To think "The Traitors" is the biggest load of guff on TV?

It's stupid. There's no game at the heart of it. It's like Deal Or No Deal for prime time.

Wouldn’t it be boring if we all liked the same things?

Yes.

I like trash TV.

I love it!

I love it, watched Series 2 then Series 1 but I think there is a danger of it going the same way as things like Big Brother which, back in the mists of time, had some fairly normal people on it but then became a vehicle for every wannabe which ruined it. Todays lot in the Castle are way over the top and are looking to promote themselves through the programme.

You do know it’s all made up? A load of wannabe actors hoping to become the next big thing. Utter trash.

Loads of tv is fiction. Honestly, even if this is entirely made up it’s hardly pretending to be the news. I can live with it.

You must be watching it to know that..Just watch something else.

I will. That's not really the point of this thread, though.

I like trash TV.

Years ago my guilty pleasure after OH had gone to bed was to watch Eurotrash on Channel 4, you can't beat real, honest trash!

steelingmyself · 02/01/2025 21:26

@JudgeJ I agree with you. I'm still hooked though.

ViolinsPlayGentlyOn · 02/01/2025 21:26

But YABU to think The Traitors is the biggest load of guff on TV when Love Island and Mrs Brown’s Boys exist.

Rosesgrowonyou · 02/01/2025 21:27

MasterBeth · 02/01/2025 21:25

Well it kind of is. I could list loads of programmes I don't like. I just don't watch them. I don't really need an internet debate about them.

LunaNorth · 02/01/2025 21:27

I tried to watch it last year, and didn’t even manage to finish one episode.

Claudia reminded me of myself as a young teacher, trying to spin out a Drama lesson with a very thin plan and only just getting away with it.

MasterBeth · 02/01/2025 21:21

Thank you.

How can you tell?

Because starting a thread simply to piss on the chips of people who like something that is popular is just a really great hobby to have.

loropianalover · 02/01/2025 21:28

I love seeing who’s able to correctly pick a Traitor out of seemingly nowhere. Jake caught on extremely quickly this season.

I’m not a Claudia fan honestly but her role isn’t that big.. they’re making an Irish Traitors later this year, can’t wait to see if I know anyone!

OK, well you toddle off then, and I'll have a conversation with people who'd like to.

Well LOADS of people like it. (I do!)

I agree with you regarding Deal Or No Deal though. Load of over dramatized fucking shite, stupid game, and with the most annoying contestants!

Rosesgrowonyou · 02/01/2025 21:29

TBH this is the first series I've watched and I'm not sure if I will stick with it. The crying is annoying me. I can understand why people get hooked on it though.

BarbaraHoward · 02/01/2025 21:29

MasterBeth · 02/01/2025 21:18

Enough.

If you've only watched the first couple of episodes this series, stick with it. Once the game develops and the numbers fall it's gripping. It's the only reality TV I watch, I've no interest in any of the others.

I hadn’t realised they were making an Irish Traitors. Hope someone buys the rights to show that in the UK

I think there are a lot of worse things on TV than The Traitors. Doctor Who is absolutely atrocious for a start. Mrs browns boys, the new revival of You Bet was terrible. At least the production and the scenery for The Traitors is decent!

Teenagerantruns · 02/01/2025 21:32

I enjoy it, no brain tv and something to chill out to for a few weeks.

AnneLovesGilbert · 02/01/2025 21:33

I love it. If you like people it’s fascinating and brilliant. Couldn’t get on with the American one at all, very screechy, but the U.K. one is the nuts.

I also like the masked singer 😂

Why be so personal about the host??!

MasterBeth · 02/01/2025 21:23

No. I've not just said I don't like it. I've said why I don't like it so we can all have a chat about it.

Fair enough. Is it just the UK one you don't like? The Aussie one is great.

I've started the thread to discuss "The Traitors". Do you have an opinion on "The Traitors"?
