This season of The Traitors has been a disappointing one, with its formulaic challenges and shallow characters leaving viewers underwhelmed. While the mid-episode challenges remain a crutch to prolong the show's already meandering pace, they can't excuse the lack of development in other areas.
The introduction of new twists doesn't seem to bring much change to the overall format, and the reveal of the Secret Traitor comes far too early, spoiling any potential suspense. The connections between contestants are also underwhelming, with Judy and Roxy's secret bond fizzling out without resolution.
However, it's hard to deny that Rachel is a standout in this season. Her natural untrustworthiness makes her an effective manipulator, always keeping viewers guessing until the very end. She turns the entire show around her, using her charm to turn others against each other.
The final episode is still tense and suspenseful, making for a compelling watch even if the rest of the series can't be said for its quality. The stress and anxiety Rachel causes in those final minutes are palpable, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
Despite some promising contestants like James, who seems to have treated the show as an audition for a bizarre CBeebies show about a vomiting gardener, this season leaves much to be desired. The lack of character development and the formulaic nature of the challenges make it difficult to get fully invested in the competition.
One can only hope that future seasons will improve upon this uneven series, but at least the finale delivers on its promise of drama and suspense.

rachel though is literally the only reason i kept watching her manipulative game was on point tho 
but seriously guys the whole thing just felt like a slog to get through 
they need to spice up the challenges and give us some real connections between the contestants or idc about this season 
. I mean, don't even get me started on the mid-episode challenges - they're just a lazy way to fill time when the real drama should be happening between contestants. And can we talk about how underwhelming those secret connections are? I was so invested in Judy and Roxy's dynamic but it just fizzled out.
! She's got that untrustworthiness thing down pat and keeps you guessing until the very end. The stress she causes in those final episodes is real, I was on the edge of my seat 
!
The twists aren't even new anymore, it's just the same old thing. And Rachel was literally the only one who saved the finale for us 
. I mean, Rachel is literally the only one who saved it for me 
. She's like a master manipulator, keeping us all guessing till the end. But come on, the rest of the contestants are just so... basic 
. And don't even get me started on the challenges - they're just so predictable 
. I need some real twists and turns to keep me engaged, not just mid-episode surprises that are basically just an excuse for more filler content 
. Can't they just leave us in suspense a little longer? 
. The tension and anxiety Rachel caused at the end were totally on point 
. Maybe next season will step up its game, but until then, I'll just be over here watching Rachel slay the game 
... but it's been such a letdown. I mean, Rachel is literally the only one who saves this show from complete disaster 
. I don't want to just watch people do weird obstacle courses all day... give me some real character development any time! 
- that last episode had me screaming at the screen "NOOOO!" 
but overall, it's been a bit of a snooze-fest for me this season 
Can't help but feel like we're stuck in a loop, same old same old every season 
. And don't even get me started on how Rachel's character came out of nowhere and stole the show... kinda like how Mila Kunis was the star of that one episode of Friends I used to binge-watch 
. Let's hope future seasons bring some real changes to the game! 
. And what's up with some contestants acting like they're on a CBeebies show or something 
? Give me a break, dude! 
. On the other hand, James sounds like a total weirdo 
... but also kind of interesting? So yeah, I guess the finale was pretty cool 
. Maybe future seasons will be better? probably not though? 
! Maybe next time we'll get some real drama and suspense that doesn't feel so predictable 
.
I mean, we barely got any insight into the contestants' backstories or motivations – it makes it hard to actually care about who wins or loses. And don't even get me started on the challenges 
Fingers crossed future seasons get their act together and we see some real character growth and twisty challenges 
her untrustworthiness is on 10 and she's got everyone convinced she's a traitor
