The Traitors Australia S1- this is for people who have watched all 12 eps ***will contain Spoliers***

Olivia reminds me of Liz Birdsworth from Wentworth and Mark is so like Jason Gardiner!

This is a space to discuss our thoughts on S1. I've got 2 eps to watch, I will be back later tonight!

@Miss Begotten here you go. We can shout about it!

I’ve only 4 episodes watched, can’t wait to watch the rest

Aah yes PAUL, we actually played Where's Wally? with Paul. I read that he wouldn't stop commenting about production stuff which they couldn't show, so he was mostly edited out. No idea if that's the truth though.

That’s what I’ve read too which seems to have come from Dirk and also Paul himself. That might be part of it but I just don’t think it’s the full story because there is so much other stuff missing too, like other contestants talking about him, missing from challenges (the one where they each walk across the bridge and try to avoid falling through - they didn’t show his turn), no intro or exit clips.

He has either really, really pissed off production with his unusable footage, or something has happened post-production.

If he was that bad for filming though wouldn’t they have just got rid of him a few days in? Given an excuse to the audience about personal/medical reasons? The clairvoyant left quite abruptly but she was still shown before that and the continuity worked when the players were told at breakfast she had left.

I guess because he got through as far as episode 10/11 (think he was murdered start of e11), I am struggling to think he was ok at the time to stay in for 11 episodes but ended up bad enough he needed to be edited out almost completely.

I loved the challenges they did. The one on the bridge seemed fun & the one on the final ep

We watched S1 when it was first on iplayer and loved it. I was completely sad and left a comment under one of Teresa’s insta posts about it and she replied with a remark implying it hadn’t really been popular. I guess she meant in comparison to the UK and US versions. Looks like it’s getting more viewers now.

I think I have worked out the Paul riddle.

He is a Brit, so will have seen the UK series and was probably commenting on what happened in UK series?

Edit - Actually the Aus one aired before the UK one, so I am wrong

 

[Aussie]

I’m so thankful everyone else on here is saying the same thing - I thought I’d hallucinated the brief early appearance of a British man who was never seen or heard again until a few episodes towards the end! 🫤


Poor Craig. He really was the Mollie to Alex’s Harry

I spent way more time than necessary wondering exactly how early Fi had to get up to have enough time to clag so much make-up onto her face.

That said, her meltdown when she thought Teresa had been murdered was utterly exquisite

That was so funny

I love Teresa, I follow her on insta and she's posted a clip of best bits the producers have made of her, it's funny. Clearly S1 is getting more viewers on re-runs.

I loved her too. I've still not watched S2 yet. I needed a break from the traitors

Thank you for posting about that, just went to have a look. Hilarious

She wasn’t the most likeable, but my god she played an amazing game. I honestly think she was a worthy winner.

I agree. Also did the contestants have professional make up artists!! Some of them were very glam.

Rodger is hot though, I can't blame them.

he’s so hot!!! I think he is my second favourite host after Claudia. v glad to have somewhere to talk about this season hahaha

I think that looney tune Claire was a producer plant to stir up drama.

I suspect Paul wasn't shown a lot because he just wasn't signed off to take part in the physical challenges -- he didn't look like a fit older person sorry to say, & the Aus challenges were crazy. I think I saw him standing ashore during the first shield challenge.
