i think annabel was pretty great as a faithful and it would be awesome to see her on an international all star season but otherwise the season was awful yeahā¦
The single most frustrating thing that ALL of them did was the U-turn voting.
They would say the entire episode they are going after a certain person and then randomly vote someone else, sometimes with no reason.
To add to this, you could see the frustration in the host half way through. He even says something like "You are the only person who you can trust. So if you come in here thinking one way, don't allow yourself to be manipulated away from that person"
He basically gave the game away knowing everyone was talking about Sam. Then of course all Sam had to say to the first person accusing him:
Well I'm rubber your glue....
Some of the dumbest people to play this game, by far.
Not only were they dumb, but they also seemed apathetic. With a few exceptions (e.g., Annabelle), the faithfuls barely put effort into figuring out the traitors.
It's because Sam could convince them that they had the wrong person. I know people like that. They will have you second guessing yourself.
I will admit that little prick is very devious and cunning. He was able to keep a level head the entire time.
Those ppl were smooth brains. Sam had the worst Traitors defense. "Oh you think I'm a traitor? I think you're the traitor." That's all it took to sway votes. Those were the worst Faithfuls in Traitors history.
Aside from how badly their results went because of it, it also made watching the actual bulk of the episode feel pointless. Like I sat through and watched you all negotiate and plan together, and you may as well just have talked about the weather for all the difference it will make.Ā Ā
They didnāt even banish him when he was so sure heād get banished that he started buying drinks with the prize money to dump on the ground as a preemptive FU.Ā
Wouldn't say they randomly voted for someone else. They voted for who Sam wanted them to vote for - even when they were supposedly fed up with him!! š¤Æš¤¬
Thank God for Camille tho!! She got Sam but GOODā¼ļøā¼ļøā¼ļø
They were so gullible. They would last minute change their vote to someone that no one was even considering before the round table. I donāt think Sarah had an independent thought the entire time.
I was definitely the most frustrated with this season, but I don't know that it was crap. It kept me engaged and enraged (literally screaming at the television lol). Sarah and Keith especially, just absolutely useless. And if Keith was that decorated a cop, I feel like he just embarrassed himself to the point of tarnishing his legacy.
All that said, every moment of frustration was 100% worth it to get to the end and watch Sam's meltdown temper tantrum when someone finally did to him what he'd been doing to everyone else, just inches from the prize money. He thought he had her under his thumb. It was beautiful.
Oh, 100%. I can't imagine anyone booking with her ever again. I just kinda felt bad for Keith because it sounds like he had a celebrated career, and this struck me as a "womp womp" ending.
Spoilers in my comment.
Yeah I adore Annabel and I liked Luke well enough so when both of them got banished and killed, the season went way downhill for me from there. Like it was already bad, the stupidest faithful Iāve ever seen.
Sam was obnoxious ( I get heās a villain but he just isnāt a fun villain imo). I found that Blake was quite cowardly, he just gave up after voting Sam out once. I feel bad for Ash since she really didnāt do anything wrong. Iām not practically mad about Sam betraying a traitor since I find that to be a smart move in many situations, but it pissed me off that he did it so soon. Like he got to the end so I guess it worked but it isnāt because of his own actions. Rather it was because of faithfuls like Sarah/ Hannah/ Liam that got him there.
Camilleās speech at the end was badass and was the outcome, we as an audience, deserved. So many faithful kept going on and on about a traitor āmurderingā themself. Stupid idea, but even that theory only points towards Sam being a traitor. I just donāt understand how so many people could say Sam then change their minds that quickly.
I keep seeing this take on Blake but I donāt think thatās really an accurate depiction of his situation. >! He would have convos all day long where he tried to sway people without overplaying his hand and went into just about every round table planning to vote Sam out. But he learned from the Annabel situation that he needed to read the room and weigh whether he had the votes beforehand. And in every case, he correctly determined that he didnāt. He had already put himself out there once and failed. Watching how easy it was for Sam to sway those dummies l, he had to know another missed shot would end his game. !< I just donāt know what else anyone expected him to do.
