To not get the Traitors

[BigKnickersSize18]

I'm listening to Scott Mills who has Harriet Tyce on. I know her primarily as an author. They're going on about it as if it's Operation Mincemeat. It's a telly game show not life or death.

I have watched it a few years ago and am not fussy. It's just another vehicle for people to be famous I guess.

You don't have to "get" it. It's not compulsory.

It’s great fun, a bit of light hearted drama for January

scott mills is hardly the Southbank Show is it! It’s light hearted and centred around pop culture

Perhaps give Radio 4 a go OP, I don’t think bbc 1 or radio 2 is suitable for someone as intelligent and cultured as you are

I'd go back and watch the series in order on iPlayer after this one - the first 2 series are so much better than this one (which is still good). The celebrity series is also excellent.

In the earlier series the players didn't really know what was happening etc so it was much more engaging to learn the twists and turns of the show at the same time as them. This time it's very obvious that all the players are totally clued up and have come in with pre-determined strategies, and therefore the show is having to add extra layers in to try and catch them out, which is diluting the appeal IMO.

I love it. But there are many things my friends/family love that I don’t. I think it’s very normal for some people to like things whilst others don’t.

So intelligent and cultured I read books by a Traitors contestant. Mwaha!

We know they’re not actually murdered. It just adds to the drama much like a murder mystery party.

I love it. I don’t understand people who don’t ‘get’ things. We all like different things. I have never watched love island or MAFS and I doubt I ever will because it’s not my type of thing but I don’t think people who do like it are wrong.

I like that people talk about the traitors. I have a group chat with 4 other people, it is a bit of fun, I don’t take it seriously and I don’t think people become famous off of it.

Each to their own but you can’t really judge something after only 2 mins.
And just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s ‘a load of old tosh’ 🙄

Yes! This is what I love about it.

What is Operation Mincemeat?

I’ve no interest in it either and gave up on it after the very first episode. It just doesn’t appeal to me.

I agree, it’s “event” TV isn’t it! I love watching it live every night, the WhatsApp groups going off, and everyone talking about it.

I love it and will keep watching but I feel production more involved in this series, it feels more processed than the others.

But its good to talk about as programmes are all over the place on different platforms.

So will keep with it if just for Claudia's clothes

Well, welcome to my world as regards football. I don’t get why you would outsource your happiness to a bunch of millionaires kicking a ball into a net, any more than you’d lose you shit at the sheer excitement of two snails crawling up a wall. I get that a lot of people enjoy it, but I wish there were special tv channels for that kind of thing so I’m not frequently coming across that particularly mindless football crowd roar or three pundits in bad knitwear saying things like ‘It’s early doors for Trossard’.

It’s the one thing my lovely sixteen year old daughter proactively invites me to do with her - we watch then chat about it, and it’s a connection I’m grateful for. 😁

If you don’t like it that’s fine- everyone likes different things. I’m not sure what there is to ‘get’. Can’t be that hard to understand why people enjoy it. There’s loads of popular things I haven’t seen, Game of Thrones, Stenager Things etc. I just don’t fancy watching them but I certainly ‘get’ why they’re popular and I’m certain they are high quality shows.

I think some people need reminding that because they don’t like something doesn’t mean it’s bad or they’re superior for not liking it- we just all like different things.

Yes I am aware but it's all a bit pathetic really. Grown ass people "too scared to sleep" because they might get a bit of paper shoved under their door.

I watched one series because everyone was talking about it and I was curious. Then I got hooked and watched it through to the end, to see who would win. However, it's a bit pointless really and I probably won't bother watching any more series.

I liked the celebrity one - the others - nah tinny!

We love it; DS particularly loves talking about it after and trying to predict the traitors' next move.

We sometimes used to play Mafia at uni, which is one of the parlour games it's based on. So it brings back happy memories of those days too!

I’ve never taken that comment literally. They’re just playing the game!

It’s a step up from most tv quiz shows. It’s not as great as it thinks it is, I don’t care about Claudia’s outfits, make up, or her fringe. I think it’s quite telling that it’s seen as major tv. Shows how poor most tv is. Sometimes I watch it, but it doesn’t grip me.

You're not being unreasonable not to enjoy a TV show even if it's popular.

What else needs to be said?

I personally find her rather annoying, and I wish she’d cut her bloody fringe, it’s getting ridiculous now!
