In the late nineties ABC debuted a show called The Mole involving contestants attempting to find out who The Mole was by solving the clues before disappearing week by week. Fast forward to 2024 and NBC has done one better by importing a Scottish series called Traitors with Alan Cummings in this Clue meets The Mole with a bit of Big Brother by way of a late Vincent Price movie type plot. Alan Cummings hosts various contestants from different international versions of American shows, sports stars and one former UK Parlimentry Politician....You didn't misread that part. There is a former UK Parlimentary Politician competing on the show. The setting is, of course, a Scottish castle and Scottish drummers greet the contestasnts dressed in medieval sleeveless robes and Alan Cummings greets them dressed as a Scottish Lord of the Castle. He greets them and shows them to the room where they shall meet and he explains the rules of the game. Like all reality shows there are challenges and one involves putting together the shield crest that's in the loch and the winner gets immunity and the medallion showing their immunity. Allan chooses the Traitors and they recruit the team members who they will betray later on. They also wear full robes with hoods and you can bet the scheming and back stabbing already began. I admit I liked Traitors as a guilty pleasure.....I almost never got to see it because I was about to go to sleep but when it came on I changed my mind and never regretted it. Allan Cummings is so much fun as the creepy host and does his best Vincent Price impersonation. If there is one caveat and this is a big one is that NBC didn't broadcast the previous season (s) which is a shame since Allan Cummings mentioned this was a new season. I would loved to see the previous season (s). Still I can't wait to see what happens each week to see who will flush out the Traitors.
