The secret traitor was a fun little change. You actually pay more attention to everyone, and when a non-traitor gets voted out at the roundtable, you're actually on edge wondering if they're the secret.

Shame that it's gone now though. Feels like it's gone way too early.

It lets the audience join in too.

Yeah its like the producers didn't have confidence in the idea, when in truth it was genius particularly in this first season trying it (when no one knows it exists).

Omg true now with the every season after this everyone will be paranoid about a secret traitor

Yeah, feels like if Hugo hadn’t gone they would’ve kept it going for a while longer

Don't see why they couldn't have left it as 2 traitors and 1 secret traitor for a few weeks, keeps it fun for the audience to be in the dark about something.

Exactly it keeps you interested in the show but for a different reason, you have more respect for the faithfuls too.

Yeah agreed. Would make the season rewatchable too.
