Would you be a traitor or a faithful

What a TV show. I hadn't watched the #Traitors before until watching the Celebrity Traitors and I am hooked and sad that it is over. I really hope it is not going too be long wait for the next one. I even dreamt that I was in the show and I was a Traitor, but I was being sussed out and I really thinks I'd be no good. I am not good at staying quiet and want to tell people. 


I can see why other TV channels have tried their own type of show like the Fortune Hotel, The Genius Game, but the Traitors is a different type of show and see why it has become a hit in peoples choice of TV. 

The fact that Australia and other countries have also followed and doing the traitors. It is amazing how someone's mind can be clever and invent something that has become a success. I imagine it took some filming and writing. 

I remember when the X Factor first came on our screens, but wasn't so successful in America, but then came The Voice, which began to be on BBC first, to then move over to ITV and then there is BGT, Masterchief and Strictly come Dancing, along with Dancing with the stars (the American version) and I wonder if Strictly will still be a success now Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman have gone?

I think it depends on the audience and how TV catches your attention.   

When I was a kid it was full of shows. I loved Cannon and Ball Show, Little and Large and The Comedians and sitcoms like Only Fools and Horses, which was going to be scraped. Now it is a household favourite and then came French and Saunders and Family Fortunes.  

Yet some of the shows never crossed the river, but I think it was because US had a different sense of humour to us Brits, so I thought, but then didn't realise that they had, but they did their own interpretation and I loved the American Comedy shows. I still watch Cheers, Friends, Taxi and Will and Grace. 

I have seen shows recorded that haven't lasted, like there was one could The Big Big Talent Show hosted by Bradley Walsh and Every Second Counts with Paul Daniels and some I can't remember, but I think it is about what captures the mind of people, at that moment.

They have bought back shows like Blankety Blank and Catchphrase which my son loves, The Gladiators and in the week is full of quiz shows. Is the TV world changing? I am not a fan of shows like Big Brother or Reality shows. I was watching TOWIE for a bit, during my pregnancy of my son, as it took my mind off my indigestion.

I think there will be changes to what we consume in terms of TV and feel that it is good for writers to watch for inspiration and what is grabbing us viewers attention. So would you be a traitor or a faithful? Please share in the comments below. 

Many thanks for reading,
