"The Traitors" and the lying liars who make it the reality treat of our time

Salon  

Some reality shows take a season or two to become their best selves. “The Traitors,” Peacock’s breakout reality hit, is the newest inductee to this late bloomers club, a Scotland-set murder mystery competition hosted by international delight Alan Cumming. Bravo’s various windows into the lifestyles of the striving and ostentatious, “Big Brother” players and “Survivor” contenders, even Bachelors and Bachelorettes all have to lie convincingly whether they want to or not. We’ll never know that answer, only that “The Traitors” is tailored to this moment – and makes us feel better somehow, by adding an air of aristocratic elegance. They’re joined by familiar faces from “The Challenge,” “Real World: Las Vegas,” a “Dancing with the Stars” coach and Peppermint, a "Drag Race" contestant.
