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)

I was team faithful but that was uplifting

pouletvous · 23/01/2026 21:55

The show was edited to make us question their loyalty to each other

i expect they had a strong plan of action every day

BlueLimes · 23/01/2026 21:56

Urgh, feel really deflated watching this now.

Absolutely agree. Dislike this ending a lot !

Lifejigsaw · 23/01/2026 21:56

Watching uncloaked? Jessie is clearly after a presenting gig 😂

Figgygal · 23/01/2026 21:56

NoelEdmondsHairGel · 23/01/2026 21:54

Such a disappointment. Was desperate for Rachel not to win. So unlikeable.

I've come to have a begrudging respect for her

AlwaysRightISwear · 23/01/2026 21:56

I adore that owl.

EdithBond · 23/01/2026 21:56

Best outcome for two Traitors left in final.

At least they were faithful to each other and honoured a bargain.

JudgeJ · 23/01/2026 21:56

Appalonia · 23/01/2026 21:45

Ironically, integrity and faithfulness wins!!😁

But it makes for one really boring outcome, there should be a bit of treachery!

CharlotteRumpling · 23/01/2026 21:56

RayonSunrise · 23/01/2026 21:55

She was never tested. She never held all the power the way he did at the end.

Disagree. She could have turned Faraaz to vote Stephen. And Jade already voted Stephen.

She does have the energy of a children’s TV presenter

PinkPanther57 · 23/01/2026 21:56

Figgygal · 23/01/2026 21:54

Fair play to them both
They stuck together and cost themselves £45k

They’ll earn that back.

Piccolomaforte · 23/01/2026 21:57

I have a fringe and I still REALLY want to cut Claudia’s fringe.

Tiddlywinky · 23/01/2026 21:57

I couldn't warm to Rachel, she seemed cruel at times, like a bully. I'd have preferred Stephen to take it all.

BlueLimes · 23/01/2026 21:57

ForTheForseeable · 23/01/2026 21:53

I'm not sure Rachel would have done the same but what a nice guy!!!

I don’t think she would.

Delatron · 23/01/2026 21:57

CharlotteRumpling · 23/01/2026 21:54

Eh? Rachel did the same. She didnt ever vote for him.

Exactly. And she deflected attention away from him.

Appalonia · 23/01/2026 21:57

JudgeJ · 23/01/2026 21:56

There was lots of treachery, just not towards each other!😂

C8H10N4O2 · 23/01/2026 21:58

are all the losers in the audience? I didn’t spot Ben or Jade but the cameras pan too quickly

lettingthedaysgoby · 23/01/2026 21:58

Has James forgotten to put his trousers on?

ZookeeperSE · 23/01/2026 21:58

RayonSunrise · 23/01/2026 21:54

Yes, I agree seeing a moral core in Stepthn rescued that. He really could have taken the pot for himself, but he stayed loyal.

Edited

Yes, though Rachel wouldn’t have been as broken as Mollie. In fact, she would have been dangerous - he might have had to spend some of that 90 odd grand on personal protection.

Thank gawd it wasn’t Jade and Jack - that would have rivalled last series for boredom/disappointment factor.

AliasGrape · 23/01/2026 21:58

I’m really happy with the ending, they played the game better than the faithful at the end of the day, which is the point. I’m not sure any of the faithfuls deserved it and I’m glad they didn’t turn on each other.

ForTheForseeable · 23/01/2026 21:58

RayonSunrise · 23/01/2026 21:55

She was never tested. She never held all the power the way he did at the end.

Exactly. And I think if she had she would have taken it. I don't mean that critically, fair play, but I think she would have for her family

LighthouseLED · 23/01/2026 21:58

C8H10N4O2 · 23/01/2026 21:58

Jade’s on now. Haven’t seen Ben

lettingthedaysgoby · 23/01/2026 21:58

C8H10N4O2 · 23/01/2026 21:58

Jade will be wheeled out to the sofas

IWantToHibernate · 23/01/2026 21:58

We finally have Roxy and the envelope

dapsnotplimsolls · 23/01/2026 21:59

I saw Ben.
