Is anybody else watching this series of The Traitors?

I am, and I’m absolutely loving it! I’ve never watched the “normal” series before, but me and my mum watched and really enjoyed the celebrity version a few months ago and thoroughly enjoyed it, so we decided to give the regular series a whirl. If anything, I think it’s better than the celebrity version! I somewhat predicted this prior to watching, but I can already sense that the gloves come off somewhat compared to the celebrity version when a) they don’t know each other and therefore have preconceived notions and relationships and b) they’re competing for £100,000 for themselves rather than £100,000 for charity (whether it should or not, I definitely think this will affect how people play). There’s none of the “Oh, I think the world of you, darling…” that there was in the celebrity version; they’re a lot more blunt and tense with each other! I also can’t get over how much the civilians hide about each other… I never would have expected so many people to hide things about themselves!

I’m also really enjoying the new twist of the Secret Traitor. Not knowing the identity of who is effectively the orchestrator of everything that the Traitors do definitely adds an interesting new aspect, and it is fun to come up with theories! Who have we on TS got our eyes on as the Secret Traitor? My personal thoughts are as follows:
  • I had my eyes on Judy initially, but my mum thought she was too obvious and that hunch obviously got stymied after tonight’s episode.
  • I think it could be Fiona, as I noticed she seemed to smirk a lot after the round table and seems like the sort of person who no one would suspect to be a traitor (similarly to Alan Carr in the celebrity version).
  • However, I also wonder if it could be Amanda or another person in an “analytical” profession. I think the producers would probably have picked someone who is likely to be good in the role and know how to evade detection, and I think that some of these people with career histories of needing to study body language and psychology would probably be good at this.

So, I’d love to know; are there any other Traitors watchers on TS? What are your thoughts on the series so far, and the new twist of the Secret Traitor? Who do you think it could be?
