The Traitors

Maybe 10 is fast-tracking season 3 of The Traitors US simply because Chrishell Stause is a contestant in it.

Perhaps but i’d say they have more precedent to bring it to local audiences again given they have the prior two seasons available and fast-tracked from ep 7 onwards last year, plus it’s a buzzy show.

Didn’t they show it last year too?

I think last year US Traitors was initially delayed a few weeks being appearing on 10play. Then they dumped the first half of the season and aired the last few episodes in line with the US.

Thanks about to start it now! Really like the change to the rule where it won’t be revealed if they are a traitor or not.

Fantastic interview with Alan Cumming on Stephen Colbert’s Late Show last night. Now I understand why everyone thinks he’s the perfect host for The Traitors and I’d love to see him hosting an Australian version.

I actually think they should try next season not revealing after the round table and having a twist at the midpoint of the season allowing one of the banished to return through a vote.

Alan Cumming is just the best. Loved the kilt joke! :laughing:

It’s a terrible twist and would have meant less entertaining finales in previous seasons. Canada did it with their latest series and it basically gives way too much power to the Traitors in a game where they have the power throughout. I always thought those final reveals actually and quite fairly swung the power back towards the Faithful at the end meaning if a Traitor does end up winning the endgame they do it by convincing the remaining Faithful rather than being protected by producers.

P.S. Really thought the first three episodes of the US version were poor - such a toxic cast. And whilst Claudia and Alan were on a par for their first season he is now woefully inferior - just hams it up far too much. Meanwhile the UK third series, now halfway through, just goes from strength to strength and shows the huge benefits of casting a group of regular people rather than the same old reality rejects.

I’ve watched all three and didn’t see this? All the people who were voted off did reveal their status as per normal.

What are you referring to with your comment?

I think i misinterpreted. I initially thought it would not be revealed at the end of the round tables. Looks like it won’t be announced whether they were traitors or not at the finale. Not sure of the benefits of this.
