Whodunnit? Reality Show

Post by gotMLK7 »

Whodunnit? is a reality competition television series broadcast on ABC. 13 competitors (technically 12 since one was hired to die first) compete in a murder mystery, where one player is secretly the serial killed murdering each of the competitors that did the worse in each episode. The competitors need to get the closest to guessing how the murder carried out, while investigating different scenes (each competitor gets the choice between crime scene, last place seen alive, and the morgue), searching for hidden clues based on hints given by the killer, etc. With a rather trollish butler hosting the event, it's an interesting reality show reminiscent of The Mole.

I personally like this show so far. It's in its first season with two episodes as I type this, but it's very fun, with some decent mysteries for fans of the genre (though they're more obvious to viewers than contestants since viewers actually see all the clues). I want to know if others have watched or heard of this show, and if so, how do you like it? Do you have any theories? Opinions on the competitors? If not, does it look interesting to you? Please, discuss the show here!

I wasn't planning to watch but then:

"Trollish butler"

So I might have to give it a shot after all.

The least they could've done is change the name.

The cause of death in episode two was from being lit on fire.
The butler served them a flambé meal.
He's pretty great.

This sounds exactly like something I'd like. Gonna check it out!
Nominating DWaM and Blackrune for Season 2.

EDIT: Watching the first episode right now.
Spoiler : :
Dontae is hilariously bad at this.

The "team" between Ulysses, Geno, and Kam is looking sure to succeed... which is why it will inevitably fail. Things never run smoothly in these reality shows.

Also, I am 99% sure these guys are using fake names. I mean, c'mon.

Watched both episodes, I crave more.

My guess is that
Spoiler : :
Geno is the killer. Some of his statements just seem a bit too forced, too dramatic... and sometimes oddly likely to stir things up.

Spoiler : :
I'm fairly certain that only a handful of them are actually playing the game. Probably four or five. Rest of them are actors--all the victims and the killer.
Quite an interesting show, looking forward to more.

I haven't watched the second ep yet (although I know who dies at the end b/c STUPID WEBSITE), but having re-watched the first ep I think (assuming they're being honest/fair) that the killer is Kam.

I haven't been watching closely enough to ascertain a real killer, but I have three random theories:
One, Melina's the killed, because she seems way too nice.
Two, the butler did it, because he isn't considered a suspect and PLOT TWIST.
Three, if anyone is killed and their body doesn't show up for a morgue investigation, they did it and faked their death.
Just theories though.

Also I don't like Kam. He's kind of a jerk. So therefore he must not be the killer because he's too predictable. Obviously.

got pls Giles was the first person I thought of

My guess is that he'll be the killer in season 2 (if that happens), tho




(he did some really suspicious stuff that they just handwave since he's the gameshow host, but him being the killer would TOTALLY explain it in-game)
