ITV's new gameshow Nobody's Fool has been met with criticism from viewers who accuse it of being a copycat of the BBC's hit series The Traitors. Hosted by Danny Dyer and Emily Atack, the show features ten strangers competing for a £100,000 prize pot, but the focus is on perception rather than knowledge.
In the quiz, contestants answer general knowledge questions privately, with correct answers adding to the prize fund. They can then choose to lie or tell the truth about their performance. The eviction task requires players to identify who contributed the least, based solely on their impressions of others.
Viewers took to social media to voice their complaints. One wrote: 'So this #nobodysfool is 100% a rip off of #Thetraitors.' Another said: 'Budget version of The Traitors #NobodysFool.' A third added: '#NobodysFool so this is another traitors/fortune hotel rip off.'
Some viewers switched off within minutes. One commented: 'Nope 2 minutes in and off #nobodysfool.' Another said: 'Nodding off already. Surely not another itv flop.'
However, not all reactions were negative. One viewer said: 'I'm liking #NobodysFool so far not a bad opening.' Another added: '#NobodysFool seems okay at the moment.' A third offered a measured critique: 'Too many shows these days are trying too hard to replicate The Traitors - and failing miserably. #NobodysFool however is decent so far and already a lot better than #TheNeighbourhood.'
