Who do you want to win The Traitors Final

121 replies

IVotedForYourself · 23/01/2026 10:28

Love it or loathe it, tonight is the final episode of the current series.

It's been an original series in that there was Secret Traitor from the outset, and there have been no Traitor recruitments in the game.
Up to this point, I have been Team Traitor to win, but if Rachel is banished tonight, I'm switching to Team Faithful.

Who do you want to win?
If Team Faithful, is there any persons in particular you would like to see go home with the £££?

Faraaz, anyone really but Rachel. I am oping she goes at the start of tonights show.

I wish Stephen had had the balls to vote for Rachel

Yes
but he can’t have been sure she’d be banished

BundleOfChimneys · 23/01/2026 11:38

Faraaz and Jade.

magpie234 · 23/01/2026 11:38

I either want Stephen to win it alone or Faraaz and Jack to share it. I also think those are the two more likely options. James/Rachel/Jade nobody is going to gamble with as they have all had so much heat. Tbc if F&J gamble with Stephen but I think they maybe won’t given F suspects him

ZookeeperSE · 23/01/2026 11:43

Faraazatha Christie, all the way, in this house.

Don’t mind if he takes James with him (assuming he survived the banishment) because he’s really put himself out there - albeit in mental ways. Jack,
and Jade haven’t done as much to deserve the win but I suppose you have to give them credit for just surviving - clearly not easy to fly under the radar all the way through. Though none have played as cleverly as Faraaz has.

And if one or both of the traitors win, well I guess they have also played a good game.

Either way, I don’t feel this years result will be the let down that last year’s was.

Yeah I think those are the most likely options as well.

Although Faraaz doesn’t think it’s James. I think Faraaz believes that Jack and James are faithful, and is unsure on Jade and Stephen so will want them out. So if James survives the chance thing, I think he has a slim chance once Rachel is revealed as a traitor.

As an aside, I hate the chance thing. I totally understand why it has to happen - if they’re deadlocked then they’re deadlocked and someone has to go. But I just hate watching it.

MakeYourOwnSunshine · 23/01/2026 11:45

I want Stephen to win as the sole traitor.

Monty34 · 23/01/2026 11:55

Rachel had played a good game up until last night. She told Stephen he might hear her talking about him to others. And she snapped at James. She is not proving to be so composed under pressure.

I think putting a player out by chance is a terrible option. Stephen had the chance to get rid of Rachel and blew it. If she stays in he will regret not getting rid of her.

Faraaz is the only player who has identified Rachel by himself. And Stephen.
I do wonder why Jade has been so picked on?

I do hope in the next series the programme is less discriminatory. Nobody old, disabled, or even just not so fit could have undertaken last nights challenge up the hill for the gold. Fiona could not have done it, probably not Harriet, nor Hugo etc. I expect better from the BBC who show the programme. Even James was sick doing it. Why he didn’t remind everyone how hard he had worked so how could he be a Traitor I have no idea.

thedogdaysareover51 · 23/01/2026 11:59

I always want the traitors to win. However I don’t think Rachel will get through as there’s so much heat on her but I would love Stephen to win-he’s so lovely! I cringe every time Rachel, a grown woman, says ‘my mummy’ or ‘mammy’ and for that reason alone she has to go!

decemberdecember · 23/01/2026 12:01

Stephen. I think he & Rachel have done brilliantly, but yeah it’ll be curtains for her sadly.

I like a traitors win as it’s just better viewing at the end!

I kind of hope for Stephen’s sake Rachel has gone. I think he’ll have a far easier job if she does. All he’d then need is slightly more suspicion to stay on James and Jade, and it’s job done.

RobinEllacotStrike · 23/01/2026 12:07

I would love Rachel & Stephen to win.

But Farraz is onto both of them. Farraz hasn't forgotten all the earlier heat on Stephen that everyone memory holed, and once Rachel has been disposed of he will turn his attention to Stephen.

