    I think adding the immunity shields to the tasks might be new, but the tasks do just seem like filler to me.

    The wolves need to start accusing each other publicly a little more.

    I am not arsed about the tasks though the idea of putting shields available at expense of the task is interesting given some of the absolute melts who beeline for them, pissing everyone else off.

    That Kyra especially is a fucking hideous creature. I wouldn't want to upset Kiko and suggest there's some sort of cultural/generational trauma explanation that goes towards creating such people but she really doesn't help break down racial caricatures.

    Keep the thread updated if Charlotte nudes are made available though

    That Diane is a right gilf/guilty pleasure. No idea if it’s the accent or the coldness of her persona.

    I watched episode 1 of this (series 2 that is) the other day having not seen any series 1. Was this an American TV show first because the pacing of it feels that way. 80% explaining what's happening later and reiterating what just happened and about 20% of actual stuff but not sure if that's just because it's the first episode of a new series. I'll give it at least another couple and see how I get on.

    I'm pretty sure it was a UK original, and has been exported since. Isn't it just boring werewolf for retards where you already know everything?

    The American one was unwatchable because my fellow Carnoustie High representative in Alan Cummings was fucking dreadful. At least you can sort of ignore the tango lady

    Yeah I actually wondered if they were gonna have bits where they told you to look away so you could avoid knowing who the wolves are if you want but clearly the show, as the title might suggest I guess, is really about them.

    If episode 2 sees it going the way TTH Werewolf does where you get insta-gibbed if you make the mistake of trying to actually play the game then we'll see what happens.

    The mechanics of the show are really good, it's just ruined by producers who make it far too accessible. The stupid should not be welcomed into the televisual fold.

    The stupid rule, the same way they are complaining about the new series of Jeopardy! Having actually hard questions.

    Tonight's episode ramped up somewhat.

    Episode 3 was top class. The Dianne/Ross banter and Zack's reaction at Brian's meltdown

    Aye, Eps 1 & 2 were a bit of a snooze, but this one was a banger. Brian’s meltdown was the most TTH Werewolf thing I’ve seen on it to date.

    That is where the tasks actually worked this time, when he was unanimously voted a sheep by the rest of the group in the task his brain broke.

    Up to date now, what the hell happened to Brian? Agreed with Merse, genuinely reminiscent of TTH Werewolf.

    I thought the Army wolf was a retard at the start, but I think he's playing it well so far. He could go far.

    I think everyone thinking you are a retard can help, even more so if you are one. Last season the thickest player won because everyone knew they weren't a threat.

    Big fan of them ending last night's episode on a cliffhanger for a thing we already know.

    It really did, as evidenced by him saying I think 430 times that he wasn't taking it personally.

    "Oh yeah? Well would a sheep do THIS?"

    Ash voluntarily going into the dungeon yesterday was probably the most retarded tactical move I've seen on the show so far.

    The other half has started watching Series 1.

    It’s only on repeat viewing of the first couple of eps that I’ve appreciated how much less of an annoying bunch this are (fantastically free of fucking magicians and influencers) and also how much better this bunch (mainly the wolves) are at the game, presumably simply by dint of having watched series 1 themselves.

    Yeah, it's a good bunch, not one detestable figure left (Jasmine being the closest). Paul is too hot to last the course but the other boys are doing decent.

    Having been subjected to a few nights of this I feel it would be better if you didn't know who the wolves were. Obviously it's all editing, and they have stupid things like that chalice business, but it would be more interesting if it wasn't just getting annoyed at jump cut mongs.

    Fucking staggered he survived that prisoner stunt. Deserved to go for the arrogance.

    Harry’s stepped the fuck up, mind. Right cunning lil’ rascal - definitely not the idiot I assumed he’d be.

    Very much so, but I guess it would just be too much for those viewers with no idea of the concept of social deduction games. I’m guessing they did a hell of a lot of proof of concept prior to series 1 at least.

