Yeah. The other thing that I'm currently watching is "The Traitors Australia." So I have read that the reviews are promising, as in the reviews of people watching the show are promising. I've watched the British version, "The Traitors UK," and it was spectacular. Like, I was obsessed. I'm still obsessed with the show because it's just... I'm not really into game shows, but holy shit, "The Traitors UK" is just spectacularly done. It's brilliant. I cannot think of another adjective to describe it, but yeah, it is spectacular. I've read the reviews for "The Traitors US" and also "The Traitors New Zealand." They are not as good, especially the US because the show has chosen all the previous influencers, like all the unknown influencers, I think. So it's not that very appealing to people because people don't really... I don't know, just like the... It mainly comes down to the participants of the show, so that's why a lot of people are not really fans of "The Traitors US." Maybe. I've never watched it because I don't want to waste my time watching something that I might hate. But I find "The Traitors Australia" pretty good. So far, I've watched maybe three episodes and, yeah, so far, they're pretty good. I can't wait to watch them until the end.

But if I were to compare between "The Traitors Australia" and "The Traitors UK," the thing that's missing...because both of the shows have spectacular cinematography. And there's suspense. There's... It's intriguing; both of them are intriguing. One thing that I can give props to "The Traitors Australia" are definitely the challenges. The challenges are definitely more well-thought-out, more challenging than the challenges from the UK version because the challenges in the UK versions are just... Pretty childish, I would say. I wouldn't say childish, it's just like... It's not that fun, if that makes sense. So far, from the three episodes of "The Traitors Australia" that I've watched, they are quite fun. The challenges are. But the one thing, the main thing that "The Traitors Australia" is lacking is the fact they take out the emotional part of the show, the emotional part that makes "The Traitors UK" so wholesome, so nail-biting, just you get immersed, obsessed for the whole run. So that's the one that I noticed that "The Traitors Australia" is missing, like a huge part of the show that makes "The Traitors UK" amazing is the emotional part, the emotional aspect of it. Yeah, because if you take out that part, you don't really relate to the characters. I'm not saying that you should relate to the characters, but you do relate more with putting some of the emotional highlights of some of the emotional parts, and the one thing that I noticed that the UK has done quite spectacularly to bring out that aspect is through the musical score, the background music. That is... The Australian version is quite good. It's suspenseful, but they could have done better because the "The Traitors UK" is just... whoever has done the score... Yeah, it's just so good, like the musical score and...

Yeah, I don't know what else I should say. And also, you should know that "The Traitors UK" has won several awards, including Claudia Winkle. One more thing, Claudia in "The Traitors UK," she's so immersed. She's so absorbed with the show. That also helps with the emotional aspect of the show compared to the Australian version, where the host seems very disconnected with everything else. So I'm not sure whether that's a good idea because in "The Traitors UK," we are rooting even for the host, but here... We are just rooting for the participant. I mean, I don't mind it, really. Maybe they want to create their own identity in terms of... This show. They don't want to copycat the whole thing, the British version. It's definitely a show that you should watch because I'm so obsessed with it. Yeah, you should watch it. There's only one season so far, 12 episodes. It's not a lot, so you should definitely watch it.
