Welcome to Thread 10 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:

Traitors
Hugo
Rachel
Stephen
Fiona (Secret Traitor)

Murdered
Netty
Ben
Maz
Reece
Adam
Jessie

Banished

Hugo (Traitor)
Ross (Faithful) - Ellie’s boyfriend!
Amanda (Faithful)
Fiona (Traitor)
Harriet (Faithful)
Sam (Faithful)
Ellie (Faithful)

The floor is yours…

Rachel has been a factor in Stephen surviving banishment more than once - if he is smart he will agree with her. They both need to be prepared to seem to listen and take seriously accusations against the other but later come back and say “really think its X rather than Y”.

I don't know. Faraaz said to Rachel she couldn't murder him now he's accused her, so all she needs to do is successfully turn that around and say that he suddenly accused her and the traitors have thought, oh good let's murder him and she'll get the blame.

I feel that whoever wins this year I'll be happy. The traitors have played a good game and the faithful are finally putting the pieces together. They have voted out everyone that I didn't warm to and we are left with people who can be civilised whilst discussing things round the table and holding their own.

I think Rachel worried Stephen because he didn't listen to what she said with her promise in mind but we shall see.

I honestly think Rachel is going to be true to her word

Rachel obviously has stephen's back, she's the nicest and most loyal traitor that ever been in it!

That would force Stephen into recruiting instead of being able to murder - he would be mad to let hat happen

I'll be annoyed if Roxy or Jack win.

Want Faraaz in the final. But I’m worried he’s mucked it. Shouldn’t have stuck his head above the parapet until there’s no more murders.

But maybe he suspected they’d murder him if he didn’t try to protect himself.

Maybe they’ll murder Roxy to get James banished.

Or Stephen persuades Rachel to murder Faraaz to get Rachel banished?

Also it’s traitors where anything is talked about the day before, seems to be forgotten by the next day. More often than not.

Oh very good point.

I started typing this and MN was being super slow. Just wanted to say I thought it was a good point cos yeah he was being overtly obvious, like whe he said “I’d never steal a shield!”. But now we know he wasn’t doing that. Crazy how they all turn on each other with such conviction. It’s really sad actually. Didn’t feel sorry for James crying at the end. He got too personal to Matt at the RT.

I think they have to murder Faraaz as it's so late in the game to leave him in.

I really want Roxy to go, though, she annoys me.

I can’t stand Roxy or Jade.

This is the way

Faraz was the obvious murder and he knew it, I think saying all this is his last ditch attempt to save himself.

Am I the only one who thinks Rachel isn't going to go for Stephen? Or at least not unless he goes for her first

I would be disappointed if Jade won after such a completely lack lustre performance all the way through - Faraz and Mattie were both spot on about her even though she isn’t a traitor.

For the rest - I’d still like the traitors to win but I agree most of the passengers have gone.

I would hate Roxy to win. She's been so wrong so many times.

I think I’m the only person in the country that liked them

I think he took what she said the wrong way and now he’s not sure he can trust her .

The path to the final is pretty well laid out for them now.

Murder Roxy, which frames James.

James out tomorrow night. Job done.

@AmazingBees

i dont think she will. but i don’t see how they can both win

I think jack should win

Nice Tweed three piece suit Matty. Very Sherlock.

I liked Leanne - she played a blinder letting people lean into their stereotypes and underestimate her. I had no strong feelings about Jake.

I thought they’d murder Faraaz and I think maybe he thought the same hence calling out the traitors and accusing Rachel and saying ‘don’t murder me’.

So I think they’ll murder Roxy as she is easily persuaded and could go for Rachel.

The traitors will then hope James is voted out…
