📺 Watched season 3 of The Traitors.
The UK version is back, with the same basic premise as the earlier seasons. A group of strangers must do challenges to win money and then cruelly ex-communicate folk that they suspect have been secretly assigned the role of traitors in order to keep the money in the end - the remaining traitors keeping it all if any survive.
It’s the show that I suspect is so unhealthy for the participants that it perhaps shouldn’t exist, and yet watching how the “faithful” come up with their theories as to who is not as white-hat as they themselves are is entirely compelling, as is seeing the descent into evil for the traitors who basically have to decide exactly how much they’re prepared to lie to other people’s faces in the name of monetary gain.
I hope the post-show psychologists know how to fix everyone’s broken minds after the fact.
For this season in particular, I’m very curious what would have happened if the s**r twist (censored for potential spoiler reasons) hadn’t happened. No way to know, but my guess is the ending would have been different.
