The Traitors Season 3 made an thrilling return with many viral moments, game-changing twists, and an intriguing forged. Plus, Alan Cumming continued to look fabulous in each episode. As a self-proclaimed Traitors superfan, I’ve been wanting ahead to this season. And up to now, it’s simply as chaotic as I hoped.
Nonetheless, a number of the occasions within the first three episodes of The Traitors Season 3 have raised some issues. I nonetheless suppose this will probably be an amazing season, however I hope just a few issues don’t occur. Let’s discuss it.
Warning: The Traitors Season 3 Episodes 1-3 spoilers are forward. Proceed with warning.
Boston Rob Changing into The Final Traitor Standing.
Boston Rob becoming a member of The Traitors Season 3 surprises nobody as a result of it was a not-too-guarded secret. Nonetheless, there have been combined reactions to his entrance on The Traitors. I’ve restricted information of Boston Rob. I’ve solely seen his most up-to-date seasons of Survivor and his look on Deal or No Deal Island. Subsequently, I don’t think about myself a Boston Rob fan or a hater.
I’m impartial about him. Nonetheless, I’m a fan of Danielle Reyes, Bob the Drag Queen, and Carolyn Wiger. I’m rooting for a type of three (or a number of) to win The Traitors Season 3, however this can be tough for them. Some Faithfuls already suspect Bob and Danielle of being Traitors. Carolyn has gone undetected, however in Episode 3, her roaming the home drew consideration.
Bob, Carolyn, and Danielle have all made themselves susceptible by not mixing in sufficient as Traitors pretending to be Faithfuls. Boston Rob just isn’t on anybody’s radar, however Derrick Levasseur is aware of to observe and monitor him. Derrick might ultimately work out Rob’s traitor methods and attempt to sway others to banish him. Nonetheless, Rob excels at making loyal allies, so even when Derrick figures it out, Rob might have too many gamers on his aspect to lose.
However, most of the Season 3 forged are acquainted sufficient with Boston Rob to not fall for a few of his previous tips. However due to the present edit, I’m frightened he’ll make it additional than the opposite three Traitors.
It wouldn’t be some huge injustice or crime if Boston Rob wins The Traitors Season 3. It could be high quality. He’s no less than a fan of the present and clearly takes it critically, so it might be a deserved and entertaining win. I simply suppose it might be extra thrilling (for me) if any of the opposite three win as Traitors.
Some Of The Actuality TV Stars Fading To The Background
I’m conversant in about 14 individuals on The Traitors Season 3 forged. Which means that I do know extra of them than I don’t know. I had the alternative expertise with The Traitors Season 2 forged, I knew loads of them however not sufficient. Nonetheless, a few of my favorites from Season 2 have been gamers I knew nothing about earlier than the season, like Phaedra Parks, Shereé Whitfield, and MJ Javid. Kate Chastain was additionally considered one of my favourite gamers on The Traitors Season 1.
Subsequently, I used to be excited to see some acquainted faces, however much more excited to satisfy a number of the gamers which are new to me. After the primary three episodes, I’m frightened that the present will focus an excessive amount of on specific characters and others will get little or no display screen time.
This naturally occurs with actuality TV exhibits, particularly with extra of a concentrate on huge personalities, however all these individuals have huge personalities. But it already looks like some are beginning to fade into the background, but it surely’s solely been three episodes so that may change quickly. Everybody doesn’t want a starring position in The Traitors Season 3, however I need to get to know most of them no less than to some extent.
Many Large Personalities Are Eradicated Early
Wells Adams, Dorinda Medley, Chanel Ayan, and Tony Vlachos have all been banished or murdered. I’m conversant in Tony from Survivor and Wells from varied actuality TV exhibits. I’m not conversant in Dorinda or Ayan. However, within the first couple of Traitors episodes, Ayan instantly stood out for being vocal and attention-grabbing.
I knew she was going to make some good TV moments. Dorinda didn’t get sufficient time to make an impression however I heard slightly bit about her fame (and a few of her previous misfortunes) as one of many Actual Housewives, so I believe she might have been actually enjoyable to observe on The Traitors. I do know Tony and Wells may be huge characters, and clearly Ayan and Dorinda are as nicely.
Large personalities being taken out might begin a sample that resolves my earlier worry about some actuality TV stars fading into the background, however we want a steadiness of quiet and loud personalities to essentially give a present some dynamics and layers.
Dylan Efron Being Banished Or Dying Quickly On The Traitors Season 3
Dylan Efron is a contestant who has stood out among the many actuality TV present giants. Whether or not that will probably be an excellent or unhealthy factor remains to be being decided. He could possibly be the brand new Peter Weber (in a nasty method) main the cost in opposition to the Traitors in a less-than-pleasant method. He might additionally turn into a likable Traitors’ hunter. We don’t know but. I simply hope he lasts lengthy sufficient to turn into a enjoyable adversary to the Traitors.
I’m frightened that he’s too vocal already. This will likely imply the Traitors homicide him to remove somebody who might expose them or somebody that everybody trusts as a Devoted, or his Traitor looking makes individuals query if he’s actually a Traitor. I believe Dylan might not be lengthy for The Traitors Season 3 however I hope I’m fallacious. I believe he might turn into a breakout actuality TV star and some of the attention-grabbing Faithfuls of the season.
The Modifications To The Challenges Make Them Much less Attention-grabbing Than They Are On The Traitors UK
It’s well-known now that The Traitors UK and The Traitors US (and I consider The Traitors Canada) use the identical competitions. I don’t thoughts it and won’t be a part of these complaining about these similarities. Nonetheless, I used to be barely aggravated seeing that The Traitors Season 3 US had the cage twist, however with a change.
Within the UK model, three gamers made a sacrifice for the nice of the group and have been introduced again in cages. Nonetheless, solely two of them would get a second likelihood. The opposite gamers then needed to distribute cash within the gamers’ tubes. The primary two to be lowered joined the sport. The third could be eradicated. The Traitors US did the identical problem with out the addition of an elimination.
Derrick, Boston Rob, and Wes Bergmann returned to the sport and not using a threat of elimination. The UK one was extra thrilling as a result of somebody left. The US model clearly needed Wes, Rob, and Derrick to play and selected to make this competitors much less thrilling with decrease stakes.
I don’t thoughts some modifications between the worldwide variations to maintain issues recent however I might need modifications that make issues extra attention-grabbing, not much less.
Danielle Follows The Pattern Of Different Legendary Large Brother Gamers In Not Making It Far
As of January 2025, a couple of dozen former North American Large Brother gamers have performed The Traitors US and The Traitors Canada. Nearly all of the gamers haven’t made it to the finals. One former Large Brother Canada participant did very nicely on their season of The Traitors. Nonetheless, there was a sample of former Large Brother gamers not doing so nicely on The Traitors.
This appears particularly odd as a result of they need to excel on The Traitors. It looks like a recreation with comparable eventualities to the long-running CBS hit actuality TV present.
I used to be not excited when Danielle was chosen as a Traitor. It appeared like a nasty place for her as a result of if I have been taking part in, she could be considered one of my first guesses of somebody being a Traitor. The position appears made for her. I do know some Faithfuls are pondering the identical factor. I worry that she will probably be one of many first Traitors banished and never make it close to the finale. I hope I’m fallacious about this as a result of I would like Danielle to make it far, if not win The Traitors Season 3.
It’s time for a Danielle Reyes win.
It’s nonetheless very early so I hope that none of my fears about what might occur this season come true. Nonetheless, in the event that they do, I nonetheless suppose this will probably be a really entertaining, messy, conversation-starting season.