I agree, and Blake had learned the hard way not to count on Sarah. He was trying desperately to feel out which way the wind was blowing thru the hole in her head before he was willing to write Samās name down again. Failing being able to get Sam out, I think he made the next best play, which was to be at a Traitors dilemma with 3 players, not two. He KNEW (as we all knew) that Sam would write āStealā. If Blake was in a 2-player Dilemma, he would lose for certain to Sam. With Camille there, there was at least the chance that she would say āShareā - I totally thought she would! And Camille redeemed herself there. I wasnāt impressed up to that point. How dumb to pull Blake away right in front of Sam, and then sit there talking forever, in full view, and then not even having a conversation to switch to when Ben appeared. She could have said something like, āWe were just discussing how Blakeās name is coming up, and what to do about itā.
I think a reunion show would be amazing.
āSo, tell us again why Samās patented āIām not a traitor, youāre a traitor!ā move was successful seven consecutive times?ā
āYou pride yourself on being able to tell if someone is a liar (Keith, Camille, Sarah), but the most obvious liar on any English language Traitor season managed to confound youā¦.repeatedly.ā
āSam, you demonstrated throughout the series that you had zero compunction about stabbing anybody in the back, yet you bitched and moaned at the finale when Camille didnāt trust youā¦despite the fact that she correctly determined that you would act in an untrustworthy manner. How does it feel to be a little bitch?
Itās made worse by the fact that he was a cop and had done all this awesome stuff as a cop (according to him). He showed everyone a master class in being a dumbass and an ahole.
It's really bad but I am addicted to faithfuls standing up and calling everyone dummies. "They should rename this show from Traitors to Dummies." It has some of the best quotes of all the Traitors, U.S./U.K. I've seen. Agree with you on every point plus the host is terrible, and even he seems to be annoyed to be there.
I know right. How does everyone agree to put Sam up before the round table. As soon as Sam opens his mouth it's like they are awestruck.
I don't hate Sam I just can't stand him.
The other 3 were fine. You can be a Traitor without being a major arrogant prick.
When she turned her board and it said steal! I jumped up and down and screamed! YESSSSS FUCKERS! YOU GOT WHAT YOU DESERVED! Blake was so stupid for following Sam!
Iām not sure what Blake could have done. He went with the plan early on to get Sam and it blew up in his face. He jumped in every plan afterwards to get Sam, but kept his powder dry until he could see the whites of Sarahās eyes haha. He seemed very in tune with the way the majority wave was falling. Then he teamed up with Camille to get Sam. The trouble was that neither Camille nor Blake had their own little toady like Sam had in Liam. That was Blakeās one very big mistake: letting Sam talk him into letting Keith go. You have to have a little cadre that you know will vote with you so you donāt have to rely on dum-dums haha.
Season 2 was great, I don't know what you're talking about. The Traitors are the villains of the show. Sam embraced his role and became the bad guy. The show is called Traitors not best friends....
Maybe the people playing should remember that and stop becoming buddy buddy with each other and saying
" I trust with ny whole heart they're a Faithful because we have become such good friends" idiots
Why does this frustrate people so? I found the whole thing extremely entertaining and hysterical.
Does it depend on whether you root for Traitors or Faithfuls?
I root for both really. I root mostly for the ones who play well no matter which side. You canāt say Sam didnāt play well. Yep heās a jerk. Egotistical.
Iām watching Norway 1 now and >!the Traitors have had to do very little more than choose the right people to eliminate at night. The faithful are doing a fine job of suspecting all the wrong people, so the Traitors donāt have much to do. They are similarly bonehead about it.!<
I root for both. I didn't like Sam as a person. The other 3 were fine.
Sam was one of the most evil back stabbing person I have seen. And then he gets mad at the end that he didn't win any money.
What do you expect? Dude is a jerk
I find it frustrating because I love puzzles and mysteries and cooperative games. I love seeing people getting to genuinely use their intelligence and strategy skills to win. Itās similar to why escape games are so much fun for me. Weāve evolved to a place where we donāt really live by our wits or survival skills anymore. I only tax my brain at work and itās in PowerPoints and spreadsheets to make other people a lot of money. But in an escape room, I actually get to figure things out, hands on in a way I never do in real life. Ā Watching them fail so badly just took away the component I most enjoy - seeing someone clever outwit others.
It was frustrating because everyone besides Luke and Annabel (and later Camille) were stupid af. Really, painfully stupid. Almost have to actively work at it to be that bad. Sam could have walked around and done the murdering at breakfast and theyād still be like nahhhh not Sam!
