Traitors US Season 4 now on iPlayer

[TellingBone]

Couldn't see another thread?

Just binged the first four.

Very much the fare as before with a sprinkling of Real Housewives, some gamers and participants from shows such as Survivor and Big Brother. Maura Higgins represents this side of the pond.

I was amused during the previous series by how the Housewives in particular didn't like, against all logic, voting against each other. Loyalty versus reason. So it will be interesting to see how that pans out for them this time.

I am looking forward to this but waiting for more to drop before I start my binge. There’s a lot about the US versions which set them apart; the confident extrovertedness, the TV cliques I’m clueless about and extraordinary outfits. One year some from Below Deck refused to go along with one of the challenges and tantrumed spectacularly- she was invited back as a cameo on later series. Love it!

Ooo thanks will start watching tonight.

Oh great-I’ve been waiting on this starting! I love the US version of the Traitors. They are all awful to each other!

I've started this and am quite enjoying, the Secret Traitor thing didn't really work just like in the UK version. I'll stick with it ..

Yes that's right.

I don't like it when they mess with the format. This game was perfect as it was from the start - that's why it was such a success and has spread worldwide. I always think programmes are on their way out when they start adding gimmicks.

In theory I think Secret Traitor is a good addition, it adds another layer, it's fun genuinely not knowing and being in the same place as the faithfuls but - saying no more for spoilers - both times I've seen it, they've messed it up by picking a bad ST.

Another gimmick I dislike is not allowing the 'known' traitors to pick their own victims. They've started giving them lists to choose from - presumably to suit production. That's too much influencing for me.
