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!

So sorry OP, cats really are such a huge part of the family. Hugs to you.

BakedBeansforabrain · 02/01/2026 16:54

On the scroll opened by the traitors Netty’s name was spelt incorrectly as Nettie

Sorry for disappearing, we’ve had some devastating news this afternoon and have had to have our much loved family cat put to sleep. I’ll catch up on things a bit later.

Oh I’m so sorry. My little cat is so important to me. Pets are part of the family.

Traitors 2026 - New Years Day
TeideHeart · 02/01/2026 17:00

I think the ST has made a massive mistake in not writing the names in fairly anonymous upper case.

It looks like they've written it in their own handwriting.

At the first banishment if they do the same they're rumbled!!

It may be helpful to the ST that those round table chalk boards don’t give much away in terms of handwriting style, but the spelling could be a clue or red herring 😀

It could have easily been one of the production crew who wrote the names. Planting false leads like this is an easy way to keep the audience guessing. Just like the shots of the ST in the red cloak, which seems to be several different people so far.

I'm so sorry to read this, cats are such a lovely part of the family.

I think Stephen is going to be an excellent traitor. He's a dark horse. He'll probably be banished tonight now I've said that!

CaveMum · 02/01/2026 17:17

Thanks all, she was 19 so a very good age but we think she had a stroke or similar and it all happened very quickly.

I like him and I think he'll work well with Rachel. Hugo is another matter.

OccasionalHope · 02/01/2026 17:31

IF that’s the ST’s own handwriting, IMO it looks like a woman’s and probably slightly older, which would fit for either Harriet or Fiona.

OccasionalHope · 02/01/2026 17:32

PS, sorry to see CaveMum’s sad cat news.

AndWhoShallISayIsCalling · 02/01/2026 17:34

@CaveMum oh, so sorry to hear about your cat. 💐 After 19 years that's a big hole left in your heart and home. 😞

I don't like the change of the red traitor..I do wish they wouldn't change the winning formula.

That's one of the best things about it. It's never exactly the same twice!

RescueMeFromThisSilliness · 02/01/2026 17:38

MaggieFS · 02/01/2026 15:12

But they filmed this series before the sleb one, so how does that work?

I was under the impression that the sleb one was filmed first.

So sorry to hear your sad cat news @CaveMum

gingercat02 · 02/01/2026 17:41

Just saw your news @CaveMum so sorry

DarkForces · 02/01/2026 17:41

So sorry to hear about you cat @CaveMum . 19 is an incredible age but it's so hard to lose them 🤗

Femalemachinest · 02/01/2026 17:49

Not read the thread but in my eyes the secret traitor needs to stick with the 2 people who didnt get murdered plus a new one or its going to get narrowed down rather quickly

cariadlet · 02/01/2026 17:53

I'm puzzled by the posters saying that it looked like a woman's handwriting.

I remember studying the Mayor of Casterbridge for O Level back in the dark ages. Michael Henchard was angry with Elizabeth for writing in a masculine hand. I always thought that the concept of male handwriting styles and female writing styles was a Victorian idea.

Do men and women genuinely have different styles of handwriting nowadays? I

There was definitely a difference when I was at school, post Victorian times but also not yesterday!

@CaveMum so sorry about your cat ❤️

Purplewarrior · 02/01/2026 18:05

So sorry about your cat @CaveMum

I have taken against Hugo.

No idea who the ST is. Their suggestions of who to murder were a bit shit though, especially Netty. I agree with PP who pointed out that ST now needs to keep the remaining two suggestions on future lists as otherwise by process of elimination they will out themselves over time.

They won’t always be able to though, there will probably be shields in the next task and people on the list will get banished.
