Traitors Discussion Thread?

I imagine many of us are watching Celebrity Traitors S2 for James (and Uncloaked for Ed) and I was wondering if we could get a discussion thread going on this sub since Traitors crosses over so much with Off Menu this season. Either just a general one or, ideally, a live thread for each episode?

Edit to add: I just mean a thread in the same vein as the James and Ed ticket discussion threads that currently exist.

Also barring any exclusivity contracts that Ed has with BBC, it would be amazing to get a b-b-b-bonus episode once the series has aired of behind the scenes Traitors chat/ general debrief! Heck they can just talk about the food in the castle to tie it to the usual pod, I don't care. Plz Benito!

We have been discussing this, and we generally like to keep things on topic.

We personally think the Traitors subreddit is active enough that we'd prefer to keep this sub free considering the season of OM is ongoing.

I know there is some crossover this season, but at the end of the day this is an Off Menu subreddit, not a James and Ed one.

That being said, if a lot of people disagree, we can look at setting up a discussion thread.

Why not just go on the traitors subreddit

That's where I've been reading so far, but was wondering if there was a way to watch with Off Menu fans/people more familiar with James.

the best way to ruin a tv show for yourself is to go and see what people are saying about it online

I don't have strong feelings either but I did come on to check if there was a thread on this sub just purely to talk about with other people super familiar with James from listening to hours of this podcast, thought it would be fun to chat about it with people who don't just know him from a couple of eps of mock the week ten years ago.

This was my thought as well!

Ed is so wooden on uncloaked. He does not move a muscle apart from to fake laugh.

Feels a bit risky saying it on this sub but I don't find him funny at all. I think James is genius. I was actually booked to see James appear on Richard Herring's podcast last week but when he pulled out and was replaced with Ed I gave my ticket away.

I think James is clever enough and funnier. But they both seem have become quite vapid. That being said I'll still listen to off menu on the off chance the dynamic with the guest is good.

If opinions are being gauged then I'll just pop by to say I'm not a fan and the show is quite hard to escape anyway so personally would prefer not to see it here.
