"Boring and tired" — The Traitors fans criticize Danielle and Britney for rekindling alliances

While Season 3 of The Traitors keeps fans guessing, not all of the revelations are exciting. After weeks of switching allegiances, Danielle and Britney attempted to reestablish their alliance in Episode 9, but their decision was poorly received by the audience. On social media, a number of fans criticized their fresh collaboration, claiming that their gaming lacked excitement and uniqueness.

Strategic actions have to be novel and unusual at this stage of the game, but Danielle and Britney's attempt to get back together felt like a rehashed play. Some viewers anticipated daring betrayals and unexpected turns instead of a reunion of long-standing partnerships, given the turmoil of recent episodes. A few fans were dissatisfied with the pair's choice instead, with many saying they are just sticking to what they know rather than taking chances.

As the competition draws to a close end, alliances will inevitably change, but it's unclear if Danielle and Britney's newfound cooperation will help them play better. They may easily become easy targets if they don't make a difference.

A fan of The Traitors US wrote on X,

"Ok so now obvi danielle is gonna recruit britney…..boring and tired, i hope they get her ass next episode #TheTraitorsUS"

An admirer posted,

"Unless Danielle plans on throwing Britney under the bus, that didn't really make sense to me. She should've asked Dylan #TheTraitorsUS"

"Danielle recruiting Britney was a low iq move based totally on emotion. Should have been Dylan/Gabby. The only thing I’m looking forward to is hopefully seeing Britney turn on Danielle. Until then, Traitors UK was way better. #TraitorsUS3 #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUS," a tweet read.

A few more fans of The Traitors US shared their opinion on the renewed alliance.

An X user shared, "YESSS GOD I HAVE LIVED TO SEE DANIELLE AND BRITNEY BE TRAITORS TOGETHER!!!!! sorry carolyn had to be the one but this is my dream #thetraitorsus"

"I’m happy for Britney to get more screen time but I really need her to stab Danielle in the back again #TheTraitorsUS," another comment on X read.

Danielle decides to recruit Britney on The Traitors US Season 3 Episode 9

In The Traitors Season 3, Episode 9, Danielle took a risk by trying to recruit Britney into her group. Danielle recognized a chance to improve her game by reestablishing her alliance with Britney after weeks of shifting allegiances and growing mistrust. Even though they had previously had a difficult collaboration, she thought that reuniting could provide them both a much-needed edge as the game approached its end.

After floating between other groups, Britney appeared receptive to Danielle's proposition, realizing that having a powerful ally could help her make it through the next rounds. Fans weren't quite persuaded by this decision, though. Many viewed their reunification as a last-ditch effort to remain relevant and said it lacked the strategic depth required at this point in the game.
