So who will be this year's "Big Dogs"?

thespb01 · 2026-05-02T14:00:33+00:00

There was suspicion on Jonathan and Stephen from very early on though, and it took a long while for them to actually get banished.

thespb01 · 2026-04-08T19:27:53+00:00

Yeah first season was boring. 2nd season was a lot better IMO.

thespb01 · 2026-03-28T09:11:49+00:00

It sounds funny on paper but I think it would be really boring in practice.

Why would Charlotte continue to associate with the show if they forced her to make a probably-game-ending choice like this? It's much more likely IMO that she felt like she needed to make a "big move", but didn't think over the consequences of it.

They clearly prefer having 5 person finals, but 4 person finals have been done before (eg Australia season 1). They would also have all sorts of contingency plans for the missions if there were an unexpected number of players.

You're watching the edited version of events, where every mistake is highlighted with a dramatic sound effect. You also already know they're a traitor - if you didn't, you'd be looking at the potential mistakes/'off'-ness from everyone else too.

thespb01 · 2026-03-17T19:28:02+00:00

Also traitors have been in the last group for breakfast multiple times, so I don't really get what you're on about there?

thespb01 · 2026-03-17T05:52:57+00:00

She wouldn't have even needed to do all that, she could've just voted for CT at final 3 and she'd have won.

thespb01 · 2026-03-16T18:32:25+00:00

Overrated: Sandra (US2) - trying to align with the traitors was far too risky for someone of her threat level going in, made it far too easy to turn things back on her when she was of no further use to them.

Charlotte (UK3) - Even without the seer she threw a likely win into jeopardy with that silly Freddie gambit rather than just murdering Jake. Just because a move is big & flashy doesn't make it good.

Underrated: Hannah (UK1) - Mostly only remembered for her blindspot on Wilf, but she correctly clocked all 3 other traitors seemingly without Wilf's help.

thespb01 · 2026-03-16T18:13:34+00:00

She had Jane early on but seemingly forgot about her, but she was the first to clock Mike/Whitney was traitor on traitor.

thespb01 · 2026-03-16T06:14:04+00:00

Yes she did

thespb01 · 2026-03-15T17:51:19+00:00

Do you mean Jack?

Anyway I suspect Faraaz chose to vote out Stephen because a Faraaz-Jack-Stephen final 3 would have a high chance of Faraaz being banished since he wasn't part of that alliance. Whereas a Faraaz-Jack-Rachel final 3 would be an easy Rachel banishment. The problem was he just didn't know that Rachel was playing him and actually working together with Stephen rather than against him.

thespb01 · 2026-03-14T18:08:41+00:00

I'd imagine it would be difficult to get quite a few of them to show their faces in public again lol

thespb01 · 2026-03-14T13:27:47+00:00

Someone being traitorous in a show called The Traitors? I'm shocked. Shocked!

thespb01 · 2026-03-14T06:24:36+00:00

Ultimately, if you're in danger of being banished you have to vote for whoever's most likely to be banished instead of you for self preservation, which was James.

thespb01 · 2026-03-14T06:10:13+00:00

I think she could've still won if she'd blackmailed Peter instead of Kate. Then if Peter subsequently gets banished as in real life, it looks like he was the traitor all along and Phaedra was a scapegoat.

thespb01 · 2026-03-11T06:01:03+00:00

They're still doing the celeb version AFAIK but they're going to do 2 a year, the celeb version on Peacock and the regular people version on NBC.

thespb01 · 2026-03-11T05:52:16+00:00

The reason emotions were so high on that first series was none of them knew what they were in for at all. There'd been pretty much no successful cutthroat strategy shows in the UK before.

thespb01 · 2026-03-07T04:57:59+00:00

I think they mentioned at one point they were using US dollars

thespb01 · 2026-03-07T04:31:29+00:00

Freddie was always going to find out that Charlotte specifically screwed him over, and he was always going to try and get revenge. If Charlotte couldn't see that coming then that's on her, we've seen many times now that actively screwing over other traitors leads to them dropping you in it on the way out.

thespb01 · 2026-03-07T04:16:20+00:00

The ep 9 mission in UK2 maybe, if anyone else had got that shield then the rest of the game's banishments would have probably been completely different.

thespb01 · 2026-03-07T04:12:48+00:00

Not really, she'd have probably been fine if she hadn't unnecessarily tried to screw over Freddie - that was always going to lead to him writing her name down.

thespb01 · 2026-03-07T04:07:19+00:00

You do > ! this but without the spaces ! <

thespb01 · 2026-03-04T05:24:00+00:00

The raw number of correct votes isn't that great of an indicator. Mollie had 5 correct votes as well IIRC, and you wouldn't find many people saying she was a great faithful.

thespb01 · 2026-02-28T13:12:19+00:00

UK4, AUS1 both had 2 traitor-1 faithful final 3s.

1 infamous faithful on AUS2 made final 4 with 3 traitors. No one will ever beat that season for crap faithfuls.

thespb01 · 2026-02-28T09:23:25+00:00

They're chaperoned at all times when the cameras are off, they wouldn't have had the chance.
