The crying

“No one seems to understand that The Traitors is a game – there are no actual murders, so why is Livi crying as if Tyler’s been decapitated?” my colleague Miranda posited after his eviction.

But as someone whose instant reaction to any difficult or uncomfortable situation is to cry, I find the constant tears at the round table very relatable. I know I would be sobbing inconsolably, like Freddie, if anyone so much as gave me a suspicious look, let alone accused me of lying.

That said, I think Miranda has a point when she says: “I just wonder why, if you’re that sensitive, did you enter a game that’s literally all about lying and manipulation?”

“The Traitors is the show that everyone’s talking about right now. Here’s what I love about it and what I think it could do without”
