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!

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

This has happened last year.

Yes, but their relationship was out in the open

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?

Edited

I thought they sounded pretty similar when they were sitting talking in the library one day. Judy went too soon for anyone to really pick up on it though. Although she did call her Mum in the boat, it was too chaotic for anyone to pick up on it though.

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

Yes Harriet!!!

😂😂😂

Does anyone know where we can find a leak please I really need to know!!!

So annoying BBC, paying for a TV licence but you can't watch all episodes before they are broadcast first.

It's great not just dumping the whole series... Makes it better for the national conversation, taking us back to linear TV, which is what more and more streaming services are doing.

You WANT people to be gossiping, chatting and all joining in a final episode reveal...it's the shared experience that makes the traitors great TV....

If we could all binge it in one night, it would lose it's impact...

hollytheheroic · 22/01/2026 21:36

I am hoping Stephen wins, there's no way they don't keep voting if Rachel is still in it now. But Jack or James would end the game with Stephen still in it. He just needs to get them there.

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 😀

If that question isn’t picked, then follow her stylist Sinead McKeefry on Instagram as she posts it there.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 22/01/2026 21:36

I was thinking that Roxy needs to do some work on herself

she ha survived so much, which is amazing but she’s got some issues with dealing with people

wish her the best

I loved the coat she was wearing on the mission tonight.

I really thought that Stephen was going to vote Rachel. He's redeemed himself.

Not by much though! He’s still responsible for stirring the pot against her when he didn’t need to, Faraaz was already doing that. Stephen’s got to the end on Rachel’s coat tails, and, while they both needed to consider the other might betray them, he panicked like an idiot and went for her too soon.

Popfan · 22/01/2026 21:38

Why didn't we see Roxy open the traitor envelope and her reaction?

I think he was laying the groundwork in case they get her out tomorrow. He can’t be seen to have never spoken about her.

I don't think Stephen's got to the end on Rachel's coat tails, that's unfair. They've made decisions together, he seems a good logical thinker in the turret. They've played well together. She just comes across as a lot steelier.

JudgeJ · 22/01/2026 21:40

Delatron · 22/01/2026 21:15

I think she didn’t want them to show it for some reason…!

I doubt they have any editorial rights though.

FrothyCothy · 22/01/2026 21:41

The secret relationships generate pages and pages of speculation, it’s great PR even if it adds little to the gameplay.

LeatherJacketWedding · 22/01/2026 21:42

Popfan · 22/01/2026 21:38

I’m so annoyed by that!!! Do you think she was too emotional or something? They didn’t even reference it which makes me suspicious…

awaynboilyurheid · 22/01/2026 21:42

Appalonia · 22/01/2026 21:30

Agree. The secret relationships added absolutely nothing.

Agree had zero effect especially when Ellie didn’t even go after Rachel who led the vote against Ross! Honestly no point
Judy saying Roxy did well I’d be shouting fgs she didn’t do well at all thick as mince.

Sorry forgot I was well behind! You've probably all discussed this already.

On Uncloaked bonus Minah says this is the best cast and series yet. Not sure I agree, I think it’s the worst tbh

Her clothes always look
too big and too just out the cellophane to me

I think a lot of the outfits just look ridiculous

I’m assuming you were joking about Stylist…

C8H10N4O2 · 22/01/2026 21:45

DearestItIsSnowing · 22/01/2026 21:36

Does that cover all the clothes from each episode? (Preferably with links in the posts😂)

Claudia is a lot shorter than me but a surprising number of her outfits would work well on tall bodies, especially the coats and oversized jumpers.

I think number 1 was best

I found it hilarious that all the “alpha males” were bawling their eyes out and all the women and gay men were not!!

classic and legendary

I’ve just looked it up. Unless AI is lying and giving me what I want to see, both are from Doncaster. Roxy has been living in Amsterdam so it makes sense if she’s lost the strongest parts of her accent, as I have.

Doncaster is not far from where I grew up which explains why Roxy’s doesn’t sound strong to me.

Nope completely serious. I’m long and lanky and a lot of those oversized clothes work perfectly for me in a way that most clothes (designed for Claudia’s actual height) really don’t.

Cannot wait for tomorrow evening. It was almost painful where it ended tonight!
