When the third season of BBC's The Traitors premiered earlier this year, fans were excited to see the iconic reality show return.
However, many are now expressing complaints, saying the contestants are too mean. The third season sticks to the same format of the previous seasons, with 22 contestants placed in a Scottish castle, divided into Faithfuls and Traitors.Each night, the Faithful must identify the Traitors and vote them out, while the Traitors secretly eliminate a Faithful player.So far two Traitors have been "banished" from the game, leaving one Traitor, Minah Shannon, left to compete for the £120,000 prize fund.Traitor Armani was voted out by the group earlier in the season, and it took the Faithful seven more episodes to eliminate another Traitor, as Linda was banished last night (January 15).However, viewers are now complaining that the contestants' behaviour has become increasingly mean, especially during the intense round table discussions.One viewer took to X, formally known as twitter, writing: "Why is this cast getting so angry and personal this year?
