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 floor is yours…

I'd give the dagger to James. He's so scatter brained he'd probably vote for the wall

Three votes between Stephen and Rachel.

How many contestants are left now?

And how many in total?

It’s hardly a reunion with Ross. I’m guessing she’s seen him since (unless he was waiting in the castle)

If they give it to themselves then it has to be Rachel, surely they wouldn’t put Stephen under even a smidge more pressure.

9 I think??

There’s 8

8

Ahhh.

They would be mad to give the dagger away - 3 votes from a pool of 8, all they need to do is latch on to whichever faithful is under suspicion and that person is toast.

I’d give it to Stephen as half of the sheep already believe he is a traitor target.

How many more banishments are there after tomorrow? Just the one?

Claudia said there were 8 left when she came into the dining room.

Interesting about Matt's memory and him being a chess player. Some of the really strong players have amazing memories.

@pouletvous I just need to say I love your username😅

Question: if the producers do psychological tests on prospective candidates, why have they chosen so many fragile contestants with genuine trauma??

8 means double vote won’t save anyone under majority fire.

Jessie, Queen of over-reacting

Glad Jessie has gone just for the overreactions

I know!!!!!!!

Stephen wasn't right when he said 3 votes would be enough to get rid of anyone, was he? He's so good with numbers that I'm doubting myself, but it can't be. 6 other people could all go for someone else. Unless he means because of how spread their votes are?

Back to the Jack in the Box mission, I’d have looked at who had more mud on their shoes. Been raining a lot.

They'd all been walking across the field.

Someone shut Jessie up please

I assume they have chosen people who passed the resilience assessments and still want to play the game. If you put 22 people of mixed ages in a room those who have not experienced life’s scars will be the minority in reality so I’d guess the assessment is to select those who have coped with or come to terms with life's bricks.

If you knew it was Stephen. Ellie, why didn't you say?

Good god Jessie is ridiculous. Can she stop screaming and falling off the chair!
