Welcome to Thread 11 of Traitors 2026.

The floor is yours…

I think this series has been better than last year.

I cannot remember who won last year or much about it. I think I stopped watching it before the end.

Completely agree. It’s been nice to chat here and to talk at work about it too.

The secret traitor, the secret relationships, the mysterious family tree painting… they’ve all been total damp squibs really haven’t they?

And in the whole series, what with the secret traitor nonsense and then giving out six or seven shields every mission and then having “no murder tonight” two or three times, how many times did Rachel and Stephen get to choose who they wanted to murder? About twice or something?

I hope they stop all the gimmicks next time and just play the game properly - that would be the biggest twist they could think of.

Pretty much! She often @‘s the brand.

By the way if anyone hasn’t read Claudia’s book ‘Quite’ I would recommend it.

I have the same question! So disappointing!

But yes I can only guess she was too emotional, I feel bad for her!

@Popfan @LeatherJacketWedding @Neverendingillness5 I think @MatchaMelt has it right that her video would also reveal who lost the chest of chance banishment so they can't show it yet....

Maybe Rachel is banished and Roxy opens the envelop with Rachel in the room rather than to camera so they've saved that for tomorrow???

I noticed this too. I wondered if she broke down or something so they didn’t show it. Can’t think what else it might have been.

It would not build the audience it has without the gaps to speculate and tension and cliff hangers. I cannot see it having half the success if dropped as a boxed set.

Oh this makes sense

Finally all caught up. Bloody cliffhanger!

And yes I fully expect their to be one more thread - We’ve got to finish on an “End Game” title!

For me S2 is still the best as an overall series - wannabe evil genius Paul; iconic Diane and “But Ross is”; plus Jazatha Christie!

Traitor wise I still think Amanda and Minah are my favourites, particularly Amanda and her comment to Wilf about remembering what animal is on the Welsh flag!

Perhaps you’re right, I’m just a bit annoyed at him right now lol! I do think Rachel was by far the stronger of the two of them though, and that benefited him greatly.

Possibly, links to the designers rather than the exact clothes, though.

I think they tend to be from slightly earlier seasons, (this makes sense as it was filmed a few months ago) and can be unavailable now so can’t be linked.

I’ve taken some screenshots, which should give you an idea of what the posts say.

Roxy shouldn’t have been on the show if it is true that she broke down when finding out who the traitors were. (Which it might not be but is a believable scenario).

Who would be in your 'all stars' traitors cast...? As in if they did a mishmash of the UK seasons so far.

Yes it's this. Because if it was anyone but one of the traitors in the room with her, production could edit it to hide the other person whilst still showing her reaction. To anyone else she'd say "Rachel???!" but she wouldn't say that to Rachel.

I didn’t think they were oversized on purpose - just too big for her

o don’t think you need her stylist - nothing too sophisticated there

I agree it's the least interesting.

@ABoldSubmission @Lilactimes which is a bit short sighted of them really. Could have filmed Roxy by herself like they did with Ross.

Oh yes it does actually.

Highly suspect that Jade would change her mind. Nevertheless, I'll continue watching.

Faaraz is the winner for me. Enjoy the car!

She would have sat opposite James or Rachel

S 2 was iconic. So many interesting players, and of course a Traitor win. S 1 Australia was amazing too.

Did anyone hear “Geord-ia Winkle-hereman” on Scott Mills this morning? Loved it so much!
