The Traitors (WARNING: Potential spoilers!)

Where'd you find that? Seems a pretty niche circumstance (accepting it did once happen), and one that'd surely just be handled by one of the 3 voting to banish again?

Didn’t find it anywhere, it’s just what has happened. Not sure why you don’t think two traitors can just split it? It’s also plausible that the producers of that Australian season wanted a little more drama in an otherwise slightly boring end game.

On a different note; what was everyone's favourite bit of this series?

In my opinion, watching two separate people implode their own game by going after Rachel made for absolutely incredible television! Fiona vs Rachel was a particularly gripping match; those few minutes in the episode after Amanda was banished were quite something to behold!

It's the three = prisoner dilemma bit I was enquiring over. That makes no sense at all.

It was most definitely baked in to the format, you can see there were previous iterations of it in other non-English versions too. What I'm interested in is whether that was ever part of the UK series. It's possible it never was, but that'd make some of the turret dialogue in S2 about splitting a bit weird. Also possible I'm misremembering.

I'll rewatch at some point and let you know.
 
I’ve enjoyed this series immensely, but it does feel like the format might start producing diminishing returns quite soon.

S5 is in the works, and there’s definitely appetite for at least 1 more celebrity version. But, I wouldn’t be surprised if the momentum starts to die after these.
 
Im not an avid watcher but question, every season a traitor wins, doesn’t that mean the game is too heavily weighted in favour of the traitors?

Series 1: three faithfuls win
Series 2: one traitor wins
Series 3: three faithfuls win
Series 4: two traitors win

So, 50/50 split between faithfuls and traitors (UK series at least)
 
Unless they select random members of the public to go on stage, I don’t see how Traitors would translate to a stage show at all.

The whole thing that makes it entertaining viewing is the unscripted interactions of a random group of people who are placed together by circumstance and have a shared goal.

I don’t see how a stage show Traitors with actors would work; it would basically just be a whodunnit without the mystery from the audience’s standpoint!
