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!

Exactly. And she deflected attention away from him.

She’s the reason the traitors won. She pulled the wool over Faraaz’s eyes perfectly.

SwedishEdith · 23/01/2026 21:59

James could be children's tv presenter.

They’ll earn that back.

And it never "cost" them £45k as they didn't have it to start with.

LighthouseLED · 23/01/2026 21:58

Jade’s on now. Haven’t seen Ben

Oh yes - forgot she would be on stage. When its finished I’ll pause on the audience shots.

pouletvous · 23/01/2026 21:59

Can’t even remember Ben

Barleybumpsadaisy · 23/01/2026 21:59

Absolutely brilliant ending. I’m so glad Stephen had integrity.

AlwaysRightISwear · 23/01/2026 21:59

Roxy not that upset after all.

C8H10N4O2 · 23/01/2026 22:00

James is quite irritating with this traitful nonsense.

RayonSunrise · 23/01/2026 22:00

Delatron · 23/01/2026 21:57

Exactly. And she deflected attention away from him.

She NEVER was in a position to make or break him. She influenced, as did he. But in the end he was the only one of them who could have really betrayed the other (more than once!), but he did not.

I am starting to wonder if anyone is actually paying attention to how voting works.

Piccolomaforte · 23/01/2026 22:00

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.

I agree. She seemed a bit too comfortable with back stabbing behaviour, so I was pleasantly surprised at the end. She definitely worked hard.

CharlotteRumpling · 23/01/2026 22:00

C8H10N4O2 · 23/01/2026 22:00

Very.

ScribblingPixie · 23/01/2026 21:55

I love Claudia, but I can't believe she's going to present a talk show. She's barely coherent.

Gosh I couldn't disagree more!

Starandflowers · 23/01/2026 22:00

Still don’t get the unlikeable, bully comments aimed at Rachel. Didn’t see any of that but did see in others like Fiona (bully) and Harriet (unlikeable)

murasaki · 23/01/2026 22:00

Oh James, this young lady, you patronising twat.

dapsnotplimsolls · 23/01/2026 22:00

I honestly think Rachel would have nobbled Stephen if it had been the other way around.

FrothyCothy · 23/01/2026 22:00

pouletvous · 23/01/2026 21:48

Has anyone seen that Aussie version where three traitors make it to thr end?

its a brutal version

It’s my absolute favourite ending of any series (we’ve watched all the English language versions!)

DontGoJasonWaterfalls · 23/01/2026 22:00

Thought Roxy handled that reveal with good humour. Good to remember it's just a game.

EdithBond · 23/01/2026 22:01

Alpacajigsaw · 23/01/2026 21:55

I was team faithful but that was uplifting

I was Team Faraaz but he just couldn’t win Jack’s trust.

And Rachel played so well to win him over.

EchoedSilence · 23/01/2026 22:01

Oh look, Roxy wasn't devastated after all.

RayonSunrise · 23/01/2026 22:01

saltandvinegarchipsticks · 23/01/2026 21:59

She’s the reason the traitors won. She pulled the wool over Faraaz’s eyes perfectly.

Yes, and Stephen could have betrayed her and did not. He’s really managed to break the traitor’s curse of being TOO good at manipulation.

PotteryChuck · 23/01/2026 22:01

AlwaysRightISwear · 23/01/2026 21:59

Roxy not that upset after all.

I feel like she already knew?!

hoxtonbabe · 23/01/2026 22:02

saltandvinegarchipsticks · 23/01/2026 21:59

She’s the reason the traitors won. She pulled the wool over Faraaz’s eyes perfectly.

Definitely. Had Faraz and Jack stuck together they actually would have won ( assuming Jack could bring himself to vote for Stephen) but they definitely could have got Rachel out so Farazz only has himself to blame on that one.

PotteryChuck · 23/01/2026 22:02

FrothyCothy · 23/01/2026 22:00

It’s my absolute favourite ending of any series (we’ve watched all the English language versions!)

100% agree!!

awaynboilyurheid · 23/01/2026 22:02

Nooooo just finished

Appalonia · 23/01/2026 22:02

Jade looks stunning.
