Welcome to Thread 7 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 (as at end of Ep 6):

Traitors
Hugo
Rachel
Stephen
Fiona (Secret Traitor)

Murdered
Netty
Ben
Maz
Reece

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

This thread is starting mid-way through Episode 7, so goodness only knows what is going to happen in the Round Table Showdown that is brewing.

The floor is yours…

I wish they would re-enable the laughter reaction, if only for Telly Addicts 😂

😂😂 who we talking about?

The slow handclap seemed very out of character which is what made me think there had been some drama with Roxy and Rachel that we aren't party too which made Harriet think Roxy was putting on an act. Also if it had been around Harriet offering ROxy her chance to ask questions I can see why she wouldn't want her to control the narrative.

Sorry I said Fiona was a faithful, yes she was a traitor!
No idea what will happen in tonight’s episode. Maybe someone else will start ranting and raving, who knows.

This is like you are trying to figure out who the Traitors are and avoiding the obvious traitor.
The only person we see touching people all the time...is Jessie!

Rachel!

To be fair to Jade she may be cruising or it could be in the editing. The RT takes around 4 hours. I can’t really believe she doesn’t speak at all during it. It could simply be whatever ‘story’ the producers want to push.

How can the RT take 4 hours?! No wayyyy

I’m sure I read it somewhere. I’ll see if I can find it.

When they were doing the task with the mirrors and talking together they did discuss sharing info within their group before the rest of the contestants. Roxy seemed to be blindsided by Harriet’s going off piste at breakfast in that way. Harriet presumably never intended to stick to it as she already thought Rachel was a traitor but it would have been smarter to speak to the others she thought were faithfuls before going nuclear.

I’m not sure about 4 hours but there have been multiple interviews where players have said it takes a long time - someone definitely said 2-3 hours

Here says about 3 hours. Sorry I was wrong

I can absolutely believe the round table takes hours, especially when there are still lots of people in the game. Real life conversations aren't tight and scripted, they meander and go all over the place and there's a lot to get through.

There will be lots of different ways to edit it.

Totally agree with you that Roxy was only trying to stick to the agreement the team had made the night before.

Also she wanted the players from the other teams to first have the basic info about how it had played out with the whole smoke and mirrors thing, because as a team they’d agreed not to say anything the night before so the majority of the players were totally in the dark. She was actually trying to be fair to the larger group with her insistence at explaining some of the background before Harriet launched in.

The description of Rachel as a goose in earrings is spot on 😂😂!

Don’t like her one jot.

The FBI stuff made her sound like a knob.

Yes I wondered that but would the edit really set out to make her seem such a non contributor? Other passengers have been showing making a contribution in quiet moments, at least in passing. Even in the side chats and tasks she is never adding ideas, always just tagging along.

If she is notably different in the game then the editing process is doing her a great injustice since even the other quiet cruisers seem to be adding some ideas in the tasks or the side chats.

I would have said about the FBI thing, Rachel - if you’re telling the truth, the course is either shit or you are using it to be a traitor because it’s obviously not working!

Was Harriet actually there when that discussion took place?

But why should Harriet stick to the rules that Roxy and others made? It was her experience and she should be in control of that, same as Matt who didn’t divulge anything!

I reckon Harriet had enough of being in the local Travelodge, it must be the first time she’s ever been in one.

Very true @ihamid they’re in survival mode.

Saved her bacon, though.

I think the FBI thing made her sound like a traitor and I wondered why she said it when it wasn't necessary really.

Being able to spot "micro expressions" but has an odd voting history & didn't vote foe either traitor? Hmmm...

That plus being mentioned strongly by two people, one a traitor and one a faithful, would make me start to wonder about her & whether the blow up with Fiona was traitor on traitor.
I would find it odd that two people were so dramatic and adamant about her.

Filling up the thread! We’re all over here ready for tonight’s episode.
