[TV] The Traitors - BBC

[Mellotron]

Joe is a pain, but Tyler is really getting on my nerves. He thinks he’s organising everyone, then doesn’t even back himself.

I was so pleased Kas did that to them as he left. One or two egos were deflated tonight.

Yeah I don't see Tyler lasting, he's too all over the place, and too "big" in his actions and words.

I'm enjoying the battle between Dan (who I slightly warmed to this episode, partly because he backed Kas against Joe, and partly because I do feel I understand him a little better with the autism comments) and Joe (who is a colossal bell).

 

[Mellotron]

Early days but I definitely haven't warmed to this group as much as I did in Series 1 or 2.

I also feel like I can't tell what the dynamic is yet, there doesn't appear to be a clear leader, nor as many decent big personalities like Paul in Series 2, a great pantomime villain and absolutely box office.

However, I suspect it'll improve as the number gets smaller and we get to the know the surviving players better.

not sure it will, due to my earlier 'thick as mince' comment. Putting the 2 new entrants to one side, they evicted the only one with a brain out last night. The Traitors decision to recruit, when they were pushing at an open door with regards to the ease of murdering without creating any suspicion on themselves, was staggeringly stupid.

I am enjoying this series as much as 2. However the sheer stupidity of some is hampering the ability to like almost anybody yet.

Minah has all the potential to be as good a supervillain traitor as Paul. Linda isn't good enough to be a Harry but I so think that the next traitor will be interesting and may be that hope

The people hiding things are quite inconsequential. Who cares that GI Barbie used to be in the army or that one is a vicar or that one really doesn't have a Welsh accent. If the sisters had hidden it then armani would likely still be there and maia definitely would have been.

This year the entertainment is a bit like the early rounds of the apprentice where overblown confidence meets short sharp shock of reality. It's almost as if the format makes them all lose common sense. there is a peverse pleasure in seeing insufferably annoying people falling on their arses

There's a few peripheral characters this year who are so in the background that you don't really notice them

When a few of them went in on Anna I was literally like "who the f*** is that"

Hopefully I'll warm to them more as the field thins out

I think it's too early to say there aren't any further people with brains in there, we've barely seen a few of them yet.

Anna will be gone before you can warm to her. Heaven knows what her crime is other than dressing like a tennis player for the round table

I didn't know Leon existed until this episode.

If someone showed 100 people a picture of Joe and said, guess his location and profession, I reckon at least 80% would say Southampton and teacher (no that there's anything wrong with being a teacher).

One thing that is clear is that the blokes in this series are particularly irritating. Kasim looked pretty sharp, so naturally he got banished. All the others are pretty nondescript ... and most of them have punchable faces. There's no one like that guy in the last series who was well on the game and hot on picking traitors - forgotten his name but he was ultra-sharp.

Minah is a great traitor though, I can see her going all the way.

That was Jas. Which I think Kas could have been like if he hadn't been ostracised/ having to defend himself all the time

That's the fella.

And Anna is in the firing line because she can't tie a rope. Obviously, if you can't handle a double-reef knot, you have to be a traitor. The people who think this are the sort of people who'd have been throwing women into water to see if they were witches in years gone by.

Hmm, they don't have much to go on at this stage and her faffing around with the rope did delay things ( not much admittedly) so could be a saboteur.

In the same way as Kas was obviously a traitor as he was a doctor and would be good at murdering people!

There is a danger, as with The Apprentice, that the bigger a show gets the more terrible people they put on it for “entertainment”. Early series of The Apprentice were great because you had genuinely capable people doing interesting things, now you have thicko Vinted sellers making terrible yoghurt commercials.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

The fact that at the end of January brilliant TV like the Traitors gets replaced with the dirge The Apprentice has become is a crime.

Perfect TV

It's hard to warm to bullies. I really felt for Kas eating his lunch on his own.

Nope totally different. Anna delayed a timed task (very little for sure) whereas the reasons for suspecting Kas were just bullsh1t

Yeh that was just mean really
