The Traitors BBC1

[JaneJeffer]

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

I am absolutely loving it especially after episode 3.
I agree that they seem to have forgotten that nobody went in as a traitor, it’s just pure chance. I really want Maddy to pursuance more people about Wilf but Alyssa ? did a fine job in immediately deflecting blame towards Aaron mentioning Ted Bundy and how young, attractive people fly under the radar. I’m not sure how the next part will work when they pick 3 people to put on trial. I think they will go for someone like Alex and possibly Theo. They will have to leave Aaron to make him look like he us over if the traitors.

I agree, lot of unconscious bias going on there

What Aaron needs to do now is question why John is being so aggressive and so defensive about being asked questions about himself - deflect the possibility of being a traitor on to John.

Loving it.
Fascinating study of human psychology in that they are all so desperate to bond constantly forgetting the purpose of the game!

They are a diverse bunch of people and they knew what they were signing up for. It wouldn't be much of a competition if they said we can't name them because they're black/disabled/gay/Irish/female or whatever.

John is off the scale. What a fucker. I would argue with him, game plan or not.

I do find it very odd that they are so serious and emotional. I know there money at stake but come on. People have a bit of fun on The Chasers don’t they?

I suppose that’s where we the audience is bring manipulated (although I’m not of course no no). All the emotion ffs. If it’s not staged then I worry what society has become. All this drama! All the tears. All the pain and indignation when someone actually does what they are supposed to do. I.e play the game!

i would like to see more ordinary people join in these types of thing. This like the apprentice etc has too many wanna be on acting, social media, costume design etc. plus there is not enough age distribution.

Clever! I’d be rubbish as am unable to spot these opportunities!

sorry that was to you Button.

And discrimination which would work the other way around if the numbers dictated.

I don't think there is unconscious bias - in this program its very random, the traitors were not self selected. We are getting to the point that programmes like this will not be able to be shown and people will not be willing to participate for fear of being labelled biased.

Quite enjoyed the first two episodes but found they all got a bit overly dramatic by the third one, what was all that crying and drama about, I will watch the 4th episode to see if they calm down a bit but if not will probably give up with it, the amateur dramatics by some of the contestants are detracting from the game

The men are all very emotional types.

not sure if you saw the ‘coming up next time’ clip but it definitely looks they are not calming down!

My ds and his gf both know Alyssa he's loving that she's a Traitor. Very out of character apparently

Maybe the ‘unemotional types’ don’t do too well. Look at Imran. Voted off because he ‘didn’t defend himself’ well enough.
I think the traitors will sacrifice Wilf when it comes down to it. Alyssa seems completely ruthless. The others have been blindsided by her.
I think the traitors will try and get rid of Amanda and Maddie. They might leave John as he is on some kind of vendetta. They will also set up Fay as people have decided she is ‘untrustworthy’.

Crosdposted with Edie
wow she is coming across as totally horrible!

Who's going to win?

I know! She's absolutely ruthless in the game.

Is there just one winner?
I wonder how it will work.

Was looking forward to this having seen Claudia plug it on The One Show a couple of weeks ago.
Just watched all 3 eps on iplayer and am so into it! (Just like MAFS and Love Island, to my shame)
It's clever.
Do feel sorry for the 2 men dropped right at the start. They won't be able to repeat that test if they do a second series!
#TeamTraitor

I like Amanda's method of staying undetected. She just repeats back whatever anyone says to her

I don't think we could pick a winner at any stage. There's no firm logic to it.

That’s fascinating that they know her & so out of character.

Enjoying it but it's a mad show really! When will any more shows be available on iPlayer to watch?

Tuesday, by the looks of it
