Reply to comment by stoopidperson in The Traitors on BBC in the UK is the best reality game show in the last 10 years by Bettalad

I only watched the first episode of the Traitors, but I found the concept of it frustraiting when comparing it to The Mole.

In The Mole, at the end of the game the Mole gets nothing; so it makes sense that they would sabotage missions in order to bring down the prize pot.

Whereas in The Traitors, if a traitor can stay undetected and get to the end (I assume) they would win the prize pot; therefore they WOULDN'T want to sabotage missions. Traitors will vote to "kill off" "the faithful" (non-traitors) each night; making the game, in my opinion, really inbalanced.

It’s balanced as every night the faithfuls banish someone! It gets good from episode 3, there’s some twists about missions including immunity later on that make it more interesting and also the missions can be more personality based too! Also it might be in the traitors interest to turn on each other to get more money!

I don’t know why so many people are fixated on the idea that there needs to be sabotage. This is NOT ‘The Mole.’ It’s a different show with a different format.
