to skip through the tasks because they were so bloody boring and didn't really have any purpose? Would have made more sense if the traitors were trying to steal money or sabotage in some way! As it was the episode deffo could have been half an hour!

Also it irritated me when they offered Maddie to steal 3k from the pot to leave and everyone acted like she was a saint for not doing it. 3k wasn't that much in the grand scheme of things and didn't 'prove' she was a faithful as a traitor would have said no too! If they made it 8k or more it's an actual dilemma.

Just my two penny's anyway!
