The Traitors- celeb version

[MelonUsk]

I have never seen the Traitors but I have FOMO.

I’m intrigued by the celebrity version that’s coming up. Will I need to have seen the ordinary one to make sense of the celeb version? I don’t even know the format so I would be coming in completely blind. Should I try to watch series one or two beforehand?

It's not a complicated format so there's no actual need to see previous series but you might find you still have fomo if the discussion is all around how the sleb version compares to the original!

When does it start?

Traitors is fab so I would recommend watching the previous seasons. If you don’t enjoy the format it may not be the show for you.
It’s hard to know if the celeb one will be better (I’m guessing more theatrical for sure) or not. A lot of the fun is seeing people slip up/go wildly in the wrong direction. Celebs may be a bit too polished for that. But I’m looking forward to it.

I live in Denmark where we've had 3 seasons with celebs, and only 1 with mere mortals. The ONLY difference is the stakes are higher for the normal people - they really want that money. Which means they can get more emotional. Having said that the line up for the British one looks amazing!
