The Traitors - Episode 12: The Final (1 Viewer)

I see Amanda is doing a PA at a homosexual nightclub in Glasgow. I assume it will just be a meet and greet affair. I wonder if she'll have bought some of her merch.
 
They are in talks to buy All3 Media who make this and Fleabag.
 
Surely if they did though it wouldn’t be until after Season 2? Will that not be about ready to get filmed, if it’s not started filming already?
 
NO.

I already boycott Bake Off, I don't want to add The Traitors too

Yet you watch/watched Love Island on ITV2.

Not unusual for ITV Studio content to be on other channels. I’m not really fussed either way though. Bake Off moving to Channel 4 was hardly the end of the show that everyone predicted.

This means very little in the grand scheme of things - ITV also own the production company who makes Line of Duty, for instance.

I'm sure ITV (and Channel 4, and Netflix / Amazon) would all absolutely love to pouch The Traitors from the BBC, but any attempts would be done separately to overall ownership deals I think?

I didn’t realise any of this and I personally think it’s a great fit for BBC but would of course continue to watch regardless. I THINK if ITV do buy the production company depending what contracts etc the show has with BBC I would not be surprised if they did poach it due to the fact the BBC would be their main rivals.
 
Shows that abandon the BBC are the issue, not shows that start on other channels (or move between commercial broadcasters)

Just the BBC? Interesting. Is it the ad breaks that irk you? What about other shows like Big Brother that have went between a few stations?

The BBC put funding into shows that may not be commercially successful, and Bake Off is the prime example of a show that would never have been originated on another channel. To abandon the BBC once you have a surprise smash success in the name of more money and a worse viewer experience (adverts and no history lessons) is quite frankly TREASON.

The Traitors isn't quite the same since it was a format that was bought, but still, to abandon the BBC after becoming unexpectedly big is still shocking behaviour, and should be made a criminal offence.

(Also the serious point about the BBC needing to provide value for money for the licence fee and how much harder that becomes when any time you have a success capitalist vultures with much larger budgets try and steal it from you then the next day argue that the BBC is crap and should be commercialised)

I actually agree wholeheartedly with all your main points and have never actually thought about it to those depths.

She's at Bristol Pride next week, on the cabaret stage, which is largely just drag performers otherwise.

Nadine Coyle is on the main stage at the same time, so I doubt she'll get much of an audience.

I like that I don't know which one you're seeing a low turn out for.

Bristol is absolutely beautiful, I miss it. Enjoy :)
 
My guess would be after Survivor finishes, that has another 7 weeks to go if they keep the Saturday-Sunday format.
But that's scheduled to finish just before Christmas. Why do you think they will start it that late, and at weekends, when the first season started the end of November, was over by just before Christmas, and was midweek?

The Finale and Reunion might be the same night if it's like Race Across The World. so done on a Saturday and Traitors debuting on a Sunday? 🤔

It could prove to be a good lead-in, but hopefully its sooner as I'd like it if they kept it like last years format.
 
I really liked the scheduling of The Traitors last year. Split over the midweek made it easier to catchup if you did miss an episode but regular enough to keep you gagging4it.
 
Knocking The Traitors off the festive schedule in favour of some flop remake of a noughties reality show that flopped in the first place would surely be an act of incredible self-sabotage from the BBC.
 
Yeah I think late December (or more likely New Year's Day/Jan) feels most likely, despite the early Halloween-y trailer. I'd be very surprised if the BBC will want to have The Traitors, Survivor and Strictly all running at the same time.
 
I don't think they would be starting the 'coming soon' promo quite yet if it wasn't starting for another eight or nine weeks.

I still think it's likely they will schedule it very similarly to last year, and it will launch end of November and finish the week before Christmas, if they keep the same length. But I guess if it doesn't start then, it most likely will be a New Year launch, as I assume they wouldn't show it straddling the festive period.

I'm sure the BBC probably would get criticism in some areas for giving over so much primetime to reality, but the people who complain about that will always look for something to beat the BBC with, so hopefully they won't be taken into account.

Thinking about it though, if it launched in that first week of January, having it to look forward to in those fucking awful first weeks of the year wouldn't be a bad thing at all. But I want it ASAP, please.
 
Hooray! God I'm so tempted, even though I know I'd have a breakdown
 
Season One finished and thoroughly enjoyed reading back the threads here with a LOT of hindsight.

The thing I just don't understand is how people make such negative judgments about people (well, Wilf) PLAYING A GAME. Of course he was a cunt, that was LITERALLY his reason for being and whether his end speech was knowingly done or not doesn't matter. As much as I detested Kieran at the end, again, it has no bearing on who he actually is as a person. We're weird.
 
Because the entire narrative drive of the show is based on part of the cast being villains?

True but I’m not sure that holds up if everyone was so passionately willing Amanda to win.

To be clear, I don't mean we can't DISLIKE people- you're right, that is the entire point (though @Pingu makes a great point there too about Amanda)- but I meant more about the people in the threads just pulling him apart PERSONALLY rather than the character he is obviously playing. I had the advantage of reading the narrative across the threads very quickly but a lot of people were like "OH IT'S JUST A GAME" one minute and then "HE'S A DISGUSTING HUMAN BEING" the next :D
