The Traitors - 1st January 2025

[witchycat2]

The most gripping reality game show is back! Tune in to BBC1 at 8pm on New Year's Day.

I'm buzzing!

OK. I just thought in the past people had avoided talking about the details of other series as people often haven’t seen them: I’m not sure how ‘true’ a fan you need to be to join in on here!

But I’ll shut up.

It’s not fair to give people who don’t have the chance to watch ahead the opportunity to stay spoiler free. After tonight’s episode has aired (and let’s be honest this thread is likely to fill up!) why don’t we split off into 2 separate threads to keep folks happy.

We did the same for Strictly so that people who wanted to seek out the spoiler on social media could do so and discuss it freely.

Just placemarking

Cant wait!

Is it not easier to just stay off the thread or unfollow until you’re up to date with episodes rather than have 2 different threads? I don’t really get what there would be to discuss if you’re not talking about what happened on the show 🤷🏻‍♀️

@TheBluntTurtle some people will watch at broadcast pace while others will watch the episodes as they drop on iPlayer. Is it fair for those that can’t watch ahead to have to not post on the threads for risk of seeing a spoiler an episode or 2 ahead?

I’m a big girl so it doesn’t bother me either way, but I can see why some people would be upset at the risk of spoilers when an episode hasn’t officially been shown on tv.

Bleddy BBC!!

I normally stop reading the thread at the point people start talking about the next episode I've not seen, then continue reading once I've watched it to catch up.

Standby everyone!

With Strictly and Eastenders, we've always had a main thread at telly pace.. if someone wants to split off and do a spoilers thread, they do.

Easy for us telly pacers to avoid spoilers that way

I believe they will only be showing advance episodes this week, as they did last year, so it shouldn't be an issue after this week. *

While the spoilers will likely only be minor as we are at the very start, let's try and keep this thread spoiler free** for those who want to watch at TV pace.

As for international versions, probably best to avoid specific spoilers about them on this thread.

I like to think that I can resist and wait for episode 2 tomorrow night but ...

I'll be watching in Ireland - no iPlayer, so I'll be following the TV schedule.

If there's another non-spoiler thread great - but if not I'll pop in after it's airs terrestrially.

Evening all! I’m so glad The Traitors is back on, it’s proper comfort telly.

Ohhhhhh, I didn't know this thread was here or I'd have joined in sooner. I have been so excited for the return of The Traitors. I know they've changed "something" so that those who have watched before can't apply their knowledge, so it'll be interesting to see what is to come.

I wonder if they'll all be trying to work out who's related/friends/etc?

Ooh, she's going to keep quiet.

ooooh - sisters!

Signing in

Musicals? Tick!

Here we go!

Not finished reading about all of them but Alex intrigued me from the ones I've read sp far

The sisters are a declared pair but I wonder if there will be another pair we don't know about.

The priest said 'I could be your granny' to Freddie. I wonder if she is?

Very 90s boyband hair on Tyler.

I agree, I think they'll sneak another pair in.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a few pairs
