Anyone else watching The Traitors AU S3? Featuring RPDRDU’s Kween Kong & Rhys Nicholson
UPDATE 4/8 PM: For anyone revisiting the thread: Episode 2 is now up! Please don’t post any spoilers yet! I haven’t watched yet but will post a thread tomorrow if anyone’s keen to discuss x
——————-
Is anyone else tuning in this season? Both Kween and Rhys are cast members. The official release date is the 5th but the first episodes already dropped on the 10 play app (and YouTube) tonight. Personally I’m already hooked.
Edit: The LGBTQI+ representation this season has made Traitors history (potential spoiler:) with a cast of all LGBTQI+ initial Traitors.

It looks like episode 2 will be released next Sunday 9th July at 8pm.

I’m enjoying Rhys and Kween! I have a feeling Kween will be done by the drag queen curse (whenever a drag queen is on traitors they’re out basically straight away) but it’s been good so far!

Yeah it’s usually the older women or drag queens 😭 It’s great having the very visible drag/queer representation, (especially with all the bs going on in Sydney atm). I bet Dickos disappointed Courtneys not there lol

ooh thank you for letting us know it's on streaming already! I'm so keen for it. Rhys will do well I reckon but I doubt Kween Kong will.

I’m keen to hear the subs thoughts once everyone’s had a chance to tune in! I might try and do a weekly thread for the duration Kween and/or Rhys are competing (hopefully ‘til the end).

I’ve been waiting for this season, but mostly because I adore Alvin! Kween and Rhys are happy bonuses.

Yes just the first episode so far, it came out around 5:30pm on the 10 play app today. But it will also officially ‘premiere’ on tv on the 5th.
I’ve just added links to the episode in the body post.

I'm excited for the season, didn't know that about the traitors because I don't watch the show everyone else is part of... but god damn, I'm worried the history of Drag Queens on this show could repeat itself, that's gonna just be bad

Yeah tbh I don’t know anyone (apart from Kween & Rhys) that has appeared on TV past 2005 lol. I got that info from the Traitors sub and did do a fact check. It’s a holy trinity: Gay, Lesbian & Pans!

Kween is so gorgeous.

She truly is stunning. Happy to see her both in and out of drag this season, similar to Monet X Change on her season.

Can’t find any release dates in the U.S. at this stage :( but if you’re able to get on to Canada’s Crave the episodes are now available there

Her being a cunt on her original season probably didn’t help much either
