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…

I wonder if there’s been beef in house we’ve not seen & been party to - Fiona & H surely too rattled?

@EdithBond

oh they’re VERY happy. She’s sold shit loads of books this year and all publicity is good

she needs to be memorable

Exactly this!

If Harriet gets banished though she will reveal herself to be a faithful and then surely all eyes will be on Rachel. I think whatever happens, she has ruined Rachel's chance of winning...

If I was a faithful I'd banish Harriet because I would now conclude she wouldn't share.

She’s let her emotions get the best of her and made a bit of a twat of herself

I'm now Team Anyone but Harriet.

so there’s a murder tonight?

H needs that shield

Haha, well done Harriet. She needs to win this. Irrespective of whether she does, she's the most intelligent.

The rest is entertainment mentioned Harriets next book is out mid feb...she is milking it!

As Fiona disproportionately rattled too I reckon personal beef & personality clashes in house not in edit.

I think if she'd done it in a different way she could have achieved this and maintained a good reputation.

Sam is bright

I’m absolutely sure it will. I wouldn’t trust a word she says if I was in there. She’s really misread the situation, this isn’t a courtroom.

Very, VERY, good point!

Harriet hadn’t practiced law for 20years. If she’s only 52 then she stopped at 32. Surely she can only have been a big time barrister for a short time by the time she’d done her pillage, and paid her dues working up?

She's played all her cards, and should have kept them closer to her chest. I know she was rude but I think it was just a case of the adrenaline running high.

I noticed just now when she was in the chair. She looks much older, more like Fiona’s age 😳 I’m 50 so it’s not like I’m seeing her through “gen z eyes”

Maybe might explain if thinks no chance of winning.

Harriet helped oust Hugo, some balls if she was a traitor. And Fiona accused Rachel.
Like her outburst or not, I would have been siding with Harriet at the RT.

Can I recommend reading Mary Beard’s “Women & Power: A Manifesto”. It’s only 115 pages and well worth it. The first part focuses on attitudes to women speaking out….

I agree with you. There will be so much they don’t show so clearly something may have happened in group that has caused ructions. Fiona and Harriet may have reacted to that. It looks out of place but we haven’t seen the context.

if both teams keep who has a shield secret then it negates the entire premise because then anyone could have it. But the traitors know anyway

Good idea to take a shield, Rachel.

Eek, I liked Harriet up until the breakfast!! wtf was she doing? She’s a tad younger than me but def comes across as older (looking and dressing).
