Hello followers of actuality TV! Hello tv bingers! Hello technique avid gamers! I’ve arrived (like a cloaked messenger within the night time) to ship your new favourite actuality tv sensation: The Traitors!
The Traitors, which relies on a Dutch present, is mainly simply a big sport of Mafia (also called Werewolf and just like Among Us) which places 20 contestants in a Scottish fort and has them duke it out for $250,000.
First, let’s speak concerning the forged. Twenty folks. Ten are actuality TV stars. Ten are normies who’re actually principally duds, however they do not matter. Let me introduce our well-known gamers, although.
First up, we have two Survivor alumni, starting with the good Cirie Fields.
The different Survivor alum is Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick.
Moving over to Survivor‘s sister present on CBS, Big Brother, now we have Cody Calafiore.
There is not any increased Big Brother royalty, nevertheless, than Rachel Reilly.
While we’re speaking about Big Brother, we would as nicely talk about Brandi Glanville, a actuality TV legend who appeared on Celebrity Big Brother 1.
Another Celebrity Big Brother alum is Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte.
Pivoting into the world of Bravolebrities, now we have Kyle Cooke from Summer House.
There’s additionally one Bachelor nation star: Arie Luyendyk Jr.
And final, however not least, now we have THE QUEEN HERSELF Kate Chastain from Below Deck.
As I mentioned, there are 10 different contestants, however they do not matter. Someone who does matter, nevertheless, is Alan Cumming, who serves as an unimaginable host of the present.
But again to the sport! So, 20 contestants arrive on the fort, and Cumming informs them that just a few of them will probably be “Traitors” whereas the remainder will probably be “Faithfuls.”
If the Faithfuls can remove all of the Traitors by the top of the sport, they’re going to break up the cash. If, nevertheless, a Traitor could make it to the top, they’re going to take house all the prize pot and go away the Faithfuls with nothing.
Each night time, the Traitors get collectively and choose one Faithful to homicide.
In an all the time enjoyable bit, the contestants arrive within the breakfast room every morning just a few at a time, earlier than it’s revealed which contestant was murdered, and due to this fact, not eligible to eat the continental breakfast.
The contestants who survived are all the time giddy, and it is enjoyable to look at the Traitors attempt to fake that also they are shocked by who’s alive and who is not.
Then, Alan comes and X’s the portrait of the lifeless individual, and informs the remaining gamers concerning the day’s “mission.”
The missions, that are the least thrilling a part of the present, permit the forged members to earn cash which is able to go to the prize pot on the finish.
The missions are a VIBE, although, and embody ringing creepy church bells…
Spinning on a creepy outdated Ferris Wheel…
And in my favourite mission of the season, rolling massive barrels by way of the countryside for miles.
After the mission, the forged returns to the mansion to strategize about who they suppose the Traitors is perhaps and prep for the “Round Table.”
Then, everybody recordsdata in for the Round Table, which is actually the very best a part of every episode. The group all speculate on who they suppose the Traitors are earlier than voting to “banish” a Traitor. Once banished, the contestant reveals if they’re a Traitor or a Faithful.
Usually, the group votes out a Faithful, which is cathartic for the viewers as a result of everyone seems to be sooooooooo self righteous, and normally, they’re fallacious.
The 10-episode sequence is a MUST WATCH if you happen to love strategy-based actuality TV, and in addition a MUST WATCH if you wish to see Alan put on among the finest outfits ever assembled.
And this middle-part/broach combo.
TL;DR The Traitors is my actuality TV obsession. I want everybody to look at it, and I want there to be a second season with none normies. It’s accessible to stream solely on Peacock.
