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…

Interesting Adam and Sam both thought Roxy was a traitor

Alexander - smart as ever. ‘The alliance hasn’t really been tested yet…’ quite

Yes I agree too @MrsLeonFarrell

Aren't students allowed to be rich as well as clever?

I liked Rachel from the beginning, I think she has played a blinding game and kept her cool and managed to remember its a game. It feels like more than the usual number are struggling to remember its a game this year.

LV does NOT want to be sharing that couch!

What is in the second envelope?

They can easily have rich families too.

Bar bills 😊

Adam is a dimwit

E done wot e done

Murdering Jessie and framing it as a double bluff is high risk, especially considering people don’t seem to be on board with her theory. If Harry had murdered Jaz in S2 then I reckon he’d have been more at risk than he was leaving Jaz there not being listened to and I think the same applies here.

“People were quite individual”

Not sure I agree with Alexander on that, given the man merge

It’s like being successful in the Arts:

Parents with enough money to support you while you’re not earning
Partner has money
Take time off before your PhD to save money
Part-time job

How do you remember these details of 2 years ago?

I love Claudia’s shade of lipstick tonight, she looks fabulous, as always!
I know it’s a silly thing, but I keep getting annoyed every time someone does that exaggerated open-mouthed shocked look! I remember this from last time, and now I keep seeing it all the time! Don’t know why it is annoying even, just can’t cope with all the 😮😮 Please close your mouths!

I know, I can’t believe how much people are able to remember from previous series.

Sam and Ed really do look alike

I don’t know. I think I’m just a bit obsessed with all things Traitors

High risk for Stephen - but would be good for Rachel, and probably worth the risk as people are starting to listen to Jessie and she won't give up. So probably worth it for both of them in the long run if they want to win. And Jessie won't get banished.

I can give it up any time.

I think that the second parchment says about Ellie and Ross, and Roxy and Judy. Revelations to them but the audience don’t really care.

He’s another contender for someone reading the thread.

Or he wasn’t joking when he said he and Ed were twins.

It is high risk but maybe not as risky as leaving Jessie in to spread her theories. She is convincing and if she got Ellie on board and all those young men she teams up with there world be trouble.

I'd murder her tonight and Matthew tomorrow.

If Harry had realised that Jaz was a threat he'd have been murdered. I don't think Jaz got enough support to pin it on Harry even if he'd been murdered.

Interesting that Sam is saying Faraaz was on him all the time at the Round Tables - that hasn’t been shown at all
