We want to try something new and see if FORTers have any interest in scheduling and joining watch parties for each new episode of The Traitors.
New episodes will be dropping once a week (Fridays at 9PM ET), and if some of you wish, we can schedule a watch party for a specific date/time on or after Friday 9PM ET to view and comment on it together.
Feel free to share your thoughts on the idea, and what day/times would work for you. If the idea takes off, we could do watch party threads for more streaming shows that currently only have threads in the Other Reality Shows forum.

Not really  Since some shows, like Traitors, are streamed instead of on live TV, we wanted to create a "Watch Party" event where we could all decide on a time to watch and comment together like we would a live show, such as Survivor, The Amazing Race, Bachelor, Big Brother etc. Sometimes it's more fun to watch a show together and comment here, rather than watch separately and then comments roll in days later. Of course, there wouldn't be any pressure and you can choose to watch with us one week and not the next. With Traitors becoming a more popular and having people of interest we figured this show would be a good time to try this sort of thing out. I will set up a poll to see what night and time will work best for everyone. Here is the schedule for when the Traitors will be dropping on Peacock: Episode 1 - Airs January 12, 2024 Episode 2 -Airs January 12, 2024 Episode 3 -Airs January 12, 2024 Episode 4 - Airs January 19, 2024 Episode 5 - Airs January 26, 2024 Episode 6 - Airs February 2, 2024 Episode 7 -Airs February 9, 2024 Episode 8 - Airs February 16, 2024 Episode 9 - Airs February 23, 2024 Episode 10 (Season Finale) - Airs March 1, 2024 Episode 11 (Cast Reunion) - Airs March 8, 2024 The upcoming season also features an official per-episode after-show, The Traitors Postmortem, which will show additional footage and extra confessionals with eliminated contestants. |

We'll still set up a Show Discussion thread each week, but the time/date for the watch party will be included in the first post, so people can join if they want, or just comment when they get around to watching it themselves.

3 episodes drop on premiere night, so that may be difficult as far as the watch party goes. I don't know if any of us want to commit to 3 hours |

Maybe you could do a watch party for the premiere episode only, so we don't have to wait to see how it works?

Three hours? Sure, sign me up! LOL
If I can endure the Bachelor nights, this should be a piece of cake.

Each episode is only 1 hour. Peacock is dropping the first 3 episodes on Premiere night in order to help lure people in.

I might want to join the watch parties, but it could be a few weeks. I’m having cataract surgery on Thursday. They only do one eye at a time, and I’m not sure what screen time will be like with mismatched eyes. 🤪

MissGriss, I had my cataract surgery this summer. AMAZING how well I can see now! Of course, there was that layer of dust on everything I couldn't see before surgery! LOL
I'm a bit confused as I read that though the first drop of three shows would be at 9:00 Eastern, but the next showings will be at 6:00 Pacific and 9:00 Eastern. Am I wrong, or will we all be watching at the same time?

I’m amazed at the difference, Punkin! In addition to just seeing better, everything is so much sharper. Whites are whiter, and colors are brighter. When I commented on that, the tech at the doctor’s office said it was like I’d been looking through a dirty window. Things look much yellower through my left eye, which hasn’t been done yet. |

I live on the west coast so I will be watching at 6:00 while others are watching at 9:00 or 7:00 mountain time. We will all be watching at the same time. |

Great. Thanks! I’m excited to try doing this. I’m not very good at multitasking, so I might find it hard to read, watch, and type at the same time. LOL

That's ok! There are a few little commercials where you might be able to pop on for a second. Otherwise just comment when the show is over. No pressure!