If Rachel goes first thing it will improve Stephens chance of winning. This is the last time it will be revealed if the banished is a traitor or faithful.

If James goes first thing the end game will be very different and I think Stephen could win after James gets voted off.

Rachel & Stephen have both been incredible traitors. Not seducing was a great play.

FancyCatSlave · 23/01/2026 12:09

Rachel and Stephen but sadly not possible now. They’ve been brilliant. The faithful have been shit!

Lindy2 · 23/01/2026 12:10

I like Rachel. She keeps her cool very well and has played the part of traitor brilliantly. Her and Stephen have made a good team together. Neither would have been as good without the other.

Unfortunately I think Rachel is unlikely to get through to the end now as there's too many people too suspicious of her.

I think Stephen will win.

If he doesn't I rather like James. He's quirky and although I initially thought he was a bit irritating I've actually grown to rather like his quirkiness.

I'm not fussed about any of the others. Unless it's the way it's been filmed the rest have been rather bland.

It's been a great series though. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 23/01/2026 12:12

I want Stephen to win . He's been so faithful to Rachel he deserves it.

MirrorMirror1247 · 23/01/2026 12:13

As a fellow Scot, I want Stephen to win! I don't dislike Rachel, I think she's been very clever throughout, but Stephen has the edge for me. Rachel was clearly planning on chucking him under the bus so I'd love to see it turned round on her!

Why he didn’t remind everyone how hard he had worked so how could he be a Traitor I have no idea.

I wonder if they have variants of the tasks that they’ll use if necessary. Say for last night’s - make them start halfway (or more) up the hill and tell them half the gold is down and half is up, and they’ll figure out send the fitter people down, and the less fit people have then got the full time (which could also be adjusted to make it less of a sprint for the others) to walk up half the hill with a stop to get some gold.

I also wonder if they thought that task would be easier. I know they do them with production staff to make sure it’s doable etc, but DH pointed out that it was probably set up to basically guarantee that they won and no one got murdered, because they wouldn’t want to just have 4 in the final. But actually it was quite close. If I’d run so much I vomited I’d have just thought “fuck it, just murder me, I’m not carrying on”.
ETA - I actually wonder if they called a sort of medical time out for him. He threw up and was lying on the ground so I wonder if that’s the sort of thing where liability/insurance-wise they sort of have to stop and go “ok we can’t let him just get up and keep sprinting”.

RobinEllacotStrike · 23/01/2026 12:21

I do think Rachel got a bit desperate on the round table last night & her turning on Stephen was a big mistake - probably her only big error all series.

She should have stuck with the attention on James & he probably would have been evicted. She diluted the heat on him.

Figgygal · 23/01/2026 12:23

Rachel is toast
I think Stephen deserves it actually

Starchipenterprise · 23/01/2026 12:23

Faraaz to win - he stayed under the radar and was only really noticed when he rapidly cracked that maths puzzles. I think he’s one of those incredibly clever people who speaks when they have something really impactful to say. I want Rachel to go out at some point today, otherwise I have no real alternative opinion.

lifeturnsonadime · 23/01/2026 12:23

Stephen or Faraz for me.

hanahsaunt · 23/01/2026 12:23

#TeamStephen. Failing that, anyone but Jack.

firstofallimadelight · 23/01/2026 12:24

I’d like faraaz or Stephen to win so I could go either way.

TheSpottedZebra · 23/01/2026 12:24

I'm another who'd like Rachel and Stephen to somehow clinch a shared win. But with the thing where they have to split or steal (Prisoner's Dilemma, they did this in one series somewhere , apparently)
Or if not, then James.

The others have done naff all, apart from a last-minute effort from Faraaz. Yes, they all seem nice and I'm sure they'd say they've been keeping their heads down and making alliances, but they've not really done much. Or even guessed well.

Nosejobnelly · 23/01/2026 12:25

Stephen
or if faithful, Jack and Faraaz
