I still can't get over the 1st ep comments about Kaz being smart because he's a doctor. Some of the dumbest people I have met were doctors and, in this day and age of using chatgpt for everything in Uni, I wouldn't look at a doctor and think they're the smartest person in the room.

I would always look more into a person's life experiences than their profession in this game tbh.

Kas' whole personality is seemingly based on the idea that doctors = good and smart and you can tell he's rattled and unable to regulate when people imply that's not the case in this game. however, I think most of the 'evidence' against him is being brought forth by three really annoying insecure white men who probably feel envious at kas for being so likeable, successful, and sound. a lot of the bias against him feels lowkey racist, especially from Joe who appears to have a personal problem with him.

[chaosnmischief]

He's trying too hard to get his guesses right just to prove a point. But if I had that trio of idiots always breathing down my neck, I would end up doing the same. Ep 3 really solidified the lowkey racism to me.

I cannot believe that so many people just let that "it makes sense you save lives by day and kill by night" bollocks go. That was the absolute dumbest comment, and then they had the nerve to act like Kas quite reasonably pointing out the logic was nonsense was him having some kind of tell tale meltdown

I really need people to stop using someone's job as a claim they are a traitor

[jirppah]

there have been rumours of a celeb uk season being filmed right after/before uk4

[insomniachobs]

It's amazing to me that everybody keeps making the same basic mistake, across various countries and seasons - nothing about their lives on the outside or even their personalities has anything to do with how trustworthy or not they are in this game. The producers don't go out, find 3 real life demons and plant them in the game to be ferreted out. They're all as normal as each other, the Traitors have been given a job to do that has eff all to do with who they are

Love Minah, hope Army Barbie gets recruited. Armani was a mess.

I'm enjoying this season a lot already, the only annoying thing is as usual they're getting rid of all the interesting people early and then we're left with a load of basic dumb men. The twist at thestart where 3 people had to get off the train, and it was 3 people who seemed a bit more interesting was lame af - just cast well and be done with it.

I'm looking forward to seeing who they recruit next tho, Minah so far is a great traitor

[anachan87]

I feel like the first three will be coming back?
Like, whatever happened at the end of episode 3 seems to show a new twist.

[shangman]

I hope so! I turned it off last night when I realised they wouldn’t show us who would be killed in that episode lol

[insomniachobs]

I would bet money on it, that carriage literally had the words 'Rail Replacement' on the side of it

[insomniachobs]

It's so interesting that so many people have cottoned onto the Traitors early this time. They're still allowing themselves to get distracted because... of course... but even the eliminated folks are pretty on point.

I definitely feel like this is the series - and it happens with every reality show - where it's no longer a bunch of normal people in a weird situation, it's people who are out to either play a game or be famous for five minutes.

Though the producers are playing an absolute blinder with that - it's no longer just the Traitors who are having to pick between money and self-interest, they're continually setting the Faithfuls up too. And they're all failing dismally because wow they've been totally selfish at every point lol

[noodlecookie]

Mte they are SO selfish and I'm glad the show has changed so it highlights this selfishness. The train task in the first episode for instance?? "I don't want you to feel like we're forcing you to leave the train, but if you want to do that, that's absolutely fine" lmao. What.

[snowfallens]

The Faithfuls are screwing themselves over with the money. This is the first season that I’m rooting for the Traitors from the beginning.
