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…

Agree

there may be more connections thT havent been revealed. If both parties are still in the game

Jaz was a lot more subtle in his going for
Harry than Jessie has been through. He never brought up Harry’s name at the round table once

Sam is coming over really well here. Adam is what he is 😄. I was secretly hoping he'd speak like Jacob Rees Mogg though.

I can’t believe they all ignored Harriet’s warning about Rachel.

Looks like something James Bond wore in the early Bond films, 'Italian knitwear' I believe was the description, the other idea is a Thunderbird.

Sam is giving a really good interview.

Something about Sam looked different on Uncloaked.

Like they’re all totally ignoring Jessie’s solid reasoning about Steven

And they all hang on to Rachel’s every word

Sorry, just saw your comment as well.

That was funny on Uncloaked when Adam asked Sam how everyone reacted to his murder and Sam’s face went a bit blank and then he started talking about everyone being more concerned about why Sam hadn’t been murdered.

Stephen’s outfit as ‘Italian knitwear’ would be even more expensive than Jade’s!

Sam comes across so well on Uncloaked; I think he was given the villain edit in the main show. I would have liked to have seen him as a traitor I think.

why is no one wondering why the traitors didn’t recruit?

Has Sam had his fingers in the electric socket? That hair is certainly upstanding.

I agree with pp, Sam coming across very positively but interesting to hear him express some of the same sentiments as Harriet last night about reaching threshold and ready to go home.

It’s a wild outfit but he totally carries it off!

I didn't like him at first but warmed to him. He was great tonight.

Doesn't uncloaked take place weeks or months later?

Loved the sign off from uncloaked 😂

Yes, I think if she could properly gun for Stephen she would and that idea would have gained traction by now.
She clearly finds it exhausting to get her ideas out at the round table and probably can't do the quick interjections that are sometimes needed.

Shiny white teeth

I maintain that Sam and Rachel are connected. His comment about hoping she wins when he found out, plus the fact they left in the edit him saying he wanted to go and see his wife as he was banished.

Also interesting that Adam and Sam confirmed they didn’t know about the Secret Traitor until episode one aired.

Brilliant ending from Uncloaked.

Shinier! They were already shiny enough to start with.

Uncloaked is filmed on the day it airs I believe. All the guests watch the episode together before filming.

Me too!
