    Hell yeah! They started adding wayyyy too many contestants from Real Housewives. It really fucks with the gameplay at times.

    Way prefer the seasons of The Traitors that have normal people cast.

      The deference that contestants have for housewives is so stupid

        And the housewives all being forced to team up is stupid, too. It ruins the game when there’s too many of them on a single season.

      It is impressive when a non-gamer does well, but an annoying number of non-gamers on the US seasons aren’t thinking strategically.

        It’s kinda funny seeing the non-gamers interact with the gamers though. They get so turned around! It’s both impressive and annoying when a non-gamer lucks into a win haha

          Credit where credit is due, I will say that

          Spoiler

          Rob R winning season 4 of the US was an impressively thorough win, especially coming from a non-gamer, and he definitely didn’t luck into it. It felt really similar to Harry’s win on UK season 2.

    The US version is the only English language version I cannot stand, and it’s the awful reality stars that ruin it for me.

    I’m glad to see this. Maybe it won’t suck.
