Welcome to the castle - watch it bring you to your knees | 2026 Celebrity Traitors Thread 5 [TV Pace]

It’s so boring. Yeah we get your a reluctant traitor but it’s not really what viewers want to see. Such as shame as there could have been some amazing traitors. Seems like a waste. Oh well he’s getting paid and will also make a killing afterwards too so I guess he doesn’t give a damn.

As others have said, James Acadter should go. He is spineless and boring and therefore irritates me. He is spoiling the entire programme for me. Love Maya and Kenny though … so much personality.

I wish we could pick who goes. I’d choose Sharon or Leigh-Anne. Can’t see them choosing anyone other than Miranda which is shit as I agree I think she’s onto Maya and now pretending the creaking boards meant nothing. But that’s why Maya will want her to go.

If James A hates it so much, he should just fall on his sword and allow the other two to recruit Rom or Bash. Really no point in repeating over and over again how much you hate being a Traitor.

He didn't know how fruitless the task would be, he is just a coward. If they had all joined in and two of them made noise like Kenny did, they could have built the shield. I know it's just a game but why did he bother to sign up? If I were Maya or Kenny I would be furious.

Surprised more people aren't talking about how good Kenny is - he has a poker face (being a boxer that's useful). He's likeable, very quick on his feet and thinks quite strategically. Maya is more day to day smart but Kenny thinks a bit more long term, it's like he's setting up Bash. He also knows when to stay quiet, is good at deflection and controls his emotional states exceptionally well - I'm loving him as a traitor and he looks like he is actually enjoying every bit of it.

Jerry Hall looked bored - she's witty and bright but I felt she was disappointing here but she is likeable too. I think they've murdered Miranda sadly as I've enjoyed watching her - she's smart and funny but she is a threat and would definitely have been my choice to go if I had been a traitor.

Think it depends who’s on it tbh. If REG was still in, it would be so entertaining… it’s because we have reluctant players that it’s not as good

The traitors didn't even have to balance the 7 piece jigsaw puzzle, just pick up pieces from other players and put them on the flat board.

I suppose when you are getting your fee it really doesn't matter to you any more.

The original celeb edition should have ended there, no way this should have been approved for broadcast. It is getting worse not better.

I agree that sharon is the perfect kill, Bash has had hear before

I think Maya and/or Kenny should make up something they heard him say/saw him do and get him banished.

James A is great at puzzles. He could have done the task whilst Maya and Kenny stomped all around the room causing confusion and chaos. So disappointing.

I think the biggest fail is once again the producers. The task didn't work, traitors didn't know what they were meant to do, faithless didn't seem to either it was boring to watch and achieved nothing, no money no one further along with who might be a traitor. Really mean hate towards James A on this thread, he is no worse than Maya in my opinion she is useless under pressure. James A had a good stab at the yawning task, she followed his lead, he did all the talking. I think he knew how fruitless the task was so took the view it wasn't worth the risk and he was right. He also brings things to round table Maya doesn't.

Yeah because that makes great telly for us viewers doesn’t it. Why not just scrap the whole task and just watch them stand still for 15 minutues. Fascinating!

Maya has been getting flak on X for being "mean" to James A! Female
Traitors always get hate for being ruthless or cold or manipulative. The men never do. Remember Rachel and Stephen?

She has tweeted that she had no idea he was reluctant to be a Traitor when she picked him.

I guess they could have nicked everything from whoever had got furthest with their shield and then built on that.

I don’t think Kenny has tbf I think he’s still under the radar

Good episode, no suspicion on any of the traitors and a lot less players now so the tension increases.

Also disappointed with Acaster. I defended him on the last thread, but thought his performance in the task was so poor. To not even take off his blindfold was cowardly.

Ed Gamble said on Uncloaked he would have been able to easily build that shield too, so he could have made a real difference there.

I felt it was a very exposing task, but they could have covered each others backs by all walking around like Kenny.

Can’t help but question the Traitor selection this year! Would have been so different had they had some real strategy in that turret.

Still enjoying it a lot. Agree with others that I hope Miranda, Michael and Romesh stay.

Can’t believe it finishes next Friday!

Yeah, not for me. I mean, he's ok I guess (just watched some youtube clips) but he's no Bob Mortimer. Horses for courses.

But I am annoyed with him on the Traitors and I hope Maya and Kenny turn on him now 😆

I don't think Acaster should be kicked off, but I hope he's banished.
I also think Maya and Acaster had no choice but to vote for Jerry, because everyone else did. Kenny has drawn attention to himself by voting for Bash.

Strong agree.
