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!

She’s not even coming across as likeable uncloaked imo.

dapsnotplimsolls · 23/01/2026 22:34

Clothes as distraction from the red face - love it!

ABoldStatement · 23/01/2026 22:34

I love how Stephen and Rachel colour-coordinated for Uncloaked.

CharlotteRumpling · 23/01/2026 22:34

Stephen admitting he used his outfits to distract!

Everyone?

Someone specifically said something about a 4 hour classs which she mentioned.

LighthouseLED · 23/01/2026 22:34

EchoedSilence · 23/01/2026 22:33

Same, I like strong independent women who can hold their own and take no prisoners.

I’d also be very happy to work with Rachel.

Oneforallandallforone · 23/01/2026 22:31

After somebody posted that four months FBI course, somebody called it that Rachel didn't even have that and was just bluffing.

Well done to that poster.

So she prepared, she played skilfully, and she won. It's a game!

Tiddlywinky · 23/01/2026 22:35

splendidpickle · 23/01/2026 22:32

She was just playing the game though. The only person akin to a colleague for her was Stephen and she proved her trustworthiness there.

Yeah and she was brilliant at it but at times she looked cruel. When she said to Jade 'Do not cry' in one of the round tables, she was really awful.

And camouflaging into the Chesterfields

NCTDN · 23/01/2026 22:35

Have you seen the lining of Stephen’s trousers? They’re amazing too!

I didn’t pick that up as cruel

Oh my, they are something else!

LighthouseLED · 23/01/2026 22:34

I’d also be very happy to work with Rachel.

If there were a terrible crisis, she would be calm and unruffled instead of shrieking open mouthed.

HauntedBungalow · 23/01/2026 22:36

Silverbirchleaf · 23/01/2026 22:14

Yes, he was bitter.

TBF I would be too. So close and yet so very far away.

You don't win by crying.

ninja · 23/01/2026 22:36

Any believe they didn’t mention the cardi’s - evidence that thy were sponsored?

LighthouseLED · 23/01/2026 22:35

I didn’t pick that up as cruel

Me neither but I did get mighty bored of Jade’s whiny responses and childish tit for tat accusations every time she was nominated - she was the only player who kept responding in that way (and was still having a mild whinge about it tonight).

I don't agree. I think she'd had to come to terms in advance with the game and the fact she was throwing people under the bus, and was warm without being false. I think she'd be an amazing friend.

Well she never said precisely what course she did, and she was clearly just playing the game 😂

BlueLimes · 23/01/2026 22:23

I never understood how Harry one - he was obviously a slimy little toad.

It was basically because the girl he took to the final fancied the pants off him. I also recall that back in earlier seasons the tasks took a lot of physical effort and there would be discussion about the need to keep in people who could earn money for the prize pot - and Harry hit the mark on that.

pouletvous · 23/01/2026 22:37

huh? She seems genuine to me

TheGreenBow · 23/01/2026 22:37

Thanks for all the threads @CaveMum 🙂

I thought the best people won (based on hard work and great strategies) and I’ve found it the most entertaining/exciting/ surprising series yet. Sad it’s over!!

My favourite player in the end was Stephen and I think he came across as a lovey person on Uncloaked too. He also basically gave away half of his money, which not many would do.

Ebok1990 · 23/01/2026 22:37

Tiddlywinky · 23/01/2026 22:26

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

I would trust Stephen though.

I'd absolutely trust Rachel. She seems very professional, direct, balanced and focused to me.

pouletvous · 23/01/2026 22:38

Ooh Irish version incoming

Tiddlywinky · 23/01/2026 22:38

LighthouseLED · 23/01/2026 22:35

I didn’t pick that up as cruel

Oh I did. I'm convinced she doesn't have a heart. But she's a worthy winner!
