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.

The story so far <spoiler warning if you haven’t seen the start of episode 9>

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

James is lovely.

I even forgive him for the shield thing. He's so useless at being duplicitous that he went to his group and 'fessed up at the first opportunity. Then admitted it was him at breakfast even though his group said that they would stick with the original plan and not say who had a shield and weren't going to dob him in.

CarminaBiryani · 16/01/2026 21:42

I feel like Stephen is like Alan Carr now, he could literally have traitor on his back and they'd think he was faithful.

One what?

traitors cant be murdered so have an advantage

The traitors have won in each series as far as I am aware. No faithfuls have won the money.

Is he the gardener? I can see him doing his own gardening show or podcast. Particularly for kids.

No. Faithfuls won last season and S1.

S1 the faithfuls won but only because Kieran gave the game away

Faraz mentioned his sister. Roxy is adopted, could they be adopted siblings?

Na that would be too many connections - and he said his family was Muslim too

Traitors have only won in S2 and the celebrity version

Yes, I’m not sure whether those faithfuls or these are the most clueless!

Warmed to Roxy for a moment there even if she is the dimmest lightbulb in the room.

I didn't 😁

ThatCyanCat · 16/01/2026 21:45

I wonder how often, over all series everywhere, original Traitors win vs recruited ones.

S 1 faithfuls take the clueless prize. though the grand prize goes to the faithful of S2 Traitors Australia.

I don't want to know specifics - I haven't seen all of the non-UK ones!

HK04 · 16/01/2026 21:48

Don’t want to win…

Rachel ❎
Stephen ❎
Matthew ❎

Wouldn’t mind them winning:

Jack ✔️
Farazz ✔️
Roxy ✔️

Top two would like to win:

Jade ✔️✔️
James ✔️✔️

How ‘bout you? 🤔

ThatCyanCat · 16/01/2026 21:48

EdithBond · 16/01/2026 21:35

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

Jessie's right, though... they'll be absolutely beautiful. Two very good looking people.

Louielovecharlotte · 16/01/2026 21:48

ThePoshUns · 16/01/2026 20:50

I do think Faraaz and Maz are father and son.

Na their bone structure completely different

EchoedSilence · 16/01/2026 21:48

To be a good traitor you have to gain the respect of the faithful. I think both Rachel and Stephen have done that. So far, anyway.

pouletvous · 16/01/2026 21:49

@Advocodo

wrll make sure you watched uncloaked next Wednesday with leanne and wotsit from
last year

This page will show you for the UK. The site has all the other franchises but the sections are quite well segregated to avoid spoilers.

pouletvous · 16/01/2026 21:50

There was an American one i saw where nobody won anything. I think that was unique

hollytheheroic · 16/01/2026 21:50

I wouldn't mind Rachel and Stephen winning but I don't think Stephen will survive the last vote if he's still there. I'd like James to win. If any of the others win it won't be through skill (well not James either to be fair) so it seems a bit unfair. Jessie should have won!

LighthouseLED · 16/01/2026 21:51

I don’t want Roxy or Jack to win but wouldn’t mind any of the others,

C8H10N4O2 · 16/01/2026 21:51

I want Rachel and Stephen to win. I think the biggest risk to Rachel is if she loses Stephen and is forced to recruit.

CharlotteRumpling · 16/01/2026 21:52

Harriet would have been a worthy winner up until the time she fell on her sword.
