The Traitors (Peacock)

[Majingir]

The Traitors is back for season 3 on Peacock. Filming is happening now but show likely doesn't premiere until January if it follows the S1 and 2 scheme. But people seem to think it could premiere in September (and get that Olympic promotion from NBC with this show being on Peacock).

If you're into reality shows, this one has been a fun one to watch. Combines people from many different shows, with this season for instance featuring big names from the CBS shows like Boston Rob, Tony (Survivor 2x winner), Danielle R (from Big Brother), Nikki Bella (WWE) and people from the Bachelor, Housewives and others.

From a Survivor/BB standpoint, getting Boston Rob and Danielle, arguably 2 of the best players from their respective show, to be on this season is huge. Topping off last year with Dan and Parvati who are 2 other top players in their shows history.

As a huge survivor and BB fan, this cast list is incredible. Tony and Boston Rob could make it complete chaos.

Only person I've ever heard of is Nikki Bella and Sam Britney ex.

Tony's definitely hiding in the attic or somewhere to spy on people.

I just hope they're not too big of a threat. Seems like the "non gamers" get offended by the gamers gameplay. It's fun in a way because it's like the old school Survivor where people treated it more like reality and less like a game, but it sucks because some people refuse to "play the game" because that somehow reflects who they are in real life.

Don't think I saw anyone from The Challenge on this cast list, so the Survivor and BB players could be even bigger targets as the only "gamers".

People already starting with the jokes.
Sam is in the middle of getting divorced and as soon as he walks in the traitors house he's gonna see another blonde named Brittney.

As for Nikki Bella, I think she'll be like Janelle last year. She'll be all about the comps and her social/strategic game might suck. She might be more suited for the gamers group, but I could see her teaming up with the housewives. She could be a mix between the two groups, coming from a competitive background and understanding the whole "portraying a tv character", but at the same time she also understands the other side of reality tv in shows similar to the housewives and things like that.



Was looking at comments on the show and seems like people think it could premiere in the fall. It was January the last 2 years, but guess if they're expanding the show with possibly 2 seasons per year, it'll be like a Survivor kind of schedule. Would make more sense given it's filming in June. And you have all the promotion for Traitors/Peacock during the Olympics, so this could air in the time between the Olympics and the election.

I'm in on this next season! My wife watch the 1st and 2nd I think, but I didn't have much interest. Rob piqued by interest, and then I saw Tony!

S1 and 2 are both great for Survivor fans (I won't spoil either one if you do want to watch).

I only watched S2 because I saw names like Parvati, Dan, Janelle and others I recognized. Didn't know what Traitors was when I heard of S1 with Cirie, Stephanie and others. Figured it was just another random reality show.

Now I'm gonna watch S1 throughout the summer even though I know who won, but that's the only detail from the season I know about so it'll be fun.

Yall should watch the foreign (but English language) ones. UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand.

Some get pretty good.

It's funny/weird how I never seem to want to watch versions of shows different from the one I watch because "I don't know the people on the show", but that's literally how most Survivor/BB seasons start anyways, and majority of the Traitors cast too.

I figure there's a hot chick or two to make it interesting, lol.

After the first two seasons, I caught the UK season, then it was like "watch the Australian season next!" and I needed a break lol (I couldn't believe they used the exact same challenges and concepts, you want me to watch the same thing for a third or fourth time? mix it up a bit)

Re: The Traitors (Peacock)

I hate the challenges anyway, haha. Totally just tune out.

New Zealand S2 is current now. Good so far.

Re: The Traitors (Peacock)

S3 starts next week!

Looking forward to the cast again this season, maybe even more than last season where I really only knew 3 or 4 people from that season, but they were the sole reason I got in to this show.

From Survivor they have Jeremy (winner of the 2nd chance season, Boston Rob, Tony (can he build a spy shack indoors?), Carolyn (from S44).

Big Brother they have Danielle R (BB3/AS) and Britney (BB12/14)

Also features Nikki Bella, Dylan Efron (Zac's brother), Sam Asghari (Britney Spears ex) among others.

Should be a fun season. Hopefully it's a better ending than last season which imo got ruined by Kate not caring to win (since she played already in s1, and felt like being a late addition to the traitors wasn't fair so she essentially bowed out) along with that stupid "Pete pals" alliance.

I watched S1 of the show after watching S2 and what an ending for S1. Talk about betrayals. And I also saw S2 for the Canadian edition which featured the worst faithfuls ever and the final reveal was great.

They had Parvati and Sandra last season and Cirie and Stephanie the season before.

Parvati and Sandra played exactly how they played on Survivor.

Re: The Traitors (Peacock)

I like that new rule of nobody revealing if they're a faithful or traitor once they reach the finale.

Other versions do that but the US one didn't before and imo it hurt the end of S2 because you knew there was a traitor since there was a murder the night before, but then after banishing someone who revealed they were a faithful, you knew the traitor made it to the fire. Then Kate voted to end the game which made no sense since you knew a traitor was left and that outed her as a traitor and once they voted her off and she revealed she was a traitor that set up the end with the faithfuls.

I've only seen a few seasons but S1 of the US one and S2 of the Canadian one were so intense at the end.


That was definitely a twist for sure with Boston Rob. I wonder if people said no because they didn't want to exile someone or because they didn't want him in. Sure adding another big player hurts your chances, but he's also such a big target that he'd be almost like a shield for a bit.

I've only seen the first episode so far, but I wonder who else is entering. Rob definitely has the biggest target though. Of any reality show player, he has to be the most mainstream.
