Celebrity Traitors

[iansums]

I see the lineup for the new series has been announced, some interesting people but unfortunately for me a couple of ‘comedians’ that I can’t abide. I never watched the regular series but thoroughly enjoyed the celeb version.

[whelk]

Who is in it?

[iansums]

Amol Rajan, Bella Ramsey, James Acaster, James Blunt, Jerry Hall, Joanne McNally, Joe Lycett, Julie Hesmondhalgh, King Kenny, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Maya Jama, Michael Sheen, Miranda Hart, Myha'la, Professor Hannah Fry, Richard E. Grant, Rob Beckett, Romesh Ranganathan, Ross Kemp, Sebastian Croft, and Sharon Rooney.

Excellent group in there tbh. Think Romesh, James and Rob will be great value.

Which James? could be the one I dislike 🙄 I think Ross Kemp and Richard E Grant will be good.

I've never watched a single second of this show. I've seen a few clips on social media. Is it worth my time?

IMO, the non-celeb traitors is better. But the bar is very high from my PoV, and last year's celeb version was excellent.

In fairness they announced it about 3 months ago.

Only if the paint has finally dried and you've finished bathing the goldfish.

Maya Jama is fit, hopefully a bath shots like that bird on the non celebrity one a few years ago. cannot stand Miranda Hart though

Looks like we’ll have to disagree on this as well then.

I assume you're on the older side, so probably not your type of thing. Unfortunately the bloke from Mrs Browns Boys isn't on it for you.

Ha! No not a fan of that. I don’t find many ‘modern’ comedians funny to be honest but do like Romesh and Rob Beckett, they should be good. Now if Ricky Gervais was on there that would be bloody brilliant.

Great line-up for the new series. Prefer the general public version, as that's usually much more competitve and ruthless than the celeb version, but highly entertaining nonetheless. Televisual-tastic

p.s. James Blunt is my dark horse punt (rhyming slang intended )

Saw him last year in Brighton - he was quality!

Haven’t seen too much of him but whenever I have I’ve struggled to find anything funny as well. Don’t find him annoying or anything, he just wasn’t very funny.

Never seen Traitors and have no intention of watching it but seems like a lot of people like it

Some light relief has started again.

Yep. No idea who many of them are though, especially the one who looks about 12.

Don't watch, won't watch.

Don't get the hype.

Bah humbug !

The people who don’t watch Traitors are like vegans or people who play padel

[iansums]

How many episodes before Acaster or Lycett say something funny?

How dare you, sir. I call you out and demand that you meet me on the field of honour that I might have my reputation upheld.

Not often you see a dual with padel rackets 🙂

Poor Grant Mitchell paranoid already, that time serving in the SAS has given him PTSD

I was thinking more like this.....

i would not watch anything with the word "Celebrity" in the title.

"Pointless Celebrities" - never was a program title more apt.

"Celebrity Mastermind" - people I've never heard of failing to answer questions that a twelve year old would find were an insult to their intelligence.

I was hoping he’d be more like his character in Extras

Also, his brother was shot by his girlfriend on his own doorstep. I'd be paranoid too.

Sorry for any spoilers to anyone who hasn't caught up to circa year 2000 in EastEnders.

I wondered why you were still posting after "Celebrity Invites ecuk268 to the studio to collect £20 million" aired. 🙂

I dunno, the look on his face when someone brushed his arm was as if Vinny Jones had entered the room.

I see the racism has started already

Great to see Antti Niemi on this year’s series.

What a fuck up by Eddie Grant. 

Would be a surprising if he stays.
