The Traitors USA - Episode 4

[Phoenix]

Spoiler: Results

by Michael you were awful and your accent sucks.

The fighting between the traitors is interesting. I worry that the two dudes would gang up on Cirie (especially that hateful Christian).

Kate has reached the point where she won’t play anymore. She’s pissed and she’s just gonna scowl.

Kyle is interesting, I’ve not watched his show but he seems to have a good head.

The civilians are barely there.

So 4 episodes in and I’m thinking back to what an amazing episode of tv episode 4 of the UK one was and by now we’d had a couple of mad moments in the Aussie one too (Chloe going off was great fun for example) and the US one just hasn’t had one of those moments yet.

I think there’s two reasons:

1. They are for whatever reason quite formulaic in their voting. They just keep with the same suspects and refuse to move on until that person has gone - it feels like they’ve had the same suspects from day 1 and it never seems to go anywhere. Michael has gone and I imagine they’ll just move onto Kate next.

2. I think the UK one had so much drama because the people were not ‘trained’ in how to behave on reality tv. Imagine if this was Rachel Reilly’s first ever reality show and remember what she Was like before she was trained in how to act on camera. Now she’s actually… quite boring? Having half the cast reality tv shows, even though some of them are good characters, they are restrained and less emotional, which doesn’t work well on The Traitors. (It’s works well on Survivor for example).

Interested to see how this ‘heated discussion’ between Cody and Cirie pans out, it will show who is in charge there.

Clearly Christian just does as he’s told. He’s VERY annoying at this stage.

Yes in the UK version the votes were more over the place and so more interesting. It feels like they have been so fixated on the same names, though at least Michael going might open things up a bit.

Cody's eyes were crazy mad in his exchange with Cirie there.

Cirie really is playing this amazingly well, they need to go for Ryan.
Ideally Rachel though as she is SO ANNOYING.
Kate really does not give a shit

It’s been driving me mad what Alan Cummings weirdly affected voice reminds me of in this - it’s The Duchess from My Dad Wrote a Porno!

I'm slowly getting through this and came here to more or less echo what Cwej said above. The problem is that there are just too many people who have said and done absolutely nothing so far. It's all the same suspects at the round table, the same people leading the conversations and the same characters getting the focus.

Even the note business, planted or not, didn't really shake anything up. I've no idea why the Traitors didn't go for someone on the list. It kinda got mentioned at the round table and forgotten about when fingers pointed at Michael (for the third round table running)

I think some of the non-celebrities might be intimidated by those who have been on reality shows before as they're really just fodder at the moment. I assume this will change as the numbers dwindle but it's taking a while to get there.

The best thing at the moment is Cirie's absolute DISDAIN for Christian and how he keeps talking about them being a DREAM TEAM
