There's a bunch of problems I had with this show.
The first being that the contestants are acting extremely fake. Possibly due to encouragement of the production team to make for better tv. To me it was off-putting. These are people who met each other a day ago, and acting like the world is ending when a person they met minutes ago gets sent away.
The deck is extremely stacked against the non-traitors (in the beginning). This show is sort of an offshoot of the mafia game. The thing is with the mafia game you'd normally see it played with people who know each other, so when somebody becomes a mafia and acts differently because of it. They can sort of tell.
Here you are playing with complete strangers, and after 3 episodes they basically have to guess based on absolutely nothing at all who the 'traitors' are. So of course they are sending the wrong people off.
So the traitors don't only get to 'kill' somebody off, they ALSO have the benefit of the others sending the wrong people away every episode. Because they are literally deciding who to vote for by putting their finger in their mouth and then seeing from where the wind blows.
And of course every time a wrong person gets sent off, they bawl and cry and "oh nooooossss". Again, fake.
Possibly the biggest problem: There are no likeable characters. Usually in game shows like this you want to root for somebody to end up winning and that will keep you watching.
After 3 episodes I wished they would all lose.
