Welcome to Thread 5 of Traitors 2026.

This thread runs at TV pace so do not read any further if you are not up to date with the live broadcast. Whilst most discussion will be on the current series, inevitably people will refer to previous series/players/winners so reader beware if you’ve not seen the 3 previous editions, or the celebrity version.

While we welcome posters discussing their theories and speculating on relationships/connections between players, please don’t post spoilers from elsewhere that may ruin things for those of us who like to see things unfold over the course of the series.

The story so far:

Traitors
Hugo
Rachel
Stephen
Fiona (Secret Traitor)

Murdered
Netty
Ben
Maz

Banished
Judy (Faithful)
Hugo (Traitor)
Ross (Faithful)
Amanda (Faithful)

Candidates for murder in Episode 6: Ellie, Faraaz, Jade, Matthew, Reece and Sam (Amanda was also a potential but was banished beforehand and Fiona and Stephen cannot be murdered).

The floor is yours…

I agree. If she's 62 that makes her only 6 years older than me but realistically she looks old enough to be my mum !! Also, I have a few friends who are about 62/63 and she looks at least 10 years older than them.
She's an unusual woman.

I know! I thought the confused old lady act was gameplay.

But after Uncloaked it appears it’s her modus operandi. She appears v switched on (and perhaps quite devious) in real life, but the confused old lady affectation prob lets her get away with murder IRL too!

I’m convinced she voted for Sam rather than Rachel because she (correctly) knew it was going to be her or him that’d be banished and it was her best chance of survival.

Completely off topic but does anyone else think that Claudia’s makeup is completely the wrong colour?! Or is it my telly? 😂 although everyone else looks ok

Matthew and Rachel definitely know each other

She needs to do luminous make up, it’s so cakey

She must be at least 75.

I thought it was just telling that who the Secret Traitor was, or that there was one.

Stephen played a good game,getting the irritatingly excitable Jessie to go for Fiona as the "mole" in the library. Cleverly done

hard agree

I want Stephen, Rachel and Matthew to win 😂😂

Oops, wrong post.

Just caught up- but why is Ed Gamble dressed as Burglar Bill?

Agree that burner phones story is complete bollocks

And in doing so has taken the heat from Jessie off him....

I can't work out if Claudia is warm or cool skin tone - I've done colour a analysis and she's either deep autumn (warm) or burnished winter (the warmest of the winters).

Undoubtedly. This season feels more like a Made in Chelsea off shoot than ever.

Maybe Harriet will succeed where Jaz failed? She has a better social game and is unlikely to keep the tiger locked in its cage for too long.

What's so sinister about Fiona is that I'm not sure it was just an ego thing, her being pissed off that Amanda confided in Rachel. Again and again she has said it's just incomprehensible that police wouldn't close ranks, cutting everyone else out. Hmm... Not good. Her and her police family... I'd hate to live in her community, she'd be absolute poison - worse than that, poison wielding power. Ugh!

Hooray that she's gone! But surely Rachel and Stephen are now ridiculously exposed, although at the next round table the faithfuls will probably pick on someone random as usual now that Reece has gone (poor Reece!).

On a shallow note, Claudia and pink lipstick are just WRONG.

Unfortunately we'll probably see her on the sofa in twelve months time being interviewed by Ed (love him btw) spouting more lies

I’m glad Fiona has gone but it does mean the average age of the cast has rapidly declined from where it was at the start. They always seem to get rid of the older people first - I think there are only 2 players left who are over 40 (Rachel and Harriet), unless I’m forgetting someone.

How do you do your colour analysis? I have tried and it just seems to be apps that are money making not genuine.

I liked the pink
lippy. Claudia always looks great though

She might turn up on Uncloaked 🤮

I think she must be a Winter. She can carry off all the jewel tones

Agreed. They need the show to be good so plant seeds and meddle as much as they legally can.
