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…

Yes, but Stephen isn't on her radar!

I would definitely sneak a shield

Yes @TheGreenBow she would have done better to keep the element of surprise

Same and lie and say I didn't.

James 😂 this is so pantomime 😂

Would be funny if it fell out of his pocket

It’s a shame Harriet has overplayed this. She could have played it safe with the questioning, dropped hints then gone for the kill at the round table. The Traitors wouldn’t have dared to murder her.

They’re so easily distracted

Which is Roxie's strategy. Well, probably quite a few others' as well but she stated it.

Harriet now has to deal with shield-gate when she's trying to get Rachel out!

I missed it - was it James who took the secret shield or is he just generally suspicious?

James took it

Ah, just seen the confessional, He’s not a good liar!

What a wild day! Now Shieldgate.

I can’t stand him. Worse than any of them. Sly.

It’ll be a welcome distraction! They’ll forget outburst. Sam upset with James!

Why is hw telling everyone?

Now everyone is gunning for James

Shieldgate is annoying. It’s taking the heat off Harriet as everyone will be cross with James.

Shieldgate creating more strife than Harriet and Fiona!

Have we heard anything from Jade so far this episode?

Where is the cliffhanger going to be tonight? Banishment or murder?

Not much.

If they keep thinking rows are traitor on traitor, Rachel is the common denominator.

You are spot on! IRL the most successful
I know sit quietly with knowledge they’re right most of time. Inner confidence & humble.
