Made by the same producers as the Traitors.
I have watched the first two episodes on ALL4...it has received mixed views so far.

Traitor(ish)... but set in a business scenario of Bosses v Workers.
I think that I will stick with it for the rest of the week.

I was tempted to leave it & then binge watch it... but it’s so easy to inadvertently see an a spoiler.

I've watched the 2 so far , it's sort of Big Brother with a few twists .

I'm glad Ramona got voted off ,dreadful potty mouth woman , CEO of a hospitality outfit apparently and that "entrepreneur " who quit after 1 day because it was too much hard work . What a loser .

I'll try and stick with it for the week .

Jeffery was one of the buyers /dealers on the CH4 thing "Four rooms" an antique selling prog a few years ago .

I recognised Jeff, but took a while to remember where from.
I originally thought of the UK Storage Wars... but then remembered his caustic approach in Four Rooms.
( Couldn’t remember it’s name... “Come & see me first”).
He’s desperate to get upstairs & sort ‘em out.

Cherill!: Trainee Nurse, but told Rachel that she was a hairdresser. confused
( Must be ‘gameplaying’... or a Mature Trainee).

NB: It could get interesting when the ‘Grafters’ begin to get promoted to the top table... & the ‘Rulers’ are demoted to the shop floor.

“Cherilllll”.... Ok, Ok, calm down, calm down, eh!, eh!
It’s like the Apprentice, you start watching it... & then find yourself sucked in.
But admit... not a great reality programme lover, but quite enjoying watching it.
I reckon some more of the old ‘fired’ ones will be back.

Jeff: Agree, he was really abnoxious in Four Rooms
Jack & Sydney: Seem like a nice couple.

Ramona: She is the only Grafter that I would like see gone.
( Can’t wait for her to be sent back upstairs.)

PS: Have you tried Paddy McGuinness on that Temptation show.
Not bad... probably on par with this.
Bring back the Circle.

Decided not to watch the Temptation thing as I'm already invested in Race across the world , similar but different.
The Circle ,OMG I watched the first series ,beyond dreadful ! shoot

Missed Rise and Fall tonight ,that's it I'm out for good !

Damn, I'd hoped I'd never have to see those bloody great tits again!

Anyway I watched the first episode last night and it's not bad. It's no Traitors, but certainly better than the Apprentice (what isn't)? if not so funny.

On with episode 2 now.

I think C4 have been very lax with mental
screening on this, Connor and Rossi both have issues it’s clear to see and I hope they get support. I’ve never seen anyone like Rossi before he must be playing a part.

Otherwise it’s ok but somethings missing, the atmosphere just doesn’t come through. They should have weekly cash prizes to give them something to compete for.

Oh Matt the nurse, what a self important opinionated twunt

I think that a lot of people might binge watch this, like the Traitors.

NB: Agreed, It was a ‘boobfest’ during the first week...

It's not great. Somehow Paddy fking McGuiness is the least annoying person in this one.

Watching Tempting Fortune now. It has to get better than the last half an hour. Nothing has happened and it's dull.

Rise and Fall isn't up to much either.

Wow, idiots in charge. The sad thing is this is how party politics operates, with personal allegiances and egos often getting in the way of sensible decisions.

Not sure why the builder bloke is so egotistical/confident/entitled. Hopefully he'll get booted out once his squeeze isn't moved upstairs, hopefully tonight.

Quite enjoying this, but it's a poor copy of the Traitors tbh. And Greg James is no Claudia...

Jack: Cocky git, he wants to turn it into love island... Syd & him were jumping into bed together almost immediately.
I reckon one would be kicked out, the other would ‘fall’.
(Jack back in the basement, tail between his legs... Syd isn’t strong enough to survive anyway).
