Uncloaked
'You think you know how to play the game, you don’t know anything.'
If you spend much time on social media, you would think everyone was watching current US installment of The Traitors. I enjoyed last season, and jumped on board when it started again this year. I also just finished binging Series two of the British version, and ended up enjoying it more than the current US reality stars version.
AndrewI didn't expect to, there are a lot of big personalities on the US version, but there were also many compelling players on the UK version, even though most, if not all, were never on a reality show before. It took an episode or two to get used to host Claudia Winkleman, especially after enjoying Alan Cumming on the US show. Cumming is half the fun, but I began to appreciate Claudia, even if she doesn't quite have the showmanship that Cumming brings to the role.
JazThe UK version ended this past weekend, and I won't spoil the ending, but the round tables were intense. Both shows are filmed at the same castle in the Scottish highlands, and most of the games in the US version, are exactly as they appeared in the UK versions. They played out a bit differently, due to the players, but the set-up and goals are the same.
HarryIf you're enjoying the US reality star version, I suggest you check out the UK version as well. There were a lot of great gamers to root for, and some hotties to cheer on and enjoy as well.
