So furious at how it ended!

And how must Craig’s wife and daughter feel, knowing he threw away the chance of winning for a pretty face?

On the whole I much preferred these contestants - though it’s a shame their racism was so ingrained that they got rid of all the non white people as quickly as possible. Such a strong showing of lawyers (and ‘legal professionals), rather than the social media aspirants of the UK version.

Next time they should bring the Australian people to play the game in Scotland. I wouldn’t mind Roger pairing up with Claudia - that might be fun - but it definitely needed the castle. And the red and green flames at the end!

I wonder if they can realistically do this again? Obviously they would want to, but surely now all the contestants know that, for instance, the last three people in to breakfast are the murder candidates so can't be traitors unless they are recruited subsequently. Maybe they can change things like that, but then it becomes a different programme.

Just finished this and was so intrigued by the Paul thing we listened to a podcast where he was the subject of an hour long interview called Tradar. There's a series of them featuring some of the key players.
He was asked about it and said he had no idea why he received such an edit but could be because he was older which didn't seem to fly. He was very, very happy to chat and interesting to listen to so we're none the wiser really.
We loved The Traitors series and Kate from the US version is probably my favourite cast member, in a off the wall way! Also loved Kate from the Aussie version, Alex not so much but she was an amazing player. The episode where Marielle was dumped was brilliant TV.

That’s fascinating about Paul! My DC have watched the show more recently (I watched with an illegal link back in February when this thread started) as have friends, and it’s what everyone wants to know… It was def not because he was older, Craig was older too! To edit him down woukd have been one thing, but to virtually edit him out was beyond weird. Off to listen (no life) :)

I didn't know that being half Indonesian now makes you "white".

Every day's a school day....

Something that I noticed (and no one has mentioned in this thread): when they were doing the challenges against the clock, it almost always came down to the last second. And then I realised that Roger was just shouting out arbitrary amounts of remaining time. And then I noticed that on the challenge when they had to go through the matrix to get the art exhibits Roger shouted that they had one second left as Nigel(?) returned with an exhibit, but the next player still went to enter the matrix and then the camera quickly cut away. The player wouldn’t have bothered starting with less than a second to go, so basically the clock was always added on afterwards to run out at the most dramatic moment. Once I had this theory I could see that happening in all the subsequent challenges. Roger never called out the time when he was in the same shot as the players. Drama! Smoke and mirrors!
