Welcome to Thread 8 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)
Harriet (Faithful)

Jessie, James and Adam are the potential murder candidates, but both Jessie and James have shields.

The floor is yours…

I want to banish La Voix from Uncloaked

Actually since I googled her previous cardi i keep getting ads for these, they're about £70 so not as pricey!

Alexander looks different?

And during the day, build a case against him for banishment.

Ed's seen this thread by his cat amongst the chickens comment

As a long term member of FWR, I don’t mind saying that I like LaVoix. He takes a slightly different take on things, for example mentioning the table decorations.

Or murder him instead of recruiting...

Yep. Bore off LV

The stripes on James's sweater matched Jessie's colours today

Who the hell is that guy?

I think Rachel’s allegiance to Stephen is genuine

I think Jessie as they also get to placate Matt for the day, poor love thinks he’s heading up the stairs tomorrow night.

Only while it helps her. I'm genuinely baffled that not one of them took any notice of Harriet words after her sacrifice

I wonder how she can afford these. Isn't she a student? Do contestants get a clothes budget?

Can you change your vote at the Round Table once you see how other people are voting? What Linda said just now seemed to imply that you could.

Alexander? Previous contestant, was an ex diplomat. Didn’t win but indirectly raised alot of money for Mencap, the charity he was going to donate ‘his winnings’ to . Has a really instragram blog explaining world politics.

Yes, I started off really disliking Rachel but I've started to warm to her. I liked the way she behaved towards Stephen in the Tower tonight. Maybe, as the game gets increasingly stressful, even the Traitors feel the need for a genuine ally and for that to be a two way bond.

I think Rachel will change her mind if momentum
builds against Stephen

I think the best plan might be to risk murdering Jessie because she's the only one who thinks deeply enough to not assume it's a double bluff. This decision may turn out to be the crux of who wins.

If they do, I don't think Stephen spent wisely. Those shorts were terrible too!

Rachel’s hair is great. If you can do plaits like that then go for it!

She would be better off defending him - if one of them goes now then the other is forced to recruit and its very late to bring in a new traitor.

Unpopular opinion clearly, but I love Stephen's jumpsuit (and LaVoix).

Jessie being murdered would I reckon throw people off Stephen long term, but then I wouldn't want him in the final as PP said.

For the same reason I think its likely that Rachel won't be in the final. Why would anyone risk it given two people freaked out on her?

Or they don’t want another Traitor who might gang up on them with the other existing Traitor.

I can do simple plaits but nothing as beautiful as hers.
