I started watching the first ep thinking it'd be like The Mole, which I loved...not realising that we'd know who the traitors were, right from the start! Surely it's not as interesting if we know their identities and can't play along? I switched off after the shoulder taps.....should I give it another go? 🤔
 
Its good, Wilfred is OTT and I can see him ending up crying or losing his temper big time, the women are far better. I imagine the level of paranoia will escalate amongst the others which will be entertaining. Its a bit of a long term one for me so hope I can stick it out.

It would be interesting if we didn't know who the traitors were. That is why I thought a good twist would be if at some point Claudia said there was another traitor, a 'disruptor' who nobody knew about.
I don't get the big deal about the couple pretending not to be a couple either tbh.
 
I hope they didn’t pick the older lady to get rid of, I quite like that there is a mixture of people on the show and it would be a shame if they got rid of the older ones first. I was laughing when they did the task and the young scientist was saying they had all the old people on their team, hopefully they realise that in different kinds of task the older people will be just valuable to the team as the ones who are young and strong,

I can’t decide if the one (Matt?) who fancies the blonde girl is being genuine or is playing a game to make allies.
 
There quite a few sheep in there too, I think Nicky was got rid of because some of them just couldn't get their head round who the traitor was and followed the opinion of the more robust members of the group who were traitors themselves. Maybe they will try and think more objectively and independently after they all made a pig's ear of it and evicted an innocent.
 
Spoiler for episode 2

Hard to watch them all voting out Nikki, maybe I'm projecting but to see them getting rid of someone with a physical disability first makes me go 'mmmm'. They can make excuses all they want but I'm betting there's inherent bias at play there. As a disabled person myself, I KNOW people feel discomfort around disabled people.

Obviously we are watching an edited show but I didn't see Nikki 'changing personality' or doing anything differently or any of the bullshit excuses they gave to vote her out.

And when she asked 'how have I changed?' the accuser (can't remember who) just said 'I'm not the only one who has noticed' without explaining it at all.

I watched tonight's on iplayer as out tonight and it is hotting up 😬
People getting paranoid and arguing.
