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’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.

You’re forgetting tank top man ! He could be any age !

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

Love him too, and excellent point but I won’t watch that episode, just catch up on here, much nicer 😊

ChinFluff46 · 09/01/2026 21:51

I'm not that anti Fiona but there was a moment where I thought Stephens going to be banished..can you imagine? 🤣

One thing this show has taught me is you can over focus and read anything into people's actions and intentions.

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 was looking at Fiona and thinking, is this woman only five years older than me????

If you saw us together you'd think I was her daughter.

pouletvous · 09/01/2026 21:52

Ok so Amanda and Reece both out and there has been no revelation about a real life connection

He’s apparently 35…

Not in that tank top which made him look like a ten year old boy wearing age 7-8 clothes

And it looked like he'd outgrown his trousers too.

To be fair to Fiona she has great skin.

pouletvous · 09/01/2026 21:53

The gardener chap is over 40 isnt he?

SoScarletItWas · 09/01/2026 21:54

mumofoneAloneandwell · 09/01/2026 21:43

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

It’s deliberate. She often says she wants to be orange, and blinded with eyeshadow.

My theory is, take away the panstick and pin back the fringe, and nobody would recognise her on the Tube. Her Traitors/Strictly appearance is her disguise.

(I bloody love her.)

mumofoneAloneandwell · 09/01/2026 21:54

I wanted Fiona GONE so I was happy 😂😂

shes god awful

not important in any way, but I don’t think she’s a natural blonde either

No, he’s 38

Ooo that’s a good theory - that’s probably it. She looks nothing like when she was younger, but maybe she does and noone knows!

I love her too

Perhaps they are related but decided not to share it.

Garamond55 · 09/01/2026 21:55

On a tangent, the faithful need to work on their metaphors. You put the cat among the pigeons and the fox in the coop, not the cat on the chickens. Likewise you walk into the lions den not the hornets nest which can only be stirred up.

the80sweregreat · 09/01/2026 21:56

I thought Matthew was a newbie at one stage.
i need to concentrate more

LighthouseLED · 09/01/2026 21:56

I’ve actually started wondering if Claudia’s hair is a wig. It looks unnaturally straight and doesn’t seem to move naturally.

Bobbinog · 09/01/2026 21:57

PinkPanther57 · 09/01/2026 21:53

Women in their 70s and older can also have great skin. I'm lucky enough to have great skin, it doesn't make me go around telling everyone I'm over a decade younger 😂

EdithBond · 09/01/2026 21:57

TraitorsFan · 09/01/2026 21:33

Hmm. Perhaps, especially if she’s had work and the blonde is on top of her grey.

Do we know what job she’s supposed to do, other than a vague ‘local government officer’?

I dread to think. Sounds like something where she sanctimoniously judges people before they can get any help. I read somewhere she has to suss out whether people are lying.

Silverbirchleaf · 09/01/2026 20:56

‘ Woman of a certain age’. Grr.

I know she’s only early 60s she’s talking like she’s 95!

the80sweregreat · 09/01/2026 21:58

I thought the cat metaphor was wrong . It’s always been pigeons where I live.

I’ve heard that’s true. She pins her fringe up, minimal make up and no one looks twice.

Edited

My theory is it's all fake because it makes her stand out and that women especially warm to her because she looks odd. In reality shes incredibly sharp and stunning but I think its a very clever way of having a public and private persona.

I think she’s gorgeous and I may never recover from that shot of her sitting astride the horse.

You can find Fiona's job information on Google, her email and direct phone line! The local authority should really sort that
