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!

Traitors
Hugo
Rachel
Stephen
Fiona (Secret Traitor)

Murdered
Netty

Amanda (Faithful)

For the final time, the floor is yours…

The reveal is filmed that day in the castle, not the day of Uncloaked...

Oh I didn't know that!

Jade's reveal envelope has the names the other way round. Odd.

They left the person she'd have the bigger reaction to at the bottom of the letter.

Makes sense for a tv show.

So many posters determined to justify their dislike for Rachel by insisting she'd throw Stephen under the bus.

Well, she didn't and we will never know for certain whether she would have done or not.

Can we just admit she's played a good game?

I wanted her to win from the get go, so I'm happy. Even more so that they both did and kept their pact.

Amanda was the biggest bully .

I'd say Fiona was a nasty piece of work, came across as a bully.

I so agree…!

SwedishEdith · 23/01/2026 22:07

Ooooo, Amanda didn't like that!

LighthouseLED · 23/01/2026 22:07

PotteryChuck · 23/01/2026 22:07

Yes, I agree.

And Fiona’s the only one who didn’t come across well on Uncloaked

littlbrowndog · 23/01/2026 22:08

Rachel best traitor ever. Loved her and Stephen and wanted them to win

PotteryChuck · 23/01/2026 22:08

I'm so delighted for Rachel and Stephen, they really deserved to win!

Faithful to each other, oddly heartwarming 😂

She played an amazing game and deserved to win. As did Stephen.

CharlotteRumpling · 23/01/2026 22:08

I don't think anyone was a bully, really.

Lampzade · 23/01/2026 22:08

As I said previously , female traitors are given a much harder time than males.

That is what he said and is listed as on the programme page. Doesn’t give any more detail.

Yes, he’s definitely now a gardener and a musician

She did indeed. I wasn't trying to justify my dislike, I don't think she was particularly likable, but she played a good game.

ScribblingPixie · 23/01/2026 22:09

Rachel made a point of saying she was doing her best to play the role of traitor with integrity - which she did IMO.

WonderfulSmith · 23/01/2026 22:09

DontGoJasonWaterfalls · 23/01/2026 22:00

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

I get the feeling they record this bit the next day and they have had a debrief or chance to call home.

Oneforallandallforone · 23/01/2026 22:09

SwedishEdith · 23/01/2026 22:05

Jade looks stunning tonight.

She looked stunning in every episode to be fair.

She's incredibly beautiful. I wonder will she get modelling work from this if she wants it, though she probably doesn't seeing as she's doing a PhD.

ForTheForseeable · 23/01/2026 22:09

Jade is ridiculously beautiful IMO

EleanorReally · 23/01/2026 22:09

Disappointing

EchoedSilence · 23/01/2026 22:10

Rachel was a Traitor and played like a Traitor. That's the game.

CaveMum · 23/01/2026 22:10

Thanks for being here for the ride everyone. I hope that next year we have a MN player who can spill all the behind the scenes beans, once the show is over of course.

See you all in the autumn for Celebs series 2!
