Whilst we're all glad The Traitors is finally back on our screens, everyone seems to be making the exact same 'complaint' that almost all great TV shows are guilty of.
Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, the BAFTA-winning show is a reality competition where '22 strangers play the ultimate game of detection, backstabbing and trust, in the hope of winning up to £120,000'.
Last February, a cloaked-up Winkleman confirmed the news of the second outing on X (Twitter).

"Hi, it's Claud here," the BBC host began.
"I've got a small question for you and, yes you're right, the cloak might be giving it away."
"Here's the thing," she went on, before asking a handful of questions to viewers.
"Can you spot a liar? Could you betray those around you? How would you fare at the round table?" she asked.
"What I'm asking is: would you like to play?"
And fans of the show struggled to hold in their excitement, with one person tweeting: "'ITS HAPPENING EVERYBODY STAY CALM."
Another added: "Get it in my eyes, @BBCOne!'; 'My entire year has been leading up to this."
Now season two if finally here - with 22 new strangers battling it out at a castle in the Scottish Highlands in the hopes of picking up the hefty cash prize.
The first episode dropped on BBC One on Wednesday night (January 3) and it's already been hailed as 'genius reality TV' amongst the critics.
A review from The Guardian said: “The second series of Claudia Winkleman’s backstabbing smash hit is just as masterly as the first – and well and truly secures its place in the canon of genius reality TV.”
While The Independent added: “Will it be as addictive the second time round? The early signs are strong: yes, the drama relies on the small betrayals and suspicions that vibrate through the ever-shrinking group, so there’s lots to wait and see, but the cast are a hoot.”
However, many viewers seem to have one common complaint - and it's that they have to wait until next week for episode four.
"How can I physically wait until next Wednesday for the next The Traitors????????" one fan tweeted.
"I’ve got to mute #traitors there’s no way I can do it one episode a week. That s**t is peak binge tele. And yes, I’m aware the first 3 episodes are available on iPlayer tonight but that’s almost worse having to wait for the rest," another added.
"Idk how i’m supposed to wait a week for episode 4 of The Traitors," a third wrote.
"Watched all three episodes of The Traitors last night now I have to wait a week to see what happens," a fourth commented.
As you've probably guessed, the first three episodes are now available to watch on iPlayer now.
