The Traitors UK (2022– )
10/10
Nail-biting psychological chaos.
23 December 2022
Deception, betrayal, treachery: this reality TV programme has it all. The mental madness inside both the players and the viewers is exilerating. You as a observer are constantly on the edge of your seat wondering weather the players have made the right decision, rooting for the traitors and at the same time hoping the faithful banish correctly.

This programme puts a group of random people who have never met (who by the end of it all are friends for life) together to compete in challenges and against each other to win up to £120k, either as the traitors, to deceive, manipulate and betray or as the faithful, to come together and pinpoint the few traitors among them, who as an observer you know who are.

Each day there is the same routine - or at least that's what the faithful think - the start with breakfast and shortly after they participate in their daily challenge where the work together often in grewsome conditions to win a small fraction of the prize fund which at the end is split between the faithfuls, or if there is even just one traitor remaining, then they take it all. After their challenge they return to the castle (where they all stay during the day) and in the afternoon, the all go to the Round Table where the players discuss and then banish a player who they believe is a traitor. After the Round Table when the clock hits 12 the all leave the castle, where later on the traitors return and decide who to kill.

This programme is cast so well and set perfectly with all the twists and turns that make you want to continue watching. The only reason I am rating this a 9 is because I believe it is too scripted for Claudia's personality; it is scripted to the point where you no longer see her fun and loving personality and she is just speaking from her lines.

Aside from that, I loved watching every single episode of this excruciatingly brilliant programme that left me dieing to watch the next episode the moment the current episode finished. I highly recommend watching it and I hope they bring out a second series next year.
