To not be able to like Traitors?

[Traitor8er]

I can't be alone surely? Tried to watch as there's some interesting people in series 2. I didn't watch 1st series. Maybe that's the issue?
I just couldn't see the appeal?
It's obviously massive.

Should I keep watching as otherwise I'm missing a fantastic series?

😂😂

Well I love it. But I could not give one toss about Strictly 🤷‍♀️

It's all managed, they don't choose

Someone else puts Joe Lycett in those outfits? James Blunt in his pastel blazer and chinos? 😄 I don’t think so.

James blunt was told off for plugging the company he bought his suits from

I hated The Traitors when it first came on. Stupid people playing a stupid nonsensical game imagining they could intuit "guilt" or otherwise from absolutely no evidence.

I still think the muggle version is pretty thin gruel.

But the Celebrity Traitors is much better. I think it's because they all take it much less seriously. It therefore becomes a stupid game played in a stupid spirit.

There's sneering on here about people who don't like it. Including your own post making assumptions about posters trying to position themselves as sophisticated.

And as another poster said in real life you get the "how can you not like it/do you live under a rock?"

I don’t disagree it’s a bit tenuous, because it mostly comes down to casting, and even then it can be a bit of a damp squib. This season so far is working less well as an ensemble— Richard E Grant basically taking himself out within minutes of being made a traitor, James Acaster turning out to be not much fun as a traitor, not many other people emerging as particular amusing or vocal.

Well, unless you imagine that the two producers shared a childhood bedroom, it it perfectly clear.

"It it" isn't.

Typically the last noun mentioned is the one doing the action so "When Ramsey... blah blah from Mazin and Druckmann THEY joined the call..." - the "they" would indicate the last mentioned noun - Mazin and Druckmann in this case. The pronoun "she" would disambiguate.

The author would have done better to use "Bella" instead of "they" if they really couldn't face using "she".

I have to confess I only like the celebrity one. Otherwise it’s just the same thing every episode.

Yes, I understand how language works.

You don't seem to understand how family dynamics work.

The context is quite clear, unless the two unrelated TV producers shared a childhood bedroom.

I know right. Yet loads of young people now - even younger than Maya (people in their 20s!) have fillers and botox now. A young colleague of my DH has had lip filler recently, and it's made her look like a duck. And she has also had botox.

She's 19.

I cant bear it OP. I cant stand Strictly either. The name alone makes me cringe. It sounds like a BDSM club.

How do you know they were unrelated and not e.g. brothers?

Lots of film producers are brothers, or have a family connection. Clear language, developed and refined over millennia, makes things clear for everyone.

Dicking around with bits of it makes things unequivocally worse. Language evolves naturally over time, not by a pressure group demanding the rules are changed.

I thought I’d watch this series for the first time to see what it was all about. I genuinely don’t know who half of them are - including Bella - but I don’t think that matters, and I am enjoying it! I am finding the missions boring though so watch on catch up and fast forward.

You cant be a south london cockney. It's not where cockneys are from

Exactly, do we really need to explain this. It’s called different tastes. I personally like seeing all the different celebrities interacting who aren’t normally together, also to see how they react and handle situations. It’s not trying to be clever, they’re just tasks.

Because... they have different names?

He isn’t as such but he does have some Indian heritage because his dad is Indo-Trinidadian (ie Nick’s paternal grandad went over to Trinidad from India)

Oh, an ally! I did like LOTSW because we used to live not far from there and I really miss the hills, very flat here. I really can't understand why OFAH makes its fans to rude and aggressive.

I can most definitely say it's not funny, whether or not one finds something funny is a personal choice, there isn't a formula that makes something funny.
