The Traitors had a really thrilling finale. We bought loads of twists, betrayal, banishment, and victory for sure gamers. Total, it was an ending worthy of its highway. It additionally simply made me extra thrilled for the following season.
Nevertheless, The Traitors US Season 3 finale might have been even higher with just a few adjustments. One in every of them is a slight altering of the most important twist of Season 3. It has labored higher prior to now, and I feel I do know why, and I’ve some ideas on methods it may possibly improved in future seasons.
Allow us to talk about.
Warning: The Traitors US Season 3 spoilers are forward. Additionally, some The Traitors UK Collection 3 spoilers are forward. Proceed with warning.
The Seer Twist Ended In A Lackluster Manner In Season 3
The Seer twist is about up as this main factor for the season. The participant who holds the ability will get to know the id of 1 participant. This might give the Faithfuls a bonus in the event that they choose appropriately. Nevertheless, it might additionally work within the Traitors’ favor.
On The Traitors Season 3 finale, Britney Haynes wins the Seer energy. She is a Traitor, so she already is aware of that everybody else remaining is a Trustworthy. She picks Gabby Windey. Gabby confirms that she is a Trustworthy. The suspense round that is whether or not Britney will attempt to paint Gabby as a Trustworthy or as a Traitor.
Britney decides to be truthful and disclose to everybody that Gabby is a Trustworthy. Britney did this to win the belief of Gabby and make the group imagine that solely Trustworthy gamers remained. In line with the confessionals, Britney’s selection confused a few of the finalists. This made them not sure if she was a Trustworthy or a Traitor.
Dylan Efron turns into much more confused by the Gabby-is-a-Trustworthy reveal and begins to surprise if she and Britney might each be Traitors. Finally, this twist didn’t assist Britney, and he or she was banished. It could have helped Gabby make sure that she stayed and gained some cash.
Total, the Seer twist added no pleasure to the finale. The second Britney was introduced because the holder, it misplaced all momentum.
We knew Britney was a Traitor and never more likely to attempt to play a devious recreation by portray another person as one. I personally imagine that Danielle Reyes gained the Seer energy. Nevertheless, as soon as she was banished, Britney bought it because the second-place finisher, however that is simply my idea.
Though Danielle and Britney had been Traitors, Danielle might have used the ability extra entertainingly. She might have picked Dylan or Dolores Catania and tried to persuade them that she was a Trustworthy and so they might end the sport collectively.
Moreover, there’s additionally a risk that she is aware of Dylan can’t be swayed to her aspect. She might then pull a Hail Mary and attempt to paint him as a Traitor. Danielle because the Seer (had she gained it and stayed within the recreation) had potential for one thing thrilling, however general, the ability didn’t add something to The Traitors US.
It Yields Thrilling Outcomes On The UK Model
On The Traitors UK Season 3 (presently streaming on Peacock, and is likely one of the greatest exhibits to observe on there), somebody wins the Seer energy who’s a Trustworthy. They then by chance choose a Traitor. Earlier than selecting the particular person, they had been assured that they had been a Trustworthy. They needed to substantiate it so they may all finish the sport collectively.
The reveal could be very dramatic. Then the following day, the depth will increase as a result of these gamers go after one another. The Traitor tries to color the Trustworthy as a liar and a Traitor. It’s very entertaining and units the Seer energy up as this thrilling twist.
This made me very excited to see it play out within the American model, but it surely simply didn’t have the identical depth or leisure. It felt like a twist with loads of potential that didn’t work properly within the US format.
If These Issues Occurred On Traitors US, I Suppose The Twist Would Have Labored Higher
I already talked a few situation the place Danielle gained the Seer energy and what she might need carried out with it. There may be additionally a situation the place Britney or Danielle wins the ability and takes one another to the room. They may then use this further time to plan easy methods to play issues so that they survive collectively in the long run.
Nonetheless, I feel the twist works greatest when somebody wins it who isn’t a Traitor. If any of the Faithfuls gained, they’d have seemingly picked Britney as a result of Danielle put suspicion on her when she felt betrayed.
If a Trustworthy gained the Seer energy and chosen Britney, we’d see a minimum of some pressure. Moreover, perhaps Britney can confuse folks sufficient that a minimum of the ultimate gathering doesn’t finish with everybody splitting the cash. Within the UK model, the Seer twist creates sufficient suspicion that it’s not a peaceable ending.
The Seer energy wants some pressure and that primarily works if a Trustworthy wins it and should attempt to out somebody as a Traitor. That added ingredient is required for suspense and to make the present much more bingeable.
The Seer Twist May Work On Future Seasons However Wants A Few Modifications
I feel the Seer energy labored on the UK model due to who gained it and who they picked. I feel sooner or later, it must be an influence {that a} Trustworthy wins. Nevertheless, perhaps make it a little bit extra difficult by telling the Trustworthy whether or not a Traitor remains to be there however not their id. This might be an enchancment as a result of it permits them to know whether or not somebody remaining is a Traitor, but when all Faithfuls stay, they may lie.
They may say a Traitor is there as a result of it might make the Faithfuls belief that they aren’t one, and perhaps enable them to remove folks to have a much bigger share of the prize cash. There may be additionally nonetheless intrigue if the Seer-power-holder says that every one Faithfuls stay.
This will make the others assume that they’re mendacity and the Traitor. There may be loads of potential drama with out exposing a reputation. If a Traitor wins the Seer energy, they need to get a distinct benefit.
One which helps them protect their id. Possibly if a Traitor wins, the Seer energy is mechanically void. Alan Cumming can announce a Traitor gained so the ability now not works (clearly, he would not point out who gained). The competitions to win the Seer energy might be extra secretive subsequent time so it’s tougher to know who gained it. If a Traitor wins it, perhaps it’s void however the entire choice course of can be secret. Due to this fact, anybody can declare it and lie. This could create a lot confusion. For instance, say Britney gained and didn’t invite anybody, however might inform the group she gained and picked Gabby.
She might then lie and say no matter she needs, whereas Gabby is confused and freaks out about being dragged right into a lie. Additionally if the choice is secret, if the Trustworthy is aware of a Trustworthy or Traitor’s id, they’ll simply maintain that info till wanted.
These are only a few options, however I’m certain The Traitors producers can work out some intelligent methods to enhance it.
I Suppose The Twist Is A Recreation Changer And Wants To Keep
Total, I actually just like the Seer twist, particularly seeing the way it performed out on the UK model. It has loads of potential to be this actually attention-grabbing and sophisticated ingredient of the sport. It’s not that the twist doesn’t work, it simply wants tweaking to make sure that it at all times produces some type of pressure or leisure.
The best way it performed out within the US model made it really feel ineffective, however realizing the outcomes of the UK model earlier than watching the US one, I knew how nice it might be underneath the best circumstances. We simply want to ensure the circumstances are at all times proper.
