The Celebrity Traitors UK : 2025

The show is back and this time with celebrities from the UK. I know some of them but not others. Living in NZ we get UK TV shows so I only know those that might appear on them. That doesn't matter as we soon get to know them all. 

I've seen four episodes so far. Don't worry, if you haven't seen the show yet I won't let out any spoilers. In NZ, it is featured on TV3, twice a week and 12 hours after the UK viewing. I find it an interesting show and I'll explain why. 

Picking liars. Most people think they are good at that but a convincing liar is hard to pick unless they put their foot in it. Even then, some are good at putting it right.

Catching traitors. It is frustrating not to catch them but even if they are exposed, another is recruited. The main thing is they don't win. 

The daily challenges. They are good at team building but some of the team will soon be plotting to remove a faithful member of the team. I couldn't be a traitor.

Historical comparison. The first traitor ever got the first woman to believe him and used that trust against her best interest and by extension that of the whole human family. That original traitor also became the first liar and the father of the lie. Lying is an essential tool of a traitor, if they wish to succeed. 

Lesson: Appearances can be deceptive. We should never overestimate our ability to detect a lie. In The Traitors it is hard to gather the information necessary to detect the deceiver. 

In life generally, when it comes to information we receive, accurate knowledge of a subject can be a protection. It can expose those wishing to trick us or who are twisting the truth. If in doubt, be careful and try to get accurate information before believing anything. Beware of those who are traitors to the truth.
