The Traitors Season-Premiere Recap: O Come, All Ye Faithful


Everyone’s favorite high-production-value game of Mafia returns by doubling down on our favorite reality stars.

After just one episode, I’m already confident that season two of The Traitors is a historical document destined for a place of honor in the Library of Congress’s reality-TV annex (that is to say, you’ll find a ripped DVD copy in the single-stall basement bathroom, tucked behind the radiator). She arrives in adult braces, which are extremely charming, and even more so when juxtaposed with her menacing proclamations like “I’m going to take care of her once and for all.” It’s great to see these women enjoy their freedom to wear something other than a buff that hasn’t been washed for a month, but I do have to say: My queen Parvati’s all-white pearl-studded-headband look in the premiere reminds me of something I would’ve coveted from the American Girl catalogue that sold matching outfits for kids and their dolls circa 1995. “My ears are so strong I could feel the vibration of lifting his jacket,” Larsa says, and while I wish we could ask her a detailed series of follow-up questions about her personal conceptions of both human anatomy and of the physics of sound,there is simply no time for that.
