Remarkable to see the debate about social media for under 16s and contract it with the reluctance of very smart adults to leave a particular social media platform.

Disagree with this. Allowed viewers to play along, put traitors on the back foot and the reveal in the turret was fantastic
I’ve written about why the Secret Traitor stunt was just a little bit silly uk.news.yahoo.com/the-traitors...
The Traitors showed it didn’t really need the Secret Traitor stunt

To be fair, Jack Charlton argued for water breaks in USA 1994 after the Irish players almost melted. He was throwing bags of water onto the pitch
