Welcome to Thread 11 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 - this is a mid episode thread change so do not read on if you are not up to date with the live broadcast!

The floor is yours…

So don't be then. Some thoughts should remain in your head.

I wondered if they didn’t show Roxy’s reaction because she was so upset

It’s silly to think you are there to make friends… friendships may come later but to be angry at a fellow contestant for being a traitor (as you thought you were friends) is ridiculous.

I feel the final is going to be quite boring. If Rachel stays she’ll be next out but then they need the numbers for Stephen and that doesn’t seem likely so a traitor win seems more likely. James is adamant he’s a faithful, Jade likely thinks James over Stephen. I’m not sure Jack is convinced on Stephen.

The young woman who lost to a faithful in an American version was devastated at the end as she really trusted the woman who turned out to be a traitor.

( tho she wanted the money to remove her breasts as she was non binary, so it was a blessing that she didn't win, IMO..)

Yeah, I really didn’t like that. Harry was a thoroughly deserving winner but I did not like the effect that t had on Molly - that’s not light entertainment for me - and if Roxy was very upset then hopefully it means the program makers learnt their lesson and chose to keep it from broadcast.

Yep, my point was that two things can be true.
Its a game, they know the name of the game. Some of them plainly forge longer lasting friendships borne out of that experience.

They haven't played when Roxy opened the envelope on Traitors Ubcloaked. Maybe that comes after the next banishment.

Oh don’t be naive

look at Hilary! She lost it…

I wish they’d stop with secret connections unless they’re actually going to use them in some way. They bore me. All the guesses on these threads and elsewhere should show how hard it is to be a faithful in this game. People become absolutely convinced over e.g. Jessie and Jack and point to behaviours that they think are evidence of them knowing one another. And we aren’t even told to look for connections. The faithful know they need to look for traitors so it’s no surprise they latch on to small behaviours as evidence considering viewers are doing the same thing.

Agree. The secret relationships added absolutely nothing.

They never do

Sigh, off to fill 23 hours 😆

"Hillary" - do you mean Harriet or is this someone from a previous season I've forgotten about?

I'm not being naive. Don't go on the show if you can't handle someone lying to you. When the whole show is built on lies.

I guess I've had many experiences where I've made wonderful friends (not on TV shows 😂) in a very short space of time (short term work contracts, holidays, volunteering abroad) and they're lifelong friends. We can build bonds very quickly.

If you're trying to say that it's silly to trust someone isn't a Traitor just because you like them, then absolutely.

But being upset that two people you trusted (even naively) were lying to your face is understandable. She clearly wears her heart on her sleeve bless her!

I know I’ve sat through all that for nothing

She shouldn't have been on the show. Way too fragile.

‘but Ross is’ will always be iconic.

all the others however… nope

Me too

Nice to see Judy on Uncloaked. I’d have liked to have seen how her relationship/game with Roxy could have played out.

I like the family relationships: I can take or leave the boyfriend/girlfriend ones.

I’m not good at accents, I’m a Northerner who has lived in the South for a long time and I can miss subtle Northern. But, to me, Judy and Roxy’s accents are quite different, and not subtle. What do others think?

Oh viewers can send in questions for Claudia for the live Uncloaked tomorrow - perhaps we should just ask her to make her styling list available 😀

It would be so much more interesting for the relationships if one was a traitor and one not
