Viewers have branded the American version of The Traitors "borderline unwatchable" after complaints it features too many reality TV stars.
The full series of The Traitors US is now available on BBC iPlayer and people have been tuning in to watch the murder mystery reality show. However, not everyone is liking the new series and many have pointed out some major differences with the UK version which many fans enjoyed.
Although the murder mystery action is set in the same Scottish castle as the UK version, there are a number of changes. Scottish actor Alan Cumming has replaced Claudia Winkleman as the host.

And the cast is mostly made up of celebrities from other American reality shows, including Kate Chastain from Below Deck, Brandi Glanville from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Cirie Fields who has competed on four seasons of Survivor. Fans are already calling for a big change if there is a second US series, reports Birmingham Live.

@BetterThanToday wrote: "I started watching The Traitors US last night and I have to say, it is borderline unwatchable. Every charm the U.K. version had has been b**********."
@joexsutton added: "5 minutes in and #TraitorsUS is NOTHING on #TraitorsUK." @phatpat_ctw echoed: "So I started #TraitorsUS . It’s a no from me."
Others said there was not enough action on the US version, and some said it was making a mockery of Scotland. @happyMadisonn wrote: "Watching because i love a handful of the cast, but so far its way too much wasted time on pointless scenes. Walking into the room. The slowness of the everyone walking into the room, the host to talk. Etc. We need more action #TraitorsUS."
@Skwirble commented: "Oh... Not a fan of how The Traitors US is being OTT Scottish and I'm only 15 minutes in. Even Scottish Alan Cumming (who I adore) is putting on an *extra* accent and playing a role instead of himself - AND there's basically a Groundskeeper Willie running around."
However, others are already hooked by the US version. @misterious76 said: "#TraitorsUS 's so good. But next season has to be either all reality tv peeps or all civilians. Don't mix! I've watched the aussie version a couple of months ago. And soon I'm gonna start the uk version."
@iJustinCross echoed: "Okay. So #TraitorsUS is amazing. Can confirm. The atmosphere pulls is all together so well. Also @Kate_Chastain and @BrandiGlanville being put together is giving me everything I hoped it would."
And @trevor14298 added: "I legit binged the traitors us all day today from like 1 pm until a few mins ago, only taking a 2 hour break in the middle. i don’t regret it one bit."
