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

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

So agree. Her mum and sis died a year or so after her dad was arrested amid a messy extradition battle.
She should not have been on this show.

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 don’t think anyone has posted who won Irish traitors

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...

Yes inasmuch as you can judge anyone from the edited show, she demonstrated much or what you need in her type of role

pouletvous · 23/01/2026 22:46

Roxy is pregnant

wheresthesnowgone · 23/01/2026 22:46

Perfect result, exactly who I wanted to win.

Rachel and Stephen played a brilliant game and the faithfuls were (mostly) rubbish. Harriet could have gone further if she'd kept her cool.

Excellent result 🎉 well deserved

With people saying how did Jade afford the cardigans? She may have been given them to wear

I‘m pretty sure they get stylists to provide them with/help them choose clothes. So not sure if they own them.

I didn’t pick that up as cruel

Me neither

pouletvous · 23/01/2026 22:48

Interesting result

i cant help thinking it would have been dull and predictable without the clever editing

will he, wont he betray her. How will they vote? They were fully aligned throughout

WonderfulSmith · 23/01/2026 22:50

ninja · 23/01/2026 22:36

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

No mention but how much talk has there been about them just on this thread alone?

Stephen's panicky expressions were certainly a gift to the editors in that regard.

PotteryChuck · 23/01/2026 22:51

Does anyone know why there wasn't a Traitor's Dilemma (split or steal?)

CaveMum · 23/01/2026 22:52

Just another quick thought, can I suggest someone (not me!) creates a separate thread for the Irish Traitors so that no one can accidentally stumble across spoilers.

That's was already covered in whether Stephen voted for Jack or Rachel. In voting for Jack he had decided to split rather than take it all for himself.

I think that's when there are 3.

That’s for her to decide!!

firstofallimadelight · 23/01/2026 22:53

Great final, I think if Rachel had any backers in that final she would gave betrayed Stephen. I think Stephen only stated with her because he knew she would t betray him at that point and because the alternative was telling Javk
he hadn’t win after all. It was a no brainier.

Actually it's for the showrunners to decide. Poor and unwise telly to have someone so fragile.

Jades dad is a billionaire isn’t he?

They would both have said split

WonderfulSmith · 23/01/2026 22:55

You know how some people have a ‘resting bitch face’? Well I think Rachel has a resting bitch voice. Her tone can come across as rather stern and serious, even when she is joking or being kind.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 23/01/2026 22:56

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?

We saw them opening the extra envelope in one of the Uncloaked episodes this week. It was just revealing the Ellie/Ross and Judy/Roxy connections. Nothing else.

So pleased with that result. The right two to win. Incredible editing. So tense to the very end!

Liquoriceallsortsmadear · 23/01/2026 22:56

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.

I think it was Ellie she said it to

ThatCyanCat · 23/01/2026 22:57

pouletvous · 23/01/2026 22:55

I doubt it. But even if they had, still a shit way to end the game. It's just a shit game, full stop.
