1883 rewatches and it’s still a brilliant watch

Celebrity Traitors what a brilliant ending, I won’t spoil it but the last bit was great TV.

Watched the first 30 mins thought it was crap

Thought it might be another Mr Bates vs the post office. Gave up after 2 episodes. Utter wank.

Another Mr Bates v PO was my initial thought and the scandal was a story worth telling, hence my disappointment.

And to me it emphasised why it's much better and more watchable than the 'normal' version; the fact that they are playing for charities makes it a completely different type of show. The standard version is imo pretty unpleasant viewing, whilst this has been highly entertaining,

I also thoroughly enjoyed it but didn't think the final episode had quite the tension and sense of anticipation that the civilian version has. I think they were basically all happy to just reach the final and weren't really that arsed who actually won. There's no way that the End Game would have played out the way it did if they were desperate to win like the public are.

Great entertainment nonetheless though.

Never watched it before and barring a few moments that made me want to switch it off in frustration, i really enjoyed it. I do think cause it was for charity and the money wasn't for personal gain, it made it really laid back and good to watch. Not sure i'd be able to stomach it with non celebs and that snideyness i imagine it would be.

I was so pissed off when they voted Joe off. He had it spot on and can't believe those two turned on him last minute. Made for great drama though.

That bit in your spoiler was a WTF moment in our house, it actually made the whole series for me, I agree it’s much more enjoyable than the normal one as that shows the horrible side of people wanting cash and they’ll do anything for it, this was more lighthearted.

If you enjoy Gritty British drama’s try Mudtown on alibi.
Set in Newport, it’s a crime drama but the emphasis is not on the Police.
Talking of Police Imho I thought Blue Lights S3 took an age to get going and they’ve effectively relegated Martin McCann to the subs bench.

I'm sure you're right about the way the endgame played out but that's why I liked it. The fact that there was no 'real life' scumbag behaviour made it an enjoyable watch and felt a bit less reality TV for me; I suspect I'll stick to the celebrity version assuming they can pick some good ones, though it seems the viewing figures were such that they should find that fairly easy at least for a couple of series.
