The Traitors #2

[Lilykins]

I’m glad Kieron said what he said and went down with a fight. Wilf massively underestimated him - he was never going to go quietly and you could see that in him a mile off! As someone else said, he just got greedy and maybe a bit too comfortable in hannah/Meryl support. It may have been easier to off a fellow traitor when there was more people, but the less there is the easier it is to see it coming and Kieron decided to do something about it - good for him!

I did think they would stop a traitor from winning. Imagine what they might get from the public if they took the lot. The BBC would have to pay for security for them!

 

[Monkeybum]

Yes agree. Hopefully it won't turn into another platform for wannabees, then we look back on this series and realise it was lightening in a bottle. Ordinary people unprepared for the major hit on their hands.

My hope for series 2. As well as the existing format there is one traitor unknown to anyone including us. We are told they exist but don't know who they are. They are a sort of saboteur.

I am a bit worried like every other reality show series 2 onwards will be ruined by wannabees and people who've learnt too much from series one. Can never beat the innocence of a first series

Best tv this year. Loved every second and if Amanda hadn't turned on theo she would have made it through to final 5

I guess it will depend what happens to this years contestants. I know its been popular but it doesn't seem to have become a massive hit either so people may just return to their normal lives. Looking at some of the contestants instagrams, their followings haven't shot up.

I think the required diversity/social experiment element (ages, backgrounds etc) in contestants, and the competition nature rather than reality show will also help not end up with a load of love island types

Can never beat the innocence of a first series

Very true - from the position of contestant and viewer.
Excellent TV.
Perfect for a cold winter night.

These threads have been so good too guys x

Wilf completely lost his head, and I didn’t believe his tears at the end.
Fair play to Kieren, he was screwed over by Wilf being greedy so only fair he threw him under the bus IMO!

 

[Sunlifeover50]

OMG Kieron what a blinkin hero!!

 

[Mark81]

Let's face it I'm sure many of us have been in situations where we would love to have done what Kieran did

 

[Corfu-blue]

Oh I could barely breathe in the last half of the show! Bloody hell! I was silently screaming for Hannah to turn the fire red and when Aaron did too I was punching the air
Wilf was horrific in his backstabbing and melodramatics - sooooo chuffed that Keiron betrayed Wilf..... I guess traitors can be traitors to traitors! Absolutely perfect TV!

 

[panini]

Please can someone get Aaron his own show. Or at the very least can him and his mum go on location location location.

 

[Sunlifeover50]

The way Wilf acted round that round table screaming and swearing in people’s lives- that wasn’t well played at all. Then saying he would never talk to them again.If he’d have won I think Hannah might have lamped him!

I do genuinely think he felt relieved once it was over though.

I know its been popular but it doesn't seem to have become a massive hit either so people may just return to their normal lives.

I don't know the ratings but I get the impression that this show has been a huge success. Everybody everywhere has been talking about it!

I'm so glad that Wilf cocked it all up in spectacular fashion and Kieran played such a blinder. Loved this finale.

Last night I said I wanted Wilf to win. Tonight I’m definitely eating my words . I don’t know what it is, if it was someone else as a traitor I wouldn’t of minded but his behaviour tonight I think was a bit below the belt. I know it’s a game but I just think there’s a line. And he crossed it. I’m so pleased Aaron won!! I don’t think Meryl deserved it, just pot luck she got there!

 

[Crapbag]

What about at the end when he tried to play it off like “I’m just so happy for you guys, I planned it like this so my favourite people could win the money”… !?! Errr what about the horrific ultimatum, ranting and raving and gaslighting, swearing on people’s lives only minutes prior!?

 

[Sir Lancelot]

Wilf let the pressure get to him and lost his head at the end, shouting and ranting.

Kieron did it so well.

I'm glad Aaron, Hannah and Meryl won.

The best thing about this show was the varied contestants; none of your usual Big Brother/Love Island nonsense.

I look forward to a second series.

However... will any of you watch, say, the American version?

I was the same I wanted him to win but felt his attitude was off in this episode. I think the whole thing just got to him. Was rooting for the faithfuls by the end. The shot of Hannah’s face after Kieran left was just perfect television.

 

[Libertine1975]

I disagree with some comments. The contestants knew there was still at least one Traitor otherwise who killed Andrea? There was no logical way both Wilf and Kieron could have won the show.

Kiran played a blinder and I think Aaron and Hannah knew straight away they needed to get rid of Wilf.

Merly won by sure luck.

 

[Smca53]

What a show

I was backing Will right up until tonight, but after his ego getting the better of him and not realising that betraying Kieran was one betrayal too far, and then having a meltdown after the round table, I was glad he got caught.

I don’t necessarily think the best people won, they weren’t the best game players. But at least Aaron was one of the winners and his reasons for wanting the money were so pure

Loved the drama of the pouches in the fire

The best thing about this show was the varied contestants; none of your usual Big Brother/Love Island nonsense.

But there was?
I could see Aaron on Love Island. And Alex.
And Aisha.
Almost any of them are similar in character to at least one person from the many, many series of Big Brother.