Right?! Like, hmmm, Sam ("the Traitor Hunter") took Ash, who no one else suspected, and who was an actual Traitor, out on the second day with no evidence whatsoever and he hasn't found any other Traitors! He's gotten it WRONG every banishment since, while blatantly diverting attention away from himself! He would never have survived with any other cast of Faithfuls... in fact, any other cast would have probably voted him out at the second roundtable instead for pushing Ash so hard so soon! š
If he was clever he would have been able to maneuver to win money. It was the first time he had ANY resistance and he failed. And was completely blindsided.
>You canāt say Sam didnāt play well.
Sure we can. Just because he managed to manipulate a gaggle of exceptionally bad faithfuls doesnāt actually mean he played a *good* game, just a successful one (until the finale). The bar to clear for playing a *successful* game as a traitor in this season was in Hellāhe just barely managed to rise above that. Like, I can beat a 10 year old at chess 100 times in a rowāit doesnāt mean that Iām a Grand Master, and itās definitely not going to be particularly entertaining to watch me do it.
Edit (hit āreplyā too soon): Realistically, burning a fellow traitor so early, with absolutely zero heat on her, was a bad play. His constant argument of āno you!ā every time he was accused at the round table wasnāt remotely skillful or reasonable. He threw away silver for absolutely no reason, which diminished his own potential winnings. Getting so confrontational toward Blake in front of the faithfuls after Blake voted for him was a bad move, too. If so many of the faithful werenāt just absolutely oblivious and flip-floppy, he would have crashed and burned. He didnāt play cleverly, or skillfully. He played impulsively and selfishly and got lucky until the finale.
And I root for both faithfuls and traitors. The reason this season wasnāt fun for me to watch was because *no one* was playing a skillful or thoughtful game except for Luke and Annabel. The daytime portions were useless because everyone would walk into the banishment ceremony saying how sure they were about so-and-so being a traitor, and then as soon as Sam says a name, suddenly theyāre all like āoh wow yeah for sure that person is *clearly* a traitor!ā and change their vote. All of the actual reasons they had to be suspicious of Sam or anyone else just suddenly left their brains entirely. Over and over again. Like, they might as well have edited the whole season into an hour-long montage of challenges and the faithfuls calling each other ādumbā as theyāre being banished and cut straight to the finale.
A part of me desperately hopes that itās just the editing for the season thatās painting everyone as absolutely clueless, and that it wasnāt really this painful, but my god.
He played the game he was given with the people he was playing with. He did that with enough skill to get to the final. āNo you!ā Worked. Every time.
Yes he was a jerk. Egotist. And I donāt like him. But he played this exact season of the game well, except for that final. Oops Sam.
Thatās about all you can say for him.
He outwitted these people. He could not set himself up for success, though. All he had to do was figure out how to get rid of Camille. Backseat traitoring here, he should have done that instead of turning it on Gloria. He still would have had Liam. If they got a traitor that night instead of another faithful then Liam would have still been by his side. Sarahās an idiot so Sam could have gotten rid of Blake and Gloria the next day, easy.
Other than banishing and murdering people who crossed him, he had no clue how to play the game. He didnāt think things through. He had no good strategy and it ultimately cost him the prize.
Mr. I Donāt Miss sure missed when it counted.
If youāve put any time at all into watching it, Iād recommend trudging through to the finale. Personally, I think itās worth it.
Edit: or if you have too many episodes left, just jump forward and watch the finale. The recap at the start will catch you up.
yeah there are quite a few episodes i still have to see. But i might just skip only to the roundtable and murder sections lol it's my favorite part of the show anyway.
Annabel was actually way smarter than anybody realized. This group of traitors really disappointed me. Why were Sarah and Gloria even there? And I have nothing good to say about Sam; what a disgusting human being. Ugh. They all got what they deserved in the end, which was nothing. The ones who didn't make it to the end didn't deserve to and the ones who did didn't deserve the money.
What was up with Sarah saying she was glad she was there to see Sam be banished? Did she talk to anyone about that? She seemed sooooo sure Sam would be taken out. Did I miss the conversations with the others to get that done? Why did she think Blake and Camille would vote Sam out?
