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

Ross (Faithful) - Ellie’s boyfriend!
Amanda (Faithful)

Harriet (Faithful)
Sam (Faithful)
Ellie (Faithful)

The floor is yours…

Maybe they will pull a shock and kill poor James. No one would know what to think.

So the final five are?

stephen
rachel
jade
jack
roxy

faraz murdered and james banished next

That would be a good move

Jake series 3 said the words “"Saving lives during the day then killing Faithfuls at night" about Kaz at the round table. Though Joe did go after Kaz as well and could be said to have led the charge.

Some of them seem to care more about their ingroup than themselves at times which is really interesting to see. Like with Ash when she was banished but still wanted to see her traitor boys win. Lots of faithfuls do this, even if incorrect in their theories, where they want to see their fellow faithful win even if they can’t survive so they do their best to throw out their theories before they’re at risk of banishment. It’s fascinating social psychology!

Honestly, Matty on Uncloaked. Just when I have worked out what he looks like, he has changed his hairstyle, grown a 'tache and looks completely different!

Is there a murder tomorrow night?

Just noticed Jade's face when Claudia stabbed the dagger. I do hope that's not how her mother and brother were killed.

I hope that they murder Faraaz because I'm fascinated as to how that would play out the next day.

The reporting was of suicide and her mother and sister but I also thought she said brother.

I’d have reacted the same way seeing that dagger suddenly stabbed into the table.

She is but there’s a twist somehow I feel - she’s promised not to write his name, that’s all .

Would like to see Faraz survive tomorrow.

I think she's done pretty well with all the suspicion on her though. Amanda really screwed her game right from the start with no reason whatsoever.

I suspect not as there is a banishment and then there are five...

I don’t want Faraaz to go. He seems such a sweet lad.

I presumed ' found dead' meant murder/suicide.

You’re right, sorry, I’d misattributed that to Joe. I liked Jake overall as I think his fixation on Linda kept him safe and that was good gameplay but that particular comment was utterly ridiculous and I really felt for poor Kas who didn’t deserve to be so ostracized even if people did suspect him. I’ll knock a mark off Jake’s gameplay now that I’ve been corrected!

Her Mother and Step-son.

Leanne seems pretty struck with him!!

Matt was spot on with the calc that there were two traitors left. I hope he has shared that with Faraaz and Jack. That’s valuable info if they make it to the final five together.

But all of them had that experience, several of them sustained through multiple round tables. She is the only one who has contributed very little and had a tantrum at being accused, promptly voting for her accuser. Sam, for instance came under much more heat, as did Ross and both dealt with it with good humour and accepting it as part of the game.
This was exactly what Faraz pointed out at the RT and if I were Rachel I’d be tempted to murder Faraz and remind everyone of that at the RT (unless James was a shoein)

I think jades mum murdered her child (jade’s sibling) and then killed herself

I think Stephen has cleverly twisted it. Rachel is in genuine trouble for the first time and Stephen smells blood in the water. He's looking for a way to vote for her and is trying to make her look disloyal, when its him planning to betray her. I feel sorry for her, she's worked hard to deflect suspicion from him.

That’s obvious though

because if a traitor was banished on round table 10 the game would be over

He’s gay and she’s a lesbian so I don’t think there’s any fancying going on if that’s what you mean.

James is such an oddball. His mannerisms are wild but also very funny.
