Traitors Australia (Spoilers Allowed)

This is up on iPlayer

I'm making a spoiler allowed thread because everyone goes at a different pace.

First observations

A charlatan like Chloe shouldn't be on the show presented as legitimate

Why does MK keep saying TraiTOR?!

Just started. Is Chloe the ridiculous one who said she can see illnesses in peoples bodies through meditation and speaking to spirits?

The hostage negotiator is going to be interesting.

Yeah Chloe is the psychic

Everything about Nige is fascinating to me

As is that Angus is such a ringer for Bradley Cooper it's like Cooper adopted a cunning disguise just to be on the show

I won't Join this thread as I watched it on line when the UK one was on. Absolutely loved it. They all seem a lot more strategic than the UK one and get straight into it (plus they have to drive themselves around instead of having a driver?!). I didn't feel the presenter was a patch of Claudia and the setting not as lovely but it was a fantastic series.

Chloe the "psychic" clearly doesn't have very good spirit guides as they are leading her wrong! She's proving herself a fake. Because the spirits can see everything that has happened. Why aren't they telling her who the traitors are, or have the spirits signed an agreement not to disclose anything? Eye roll.
Just watched it last night, then today on iplayer as missed the start.
Don't know if I'll watch ahead or not!!
Didn't like Jack, too intense, too fond of himself.
Sandra is annoying, another young attractive female dressing up to the nines in revealing clothes and complaining people don't take her seriously or write her off. Wonder why that is?!
A lot of people not getting any air time yet.

I found it hilarious when Chloe said ‘I’ve spoken to my spirit guides’ and got it wrong. Such a fraud.

She really didn't see that one coming, did she? 😂

She fucked off because she knew she would be exposed and lose her livelihood of exploitation. Hopefully a laughing stock in Oz

I am watching!

I don’t like Fi. My OH said it looks like she puts on make up with a Homer Simpson make up gun 😂

Blamethecat57 · 11/07/2023 23:15

It's as good as the UK version . Better maybe.

Couldn't stand to watch the U.S one...too much screaming.

I will wait until you all see the end

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 11/07/2023 23:17

Yes I think it's better

The US one was too intent on recruiting "baddies" from other programs particularly the awful Rachel from both Big Brother and Amazing Race

OP posts:
lightinthebox · 12/07/2023 07:40

The US one was awful but I’m loving this one.

ellebelli · 12/07/2023 13:23

I watched this a while ago and really enjoyed it.
Ended up liking the contestants which is needed.
Hence why I gave up on the American one.
This gets super tense at times and after a bit of a dull start really becomes good.

boys3 · 12/07/2023 20:55

Just finished bingeing watching it. Really enjoyed it, possibly even more than the UK one.

need to check whether it really is a spoilers allowed I’ll just say for now two of the biggest snatching defeat from the jaws of victory that I have ever seen.

whilst Roger is certainly no Claudia, I’m just starting The Traitors USA, and so far I prefer him to Alan.

Definitely spoilers allowed as I'm a quick watcher usually

Will stay off thread now til I finish so that discussion can go ahead

A spoiler thread makes sense for an own pace watch.

If spoilers allowed. I don't understand why Mariella said what she did, she was so clever and it made no sense.

ellebelli · 13/07/2023 11:49

Marielle got too clever and it was her undoing.
Despite her behaviour (its the while point of the show)I did like her and was a bit sad to see her go.
I would have preferred her to win than who did(but the winner did play it well)
Out of everyone the other lady in the final(can't remember name) was the one in my opinion who deserved the win.
And can we talk about paul?????(I think that's his name...sorry its been awhile)

100% agree. I couldn’t believe it when I watched it.

Equally Nigel then voting for Lewis not her sealed his fate.

I would have preferred Kate rather than Alex at the end. Craig mentioned he had a daughter and I do think he saw Alex in that light. He looked crushed when the truth came out.

Paul? Who was that 😀 I wasn’t quite sure what the point of him was. Bit harsh perhaps. Or just a harsh edit.

SunshineAndFizz · 15/07/2023 06:57

Nigel was my favourite.

Craig's heartbreak 😢

HurdyGurdy19 · 15/07/2023 09:55

Just finished the series. Definitely a good one. Better than the USA version, but not as good as the UK one.

There was a definite bias towards showing the pretty young things though. Craig and Paul were barely shown during the series.

Matt was creepy with his staring eyes and sticky-up hair 😆

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 15/07/2023 22:25

Not happy with the end it was very anticlimactic compared to the fire thing in the UK/US

I googled about Paul, he was deliberately edited out it would seem and there are conflicting reports as to why that was

Marielle was a classic school bully

I would have preferred a Kate win

Just finished. Awwww poor Craig, he was just lovely!

Oddsockday · 16/07/2023 12:51

Marielle reminded me of one of the women from selling sunset. Looks wise that is. Davina maybe?

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 16/07/2023 13:06

Yes,I constantly found her familiar too

Matt was both creepy and odd. Way too intense. I'm just starting the last 3 episodes.
