Apologies, I can’t see another thread so just starting this one in anticipation.

Can’t wait to see what the red cloak is all about!

Anyone want to pass the hours playing guess who the original Traitors might be?
I'm thinking it will be 2 males, 1 female.
An older male - Maz
A younger male - Jack
Female - Jessie or Roxy?

CaveMum · 01/01/2026 07:29

Thanks for the link @IVotedForYourself.

12.5 hours to go - can’t wait!

A quick look at the contestants and I’d say there are a number of prime candidates for “first out” (either banished or murdered) - crime writer, psychologist and retired police detective? Bye bye!

I love your username @IVotedForYourself

Omg Harriet Tyce is on it!! I love her books. I think they will go one man two women . Maybe Hugh, Netty and Jade.

@RescueMeFromThisSilliness

On reflection, my comment comes across as a bit snippy. It really wasn't meant to be, and I can see that names and photos are "out there" now.

Stowickthevast · 01/01/2026 10:23

Place-marking for tonight.

These an article in The Guardian with Claudia saying the new series is brutal and contains a twist. I hope they don't really screen at each other. The celeb one was quite refreshing as everyone was so polite.

lostmywayrightnow · 01/01/2026 10:27

So weird that pics are in alphabetical order except for Adam. Maybe just an oddity, I am ever suspicious!

Checking into the castle early.
Interested to see how/if the producers have tinkered with the format.
Wonder if The Seer twist they used in S3 will be kept.

I hope not, that seer twist ruined the series

They usually print the participants' names and photos in the Radio Times and online a week beforehand, so we can get a rough idea of who they are and what they look like before the programme starts. They certainly did it the last time with the regular show.

I know it isn't a celebrity bersion.

They are in daily Mail. Looking at the photos there don’t seem to be any stand out eccentrics this year. Nor any young ones, the youngest is 25.

I DNF'd Blood Orange. I thought the mc was horrible and there was so little about the case. I predict I will love Harriet and re-buy her books now 😂

I agree. I didn’t enjoy series 3 as much because of that although they did have some lovely people too.

Placestogo · 01/01/2026 11:56

@IAmKerplunk they were pricey (£25 for 6) but there is enough for 10 players, theres a website to assist the banishments and the murders and it is all re-usable. Totally worth it!
We did not play a second time because we didnt have time but i have kept all the cards for another occasion.

No worries, and thank you. 🙂

If it were me choosing the candidates, I'd be having them as the three first traitors. Ha!

Wonderknicks · 01/01/2026 13:14

I wonder if they will do something about the fact that everyone now knows that it's not in their interests to get the Traitors out early? I suppose it beca me even more obvious in the celebrity one & this was filmed before that was shown.

Giddykiddy · 01/01/2026 13:17

Brilliant!

claudiaswinklemen · 01/01/2026 15:41

I can't remember the seer twist at all Confused

There is no way it is unintentional. Good spot!

Autumnleaves82 · 01/01/2026 16:20

I’m so pleased this is on at 8pm (I have to get up early in term time and it was previously a struggle with the 10pm finish, but I didn’t want to risk spoilers!).

Does anyone know if the whole series is starting at 8pm or just this week?

This is all I can find:

“Episode 1 at 8pm on Thursday January 1, episode 2 at 8pm on Friday January 2, and for the first time, Episode 3 will air on a Saturday (January 3) at 7.45pm.

After the first week, the episodes will air from Wednesday to Friday every week until the series reaches its final episode.”
