Traitors Ireland

[Hepzibar]

Can’t see a thread. Anyone watching?

Yes I think so

I agree there has been a lot more crying and sniping in this one, for less reward overall.

Can we talk about it now? I wanted to ask why the two people who sat silently at the round table after the final banishment thought that looked anything but suspect!

I enjoyed the last two episodes, I felt it picked up a lot.

That was so odd @ChoccyJules

overall I was happy with the outcome. Odd dynamics at times though.

I wasn't to bothered about who'd win as long as it wasn't the ones that won.

I was reasonably happy with who won.

To be honest I didn’t concentrate as well as I needed to and got lost with all the ‘She said’ ‘No she didn’t’ stuff. I don’t remember other series being as bad for that.

Delighted with the final result. They got the boys!

I was happy with the winners, but I think it would’ve gone a bit differently if they hadn’t revealed Traitor/Faithful at the firepit

Yes, I watched both episodes on i-player this afternoon.

Two days'-worth at the round table of she said, you told me, no I didn't, she said, she didn't, she lied, you said, no I didn't say that, yes you did, you lied about it, aargghh. Give me strength. No wonder the blokes just folded their arms and let them get on with it.

I couldn't follow who the hell was supposed to have said what to whom! I did feel a touch of schadenfreude about Faye and she was obviously stunned that the two fellas turned on her like that.
It's a total psychological fuck up of a game!

I was happy with the winners, but this is definitely the worst Traitors ever. No likeable characters, no proper strategy, incredibly dull round tables ( He said she said he said), boring challenges, men vs women.

I even began to miss Paudie!

Thank heavens it is over.Wish I’d never started to watch it, but once I had I had to finish!

They were all so grumpy and miserable. Some more than others, but generally an atmosphere of tetchiness.

As said, I thought the last two episodes were good, I felt uncomfortable with how the girls ganged up on each other often, the fighting, and I felt Faye was the main driver behind that, and wanting to be best friends with the boys, so when they turned on her I felt she deserved it, not because I think she should have supported the other women, more I felt she was attacking and trying to get them out, as they were women.

shes a man’s women not a woman’s woman.

What did people think of Siobhan's wardrobe? I loved some of her clothes but some were terrible, like yesterday's red gown.

Not the sort of thing I'd be inclined to wear, but hey ho, she was playing a role wasn't she, so her outlandish wardrobe kind of matched that.

I personally found the 'explosion in a tartan factory' outfits worn by Alan Cumming in the US version more entertaining. 😂

I found it hard to follow what the arguments were about…was it just me?

anyone else?

Yeah I had no idea. It got worse the more they drilled down at the second table argument!

So much 'She said you lied and she turned out to be a Faithful so you must have lied and that means you're a Traitor!' when a lot of the time what had probably happened was misunderstanding or misremembering, both very common when people are stressed and don't know each other very well.

The final mission was underwhelming.

I found it v meh indeed and literally didn’t care who won. It had zero suspense or excitement imo. I wonder if the editing / story telling is a little at fault here. Did they need to include all the she said she said round table boreathon? We got the gist!

i did like Siobhan but felt even she got a bit bored and wanted it over with!

yes, I think it may have been poor editing and storytelling.

I think in the second last episode where the girls were fighting Siobhan looked a bit shell shocked, so i suspect it was quite lengthy and brutal in reality and hence so many tears, but difficult to show.

i think Siobhan relaxed into the role and did it well. She was nervous and didn’t come across so well at the start.

what differed here was the traitors all going after each other repeatedly, and then the mean girl thing, which I felt was lead mainly by Faye. The whole ganging up was way more pronounced this time. Plus their focus on themselves for a period, all thinking they were being protected and there for a reason, rather than just irrelevant,

i do think the ending is better not to reveal who is a traitor or not,

I also think Siobhan looked a little like she was playing dress up at times, I understand Alan Cummings did it, but Claudia always looks fab, and I’d prefer for Siobhan to develop her own style like in pottery throw down, some of it I felt she looked a bit daft, especially with all the net frills.