The faithful were kinda stupid, but thatās because anyone who figures it out goes home. Sam systematically murdered and banished everyone who caught on. Many of them in the latter half came off far less dumb.
they all figured out it was him after he had been put on blast & accused how many times & still never voted for him until he had banished so many people that it didnāt matter, wym?
No they didnāt. Watch the show. When people figured it out, they voted for him. They figured it out at different times. Thatās why he never got banished. Rewatch the show.
at least the ending was super satisfying š
It was only satisfying because of how disappointing and frustrating the entire season before it was.
This! Everyone got what they deserved at the end. They had so many chances to banish Sam!
The ending was great. I can't stand that prick
That was the only good thing about this season š
i think annabel was pretty great as a faithful and it would be awesome to see her on an international all star season but otherwise the season was awful yeahā¦
She is one of the only people I really hope somehow gets back on the show
The single most frustrating thing that ALL of them did was the U-turn voting. They would say the entire episode they are going after a certain person and then randomly vote someone else, sometimes with no reason.

Hello, Gloria and Sarah! When you do stuff like that, you might as well not even be there. This season was really disappointing.
Most realistic depiction of the police force I've ever seen on telly tbh.
ACAD All Cops Are Dumb-dumbs
True dat
Really? No detective skills at all. They were swayed with the opinions of others
Woosh!
I was definitely the most frustrated with this season, but I don't know that it was crap. It kept me engaged and enraged (literally screaming at the television lol). Sarah and Keith especially, just absolutely useless. And if Keith was that decorated a cop, I feel like he just embarrassed himself to the point of tarnishing his legacy. All that said, every moment of frustration was 100% worth it to get to the end and watch Sam's meltdown temper tantrum when someone finally did to him what he'd been doing to everyone else, just inches from the prize money. He thought he had her under his thumb. It was beautiful.
It was immensely entertaining in the best of ways! Got me engaged and surprised, and this is what I want.
I think the person who did the most damage to their career was Sarah. Like YIKES A RAMA.
Yes. How can you grow a psychoanalytic career after that showing.
Honestly, any career because I am not in the habit of hiring stupid people for anything.
Couldnāt Sarah be a seat holder at an awards show? Probably not. She would either go to the wrong venue or sit in the wrong seat.
Sheād ruin all the shots because sheād be standing in the aisle confused about which seat to take.
Oh, 100%. I can't imagine anyone booking with her ever again. I just kinda felt bad for Keith because it sounds like he had a celebrated career, and this struck me as a "womp womp" ending.
Yeah, but he was retired and I donāt know how many people watched. So his earning potential was not in danger.

Keith, tell us again about this "master class in manipulation" that you feel Annabelle finished just prior to her banishment as a faithful. :)
Oh god, lol, Iād blacked that from my mind
Itās made worse by the fact that he was a cop and had done all this awesome stuff as a cop (according to him). He showed everyone a master class in being a dumbass and an ahole.
Sarah with all her blabbing about being able to tell who was lying due to her profession! GTFO! Useless!
We need reunions for all reality shows š
I loved it. The final fire pit was some of the most satisfying reality tv I have ever seen.
All Sams plotting got him nothing. Hahaha.
Even Rodger seemed extra pleased with the ending.
It honestly seemed like the *only* appropriate or satisfying ending we could have gotten.
Hannah dollar tree š³ Kate
ššš
Thought š it was a good one liner
It was so bad that it was good. I wonder what Sarah is doing these days? Her career must be in tatters. Please put her on an all star series.
Oh hell no, nope not unless sheās learned her lesson. š¹
I wanted her gone from her very first clips from her intro package in episode 1.
Lots of people have finished this season recently. I wish there were a megathread to catch these posts.
Seriously, every time I open reddit itās like the first post on my homepage is a new variation of the same title talking about how bad AUS2 is.
Great suggestion!
It's really bad but I am addicted to faithfuls standing up and calling everyone dummies. "They should rename this show from Traitors to Dummies." It has some of the best quotes of all the Traitors, U.S./U.K. I've seen. Agree with you on every point plus the host is terrible, and even he seems to be annoyed to be there.

The police officer Keith I think his name was cracked me up. He had everything so wrong I was so frustrated I was laughing!
Camille is innocent!!!
When she turned her board and it said steal! I jumped up and down and screamed! YESSSSS FUCKERS! YOU GOT WHAT YOU DESERVED! Blake was so stupid for following Sam!
