The Traitors BBC1

[JaneJeffer]

Can't see a thread. What is this shite?

I'm absolutely LOVING this

Genuine mouth hanging open stuff

I think everyone votes, the TV crew gets to see their votes and then decide the order to call the votes for dramatic effect.

Im gripped by this game. Reality tv never interests me, but this game is right up my street. It's fantastic!

That's what I'm wondering too.

If that's the case, then will the faithful notice?

And if Amanda is choosing that seat deliberately, that's a smart move for someone who looks like they are accurately counting up votes BEFORE voting.

If its a production decision, why aren't the faithful also asking questions about that?

Its an odd one.

Do you know what he name of the game? I don't play computer games but that is one I think I'd enjoy.

Wilf NEEDS to say to Maddie "if I was a traitor you'd be gone days ago"

Meryl really couldn't handle being denounced by Maddie could she?

I think Rayan might be in trouble now because he's quiet

Yes, that would make sense actually. It won't be random where the reveal starts from. We forget, watching, that there'll be so much time spent faffing about, stopping and starting filming, and lots cut out too.

I think it's based on a game called werewolf? It's a card game

Wilf looked like a caged animal when he was under pressure there. Theo even commented on it. I think he could 💯 go after Amanda or
Alex next if his name comes back in the frame.

It's an online community game rather than a computer game. So a group of people in a chat room. He has a big group of online friends he talks to from all over the world (I find this bloody weird even by my standards!)

DH knows it as 'villagers v wolves' but I believe it's originally based on a card game called 'mafia'.

The issue is you need a decent number of people to play - it's a proper party game (might appeal to people over Christmas)

But DH does say that you get a fair number of almighty fall outs... Play at your own risk!

I think that's another name for it too.

It has a number of names from what I've been told.

There's a computer game called Among Us which is similar. My neighbours kids (u10) play it, so I guess it's not as tense!

Claudia picks who goes first in showing their vote.
So Claudia is picking the person after Amanda so Amanda is last.
They have always gone around in a circle .

@ButtonSister there's a card game version called 'Werewolf' lots of different versions, some with loads of extra characters/abilities. It's a great game when you've got a good amount of friends/family around! We love it!

So you know this is like a game show, for TV, and people are trying to win money? How come everyone is going to pieces all the time and losing their shit/sobbing everywhere (and that's just the men). Can you imagine this on The Wheel with cheery Michael saying "aw sorry Janet you're off the wheel you might come back" and contestant bursts into tears and rend their garments as they disappear under the studio floor ...

I think it’s a bit like big brother in that the contestants don’t have much to do except talk to each other and go round in circles thinking about and discussing who the traitors could be.

They all started out fairly normal and the two new guys aren’t over emotional, I think they’ve been deliberately driven to it for entertainment

I think it's the intensity of the environment that creates all the emotions.

The whole point with it, is building relationships and trust.

That doesn't make it like The Wheel.

Its much more like Big Brother where you build alliances within the house to protect yourself from nomination.

Hence the potential for explosion because its emotional driven. Unlike the wheel. People are immersed in it.

Its why it works in online communities too.

Alyssa was absolutely devastated to have to reveal herself as a Traitor. I thought Hannah and Rayan were extremely kind in that moment.

Amanda looked so shocked and I'm not sure she managed to pull herself together in the bar afterwards

Claudia really is the perfect host for this. Dry, dark humour. A bit creepy vines

Definetly recommend Among US for anyone wanting to play a similar game on their phones.

I’m surprised no one, particularly Maddie after her theory based on Aaron’s reaction, picked up on the fact that Alyssa’s reaction to Wilf calling her a traitor was much more dramatic than her reaction to anyone else calling her one. She was slightly upset but mostly defensive when others accused her, but she crumbled as soon as Wilf turned on her.
And Wilf’s reaction to her leaving.

Considering how suspicious they already were of him I’m not sure he really did enough to deflect attention.

@JaneJeffer

Thanks, I knew I was catching a twang

Hopefully it's just the environment their living in which is making them all so emotional and when they get home they'll be thinking what the hell was I getting so emotional about, I don't even know these people 😂

Was it Amos that commented it's all gone a bit lord of the flies 😂