    Yeah this season seems much better than the first one already. Feels like there's a lot less (still plenty, mind) names being randomly chucked about because nobody has the faintest clue.

    Great episode but harsh on Miles to play out the poisoning like that.

    Just when you think Harry is doing bits, he goes and convinces Paul to recruit.

    Recruiting anyone is daft when they get in the chamber and realise these two have stitched the last two traitors up.

    Getting a traitor banished and then recruiting another is just so dumb. At best it's 8 vs 3 or potentially 9 vs 2 if they reject, which seems quite possible. Banish and murder a faithful and it's guaranteed 7 vs 3.

    These lot are thick too, they keep crying about how the traitors are offing all the strong faithfuls but never question how their defacto leader and Traitor hunter extrordinaire Paul emerges each morning unscathed.

    Yeah Paul regularly escaping scrutiny other than one or two people at a time because he's mates with everyone is impressively dim.

    There's literally not a compelling reason you'd keep him alive if he was a goodie and get nobody's prepared to discuss that or even ask the question properly.

    It should have been clear as day after they were forced to kill Meg. She was next in line to get voted out but the traitors have decided to kill her over Paul? Alright.

    The few that have clocked on don’t appear to be strong enough personalities to really turn the tide against Paul.

    I am not sure I’ll be able to handle it if Ross is recruited today and then starts banging on about what a great game Paul is playing because he didn’t suspect him at all.

    Ideally Ross is recruited but doesn't mention Diane was his mum and starts trying to fuck the other two over, could be quite fun.

    Jaz seems to be the only one capable of critical thinking.

    Harry running off to Paul and telling him about the private conversation he had with Jaz should be enough to incriminate them both. He just needs to start stirring the shit and pounce before the traitors knife him.

    I thought Jaz seemed sharp until he threw the rose in the bird's coffin who was the correct answer to the question they got wrong (by selecting Diane) and then voting Andrew at the roundtable

    I could be giving Jaz too much credit but it seems like he knows who is who but doesn't want them thinking he's on to them so is playing dumb until there's a point other people might be pointing the finger as well.

    Do they usually do the recruiting thing? Feels like it could be made more fun, like the originals not knowing whether the new one has accepted or not [assuming you can refuse and not die].

    Yes they did recruit last series.

    I think playing as a lone traitor is probably the best if you are in Harry's position where they all think you're legit. Just play the game as a headless chicken like the rest of them.

    Literally every traitor killed in this game was caught because the traitors turned on them, without that I doubt they'd have one.

    Harry's let the power and acclaim get to his head. It's seeing things like that that make this such a great show.

    I'd agree with Lofty, you're getting very little help from traitors until maybe the real final rounds so just chance it and go it alone, especially if you have the charm of a Harry. The Frankenstein, not so much.

    Presumably the traitors dont want to split the money too many ways which is why they keep offing each other.

    You always have the option of recruiting when there's two traitors left I think.

    It does feel like it's pretty hard for the faithful to win at this stage though yeah.

    I'm glad Paul is out, the smug cunt.

    I'm sure they're goaded into it to some extent by the production crew but I just fucking hate when normos get on TV, do something moderately competent and think they're hot shit.

    "Well, I've outwitted some actual idiots twice now which has really made me realise I'm humanity's greatest hero, all my dreams will come true, history will remember my deeds and I'm never gonna die."

    Fuck off you ginger twat.

    Harry's speedily taken over from Paul in that regard, he's gone from 90s boy band scamp to king stink but he's surrounded himself with traitors who listen to him boast of offing both traitors and their mothers. Hoist with his own petard before the last episode, surely.

    Yeah Harry has become nearly as smug as Paul. And seems to think Andrew is totally oblivious to what he's likely to be up to.

    All set up for the meat head to win with ease after they only recruited him to be the fall guy lol.

    Harry has been good but him admitting he happily killed off 3 other Traitors was a bit dumb
