Welcome to Thread 6 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
Reece

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

No murder cliffhanger after episode 6, but Matthew (aka Interchangeable Male #3) has taken an interesting approach. We wait to see what cunning questions Harriet can come up with.

The floor is yours…

Harriet can't be too clever with her questions, as she's already coming across as a threat to the traitors.

Given she's had a fair bit of air.tiem, I have a feeling that she won't last much longer.

People say Jade doesn't do anything, but she may yet unveil her ninja gaming prowess later on, and win. It is what we've been shown in the edit. Did anyone think last year's winners would make it to the final when they were half way through? One of them said and did very little at that stage.

Yes, but they said “cat amongst the chickens” on the show

Choux wasn't quoting anyone from the show though.

AlwaysRightISwear · 11/01/2026 21:07

Do people think they will accept Matty's invitation to recruit him or turn him down?

And what will Harriet ask?

No, but it was funny to make the comment (at least, I thought so!)

And that Stephen forgets his role and writes “as a true Scotsman, I don’t wear pants…”

😂

He looks more like Eoin McLove

I liked the one about the jumper tucker’s son, too Grin

Me aswell, it's the first thing I thought of when I read the original post, why would anyone now say pigeon?

WonderfulSmith · 11/01/2026 21:33

I don’t see the point in asking the questions, they can just lie. I’m hoping Harriet has something super clever to ask. Something that will narrow down who they are. Then at the round table she can persuade everyone else.

Coming across as not being very smart or as smart as she is might be a good holding strategy for now.

Silverbirchleaf · 11/01/2026 21:37

@peacefulpeach I chuckled at your chicken quote.

Good point! Also, whatever it is, it won’t be as good as Matthew’s, or hers would’ve been the cliffhanger instead

Yes, that’s true. They could have aired the questions in whichever order they chose so I imagine Harriet’s are fairly “standard” questions.

I've been reading up on Marple and Poirot strategy 😂.

Marple would ask quite seemingly unimportant like who do you think is most at risk out of the faithfuls. Which would kind of be genius as it cross references with what Matthew asked.

Daytimetellyqueen · 11/01/2026 22:05

I found the chickens & jumper tuckers comments funny too - made me chuckle.

15minutesaday · 11/01/2026 22:21

Jumping on the discussion.

Did anyone else pick up on Matthew technically asking 3 questions?

Q1 - who are you going to kill next?

Q2 - and why?

Q3 - do we have a deal? (re. the murder of Jessie and his 'seduction')

👀

AlwaysRightISwear · 11/01/2026 22:37

James is showing some astuteness. He is suspicious of Stephen and also Matty who we know wants to be a traitor even if he isn't yet.

PinkPanther57 · 11/01/2026 22:51

Yes!

Clever of him, so he can say that he only asked the first two if pressed.
