Welcome to Thread 9 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.

That photo of Leanne at the end reminded me of 'Friends' when Ross over-whitened his teeth and they glowed in the dark.

cariadlet · 16/01/2026 21:33

Ross and Ellie are a lovely couple.

dapsnotplimsolls · 16/01/2026 21:33

I hope Ross, Ellie and Jessie stay friends.

Next Uncloaked is Kate Garraway and S3 winners Jake and Leanne.

Not sure if that tells us anything.

One of the ones who’s thick as mince and useless at missions will go out…

Don’t you think the game is biased towards the Traitors? Think the Traitors have one each series.

If you mean won, the Faithful won last series and in S 1. This bunch absolutely don't deserve to win though.

Ross and Ellie are a lovely couple.

If they have kids they’ll be as tall as Gary Barlow’s son

Perhaps that Roxy is out as she is thick and useless like Kate Garraway

Despite being so influential, and having been trained by the FBI, why is no one questioning how Rachel hasn’t voted for any traitors apart from Fiona (which she basically had to do).

Personally I am struggling to warm to Rachel.

Didn't she vote for Hugo too?

They’re all unlikeable. It’s a shame.

Oh but Stephen is adorable. I just want to pop him in my pocket and stroke/feed him now and then, like my own little Tamagotchi.

They haven’t won every series and yes they have a control advantage but they have a numeric disadvantage - usually 18-3. I’d say its a tougher role to maintain than faithful.

This time the ST wiped out a chunk of their control advantage so if Rachel/Stephen win it will be very deserved.

He won me over with that jumpsuit!

Rachel didn’t vote for Fiona

I like James. He’s like an overexcited Golden Retriever

dapsnotplimsolls · 16/01/2026 21:38

James has definitely grown on me. Apart from the sneaky shield thing.

LighthouseLED · 16/01/2026 21:38

Yes she did. She didn’t vote for Hugo, though.

I think this series has been harder for the Traitos than any other, thy've had so many curveballs and the two left have been solid. They desrve to win.

I've jinxed Stephen now, haven't I?

WonderfulSmith · 16/01/2026 21:39

Ross was so lovely. I can see him ending up with some kind of presenting career after this.

H202too · 16/01/2026 21:39

Since they all follow Rachel may as well give it to her.

pouletvous · 16/01/2026 21:39

In a post on her Instagram (dr_ellieb) Ellie says she used to work in adult autism assessment services in the NHS and her PhD focused on the employment experiences of neurodivergent people.

That’s why she was attracted to Ross

I think Rachel is playing it exactly how a traitor should, Doesn't matter if you like her or not. The Faithfuls obviously do.

dapsnotplimsolls · 16/01/2026 21:40

I haven't warmed to Rachel but she's played a great game.

Trixibell1234 · 16/01/2026 21:40

The @AlwaysRightISwear and @Teabing wikipedia tells me Rachel has voted Ross, Ross, Ross, Sam, Reece, Fiona, Harriet, Ellie.

It's not why I'm attracted to Ross.
