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 floor is yours…

Just caught up on this thread.

I agree. Faraaz had to say something as like you say he was the obvious pick - he’s made it more difficult for them now, but they might still murder him…which is a shame as he’s the strongest faithful left in my opinion.

I have everything crossed they murder Roxy to frame James for banishment instead. If Faraaz stays I think it could be a faithful win.

That is a good point in Faraaz’s favour, if they murder him who could they frame as having the motive? If Faraaz isn’t murdered though, I fear for him at the round table as we know that doesn’t go well for people who are on to Rachel!

Sorry edited as I guess they’d be framing Rachel and then claiming it as “too obvious”

Faraz had to say something tonight otherwise he was the obvious choice for murder. Jade and James have so much heat on them , Jack had the shield. Even if he does gets murdered, at least he has planted a seed.

Also can't believe how different Matty looked. He reminded me of Emmet J Scanlon tonight

I'd love it if Faaraz and Jack won!

Roxy, Jade and James- all just annoying for different reasons.

I know its the game and the edit but I find Rachel hard to warm to/ root for although I agree she's played well.

I think they will kill Faaraz and say "oh this is to implicate Rachel" and somehow the faithful will swallow it!

I would like to see Jack & Faraaz as the final 2 x Faithful with Rachel & Stephen as Traitors. Then let battle between Traitors begin, while J & F watch!

I think, to have a chance of winning, the traitors need to have Roxy and/or Jade in the final. I think Jack would suss them out (he’s had the conversation about Rachel with Jack). Roxy seems blinded by Rachel and she’s none too bright.

I wonder if Roxy hoped she would have her mum with her for much longer than she did, and is quietly adrift in later programmes because didn’t. Even if they were assigned different roles in the game her mum would have been there supporting her.

I think it’s funny that one of the justifications Faraaz is using is that Rachel and Fiona had a private chat, and Fiona didn’t do private chats, so they must have been close.

They hated each other since the first all-traitor turret.

I've done a full turnaround.
Rachel deserves to win. So this Stephen.
They have played an incredible game.
I have said all along that either of them would throw each other under the bus at the end, but I believe now that Rachel won't do that but Stephen will.......
Its fascinating to watch how he is already justifying it. He's so strategic and Rachel is excellent at managing situations. An excellent team but Stephen doesn't want to win as a team.....

The weakest and worst faithfuls usually end up winning but it wouild be a complete injustice if Roxy, Jade, Jack or James won.

Although I hope not, I think you may be right- this lot of faithfuls are just going to lap up everything that Rachel and Stephen tell them. They’ll likely whisper around that James, who conveniently has the heat on him, had it in for Faraz so James must be traitor.

😂😂😂😂

Do you mean that Faraz disclosed Rachel theory to Jack? Hoping if Faz goes Jack will suss it out.
Has Faz suspected Stephen?

This is Rachel’s face when Faraz is telling her he thinks it might be her. And then she just goes…..’ok’ 😂

I think murdering Faraaz is the only logical choice - and I don't think it'll bring much heat on Rachel actually. If he'd just said it to one or two people maybe that would bring the suspicion, but he said it to everyone so if course it makes sense the traitors would try and frame Rachel.

I also don't think Rachel meant she was going to turn on Stephen - maybe I'm naive but I think she really means to win it together. I just think she's saying there's no way they can continue to not even talk about each other with so few of them left in the game. I'd love to see both of them win it!

Agree Rachel to win she has played a blinder so far. Stephen is now justifying throwing her under the bus. Think she will get rid of Faz and say she was framed.

Am I right in thinking Roxy has never disclosed that Judy was her mum?

No shecdidnt even when she spoke about her adoption at the dinner she never said.

Thoroughly enjoying it all! When is Uncloaked filmed? DP and I are trying to figure it out, sorry if this has already been covered and I’ve missed it.

Do they watch it an hour ahead of everyone else and film it on the day to avoid leaks? Obviously the production crew know to book the right guests! But they can’t let them all watch it months in advance…

I’m very much enjoying the clothing choices on this series. Claudia’s swing camel coat for the fairground mission was divine, and as for Stephen’s ‘anyone for tennis’ outfit today - brilliant. Fascinated by some of them being dressed for an arctic winter and others swanning about in tiny summer outfits.

Faraaz to be murdered tonight, but most importantly, what jumpsuit is Stephen going to wear to throw Rachel under the bus?

I agree about the clothes. Stephen’s clothes are so original, beautifully made and really suit him. I love Claudia’s clothes too , but I wish she would drop the caked orange make up . It’s ageing and doesn’t look good at all.

It’s the first series where I’ve wanted the traitors to win. They’ve been brilliant whilst still coming across as decent people.

She's said it's designed to desexualise her. She's trying to look distinctive and perhaps a touch severe, not beautiful (although she is beautiful).

That's interesting @ThatCyanCat . Do you mean the clothes or the orange make up?

I’ve been underwhelmed by Claudia’s wardrobe this series, some great pieces but not as amazing as previous seasons.

I love that Faraz just woke up, I’m rooting for him and Jack now even though I was barely aware of Jack before. It’s strange how Jack has never been accused at the round table.

I love Stephen and I’d be up for a traitor win if he can dump Rachel, as I think she’s planning that for him. I just don’t trust her.

We were laughing at the repeated use of the mangled phrase by James and someone else at the round table (maybe Jack)

”I’m sticking with my guns and voting for yourself”

😆

The makeup, although I suppose the clothes have to go with it. It's an amazing mix of goth and Scottish country castle lady. It makes me sadder than ever that there's only two things I can wear with my shape!
