The Traitors UK (BBC1)

Marielle being blindsided by a number of the faithful was iconic telly, one of the best episodes of any iteration. Her banishment was richly deserved.

Although I wanted Kate to win, I can’t deny Alex’s gameplay. Her ascension from nobody to winner should be studied by any future reality TV production companies.

The way Alex not only pulled the rug right from underneath Craig in that last episode but also basically set him on fire and destroyed his trust in the human race.. an icon, a legend.

The magic of Aus season one was not only the Traitors being excellent but also having several sharp faithfuls nipping at their heels, making it the most balanced season so far. US season two had pretty solid faithful in terms of gameplay but they weren't particularly likeable.
 
He/Him
Not to say that Wilf and Harry didn't play with any skill, but I think they were both trusted implicitly because of their 'cheeky chappy' demeanours, which most players can't fall back on.
I think a large reason why this year's lot seem so much more... volatile than in other years is that they desperately want to avoid being the Mollie of the season. The whole nation watched how implicit friendship can blind you time after time to the ample evidence (which there was enough of by the end) that someone's a traitor, and no one wants to share her fate.
 
And if that then has a tie the person banished is chosen at random.
I think Claudia said it once in either of the previous two seasons, or it could have been a US one - don't remember entirely.
Yep - I’m sure one of the Series 1 contestants confirmed it in a Twitter space. If the 2nd vote results in a tie, Claudia would flip one of the coins from the centre of the table to decide who goes.
 
Miss Willy Fred got too trigger happy and it backfired in the most poetic and karmic way. Him wrangling together that clueless mob and handing them the prize pot - embarrassing! Harry was much more patient in his scheming. He also had Paul volunteering himself as the most evil ginger you've ever met which gave him a spring board to the end

But Minahssiah could clear all. She has terrifying foresight and her handling of Dan felt surgical. He was body bagged before his suspicion about her could even leave the confessional chair!

Here for all the Alex stanning from Aus season 1. I'll always say Marielles blindside episode is one of the best episode of reality tv. Shows how well Alex played the game and I'll always love the edit of her crying over fi being murdered then a cut to Alex with a big smile "so we decided to murder fi last night" icon
 


US season 3 will be on BBC iPlayer as soon as this UK series is over from the 24th of Jan.

Five episodes go up on the 24th and then it will follow the US with one a week on Fridays. So the UK will be getting the US version in time, for the first time.

I'm glad they're quite quick this time.
I was afraid that social media might spoil it for me very quickly so this is a relief.
