View Full Version : Traitors series - a suggestion ..

I was thinking that given the unparalleled , unprecedented success of the celeb version of The Traitors what do you reckon about the idea of dumping the civilian show in favour of a celebrity show every 6 months or so


??????


I loved the celebrity show but the original show left me cold and don’t bother with it

It was so more satisfying when you have people you like or love and others you don’t care for at all

….definitely both, I liked the Celebrity edition a lot but I think that I probably favour the civilian ones more, slightly…they’ve always had such tremendous casting…and I love getting to know ‘the unknowns’, that adds something also…

They hit gold with both.

And because most of us like the civilian ones, plus a lot of people who watched the celeb one hadn’t watched before so will increase viewers for that. BBC will continue to run both so unsure why you think they’d cull civilian one right now.

Accept both will be running and just don’t watch the civilian one if you hate it.

I actually started watching the very first ever episode and found it uncomfortable watching .. complete strangers pleading their innocence and some seemed to be revelling just having the cameras on them

I ditched it after about 20 minutes and never bothered with it until I saw Joe Marler and Joe Wilkinson were involved


I can’t wait for the next celeb version

So you’ve based your opinion of the civilian ones on just 20 minutes of the first episode and for that you think BBC should ditch the civilian one. :laugh3:

Well I will never watch the civilian one again as it has no appeal .. it was the famous people who were appealing .

My thinking was that the beeb are making programs to make money not to please the viewers so financially it maybe makes more sense to put all their ideas / efforts/ money into making the civilian series bigger and better

Both are pulling in massive viewers so why would they cull either. The civilian one costs them less too.

We shall see … I don’t think the celebs were particularly costly though


The word was they all got £40,000 flat fee wether they lasted a few days or until the end but Joe Marler went public and revealed that he was paid £30,000

It still costs them more than the civilian series and the last civilian series pulled in 9.3 million on average so they won’t cull it yet. :laugh:

You are taking it as difficult. You offered a thread and I responded with my opinions on why they won’t cull the civilian one yet just because you (after only 20 minutes of watching a civilian season) believed it should be - the point of a thread is to discuss.

Sorry but it seems like you made it personal. Ben has explained why they won’t cancel the normal as it’s a ratings winner, people like watching the normal one and it will more likely get more viewers now the celeb one has finished.

I accept that they may keep the original version but times are hard and the Beeb are under constant pressure to justify certain programs and to make as much money as possible .. so I just figured they may just run with the golden goose option .

Fair comment .. but if the celeb version gets twice as many viewers plus amazing exposure in the media ( fabulous free advertising) they may just be wondering ..

After all both presumably take ages to prepare for and rehearse tasks, both will require new ideas to avoid getting stale .

I think having g two celeb versions would be over kill. Think celeb big brother when that was on twice. I loved that but some people didn’t like two on at one year.

There’s no point in over exposing a great show when they can do it once a year

It’s the occasional thread where I don’t agree with your opinion. And just like in here, I don’t make it personal or put your back up against the wall, you do that yourself because you can’t handle me disagreeing with you and offering options/facts as to why.

…honestly this has got silly…there is nothing personal at all in anything Ben has said …it just feels like not a logical thing to think about a show being culled in any way that’s probably one of the ‘jewels’ of the BBC …it has been and is a phenomenal success and hence why the celebrities that it attracted where drawn to it in the first place, I would say…there is room for both and it would feel like such a crazy decision to take one away/the civilian one…let’s not live in a world of celebrity on our TV/let’s live in a world of regular everyday folk also and have them have life changing opportunities..

This is where you need to get over yourself. I disagree (and agree) with many people’s opinions on here. It’s a forum - we discuss things. Not everyone will agree on things, which is fine. But to call out people on things which are not there because you don’t like them not agreeing with you is silly.

My suggestions have been to either pop me on ignore or don’t post on the forum if you can’t handle people disagreeing with you.

…Zizu, your own words are…

‘You suggested that I’m imagining something because it isn’t present in this thread’

…there is nothing present in this thread that would in any way, indicate anything personal or in any way of being ‘contrary’ shall we say and now you’re looking at me and that I’m at fault in some way because you’ve continued the vein of a thread in a direction that just hadn’t existed and it seems, with the reasoning that you yourself seem to have some personal view or thoughts to voice ….

…as I say, this has got silly…you make many, many threads and many, many, many posts and what you’re saying essentially is that someone has disagreed/opposed even, your thoughts on a handful of occasions…can you not see that the reasoning for that isn’t that it’s in any way personal to you or against you but more that those are a small selection of topics/opinions etc that someone else has been very passionate about in their own opinion, which has been opposite to your own…

…ok, that really is enough…you yourself voice your passion about certain things and how your opinions are based etc and yet don’t seem to always allow the same of others, without feeling that it’s personal against you when it really isn’t there for anyone else to see that’s the way of it…


…getting back completely on track of the thread title…and touching on what Barry said…this edition of celebrity Traitors and at a peak of its popularity, attracted an excellent and first class cast…but even then, some would probably disagree with some of the casting of celebrities they’re less keen on…and that’s the problem, we do have pre fixed opinions of ‘celebrity’ and that can impact our enjoyment of a series and even for some, it could lose some viewers/fans …we’re all so ‘picky’ with BB celebrities and that’s how it would become with Traitors, I feel…so ‘culling’ atm and for the foreseeable of such a hugely successful formula right now would just to me, seem nonsensical…there is room for both and hopefully that will continue for a long while yet…

…there is nothing present in this thread that would in any way, indicate anything personal or in any way of being ‘contrary’ shall we say and now you’re looking at me and that I’m at fault in some way because you’ve continued the vein of a thread in a direction that just hadn’t existed and it seems, with the reasoning that you yourself seem to have some personal view or thoughts to voice ….

…as I say, this has got silly…you make many, many threads and many, many, many posts and what you’re saying essentially is that someone has disagreed/opposed even, your thoughts on a handful of occasions…can you not see that the reasoning for that isn’t that it’s in any way personal to you or against you but more that those are a small selection of topics/opinions etc that someone else has been very passionate about in their own opinion, which has been opposite to your own…

…ok, that really is enough…you yourself voice your passion about certain things and how your opinions are based etc and yet don’t seem to always allow the same of others, without feeling that it’s personal against you when it really isn’t there for anyone else to see that’s the way of it…


…getting back completely on track of the thread title…and touching on what Barry said…this edition of celebrity Traitors and at a peak of its popularity, attracted an excellent and first class cast…but even then, some would probably disagree with some of the casting of celebrities they’re less keen on…and that’s the problem, we do have pre fixed opinions of ‘celebrity’ and that can impact our enjoyment of a series and even for some, it could lose some viewers/fans …we’re all so ‘picky’ with BB celebrities and that’s how it would become with Traitors, I feel…so ‘culling’ atm and for the foreseeable of such a hugely successful formula right now would just to me, seem nonsensical…there is room for both and hopefully that will continue for a long while yet…


You make some very fair points

Apologies to Benjamin and yourself

There’s simply no need !!

I am just too anxious and over sensitive then I get embroiled in undesirable situations

I don't think they should scrap the civilian Traitors,even though I stopped watching the last one as I lost interest. And I actually preferred the celebrity one....it even had more laughs. But I think they should keep both for now.

But I definitely find myself getting more into the celebrity one.

no traitors season will ever be the same because it's down to the personalities of the players both individually and collectively, so i don't think the premise that a celebrity version is better is accurate
