Summary

While it ’s expected for talking heads to admit quippy one - liners , the conversations among the mold member and perfectly timed look around the corner are hard to push aside . While still one of thebest reality TV shows , yield interference is ruiningThe Traitors US . AfterBig Brother ’s Dan Gheesling ’s outlet , the signs became too hard to disregard .
Survivor ’s Parvati Shallow andReal Housewives of Atlanta ’s Phaedra Parks remained the only two Traitors in the secret plan at the showtime of the episode afterThe Bachelor ’s Peter Weber refused to switch side and was saved from execution in season 2 , episode 7 . However , production hinderance is n’t the only wayThe Traitors UShas become more and more fake . Here ’s why the show is script and wo n’t endure pastThe traitor USseason 3if it does n’t become more true .
The Producers Created A Murder Twist
Perhaps one of the most frustratingly scripted moments come about inThe Traitors USseason 2 , episode 7 when Peter refused Parvati and Phaedra ’s seduction to join the Traitors . This was a poor move on Peter ’s part , as it almost entirely guaranteed his execution the follow evening . Peter himself accredit his at hand death and gathered " Peter ’s chum , " or Sandra Diaz - Twine ’s cognomen for his crew , " The Most close of The Faithful , " to say farewell and implore them to vote out Parvati for the banishment at all cost .
Meanwhile , Sandra gathered " The Leftovers " and voiced her business concern with Peter , giving Parvati a new life-time . Parvati ’s excitement was short - lived , as Alan Cummings reveal there would n’t be a ostracism at the pear-shaped mesa . or else , Shereé Whitfield and Kevin Kreider were capable to start a prophylactic chain and save protester from being murdered . Of course , Peter was saved by British politician John Bercow , thus hold open him from being murdered .
Peter and Parvati’s Conversation Seemed Scripted
Pilot Pete altogether changed his tune after being convinced byThe Challenge ’s Trishelle Cannatella to go after Phaedra before Parvati . Instead of actively campaigning against Parvati , he decided to ally with her . Much to the confusion of instrumentalist outside " Peter ’s Pals , " especiallyThe Challenge ’s CT Tamburello , found Peter ’s sudden change of nub suspicious .
However , Peter ’s conversation with Parvati was one of the show ’s most throw , written substitution yet . The two practically looked like they were reciting memorized line from product and attempting to keep a serious case . While Parvati still got banished , the manufacture conversation was makeweight in an anti - climactic instalment jump to eradicate the formerSurvivorwinner .
John’s Quips Have Gotten Too Stale
As the only non - reality whizz of the bunch , British political leader John make it his missionary station to verbalize like a political leader at every turn . However , his speeches and line have gotten dusty , leading to the thought that his line are script . While he ’s undoubtedly a politician through and through , there ’s no means he would get out some of his quip out of nowhere . In his conversation with Parvati , he almost sounded like an AI - bring forth pol . Teaming up with Parvati in the previous episode was heartwarming , but their discussion in season 2 , episode 8 , was undoubtedly stale .
Phaedra Inviting Kate To The Dungeon Was Fake
Phaedra is a big lawyer with some undoubtedly wild one - liners , but the entire fit with Alan was cringeworthy to keep an eye on . With only one Traitor left , it was expected that Phaedra would get the opportunity to recruit , but her cable about Kate seemed out of place and write by producers . Kate was a in force selection for Phaedra since she lease her side as a Bravo cast member , so that choice was likely entirely Phaedra ’s choice . However , Phaedra ’s reasoning was super scripted .
Scripting this part of the show did n’t make any sense , as Phaedra comes off as effortlessly comedic at the moment without feeding her argumentation . Perhaps the production had a particular vibe they wanted to go for , but the moment ’s anticipation was utterly lost with Phaedra ’s lines . Furthermore , the keep turn was only create to sustain the game . It seems output will discontinue at nothing to make certain Pilot Pete abide in the game .
Kate’s Lines Entering The Dungeon Were Cringe
Kate is a controversial mold member who can always be trusted to deliver laughs . She characteristically gave up early in the group challenge and spoke with her classically monotone timbre . While Phaedra take to pick Kate to join her in the keep , all of her lines on the walk down were super cringe . ask for bubbly as the dungeon door fill up and mewl when her requests were n’t fulfilled , Kate ended the episode on a cringe note . Hopefully , the offset of the next episode will have Kate and Phaedra talking freely , their magnetized personality on display , rather than the stale seam clearly fed to them by producer .
WhileThe double-crosser USis doubtlessly one of the good reality boob tube shows mightily now , production has made the season seem increasingly scripted . Reality telecasting oldtimer like Phaedra , Parvati , Kate , and Peter have been quash to quippy one - ocean liner , and genuine conversation have been reduced to scripted exchanges . All of the realism television whiz on The Traitors US rose to fame because of their abilities to oppose in the moment on TV , not read from a teleprompter .
lover will continue to tune in regardless , butThe Traitors USwould be smart to keep the editing more genuine in the future . The talking heads , conversations , and one - liners are start up to palpate moth-eaten , bastard , and script . Hopefully , the Phaedra and Kate in the donjon twist will cater precisely the excitement the show needs . Peter ’s days are still add up in the theater , even with Parvati out of the picture . Peter might be able-bodied to winThe Traitors US , but Phaedra is still a military force to be reckoned with .
The star sign became too unmanageable to ignore after Big Brother ’s Dan Gheesling ’s exit
