I love the show but I’m not ready to get into the next series. Does anyone else feel the same?

Never too soon !

Garroty · 01/01/2026 09:55

I think I would watch it year round 😂

saveforthat · 01/01/2026 09:56

Not at all and it's the real traitors. I enjoyed the celebrity version but joe public is much better.

PuppiesProzacProsecco · 01/01/2026 09:57

God no! We can't wait in this house!

KitsyWitsy · 01/01/2026 09:57

ooo. I had forgotten about it. Looking forward to it now.

DarkForces · 01/01/2026 09:57

Not at all. If anything it's been too long. I reckon this series is going to be twisty turny

rafeal · 01/01/2026 09:57

No, I’m looking forward to it. Although the celebrity one was so perfect that I’m a bit concerned it won’t live up to expectations. I thought the 3rd civilian one was the worst and I didn’t warm to the group in the same way as series 1 & 2. I hope they haven’t gone for shock personalities and trying to instigate conflict on top of the actual game (which killed big brother after the early series).

I disagree. It's nice to start the new year with something interesting to watch.

There will be a lot of people who have only just started watching because of the celebrity series, so I imagine the viewing figures are going to be much higher than previous years.

ShesTheAlbatross · 01/01/2026 10:00

I’m looking forward to it!

But like a PP, I’m hoping they haven’t gone for any shock personalities etc.
I’m also hoping they don’t try to change the format too much. I know they need to introduce different twists because otherwise the players are too aware of what’s happening. But I hope they don’t overcomplicate it.

I agree with this. I hope they haven’t continued down the reality TV types route this time.

I love it, but I tend to agree it’s a bit too soon.

BruisedNeckMeat · 01/01/2026 11:28

Can’t wait!!

FuzzyWolf · 01/01/2026 11:29

I’m looking forward to it.

AmyDuPlantier · 01/01/2026 12:22

Have never seen it but it’s definitely too soon for the newspapers to be full of it again 🙄

ColinOfficeTrolley · 01/01/2026 12:26

Not too soon! I love it.

Very easy to stay away from all the reporting of it in the media though.

Stompythedinosaur · 01/01/2026 13:01

Nope, not for me, I'm looking forward to it!

You don't have to watch it though.

GIow · 01/01/2026 13:02

YABU because there’s been sod all decent on telly over the festive period!

neverbeenskiing · 01/01/2026 13:02

I am looking forward to it but slightly concerned they are going to fuck about with the format too much in an attempt to keep things interesting and end up ruining it.

Pinkbox · 01/01/2026 13:05

I get what you mean in that the hoo-ha about the Celeb one hasn’t yet faded (I am still getting clips popping up of Alan Carr wanging on about it) but then that’s exactly what the Beeb want to capitalise on. I noticed they have announced the cast list though, which seemed new? Once it starts we won’t care about the timing!

Mary46 · 01/01/2026 13:15

Op Im late to it. Just watched series 2 Harry's win. Loved it all. I must watch it.

TraitorsLantern · 01/01/2026 14:24

The thing is I will have to watch it because I won’t be able to avoid the winner in the press so I can’t save it til later in the year when I’m ready for more. It had better be good!

Bloodylovecheese · 01/01/2026 14:47

I've heard from a good source that this series is the best ever yet!! I can't wait 🤩

RachelGreep87 · 01/01/2026 15:20

YABU. This show is the reason for living for a lot of people in this country.
