Welcome to Thread 12 of Traitors 2026 - possibly the final thread for this series
😵‍💫 < me after managing all these threads!

The title’s not very snappy but I think I’ve covered all requests!

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!

Hugo
Rachel
Stephen
Fiona (Secret Traitor)

Because he’s thicker than two short planks. He’s done a 180 on Rachel now.

He switched completely as soon as she started buttering him up. All he needed was for her to pay him some attention for him to trust her!

I don’t think he has. He’s just pretending to Rachel he trusts her.

He said to Jack, Jade then Rachel.

But no one’s going with Stephen.

IVotedForYourself · 23/01/2026 21:31

I think Rachel's style of dress is ageing

Mumsy - she’s too young for it.

Me too - Steven’s head is being turned by the money if that interview is anything to go by.

Rachel also said "if the pact lasts to the end"

It would look better with thinner straps

Those straps hide her bra straps, though.

peacefulpeach · 23/01/2026 21:34

Lampzade · 23/01/2026 21:32

Yes
I am older than Rachel and I wouldn’t wear it

I think she looks gorgeous! Like a younger Argentinian matriarch 😁 💃

ForTheForseeable · 23/01/2026 21:34

LighthouseLED · 23/01/2026 21:33

Yeah or very capped sleeves. Either or

Rictasmorticia · 23/01/2026 21:34

I want jack and Faraz to win

C8H10N4O2 · 23/01/2026 21:34

IWantToHibernate · 23/01/2026 21:33

I think it’s just clever editing to keep us in suspense

I hope so!

(could that mean they are the final two…)

PinkPanther57 · 23/01/2026 21:32

Mumsy. Ok on an elegant over 50. She’s too young.

And it makes her look huge especially from the back. And she's got an average figure and is by no means huge.

Nineandahalf · 23/01/2026 21:34

I think they could do it! Stephen may as well stick with Rachel.

SoScarletItWas · 23/01/2026 21:34

CharlotteRumpling · 23/01/2026 21:28

I agree but we are thd only ones!

And me and me! OG Team Rachel here

RainbowSnake · 23/01/2026 21:34

CarminaBiryani · 23/01/2026 21:32

I think Rachel made a very smart strategy realising that no woman has won traitors, so best to work together with a fellow male co-traitor.

We’ve only had one traitor win so far tbf in the UK. And it was close to a solo female traitor win last year. Female traitors have won by themselves in a few international ones.

ninja · 23/01/2026 21:34

NCTDN · 23/01/2026 21:33

Could the traitors say to end game because they’ve more chance of staying in?

If they did that it would be obvious they were traitors

pouletvous · 23/01/2026 21:35

it bloody obvious why

NCTDN · 23/01/2026 21:35

ninja · 23/01/2026 21:34

That makes sense thanks

CarminaBiryani · 23/01/2026 21:35

It's going to be a draw.

I think it would have been a female traitor win last year if there hadn’t been the Seer power. I’m glad that didn’t come back this year.

CharlotteRumpling · 23/01/2026 21:35

Stephen hold your nerve

Well alan carr won

Yes they have to vote to banish again as they know there are definitely traitors left, as they have not banished one since Fiona

WonderfulSmith · 23/01/2026 21:36

I’m sure they didn’t used to say who wanted to banish again

CarminaBiryani · 23/01/2026 21:36

Ooh that was unsuspected.

Staringintothevoid616 · 23/01/2026 21:36

Lampzade · 23/01/2026 21:32

Yes
I am older than Rachel and I wouldn’t wear it

I like it (but live in heavy metal t shirts so prob not the best judge then)

ScribblingPixie · 23/01/2026 21:36

OMG, is Jack going to vote Rachel?
