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.

Towards the end they don’t reveal whether they’re traitor or faithful as they leave, so they end up having to go on a feeling that they’ve banished the right people. At some point Stephen and Rachel need to make an alliance with one faithful and act convinced that the three of them are the only faithful remaining.

Have they confirmed they’re doing that this year? Last year was the first time they did it and I seem to remember Claudia mentioning that during the first episode or somewhere early on but I don’t remember anything being said either way this year.

I hope so, the only series to my knowledge where they didn’t do this is the first series (I’ve only watched the UK series) so I thought it was decided it was better not to reveal towards the end.

Am shouting at the screen in annoyance each evening at the moment. Rachel is blindingly obviously manipulative about everyone and all we get is 'a feeling I can't shake' about Jade.

This!! Her 'I know who is it is but I am not saying until the round table' was so obviously strategic I can't believe she got away with it again.
Previous faithfuls have said and done similar and have been wrongly accused of traiterous behaviour! How can they not see it??

Giles who?

I'm sure I read that GC searches for himself so love that there's a "Giles who?" post 🤭

They didn’t do it in UK season 2 either. I’ve seen them do it both ways in international series so I’m not sure what the plan is for this one. I suppose it depends whether they think it was a positive addition last year or not.

I know who shot JR and I know how Bobby
" died " !!

Re celeb traitors ...Chris Ramsey was so up for it when he was on Uncloaked the other night.
He would be fun .

Thread moves so fast so not sure if mentioned,
but Traitors Ireland is starting next week.

You have to hunt for it though !

Friday at midnight and 1 am (Saturday)
And then BBC 3 9 pm. For all of the episodes .

I thought the same regarding Chris Ramsey.

Hi Giles 😘

Carol52 · 19/01/2026 20:55

Are all these players thick. Fiona and Harriett basically spelt it out for them and they still go back to Amanda who was no good at all. This bunch are the worst ever but it is still entertaining

Womaninhouse17 · 19/01/2026 09:01

I remember them eating breakfast outside, usually in a gale force wind. I think Terry Wogan commented on it.

If you really want to feel old… Terry Wogan died 10 years ago this month. There will be posters on here who don’t know who he is.

LighthouseLED · 19/01/2026 21:17

JaneJeffer · 19/01/2026 16:57

Cue the where did he get that jumper posts
(doubtful)

Noooo

There have been enough dodgy jumpers in this series with Matthew

I feel old enough already, thanks!

Specialagentblond · 19/01/2026 21:27

Another one here thinking why are the faithfuls not questioning why an FBI trained faithful has not been mirdered by the traitors? And why she was so brazen to admit it and not be worried she’d be voted out for it.

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 19/01/2026 22:00

They just must all know she is a traitor...it's the only thing that explains it

Everyone remembers Sir Terry, surely?

It just sounded like complete bollocks! Why did they just all skirt over it? Including Stephen?

Looking forward to Weds Thurs and Friday Traitors hugely!

Ooo is it on every day?

butimamonstersaidthemonster · 18/01/2026 13:00

I am going to lose it if people start with the ‘why am I still here?’ ‘Who’s keeping me in’. You’re still here because the traitors forgot you existed.

Sadly it's started already!

Every year, in every version (well the ones ive watched) without fail. It's pretty much the shibboleth of a Rubbish Faithful!!

You would have thought at this stage if you were in the game and still in, and a Faithful, you'd start to think "hmmm in other series it's mostky only the Rubbish Faithful left in. Then ask, not why an i still in, but why others are.

I do however think getting it wrong with her voting is a tactic of Rachel's - llook like a Rubbish Faithful.

In my next life, I want to have that quality of people simply eating out of my hand whatever I say. Talk about a useful life skill!

I think you can probably study & learn it. Derren Brown, etc.
