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…

Leanne won with that behaviour. If you're able to pull it off then great, though it's no fun to watch.

@Umbilicat absolutely awful to watch and I know it’s a game but that sort of reputation follows you through life.

Yes, Rachel is so full of c*, really hope she doesn’t win. Can’t understand why so many people have trusted her. And Roxy, having concerns about both Rachel and Stephen then just accepting their reassurance when she asks them about it. So stupid!

Leanne was so awful

I think Rachel is fine - I think it’s normal to have a semblance of annoyance and she has said no problem a few time s

i guess your trying to act how you’d think you’d feel and pull that off

I know 😂😂

”are you a traitor”

“ no”

”ok”

Then so funny in the diary room where she says Rachel and Stephen to win 😂😂😂

Can we take a sec to acknowledge @CaveMum s excellent thread titles? Thank you!

Agreed, you've been epic @cavemum. Thank you!

💯 commitment!

thank you

🤣 I wanted more from her on Uncloaked, mostly her mum spoke and she just said yes mm a lot. Tbf no one asked her many direct questions, they seemed to talk at her a lot. Also she's pregnant so was maybe just super tired.

He's managed to get people onboard too which Jaz is series 2 failed to do and hence lost the game. I'd like you watch the series back to see how Faraaz played throughout.

Rachel has played a great game and is obviously popular but i think the odds are stacked against her making it all the way, even if she is lucky with the chest of chance.

I didn't like Leanne either. Rachel has obviously decided that saying too much is as bad as saying too little. That's why she makes shorter responses. It's a good tactic.

Did Roxy expect Rachel to just fess up when she confronted her in the kitchen?!

To embarrass yourself like that so publicly, I would have been too ill to go on uncloaked last night 😧

But worse, Rachel could have denied it without the whole hug business, that put me off her even more!

Aw, shucks, thanks folks.

I am, and always have been, a Faithful to these threads 😜

Yes and no facial expressions beyond what’s necessary or reactions at breakfast

Yes it was over egged for rachel

but then roxy is a bit childish so it implores the other to act soothing and parental (hugging and promising - FBI malfunction there)

I wonder if she was quiet on uncloaked cos her mum was there and she’s the main strong women!

yes thanks for threads OP

Think you should be getting some of that prize money 😜

So how will tonight go?

If it's James gone, we have Rachel, Stephen, Jade, Jack, Faraaz. So they will know there are two traitors among them. Let's say they banish Jade, then it's Rachel, Stephen, Jack, Faraaz. If Rachel and Stephen try to banish Faraaz and Jack and Faraaz try to banish Rachel, it's still a bloody tie!

If it's Rachel gone, James, Stephen, Jade, Jack, Faraaz. God knows who they banish, let's say James. Then it's Stephen, Jade, Jack, Faraaz. I don't think they'd believe there was no traitor left, let's say (thinking in Stephen's favour) they banish Jade. I still don't think Jack and Faraaz would let it be the case that Stephen is still in as he's been under their radar, so I think they'd Banish him, and split the win.

I think not having the murder really threw the traitor strategy and they should have murdered Faraaz when they got the chance. I'd love to know why they didn't. Rachel seemed a bit tired at the last turret - maybe it was the hill task!

why is anyone surprised that steven might double cross rachel.
they are traitors.

The hill task cam after the last turret

Well, if she has a girl I reckon she won’t be called Rachel.
Wait, hang on…maybe?

Exactly. It's the game. Harry was saying that in Stephen's shoes he'd vote against Rachel last night. Treachery is hard wired into the game.

I think Roxy wanted to assess Rachel's reaction and decide how genuine it seemed. For all the good it did her!

I don't really have much sympathy for Traitors as they have all the advantage, but it probably does get very stressful when it's down to a handful of people.

Good luck with that! Many many years ago when we were working with the Army in Germany there was no direct TV, Match of the Day was shown on Monday. A colleague made sure he didn't know the result, we'd teased him mercilessly but he managed to not know. He started to watch and in the opening titles the winning Captain was holding up the trophy!

To be fair, given her background there may be acceptance/need to be liked issues.
She thought she was the most likeable player and the way she blindingly attached herself to 2 very well liked players seem quite telling.

This was in response to my feline friend @ThatCyanCat
