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

Why is Harriet wearing a fur coat?

She was trying to escape out the door but they strong armed her back to say something nice to Rachel

Thewonderfuleveryday · 23/01/2026 22:25

Stephen owns his jumpsuits. There's a pre Traitors photo on his insta of him wearing one.

Tiddlywinky · 23/01/2026 22:26

Would you trust Rachel as colleague in real life? I wouldn't.

I would trust Stephen though.

I’m more than happy for more series - it brightens up a miserable January, especially when accompanied by these threads.

Its not been a vintage series but one of the best endings for me. Role on Celeb 2 and Traitors 5.

Oh god. I spend more than enough time on Reddit with the handbag and Korean skincare subs, if we add this, my sons may as well be motherless as I’d pay no attention to them anymore 🤣🤣

( thank you 😉)

Oh, this is just the subreddit for the links to all of the international seasons. You’ve also got r/TheTraitors and r/TheTraitorsUK for all the discussion so I guess your sons are going to have to learn to fend for themselves Grin

AndresyFiorella · 23/01/2026 22:26

I'm so happy with this ending! Rachel and Stephen worked so hard and played it brilliantly. I like Jack and Faraaz, but if they'd won a lot of money I'd be left with the feeling they won it by bumbling along and being not quite bland enough to be murdered but too bland to be banished.

I think it's sad this thread has people busy complaining about what's been gripping TV and also tearing down intelligent and successful women. I've loved every minute of hte seriees and the thread on MN (thanks @CaveMum ) and it's been great to see some strong, intellegent and stylish women wipe the floor with some average men... very happy with the result.

Totally agree

pouletvous · 23/01/2026 22:27

@lettingthedaysgoby

agree

I would trust Stephen though.

I am beginning to sound like I am Rachel, but yes I would. I would happily work with her.

I'm the same. I find it odd that we can't say that without being told we are tearing women down!

She was a great traitor. But I didn't find her likable.

PotteryChuck · 23/01/2026 22:27

LighthouseLED · 23/01/2026 22:24

I wonder if that was behind some of Stephen and Rachel’s decisions - they didn’t want to let Roxy or Jack down in the final two in the same way Harry did to Mollie.

I also think they were both aware they're on TV. And their actions will be seen and judged.

MagicStarrz · 23/01/2026 22:27

I'm behind but so happy with the outcome

watching uncloaked now

She had a bow in her hair when she was wearing the black sparkly evening dress which prompted a discussion about its straps.

It didn’t have the long tails, though. I think that’s what’s not working, unless her hair is half up and half down so it’s hard to tell what’s bow and what’s hair.

It looks like she's wearing Disney ears.

Stephen's clothes look great.

Of course not, she's a head of comms. Only thing worse would be HR.

Jack and Faz said they didn't notice Rachel's slipups!

She’s patronising & brighter than most but perhaps not as clever as she thinks she is. She’s ok.

StripedVase · 23/01/2026 22:29

I truly do not understand people getting emotional about traitors playing to win. What are they supposed to do, confess immediately and ask everyone to forgive them for the sin of being tapped on the shoulder? THAT WOULD SPOIL THE GAME 😅

ninja · 23/01/2026 22:29

I think it’s been a great series - Harriet and Matt’s questions, Fiona’s bonkers moment … just because there were boring people left at the end doesn’t spoil the rest of it

Delatron · 23/01/2026 22:29

I would trust Rachel. I liked her all along and think she played a brilliant game.

awaynboilyurheid · 23/01/2026 22:29

I can’t even watch them celebrate , Stephen disappointed me when he could have got her out , Rachel was just was so cold

Thewonderfuleveryday · 23/01/2026 22:29

Head of comms is trustworthy. It's not like she's HR.

Maybe her mum. 🤣
