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

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

No place for a heart if you want to win the game.

Ebok1990 · 23/01/2026 22:39

Amanda had a face like a smacked arse throughout Uncloaked. Wonder what the issue was.

Silverbirchleaf · 23/01/2026 22:39

Ebok1990 · 23/01/2026 22:37

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

Yes, me too.

CaveMum · 23/01/2026 22:40

Right, I’m going to get a final thread ready for the continuing discussions.

13, unlucky for some!

Are you watching @dapsnotplimsolls ?
Gorgeous dogs!

Tiddlywinky · 23/01/2026 22:35

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.

How on earth was that cruel? She was comforting her. Yes she was a traitor so contributed to the emotion being felt but that was her “job” in the game

LancashireButterPie · 23/01/2026 22:41

I hope there is some support for Jade, she seemed very upset at times.

I mean, look at the way Matt leapt on the idea of Jessie being murdered in a deal, and went hard against James to save himself at the round table then immediately afterwards named him as the most obvious faithful. It's a game. IMO he didn't play it very 'nicely' but he wasn't successful with it.

Nah, can't handle any more tonight! I'll watch tomorrow.

I have now spotted Ben in the audience but not Judy.

ABoldStatement · 23/01/2026 22:42

I’m quite interested in watching the Irish Traitora but I’ve had the winners spoiled for me by these threads. A sarcastic thanks to the posters who did that.

I agree I think it was a "do not cry. Be strong. You can carry on without breaking down" comment. Not a nasty don't turn on the waterworks comment.

BrucesTooth · 23/01/2026 22:42

Eh? Where were all the relationships? Teased all seasons. Parents/kids partners, siblings? The extra envelope in uncloaked next to the chair?

EchoedSilence · 23/01/2026 22:43

Maybe Jade should have realised what the game was before signing up?

I thought she was in the front row?

I've got one eye on it, but 24 new names and faces to learn is too much after tonight!

IVotedForYourself · 23/01/2026 22:43

Judy was seated to the left of Roxy

AndresyFiorella · 23/01/2026 22:43

I would love to work for or with Rachel. She was true to her word, calm and intelligent. If only my managers were any of those things...

I never even understood what that "deal" was supposed to be. They'll kill Jessie and then recruit him? What was he going to offer in return? They didn't need his permission to kill Jessie, they were going to do it anyway. It wasn't a deal, it was a request.

I don't think she was a good choice - too vulnerable. I hope they weren't attracted to her back story.

Yes - now seen her, missed her on the speedy camera pass thanks!

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.

It wasn’t his money

they won together. She saved his arse many times in the game. He saved hers. They were a team
