    I normally scoff at reality shows so I'm expecting the same response but I'll admit it. I'm not ashamed but I am fully committed to this show :laugh:

    I've never seen so many people cry. Amanda is bossing it and Matt getting stitched up like a kipper :laugh:

    It reminds me of the first season of BB.

    Anyone watching it?

    Yes - watching it and loving that it's a bit like watching people play a mafia game but face to face in a Scottish castle
    Thought it was hilarious last night to see who went given they'd won an immunity from murder :laugh:

    Don't do reality TV either - particularly the long-running series that go on forever - but I'll admit I got hooked on this one pretty quickly. I actually looked for a thread yesterday and didn't see one so assumed there was little interest on here.
    Really enjoyable, hating not being able to binge it and being restricted to one episode a night :laugh:

    On a related note, The Mole on Netflix is very similar and I binged that one a few weeks ago. Very similar game but only one mole and nobody knows who it is - audience included. I'd recommend that if you like The Traitors.

    I can't slag it off because I won't watch any of it, but the reason I won't watch any of it is because I can't abide this sort of 'thing'.

    :laugh: you'll come around.

    A great move by Wilf, absolutely savage! :laugh: I think he's pulled it off and will be safe as houses for a while. People will start to turn on Maddy if she doesn't calm it down a bit.

    I think Alex will go for it, she'll make a great traitor.

    I'm beginning to develop a crush on Winkleman. :tlc

    Bit of a gamble from Amanda. She's in a much stronger position as a traitor. Wilf has had a great night.
    I think Alex goes for it too.

    Only watched the first 3 episodes so far but will watch some more of this tonight.

    I thought it would have been better if we didn't know who the traitors were so we could try and work it out too.

    Wasn't there a similar programme to this, called The Mole 20 or so years ago? Possibly on C5 or C4? :hmmm

    Yes! I was trying to think what it was called.

    The mole had to jeopardise the games and they gave clues as to who he was. I think at one of the eliminations he came down in his slippers as he knew he wouldn't get voted out :laugh:

    Netflix recently launched a new series of The Mole. It was good I thought, too young to remember previous editions of it.

    Interesting twist last night.
    A little surprised Alex turned down the opportunity to become a traitor. Before they even started discussing the murder I said I'd probably get rid of Alex so I think that's the way the traitors will go.
    No episode tonight, because of the possible England game I guess, so have to wait until tomorrow to find out who goes next :(

    I was quite surprised by that twist and the refusal - looks like they learnt their lesson though :laugh:

    I was surprised when Alex turned it down but I don't think they'll go for her "tonight". It'll be Amos, he seems switched on and hasn't really got involved in the drama.
    He's boring, too level headed :laugh: we need people losing their sh*t. They need to break their partnership.

    It was a bit of a dull episode last night, easy option going for Raylan. They may not have thought he was the Traitor but it was an easy banishment that no one was going to get any fall back for.

    As for Andrea, I don't think I could vote for her even if I thought she was the mole. Sweet, hardworking, little old lady, reminds me too much of my nan. :laugh:

    It make a nice change that they are forcing it over multiple days because I would have binged it all by now.

    Agreed - far too level headed - kill him move on and let the chaos reign :)
