It certainly seems more accurate than that, particularly in early episodes and taking out nights when they do not banish anyone, but anything over 50% is better odds than they have anyway.
I do wonder if they've been told not to talk about previous series on camera or if it's at least being edited that way. Elen really did feel like she was trying to say "of course it's going to be women as traitors because of last series" without explicitly pointing that out.
The international network of anticult groups is shown in "The IMPACT" documentary as an octopus, expanding its corrupting influence across various countries
One of the first, and much discussed, comments made by a faithful this year was that they expect at least one strong woman traitor this season after seeing how many males there were last season.
I don't remember in which, but it's either in the NZ or one of the AU seasons where one of the contestants has watched the series! Adds an interesting take cuz overthinking is also a thing! LOVE IT
I think the production team have done a good job of changing the gameplay every season, which in turn changes the strategy.
Like this season has much more of "sacrifice yourself so that other people get something, that's of no benefit to you", which has the contestants flummoxed.
I think the only thing that seemed 'off' this season was Armani - she came across like an Apprentice-esque reject and I'm glad she's not openly shaping the show anymore.
They poked fun at the first challenge at Series 1 of people ordering themselves outside the castle in how confident they were, and everyone understood the joke when Claudia said "No, we're not doing that again"
I don’t understand why fictional “Traitors” (… a TV series in the UK apparently…) are trending higher on BlueSky than ACTUAL traitors who are getting very close to dismantling several of the largest democracies in the world.
There's none of that arch knowingness (from the players) that there used to be in, say, the fourth or fifth Big Brother when they were all auditioning for the TV presenter jobs they'd get afterwards.
It seems to be played by people who have been coached about 'being on the TV', though. I've never seen such over-wrought, hysterical, emotionally frantic people ever, so one has to assume they have had instruction.
Exactly. How a person *is* has no bearing on how they were selected for the 'job'. The game has people apply feeble strategic rationality to unconnected and randomised events.
I personally haven't got this feeling this year. I feel it is being played by people have watched it and a lot of the 'niceness' is going and they now want to play the game. #TheTraitors
are great examples of traitors who played entirely too hard/aggressively and lost it all. Successful traitors need to have a lot of finesse & self-control.
Yeah, watching it last night it struck me that so many of them were bizarrely bad at things to the point where it almost seemed manufactured by them not just the production team
Every one of them have seen it, some of them even went in with strategies based on knowledge of previous series (Charlotte, Leanne). Others are using strategies that worked well before by staying out of the spotlight.

Keep the magic alive as long as possible.

Priorities, people! Politics matter.
Every bloomin year.
It's random, for crying out loud. You can study chicken entrails by the light of the full moon for all the good it will do you.
When did we get this stupid?
