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.

Explains why Jade is so self contained

It really does. So often the case.

the80sweregreat · 16/01/2026 20:53

Poor Jade :(
That’s so sad

jay55 · 16/01/2026 20:53

Poor Jade. Ugh.

Silverbirchleaf · 16/01/2026 20:53

Missed what Jade said.

Knew they’d be discussing the prize money at this meal.

WonderfulSmith · 16/01/2026 20:53

Did she say her mum was in Hong Kong when she died? That’s so hard her being so far away.

Yes, and her half brother 😥

IVotedForYourself · 16/01/2026 20:51

Omg Jade 💔

And she was only a teenager in 2018 💔

CrushingOnRubies · 16/01/2026 20:54

poor Jade. That explains a lot about her hardened personality

Passingthrough123 · 16/01/2026 20:54

EchoedSilence · 16/01/2026 20:52

Because she's an amazing Traitor.

Is she amazing or are the Faithful just completely crap?

SwedishEdith · 16/01/2026 20:54

ThePoshUns · 16/01/2026 20:50

I do think Faraaz and Maz are father and son.

They do look alike.

Matildahoney · 16/01/2026 20:54

Surely they absolutely have to look at Stephen now?! There is so much against him and they're just ignoring it!

ThatCyanCat · 16/01/2026 20:54

Silverbirchleaf · 16/01/2026 20:53

Missed what Jade said.

Knew they’d be discussing the prize money at this meal.

Her parents divorced when she was a child, her mother moved back to Hong Kong, had a baby and in 2018 they were both found dead.

Dear God, poor girl.

RainbowSnake · 16/01/2026 20:55

Are they going from all these emotional chats straight into whatever this sting in the pudding is? There’s not much of a cliffhanger going on otherwise but it seems quite a dramatic jump if so.

IHadaMarvelousTimeRuiningEverything · 16/01/2026 20:55

Needtosoundoffandbreathe · 16/01/2026 20:46

Because she takes control and speaks authoritatively without getting emotional. She usually goes first at the RTs so she controls the narrative much of the time. She didn't do it tonight because she was inviting infighting amongst the faithfuls so as not to attract attention to Stephen.

So far she seems to be quite supportive of Stephen (when she can) which I'm impressed by.

EchoedSilence · 16/01/2026 20:55

Passingthrough123 · 16/01/2026 20:54

She's hoodwinked them all to respect and like her, so, yes. I think she's a brilliant traitor.

pouletvous · 16/01/2026 20:55

all the sob stories are annoying

It feels strategic, though, cynically.

When the shit hits the fan, she'll dump him.

Appalonia · 16/01/2026 20:56

God I'm so shallow, I'd just like some nice clothes and a fab holiday!😂

I’d have to think of something that sounded deep

Tiddlywinky · 16/01/2026 20:56

Sorry, I missed a bit. Why are you ll feeling sorry for Jade?

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 16/01/2026 20:56

But just like everyone else Rachel has a compelling reason to want to win

TraitorsFan · 16/01/2026 20:57

C8H10N4O2 · 16/01/2026 20:44

Studying for one I thought she said rather than doctored?

She might be studying for a PhD in a STEM subject, which I imagine doesn’t need you to be good with words.

An in-law of mine doesn’t speak with conventionally perfect English, but they have a PhD in a science subject and is perfectly clear in what they say.

Brownbananaspot · 16/01/2026 20:57

pouletvous · 16/01/2026 20:55

Yeah im not fussed about it at all. Just get on with the murdering and banishing!

AlwaysRightISwear · 16/01/2026 20:57

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

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 16/01/2026 20:57

Her Mum and sibling were found dead in Hong Kong
