Rise and fall Sundays 9pm

Not 100% sure what it's about but I'm gonna give it a go and didn't see a thread.

Google tells me it's from the creators of " The Traitors" a BBC hit from late last year and spawned versions around the world.

From what I can tell there's an elevator and meant to be rich and poor people and you can rise or fall in this " society" as I say I'm not too sure but let's see if others are giving it a go or know more.

I won't be watching live though unfortunately

The leaders giving the talk to the grafters before the task reminds me of Animal farm

not sure I’m a fan yet and I loved traitors. Contestants seem very the apprentice to me and too much arguing. But I’ll give it another go. Too much booby display too atm

Oh really, people who've already had a crack at TV fame? I don't recognise any of them, but that's interesting, and makes me like it less.

Rachel looks familiar, has she been on something else ?

Ahh hate cliffhangers! Didn't realise it would be an " every weekday" thing- why start it on a Sunday? Weird!

Ramona is terrifying. She's clearly playing the part of what she thinks a boss is and forgot to pack her blouses.

Wtf is that all about! She’ll be chilly in the basement - assuming she doesn’t get booted off

ellebelli · 20/03/2023 09:47

I'm enjoying it and look forward to watching more.
I find conner funny and like Ramona,matt and the blonde haired lady from the basement so far.

SingTheNationalAnthemAndGoToBed · 20/03/2023 10:39

I would have liked to see the leaders become grafters when voted out and see how the grafters interact with them after being bossed about by them.

nuttynet · 20/03/2023 11:29

Me too

Id like ramona to get relegated to the basement

Does she know her bra is visible?

nuttynet · 20/03/2023 11:30

It's probably safer to start in the basement and work up rather than start at the top with everything to lose

SlippinKimmy · 20/03/2023 11:45

Yep, start in the basement and build alliances would be the way to go. I knew I’d seen Eddy before, had forgotten it was the Fucking Fulfords! I’ll give it a couple more episodes and see if it gets more interesting. It’s a shame there’s more reality TV types on this, having more normal people on The Traitors was so refreshing.

Tormundsbeard · 20/03/2023 14:26

Hope Ramona goes, otherwise the power will really go to her head…
Am finding Cheryl super annoying, I really didn’t like how she got on the lift at the beginning..

Fladdermus · 20/03/2023 16:38

Just starting to watch it now. I can't remember who's who but one of them makes me want to throw things. I'm guessing from the previous posts that that'll be Ramona.

It started at 10 t9n8ght the scheduling seems to really not do the programme any favours

OP posts:
VooVooV · 20/03/2023 22:32

If some of them have been on other things (which I do agree is a shame) I think I recognise Cheryl. (Or just she just have a familiar face!!)

I thought they definitely wouldn't do the 50 bottles

Interesting tactics by all the groups. Do the grafters vote for someone good to go up and hope they eventually get you up and on side or someone who will fail and leave a space? Do the leaders choose to bring someone aboard who will strengthen them or be easy to pick off?
Let's see how it plays out!
I'm enjoying it so far 👍

coffeeandcola · 21/03/2023 12:41

Just started on catch up. Surprised to see someone quit so early, was Ali the person who had 13 businesses? I saw that and figured it's because none of them are successful!

Ramona is interesting but wish she'd wear more than a bra.

I do to, but I can't think where I know her from.

rainbowruthie · 21/03/2023 13:40

I don't recognise Cheryl, but I really don't like her...
I wish that the 'upstairs' people had to go 'downstairs' instead of going home

lemonsaretheonlyfruit · 21/03/2023 17:20

I couldn't keep my eyes off Ramona's bra (or lack of)

I'm quite enjoying it but wish it was on at nine.

Rossi who is the new grafter who walked out of the lift is someone I follow on insta. He moans a lot about his job, works for the fabulous business in fashion and swears a lot. But he is funny. Though like others I don't know why they don't just keep it to 'proper' normal people.

There are enough 'celebs' doing the rounds of these shows already.

Not as hooked in as I was to the Traitors but I think like any of these shows - it becomes more interesting when you get to know the characters and the game playing gets started.

I cannot believe that Marina is only 18. My DD is 16 and seems 2 generations younger than Marina!

lemonsaretheonlyfruit · 21/03/2023 17:25

*not a fabulous business. The family business!

viques · 21/03/2023 17:29

Is Cheryl the one with the teeth? Did she have them done specially for the telly?

Piggywaspushed · 21/03/2023 21:35

Ugh. The Sophie is Sophie Corcoran. Awful wannabe Katie Hopkins.

Quiet when she hasn't got a keyboard to warrior behind...
