Celebrity Traitors returned for more murders, a banishment and a recruitment, but some viewers were left unimpressed, with many taking to X to issue the same complaint just minutes into the programme.
During Thursday night's show, a face-to-face murder saw comedian Rob Beckett meet his fate, while at the round table, mathematician Hannah Fry was banished as her fellow traitors, Maya Jama and James Acaster, voted for her to be sent packing along with the faithfuls.
Viewers share their frustration
Despite the deceit and dirty tricks, some viewers expressed disappointment. One wrote: "This series of Celebrity traitors is so boring, I’m devastated." Another remarked: "Same. It had such promise too as the cast was brilliant to start with."
A third complained: "I hate to say it but I’m finding #CelebrityTraitors a bit boring." A fourth commented: "This series of #CelebrityTraitors just isn’t hitting. We have Traitors who openly hate being Traitors, won’t make decisions, not working together and you don’t see them really having each others back - apart from @MayaJama - if they were all like her, it would be so different."
A fifth remarked: "I became bored of #CelebrityTraitors last night I turned over. I’ve watched every UK series so far but it was rather dull."
Recruitment decision sparks criticism
After Rob Beckett was murdered and Hannah was banished, fans were left frustrated when the two remaining traitors opted to recruit faithful King Kenny. One viewer tweeted: "Why didn't Maya and James not even consider a murder? Getting rid of Miranda or Bash would've been the play for me #CelebrityTraitors."
Another penned: "I thought the murder was poor compared to previous face to face ones. There was no drama at all. It all felt flat to me #CelebrityTraitors." A third mused: "#Celebritytraitors too many recruitments its boring too many traitors this year."
While a fourth added: "Sorry but James Acaster is the most boring Traitor in the history of the show #CelebrityTraitors."
Some viewers still thrilled
It was not all bad news, as other viewers admitted they are thrilled with the twists and turns so far in the series. One delighted viewer gushed: "Absolutely loving it #Celebrity Traitors." Another added: "Things are hotting up."
Celebrity Traitors returns tonight on BBC One at 8pm.
