📺 Watched The Celebrity Traitors Season 1.

Unsurprisingly, this is The Traitors, but with celebrities. Astoundingly I’d even heard of some of the celebrities, although who hasn’t heard of Stephen Fry to be fair? Big names!

It’s the same premise. The same potentially psychologically damaging dynamics.

However the stakes felt a lot lower. For a start, each celebrity apparently gets paid £40,000 just to be on the show, which isn’t a ton off the actual prize money of £100k. And secondly, not only is £100k probably not really a life changing amount for many of these folk, they also don’t get it. It goes to charity, which is a nice touch.

But only difference depending on who wins is which charities it goes to - the ones picked by the faithful vs the ones picked by the traitors. As well as the glory of defeating one’s opponents I suppose, which if I had to guess is probably quite appealing to the average celeb I suppose.

Nonetheless, by the end it was really quite addictive. And it did not play out the way I expected it to at all.
