I enjoyed the US one because I like seeing the old reality show people. Cirie, Pavarti, Sandra, Dan from BB, CT and Trishelle. What's not to love about that?
What do you hate about the Bravo people? I think they are fine, Loved Kate on season 1, but she did a terrible job in season 2.
Just finished season 1 of UK and it was really good. I suggest giving it a spin. I just started season 1 Australia over the weekend.

My wife watched the first 2 US seasons and enjoyed them. She's a massive Cerie fan, so that helped. I watched a little bit of it with her just in passing and it seemed okay.
I get enough reality TV between Survivor and 90 Day Fiance, can't really stomach much more after that lol. I did really enjoy "House of Villains" though when it aired, looking forward to season 2.
Johnny Bananas was on S2 of Traitors.
You should give it a try, but I hear you with the too many reality shows. Me and the wife's current dance card is Survivor, Traitors, Love Island All stars and Race to Survive Alaska.

I may end up doing that when we've cleared out some more Survivor seasons. We've been banging them out pretty rapidly. lol
I heard the Bravo chicks were ruining the experience for a lot of people.

I watched Season 2, it was really fun, at least the first 3/4 or so. After we finished we started season 1, but couldn't get into it from the beginning with a whole different cast.
I'm not a reality TV guy so the only people on the whole show that I recognized were Trishelle (because I watched the Real World when I was 13) and Michael Jordan's son. I did come to like a lot of them though

I was rooting for the traitors, and really liked Dan and Parvati, but they really botched the game. Dan particularly f***ed it all up for them when he fell for Peter's trap and tried to kill Bergie. That pretty much outed him and Parvati and then he throws Phaedra under the bus at the round table on the way out. Cost them all the game I think.

If you ever want another reality competition show with a long history like survivor, check out the challenge. Kinda watered down nowadays like Survivor, but the early-mid late seasons are gold. Good starting point is season 12/13 then just go forward chronologically because they have re-occurring people so youll miss out a lot of history and context if you jump around.
CT comes from that show, same with Bananas. Was happy for people to get to experience CT for the first time watching this show. Dudes a gem and has such a long reality tv history.

Because the Bravo ladies are a bunch of the dumbest people ever. Phaedra was a terrible traitor. So was Kate. I enjoy the reality stars that played a game. The housewives nope

Phaedra was hilarious but she played with zero strategy. She just let Dan and Parvati make all the decisions until they were gone, then she didn't know how to play it afterwards and just chose Kate as a recruit rather than someone with more strategic value like Sandra or CT.
The dumbest thing was when Phaedra got eliminated and Kate basically outed herself as the other traitor by making comments about her selfishness.
Watching the reunion episode, you can see the differences between the gamers and the reality people because the gamers were all basically like "yeah, it's just a game, it's all in good fun" and bravo people like Phaedra and MJ were playing up the drama and how they hated Dan and Trishelle's guts respectively in real life because of what went down in the game.
I agree that Phaedra and Kate were terrible traitors. But I didn't find the Bravo ladies annoying, they just lacked experience at competition reality. Kate was great in season 1 as a faithful. I should qualify that...she wasn't great as a faithful, but she was extremely entertaining.
The housewives were definitely not good players, but every last one of them played better than Dan and he's a competition reality first ballot hall of famer.
yea that comment/move by Kate at the round table was easily the dumbest move in Traitor history.
Agree on the difference between veteran games and normal reality people in how they deal with betrayal while playing a game. However, let's not pretend that some of these same reality game show vets weren't also salty and bitter the very first time they were betrayed on a game show. Sure, they are all good sports now, but I'm not sure that was the case when they got their proverbial cherry popped.
Wrapped up S2 of UK Traitors last night. Another top notch amazing season. Only one left to watch for me is the Traitors NZ.
Love this show, surprised it doesn't get more hype.

I don't watch any other reality/competition shows but I got talked into this one and love it. I watched S2 of US, 1 & 2 of UK, and am on 1 of Australia.
Sometimes their theories drive me nuts in trying to identify traitors by trying to find "traitorlike behavior"... I wish someone would point out that the traitors ONLY JOB is not getting identified. There is nothing else they do that is shady or different in the game, so stop looking for it.
But overall, the show tends to be entertaining enough throughout the season then gets real entertaining at the end when there are only a handful of people left that really need to screw other people over to win the money for themselves (UK Season 2 had a great ending)

I don't see that one on Peacock so no. Where would someone in USA watch that version?

Does this work? Not sure if you have to be in Canada to be able to watch it.
don't know, but I don't watch stuff on my computer. Only on the TV.
Just started in on Traitors NZ, the last Traitors I have on Peacock.
Such a great show, surprised more people aren't talking about it. I've loved all 6 seasons I've seen.
Just saw Boston Rob is on Traitors Season 3. Hell yea!!

I watched them as well, there was a Canadian one too. I liked it, seemed a bit like the The Mole. I wish that would come back.

I’ve never heard of this show prior to seeing your post OP. Thanks for posting. I binged season 1 and 2 of the US versions and love it.
Does anyone think it would be better to have a mix of reality show people and never before people ? I tend to think that would make it more interesting.
I’m not sure why they have to put a trans in season 2 and 3. That’s one of the only things bothers me about the show. Not everyone wants to see that and I know many who don’t
