Celebrity Traitors S2

[CaveMum]

Well seeing as I did the threads last year I might as well kick things off again for 2026 now that the first teaser trailer has dropped.

If you haven’t seen it, watch here:

As a reminder, here’s the line up:

• Amol Rajan – Journalist and Broadcaster
• Bella Ramsey – Actor
• James Acaster – Comedian and Podcaster
• James Blunt – Singer/Songwriter
• Jerry Hall – Model and Actress
• Joanne McNally – Comedian
• Joe Lycett – Comedian
• Julie Hesmondhalgh – Actor
• King Kenny – Content Creator
• Leigh-Anne Pinnock – Singer/Songwriter
• Maya Jama – Broadcaster and Entrepreneur
• Michael Sheen – Actor and Presenter
• Miranda Hart – Actor and Author
• Myha’la – Actor
• Professor Hannah Fry– Broadcaster and Mathematician
• Richard E. Grant – Actor and Author
• Rob Beckett – Comedian
• Romesh Ranganathan – Comedian
• Ross Kemp – Actor and Presenter
• Sebastian Croft – Musician and Actor
• Sharon Rooney – Actor

I’m guessing we’ll get 2 women and 1 man as the initial Traitors and hoping the Secret Traitor has been binned.

Will the Big Dog Theory come back? Will we get another Nick/Joe style bromance?

Feel free to espouse your theories on how it might play out.

I think he was literally just thrilled to be a traitor and couldn't keep it to himself. He was uncontainable and excited, then rubbish at covering up his gaffe. Great TV, the producers etc must be thrilled too.

The Middle one always looks weirdly short. It is something to do with the way they film them standing round that small table. It must be deliberate because it’s all deliberate, but I don’t know why they do it

I'm a little bit in love with James Acaster so I want him to stay as long as possible! It doesn't make sense to kill him off after he outright said that he thinks Richard is a traitor.

The Guardian is live blogging all the episodes this year. I read it through this morning and It made me laugh quite a lot. I liked this “They are opening a crate on the boat. They have 90 seconds to escape before the boat explodes. If they don’t, the boat will 100% explode and people will literally die. This is The Traitors after all, a show that would definitely blow up Jerry Hall for exiting a boat in a slightly tardy fashion.”

Michael Sheen…

If they are smart they will keep richard in until near the end now they are pretty sure he is a traitor

She wasn’t legally married to Jagger. She thought they were but when he dumped her she found out their Bali ceremony was never legal.

Claudia is actually quite small. She's only 5'4" or something.

I think REG is a) not that bright, and b) a bit of a loose cannon.

That’s a good thought. But he says he loves it.

For me it was when he took charge at the challenge 😍 <fans self>

That was funny. I liked the cracks about Amol Rajan withering up like a salty slug if he didn't get to be on TV (I mean, calm down, Amol virtually everyone in the castle is on TV!), and about REG being in Hudson Hawk. Though actually, he's been in way worse films he was in Warlock, for crying out loud, playing a scenery-chewing 17thc witchhunter opposite Julian Sands as Satan and the actress who played the cellist in Fame as Random Female Sidekick.

I do agree, though, with whoever said that in his head, this was a film set, and they'd all just been acting 'people having a traitor-selection round table', and now, in the kitchen/library, wherever, they're off duty and making 'Whew, isn't this fun!' film set conversation.

Though, also, never trust anyone with a house that 'maximalist'.

Poor Amol! He's left the Beeb and struck out on his own, so he's overcompensating to get clicks for his own venture. He needs to relax.

I think REG just had a brain fart and was too over excited 🤣

I suppose I'm thinking of the non-celeb version which is filmed in June and July - even in the Highlands it was too warm for woolly coats this year. Sometimes the contestants are in red or blue t shirts!

I think it’s safe to say that REG is not afraid to do unusual things. Let us not forget this is the man who recorded the soliloquy from Hamlet for a dance record in the mid-90s!

And obviously some celebs are there to further their careers (fair play) and others are there for the shits and giggles. I’m here for the latter and any chaos 🤣

Like when Meghan Markle was amazed that the Royals curtsy to one another etc in private, rather than going full Waynetta Slob once the camera are off.

The royals are definitely in their fluffy onesies watching the traitors, no doubt!

I agree. I'd keep him in for ages and just keep trying to see who he doesn't publicly interact with/throw under the bus.

It has been says before that the smartest way for the Faithfuls to play the game is to identify the Traitors early on and keep them in. If you banish them they just recruit new ones that are harder to detect.

Better to identify them, keep them in then vote them off in the last few round tables.

Lori Singer! She was my favourite kid from fame

Trying to recall if anyone has ever done this in previous seasons. I think.they have but can't remember the outcome.

I reckon REG will go on about episode 4 after another monumental gaffe.😁

Almost nobody has successfully identified a traitor. There is really very little to go on and the times when someone has been right, I think it's just coincidence. People use the silliest evidence - like saying someone is too nice to be a traitor! Even REG declaring he's a traitor doesn't tell you whether he's a traitor.

THANK YOU.