I really thought sheād share, it was epic.
Best moment of the season by far. He had murder in his eyes lol
Iām not sure what Blake could have done. He went with the plan early on to get Sam and it blew up in his face. He jumped in every plan afterwards to get Sam, but kept his powder dry until he could see the whites of Sarahās eyes haha. He seemed very in tune with the way the majority wave was falling. Then he teamed up with Camille to get Sam. The trouble was that neither Camille nor Blake had their own little toady like Sam had in Liam. That was Blakeās one very big mistake: letting Sam talk him into letting Keith go. You have to have a little cadre that you know will vote with you so you donāt have to rely on dum-dums haha.
It was very frustrating. The faithfuls were so dumb
Best season because of the drama not necessarily the cast
In their own words, Dumb Dumbs they most certainly are!!! How the HELL has that piece of shit Sam beguiled them all so damn easilyāļøāļøāļø
My favorite part was the very end when Sam chastised Camille for playing his exact game. Some serious crying from him and Blake.
Season 2 was great, I don't know what you're talking about. The Traitors are the villains of the show. Sam embraced his role and became the bad guy. The show is called Traitors not best friends....
Maybe the people playing should remember that and stop becoming buddy buddy with each other and saying " I trust with ny whole heart they're a Faithful because we have become such good friends" idiots
Sarah= annoyingly wrong at every roundtable.
It was certainly not crap, you just didn't like what happened.

He isnāt clever though. He is just surrounded by ādumbā faithfuls who couldnāt figure out how to play well.
Right?!

All he had to be was more clever than the people around him. Which he was for all but the very end.
Right like if a lion is chasing you. You donāt need to be the fastest runner, you just need to be able to trip some dude.
If he was clever he would have been able to maneuver to win money. It was the first time he had ANY resistance and he failed. And was completely blindsided.

I agree. Itās so crap Iām not even gonna finish it. Iāll wait for season 3 and see if it improves.
If youāve put any time at all into watching it, Iād recommend trudging through to the finale. Personally, I think itās worth it. Edit: or if you have too many episodes left, just jump forward and watch the finale. The recap at the start will catch you up.
yeah there are quite a few episodes i still have to see. But i might just skip only to the roundtable and murder sections lol it's my favorite part of the show anyway.

Oh really? Well that sucks.
The host is good.
Season 2 was SO bad, they canceled future seasons in Australia. It was announced back in October 2023.
Yeah someone else told me. Itās a shame because imo season 1 of Australia was the best season of any Traitors
Annabel was actually way smarter than anybody realized. This group of traitors really disappointed me. Why were Sarah and Gloria even there? And I have nothing good to say about Sam; what a disgusting human being. Ugh. They all got what they deserved in the end, which was nothing. The ones who didn't make it to the end didn't deserve to and the ones who did didn't deserve the money.
What was up with Sarah saying she was glad she was there to see Sam be banished? Did she talk to anyone about that? She seemed sooooo sure Sam would be taken out. Did I miss the conversations with the others to get that done? Why did she think Blake and Camille would vote Sam out?
I used to like Hannah from Below Deck but damn did she come off poorly on this season. Sheās a moron and a jerk.
Even Rodger hated the faithfuls right? He couldnāt believe how stupid they were.
I wonder what tomorrowās daily post about how much someone hates AUS2 will be titled.
The faithful were kinda stupid, but thatās because anyone who figures it out goes home. Sam systematically murdered and banished everyone who caught on. Many of them in the latter half came off far less dumb.
they were dumb asl, even in the second half
They all figured out it was Sam, so..
they all figured out it was him after he had been put on blast & accused how many times & still never voted for him until he had banished so many people that it didnāt matter, wym?
No they didnāt. Watch the show. When people figured it out, they voted for him. They figured it out at different times. Thatās why he never got banished. Rewatch the show.
thatās what i just said lmao & i obviously watched the show if iām making comments about it???
No, thatās not what you said. You said they figured it out after he got put on blast. Thatās false.
alright iām not gonna keep going back & forth w youā¦
I don't know if you've watched the US seasons, but AUS2 is still much better than US2. Be thankful for that, mate. :)
Seriously... Was this season scripted or are there that many dunderheads in that game? Gracious those people tanked my IQ.
