New reality show Traitors with Alan Cumming as host

It does get better, at least the UK one that aired here a couple of weeks ago did. I’m looking forward to seeing Alan Cumming as the host of yours.

I’m about half way through the UK series and a little late to the party. It’s been a massive hit in the UK. I’m quite enjoying it. The Uk version is all unknown folk - no celebs or sort-of celebs except the host. I love Alan Cumming so will probably watch the US version which I believe is filmed at the same Scottish castle.

I love AC, but not really a fan of reality tv.

the whole season is available on peacock I'm not sure for commercial TV. 

I’m 4 episodes in and I’m enjoying it.  I love that it’s so campy and I’ll watch Alan Cumming in almost anything.  I wish they didn’t drag out the reactions so much…the length of the breakfast scenes can be cut down by 80%

Just finished today. A little hokey, but watched because I’m a fan of Arie and Cirie. I enjoyed it.

I haven't, but thank you for mentioning it. It sounds interesting!

I started to watch the Aussie version of this show...and I gave up after 1 episode.
I thought it was boring, but I just watched the trailer for the USA version and it looks like they amped it up from the version we got.

I just googled to find the trailer and see where it was on, and had to laugh when I found an article saying that some Americans were complaining on social media about Cumming's "fake Scottish accent"



I love his voice, he's fantastic to listen to when he narrates audiobooks, I wish he'd more of them.

It’s funny when that happens. I remember when we were all talking on here about The Fall and some of the US folk were complaining about Gillian Anderson’s English accent and commenting how bad it is. As a native Brit, I can say it is the most perfect English accent; not surprising as she grew up in England. I’ve been watching Alan Cumming since his very early days, and this is how he really talks!

As an aside, his episode of ‘Who do You Think You Are?’  is one of the saddest, most gut-wrenching one I have ever seen and well worth seeking out on BBC streaming service.

(I have come here every day recently to see if anyone posted about this - ta dah!)



Me too! We're in the UK and didn't watch until a friend said she was hooked and recommended we give it a try - wouldn't normally enjoy that kind of reality TV at all. Somehow, though, we got hooked :-) Now we've started watching the US version on BBC and have found the "personalities" a little much. Some of the changes are interesting - that first jaw dropping moment outside the castle as the UK group assembled (can't say more without a spoiler!) was an instant "hook" and we wondered why it didn't happen with the US one? Still, a clever concept and we'll stick with it. It's interesting to see what everyone else thinks.

No, it was filmed here - in an 'old hotel...castle sounds much better!

I watched it...and really liked it. Much better than what I saw of the Australian one, and adding in some people we know from other reality TV shows made it a bit more interesting. Plus AC was perfect for the role of host.
I'd watch another series.

I think I’m about half way through. I’m not enjoying it quite as much as the UK one as the games are the same but Alan Cumming is in absolute delight.

Yes, I looked up the UK one and saw that it seemed to be pretty much the same, just with different people playing.  
I didn't really see the point in watching them both either.
UK wasted a perfect opportunity in not using Alan Cumming.

Thank you SO much for mentioning this.  I have just watched this and I am throughly enjoying it!
