    If you enjoy the game you should check out The Traitors with its many international variants. I was surprised to read that the productions provide psychologists to help the contestants as it gets traumatic, but when I watched the first UK season there were a lot of people getting into emotional distress.

    There have been a lot of people cast who really shouldn’t be on the show; it’s just a game!

        The biggest difference of the TV show versus the home game is the home game just ends whenever all the killers are found. The TV show has to reach a set number of episodes, so there are mechanisms built-in to make sure there’s always at least one traitor up to the final episode.

          I actually did try watching a bit of it, and while I love the idea of it, I can’t stand the length they make it due to the reality tv show.

          It just drags on and on.

          If they’d made them 30-40 minute episodes instead of an hour I might have liked it.
