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 liked Adam. I'd like to have seen more of him.

I thought that as well! Cheeky of them!

I swear the first time I ever saw Adam in it was yesterday.

Jessie is starting to get right on my wick now

wtf is Stephen wearing?!

Wow Steven’s outfit is out there!

She’s right in that context. To go back and sneakily take one and then blurt it out to someone later is definitely more faithful behaviour than traitor.

I don't see why Roxy asked James to explain himself then talked all over him.

James is toast but only if the faithfuls can remember what he did by RT time. Based on previous nights, James is safe 😀

Reckon it will be a James is mentioned loads at round table but no one votes for him

What the hell is Stephen wearing?

Me too! When he was sitting next to Harriet at breakfast.

Top outfits, Stephen and Jade.

Of course, but she’s more ruthless than most IMO. I sense a disingenuous streak…

Isn’t it just?!!

On a different note, i love cabin missions

Same. He seemed pretty funny from the little we saw of him.

The traitors were very lucky.

Lots of them wear very vivid colours this series. Looks like beige and chocolate are out now. No bad thing.

Stephen’s outfit reminds me of racing car mechanics in the 1970s.

Stephen is dressed like my kids' Pokemon balls.

This series feels far more produced and the contestants seem to have stylists.

Me too. Never really got to know him - he had hardly any air time.

They have nothing to go on so really look
for sny small excuse to banish someone

so james has made himself a target

Yesss!

It is a bit how many of them like Jade and Faraaz aren’t getting much airtime

I feel sympathetic towards James.

He made a selfish decision which went against the team's decision but he did own up when they got back to the castle and then owned up again at breakfast.

I think his ADHD and impulsivity play a part in his behaviour.
