4th: The Traitors collection 3
Now, I’m not saying that collection 3 of The Traitors was unhealthy. As a result of there have been moments of brilliance (Alexander singing opera and falling right into a bush, and not forgetting Lisa the priest), however it was held again by a gaggle that refused to work as a workforce, in addition to some format adjustments that basically broke numerous the thriller.
On the brilliant aspect, there’s the sisterhood of Traitors – the custom of getting all girls don the cloaks (apart from sacrificial lamb, Freddie). Minah led the group so properly for a very good portion of the sport – even managing to guard arguably one of essentially the most hilariously unhealthy Traitors within the present’s historical past, Linda.
However oh Linda, what nice TV she made. From turning her head when Claudia addressed the Traitors on the very first spherical desk, to her spitting “recover from it” at Fozia throughout the very first face-to-face homicide. Even after making a scene by faking crocodile tears at breakfast, she nonetheless managed to outlive one other banishment – although arguably, that was right down to the Trustworthy being utterly clueless.
As soon as the villainesses recruited Charlotte, who was masquerading round along with her fake-ass Welsh accent, it appeared just like the competitors was within the bag for the Traitors. Charlotte instantly backstabbed Minah and created the proper alibi for herself.
Besides, the producers launched the ‘Seer’ rule, which meant that the victorious particular person in a mission (Frankie) may discover out the standing of anybody participant within the recreation. Because it turned out, she picked Charlotte, the one Traitor left within the recreation.
Because of this, it grew to become one girl’s phrase towards one other. With collection 3 being the primary time that gamers within the finale didn’t reveal their true identification, who would the remaining Faithfuls belief?
Because it turned out, neither of them. Charlotte was promptly banished, earlier than Frankie adopted quickly after – it was an excessive amount of of a threat to maintain both participant within the recreation.
However the recreation didn’t finish there, with eventual winners Jake and Leanne additionally booting off fellow Trustworthy Alexander. It’s questionable as to whether or not they did this as a result of reputable suspicions of their fellow contestants, or as a result of they needed an even bigger share of the prize pot.
Add to that the sport feeling very private at instances, with variety Faithfuls comparable to Kas feeling bullied and remoted, and other people speaking about their households in obvious makes an attempt to guilt-trip each other, and this collection simply ended on a little bit of a flat and bitter be aware.
