The UK version had a broader coverage of celebrities and all the winnings went to a charity. In that sense, it didn't matter so much who won because the prize would go to a worthy cause.
That said, I'm a 'Faithfuls' supporter, so I always prefer it if they win. However, it became apparent very early on that the 'Traitors' were going to do well.
They were a varied and complimentary mix of personalities. The faithfuls were very good at mistaking their own as traitorous, therefore banishing them.
At one point, I thought the three traitors were going to go the whole way but later on the faithfuls did get one before returning to form and the ill directed carnage continued. When you know the truth, it can be frustrating to watch.
With five remaining, two of the three original traitors were still there. A second traitor was despatched but at this point the departing player cannot reveal their role in the game. So how many were left?
The last traitor and three faithfuls left. One faithful had it sussed and expected to remove the last traitor. He didn't defend himself at the last vote when accused by the last traitor of being such. That failure meant the two other faithful turned on him.
They all voted to end the game and split the winnings for their respective charities. Eh, no. The traitor took the prize pot for his charity as per the rule that any traitor not voted off wins. I was happy the two last faithfuls missed out as I didn't think they simply didn't deserved to win.
PS. I have watched 12 series of The Traitors, the 'Faithfuls' have won five and the 'Traitors' seven. When the faithfuls have won those shows, the average number of winners is nearly three. When the traitor wins, they are nearly always alone.
