Abstract
The Traitors is one of the most watched and talked-about programmes on TV, gaining an audience of over five million for the first episode of season 3. As psychologists, we know that people are inherently interested in other people – in The Traitors, viewers get to watch a wide spectrum of human behaviour. The game itself involves trust, deception and betrayal, but we also get to see how first impressions form, how relationships emerge between individuals, how groups form, how people judge and make decisions about each other, along with many other psychological areas of interest.
