    Absolutely hysterical how bad they were as a collection of faithfuls

    Cracking TV - preferred it to the standard version as that charity aspect (and them all getting paid anyway) meant most of them just treated it like a fun few days and a game rather than life and death.

    Agree the Celeb Traitors was the best one, although i have watched the others and they are just as good on their own merit. Crazy finale, no spoilers as still early but amazing how bad they were at getting it right this season. 

    Now i suppose Celebs around the world will be my next fix, i do enjoy that show and just generally seeing different places and how people cope on a limited budget getting from A to B, another good one to watch. Just seen the line up, i dont really know any bar Roman Kemp, but still i don't watch for the celeb factor so i'm sure it will be good, although Kelly Brook being in the last one did help.

    The game is just such a great concept. Tension all the way through and always does go right down to the wire.
    It brings inklings of many other TV games together. Like the Apprentice for example or Golden balls with Jasper Carrot (who remembers that!!)
    That said, the editing and mood music do enhance the levels massively.

    Traitors was compelling viewing. Race Across The World has started well, even if you don’t know the people in it it’s worth watching for the scenery etc.

    exactly that, i watch it for the exploring / seeing different countries. I've not started it yet, but gives me the weekly fix of something

    Interestingly (to me anyway) is that I find Survivor to be the most similar in terms of tense moments, the tense votes, people getting a shock when they get voted off etc.

    Main difference is that the alliances, everyone having the same chances etc rather than the Traitors having an advantage.

    But whereas the US & Aussie series are great and successful, it's never been quite right/never taken off over here.

    That series was decent tbf!  Just badly marketed etc.

    The other two weren't great, and Joel Dommett was a terrible choice of host.

    OK - so Pluribus might just be the best first episode of anything I've ever watched.

    One thing with Celebrity Traitors that made it more interesting was the quality of “celebrity”. 
    The fact is that the celebrities were actually famous people!
    I think there was one YouTuber in the whole cast and not a single person ‘famous’ for being on some trashy reality bollocks.
    We all have our preconceptions of people like Stephen Fry, Celia Imrie or Alan Carr for example, but the approach and gameplay of pretty much all of them was sometimes surprising, but always fascinating to watch and hugely entertaining.

    Excellent stuff.
    I’m happy to watch the general public play too, as they’re genuine unknowns, but this celebrity series highlights how much of a difference it makes having genuinely talented and entertaining people involved, rather than 15 minuters selling their dignity for the sake of their instagram.
