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…

No, they’re dead Stephen

Did he get the shield? I mustn’t have been paying attention.

There's not a lot of logic in many of these theories.

Are all of Stephen’s histrionics real or is he really Alan Carr’s cousin?

I would be useless in this cabin.

I was wondering this

I think you need to be a bit dramatic to go on this show.

I'm quite liking James. He's sort of straightforward.

Jessie of the annoying overreactions - I think that's just the shape of her mouth.

stephen Outfit

oh my eyes

What’s Sam on about??

This is by far the funniest challenge ever!

Oh that may be the first 'traitorish' of this series.

Sam can go. He can’t use a fork.

Yep

Ellie's observations are useless

The eating experience always looks so uncomfortable. Could they not at least be given trays?

They’re so easily distracted

The show is so popular, you’d think the BBC would pay for it.

Although this was filmed before the really popular Celebrity version was shown, to stunning ratings. Maybe next series.

Jade has some lovely clothes.

Argh - why is no one considering that just because they didn't know who had shields yesterday that didn't mean the traitors hadn't taken them to stop others from having them? Infuriating.

I hate buffets where you have to do a drink plate balancing act. Always awkward and makes me even more self aware that I’m getting food everywhere. I like a table to hide behind almost

I’m liking James as well.

I wish Jessie would drop the library theory.

Sam went last night didn’t he?

Why is that Interchangeable waddling like that?

There is a lot of Coarse Acting. (A dated reference, possibly)
