Nobody’s Fool, hosted by Danny Dyer and Emily Atack, follows 10 players staying in the “Smart House,” where they take on daily quizzes to build a prize pot.
However it isn’t that simple. The contestant’s fate isn’t decided by how smart they are, but rather how clever their fellow contestants think they are.
While viewers compared the new reality quiz show to a variety of iconic telly including Golden Balls, Mastermind, Generation Game and The Chase, the most common comparison was in fact The Traitors.
The Traitors quickly became one of the biggest TV shows in the UK and subsequently the benchmark to many new series.

Eagle-eyed fans have claimed that Nobody’s Fool has many elements of the BBC One show with some dubbing it a “copycat.”
Taking to X, one fan penned: “Oh come on, trying to copy The Traitors vibe here. This is not original its taking the p**s.”

Another fan said: “Honestly how many more programmes are gonna rip off The Traitors, nothing will be beat it, bit like how every other reality show copied Big Brother.”
Fans noticed Nobody’s Fool did their own version of “the round table,” which saw the contestants vote for who was the least helpful.
Despite some of the negative comments, Danny and Emily’s new series also received some glowing reviews.
A fan added: “Enjoyed that actually much better than the neighbourhood and genius game.”
Another viewer added: “Actually pretty good, I’m not one for these kind of shows but I enjoyed it!”
Viewers also expressed their fears the show could follow in the footsteps of The Neighbourhood.
After just one season, ITV‘s The Neighbourhood was “axed just days after the finale.”
The show, which saw real life friends and families competing against their “neighbours” to win a life-changing amount of money, received poor ratings and viewer complaints.
It failed to land with viewers after being given the prime-time slot originally – it was reportedly only pulling in 500k viewers by the third episode.
Nobody’s Fool viewers are already fearing the series could be on it’s way out.
One fan said: ” I can see this going exactly the same way as The Neighbourhood.”
Another said: “#NobodysFool is The Neighbourhood 2.0.”
The next two episodes of Nobody’s Fool are already available to stream on ITVX.
