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…

You have seen what the producers wanted you to see.

Pretty sure that's what Stephen will be wearing if he makes it to the final!

Completely agree it’s their role. He went too far though, making it much more personal somehow than I’ve seen any other ‘relationship’ on the show. Yes, it’s been uncomfortable to watch her sometimes.

I don't think he went too far during the show. She was just very gullible and forgot why they were all in there. The only thing I would judge him for is that after he won, he promised her a holiday. He never delivered on that promise. She brushed it off and said she never expected him to but I thought that was pretty shit behaviour and he should not have promised if he had no intention of keeping it.

It was Molly's fault for forgetting it was a game and that is Harry was a traitor, he had to say he wasn't!

I thought he was a coquettish milkmaid?

scarlett o hara and gone with the wind !

just an old saying of mine !

I thought she declined the offer.

Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.

No she didn't decline it.

But with Jack protected by the shield he probably realised that he could be murdered anyway.

By openly accusing Rachel she knows there’s a risk to her if he gets murdered - without the accusation there’s no reason to think Rachel would be his murderer

though with this lot they seem to have complete amnesia about anything that happened before breakfast today 😂

I'm scratching my head trying to think of when a family or boyfriend/girlfriend connection enhanced the game in any way. It was a relief to be spared that bollocks in the celeb version.

I fear for Faraz. This BBC clip shows James looking very uncomfortable when Faraz confronts Rachel with suspecting her.
So even if they don’t murder Faraz, the traitors will sow distrust against him for suddenly piping up with these theories indicating traitorous behaviour by him.
And of course people like James (although he voted Rachel as best traitor in the box game) will look away despite obvious sense or their own intuition and vote against Faraz.

In addition, I think Rachel and Stephen have become quite emboldened by how dim these faithfuls are and especially how nothing seems to stick against Rachel.
I do think Faraz is a goner.

I’m going to be a bit behind tonight as my son doesn’t get back from Cubs until 8 and will need chivvying into bed!

Were going to need a mid-episode thread changeover so I’ll keep an eye on the post count on this one and will put a new one up around the 950 mark so that people have time to swap over.

Nearly there!

😂😂😂

I feel a change in clothes is a good distraction strategy for anyone under heat - seems to be working so far 😆😂

patiently waiting for traitors to start and watching eastenders for the first time in about 20 years. Who’s the guy in the cardigan that Phil Mitchell was just talking to? He looks really familiar but I can’t place him.

Just turned it on and Phil is still crying and Ian Beale is still shouting at someone!

Here we go.

I think Faraaz is gone isn’t he? Although I do hope not. I like him.

I missed a lot of this thread as I’ve been at work.

Oh shut up Jack.

I wouldn’t judge affluence on their age - both Ellie and Jade come from wealthy backgrounds, Ben was the oldest and was a retired merchant seaman.

I incline to wanting someone who has never had a crack at that kind of money to win but we really don’t know their financial situation so mostly I want the best players to win

Oooh Stephen.
