Subreddit to discuss the global reality competition franchise The Traitors in: the UK (BBC One), the US (Peacock), New Zealand (Three), Canada (CTV), Australia (Channel 10), and many more countries!
US
I just got into it watching The Traitors US and I’m hooked. Im trying to find a thread ranking all the international season rankings. Anyone who’ve watched them? Are they worthy of watching?

If you’re hooked on the US one you’re going to lose your mind when you watch the UK and AUS versions.
My ranking;
Australia
UK (I’m a Brit and I still think AUS is better)
US.
Highly recommend watching Australian one ASAP. Ruthless!
Loved New Zealand Season 1
I think the UK one is the one I got most emotionally invested in because there’s something about the players that just really clicked with me whereas in other seasons I only liked one or two people.
But, I do think the game play was more fun in both the US and Australian seasons so it depends what you prioritise.
Australia was probably the best strategy to watch, but I got kind of annoyed watching it and UK because they seem to shoehorn recruits in a way that really disrupts/unbalances the gameflow imo. Both still worth checking out though. I've been watching the Dutch season too which is also good but I'm having trouble with it holding my attention, maybe because of the language barrier.
Mind you I binged all three seasons so they're all worth watching imo, but:
UK
US
AUS
The most popular opinion and the one I subscribe to is that the Australian version is by far the best.
I guess that’s the one I’ll be watching next then. Thank you!
shvideos has the best version I've found.
It's also on Peacock
Uk is one is miles better than Aus or US
UK
US
AUS
I did watch them in that order though which might be a factor. The Australia one had the most competent players which made it the best watch from a gameplay perspective, but I think the others had more entertaining casts and more dramatic moments.
Australia and UK are both good. Uk is set in the Scottish castle and has the same challenges so maybe break it up and watch Australia first, then UK. I want to watch the Danish one too.
Do the other international ones have English subtitles?
some of the non English versions do
The Netherlands Halloween version
Australia was by far the best for me.
Aus 1
NZ 1
US 1 / UK 1 (these are tied for me. Same location, same challenges made them a bit repetitive to each other)
Aus 2
I’m British so potentially biased but the UK version for me is the superior version.
The way it’s edited is key, as is the fact it doesn’t have ‘celebrities’. Real people who want to win because it will have real world impact on their lives. Less inflated/exaggerated egos.
UK (2)
UK (1)
Aus (1)
US (1)
Aus (2)
I’ve just started Canada (1) and that is shaping up well. It won’t have to do much to beat out Aus (2) which was far and away the weakest season I’ve watched… mainly because everyone was HOPELESS at playing the game.
Looking forward to US (2) when we get it here too.
This is the correct order
Thanks for this. I JUST finished season 1 UK. Then followed up with the radio interview with the host of the show and the 5 finalist. How could (blank) be in the same room with (blank) after (blank) tried to (blank) (blank).
Not sure you got that but don’t know how censor on Reddit. Your comment is great cause it’s so hard to look online for these shows without spoilers.
Now that you are probably done with Canada 1, how’s it rank? I’m thinking about going with US or AUS next but think AUS to change the games and setting.
Loved New Zealand
UK season 1
Aus season 1
US season 1
US season 2
imo
Out of all the ones I’ve watched, I would say the following:
UK S2
AUS S1
UK S1
AUS S2
US S1
Though I would say it’s pretty close between the top 3 and my ranking may change depending on my mood.
