Curse you and your spoilers!  I shall not read!

Is Peacock showing the second season now?

With the US season over, I still need my traitors fix!

Yes, and there episode threads for the 3 that are available on Peacock so far. Unfortunately I doubt there will a mod able/available to move over the comments from this General thread.

Fine by me.  I don't like being spoiled.

🙀 I blazed right through this season and came right over here to see if there were any comments and...nope. It was sooooo good! Off to watch the next season.

Which season did you blaze through? S1 has quite a few comments earlier in this thread, and S2 has episode threads. Is there a S3 that hasn’t been released in the US yet?

Hah--excellent question. Turns out I'm just confused--and I somehow skipped over the first page. I'm off to muddle my way to the right place. Thank you so much!

And I only wish there was a season 3 UK right now, because I'm ready for it 😛

I am loving Traitors: UK and am watching a couple per night so binging in a week.  Almost to the finale -- I've been spoiled with the outcome but I'm ok with that.  Doesn't change my enjoyment and I'm also ok with the winner.  I sooooo prefer the "regular people" Traitors shows vs any types of so-called celebrities.  I watched 2 seasons of Traitors: US, but didn't get the same enjoyment (the seasons were fine, but not great IMO) due to the reality players on both seasons.  Once I finish UK, I'm off to AUS and NZ 🙂

I guess it's a colloquialism based on where's he's from, but it bothered me no end every time Harry said, "I voted for yourself, (insert name here.)"

Grab your cloaks, people: The Traitors is back. But this time, there are a few familiar faces playing the game. Yep, it’s official: a celebrity version of The Traitors is coming to the UK, with filming set to take place in 2025. Here’s when we will see it on the BBC.
*  *  *
Celebrity The Traitors will star a cast of 22 players, though no news just yet on who they will be. With casting now underway, we expect a mixture of famous faces from reality TV, sport, daytime TV, comedy and soaps – but who knows who might fancy putting their wits to the test.
*  *  *
Don’t worry: The Traitors series 3 and 4 are still set for broadcast starring ordinary Brits, with filming already complete on series 3. We expect The Traitors series 3 to kick off on British screens in January 2025.

It's back and so addictive already! Tbh at times it's been very uncomfortable to watch, particularly with

Spoiler

How Joe treated Kas, "killing at night but saving lives during the day..." but boy did Kas get his comebacks in at the end! Harold Shipman indeed lol!

Honestly, the traitors appear to have had the easiest time so far, as the faithfuls are just not playing the game right- it's veered into personal attacks and they seem to have lost sight of the actual game which is to catch traitors.

Anyway, thankful for Claudia and all of her outfits. Roll on next Wednesday night.

This remains my favorite version. And you get 3 episodes a week which is further evidence of its superiority.

Spoilers for first 6 episodes:

Spoiler

Linda is my favorite hot mess on tv. At that initial roundtable when Claudia said "Traitors" and Linda turned towards her, I thought perhaps the editing gremlins were at work, but no, she really did impersonate a meerkat. Props to Jake for catching it. And her performance at breakfast following Livi's murder had me falling off the couch, I was laughing so hard. I hope she stays until the end just because she is comedy gold. 

I was thrilled with Dan's banishment just because I found him to be a monumental dick. I may potentially get flamed for saying this but autism doesn't grant you a free pass to be outwardly rude and condescending. Just own up to the fact that you're an anti-social jackass. 

I hope Leon, Alexander, and Fozia never take up poker. Actually I do and I hope I get to play against them because I would clean them out. 

Overall this is a very emotionally fragile bunch and the hysterics over every little thing is just *chef's kiss*. I love it.

I'm enjoying this season, too. The funniest thing to me is the things they zero in on and decide to pick at: Do you honestly expect us to believe you've gone your whole life without learning how to tie a boat off properly?? When we asked you what happened in the card game, why did you try to summarize the card game instead of telling us which card everyone played each turn??

And just, like, the looks of disbelief and disgust, and how weird and sus they think those things are.

Spoiler

It was funny how ungracious everyone was about rescuing Alexander when literally all he did was try to help the group on day 1, get brought back to the game, and then be nice to everyone. And they're like, "Boo, I was hoping you died."

Spoilers for episode 7:

Spoiler

Aw boo, I'll miss Linda and her Razzie-worthy acting.

I am hoping that the suspicion moves away from Minah as I would like to see her win the whole thing. As the numbers dwindle, it shouldn't be too hard for them to think about who has voted for Traitors at the Roundtable. Minah voted for both Armani and Linda whereas I don't think Frankie or Lisa or Charlotte has ever voted for the person eventually banished, let alone either of the Traitors. 

I'm not sure what Alexander's diplomatic duties were/are, but he sucks at it. Why are you always so shifty? But I was also yelling at all of them for standing around wanting the details of the death match when there was a time limit on the challenge. This group is not the sharpest. 

I'm disappointed that Fozia was murdered as she was a real firecracker. Her comment about Charlotte's Welsh accent on Uncloaked afterwards had me rolling.
