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…

I think it would have been better not to know who had the dagger until the RT, Claudia announces the votes but then says 'But XXX had the dagger so his/her vote counts double!'

Agree that the secret relationships have not been interesting at all

not helped by the fact judy and ross were banished so early

@JudgeJ ooooooo I like that! Though I think they're trying to maximise the chaos, so from a viewing perspective it's better to get it out early and watch them go at it.

I really liked today’s episode and have revised my opinion that Stephen was being weak as he played a great game today. I hope James stays in although on balance Rachel deserves it more.

Yes I actually started writing in my post that they could have filmed her on her own and maybe they did ... But I think practically they set it up so they film 2 at once now and they probably wanted the interaction between the banished and Roxy.

It will be interesting tomorrow if they show it on Uncloaked but they may not since it'll be the final and bigger things to talk about, and it would mean them showing it without Roxy there. Do they do a live 'reunion' show or part still? I know they did for S1. If so they may show it then.

Its not about looking for sophistication - I’m always interested in everyday clothes which work on tall bodies. Most clothes on the high street do not work on me so I’m simply interested in where they come from if I see some on TV.

@ABoldSubmission I think a lot of the cast are often in the audience?! Only the final 5 and Claudia on the sofas! I guess maybe the final 6 this time...

Oooohhhh, I thought his parting shot was much stronger than Rachel's. He said it made no sense for her not to have been murdered by now, which no one else has said so far and makes a really strong and logical point.

Rachel on the other hand lost her famous cool earlier at the round table and went on the attack when under pressure, and when pleading her case came out with nothing new.

I'm actually really surprised she wasn't voted out, and even more surprised that Stephen didn't vote for her in the second round when he is putting himself at risk for supporting her if she turns out to be a traitor. I suppose that explains why he was sharing suspicions about her earlier in the day, so that he could vote for James with more confidence.

Have to say I think I'm as excited to see Claudia on uncloaked as I am about the final. I love it when she finally gets to drop the poker face (though she did that after Matt too!!) and chat!

I suppose that explains why he was sharing suspicions about her earlier in the day, so that he could vote for James with more confidence.

@Beachtastic Yes, there's a quiet intelligence to a lot of Stephen's play. He did tell Rachel he as going to mention her name so as not to look suspicious. And this is after she said she'd be mentioning his.

It will be because she does it with the banished person who we haven't seen yet.

Feel like this editing has really messed up uncloaked as they will have 5 to interview tomorrow?

Spot on - of course. Why didn't I figure that out?

I'd be so crap in there.😁

This is genius thinking. Roxy opens the envelope with whomever was banished. So we can’t see it til tomorrow.

Haha we all think we’d be so great playing the game and see the obvious but the fact that so many people have asked this tonight has me wondering!

Not as weird as Ed's!!!!! 🫢

@MatchaMelt I would be horrendous at this game!

• I hate being lied to
• Am always putting my foot in things
• I rub people up the wrong way when I'm trying my best to be nice
• I have zero sleuthing skills and notoriously bad judgement!
• I also bloody hate people thinking I'm lying and that's the thing most likely to get any kind of rise out of me!
• finally, if more reasons were required, I'm SO unfit!

I'd be out at the first banishment and probably relieved af about it 😂

‘Milking’ Jack, channelling his best Tik tok /Kardashian pout
Shot of the season for us. Comedy gold xx

He’s just gross and a crap interviewer

I like Ed.

You sound just what the producers are looking for based on past series 😜

I was wondering if it was because Rachel was in the room with her and it would have been a massive spoiler for tomorrow?

Really hope it’s Rachel. James is quite endearing. I can’t see how Rachel can win now, surely they all took in James comment.
jade’s so petulant - reminds me of some of the young girls at work who need positivity directed to them at all times.
Farazz to win, he’s probably played the game well, quietly observing and he loves his mum.

Does anyone else think this has been really staged. I simply can't believe Rachel has gotten this far after the whole Fiona incident, and then Jesse accusing her. Why are they only just switching on now? Stephen turns red every time he is questioned. Yes, they have both played a good games, especially Rachel.

But tomorrow night's Uncloaked will have all the finalist to include.
