Richard banished 1st
Jerry murdered (to suggest Hannah is a Traitor and couldn’t kill herself)
Then Hannah next to be banished.

What did you find odd about it?

Joining in.

There was a strange juxtaposition between the sad death of his wife and then his anecdotes about fame and celebrities. I was moved by his loss but I also found his choices with the book strange.

Hannah was so pissed with Jerry - you could just tell all the 'can't blame her' was through gritted teeth. I want Jerry to go but I think it will be Hannah that's murdered.

They have to banish REG, surely?!

Do they get a flat fee for the programme or is it tapered by how long they last? Does anyone know how much they get if they stay the course?

I thought Hannah was incredibly gracious. She hid it better than I would have.

As Julie says if they don’t banish REG they’re the stupidest faithfuls ever

Joanne is annoying me with her defence of him. He can’t defend himself

Joe is coming across very well

If Richard survives this he’s making it all the way. No in between.

I know the popular consensus is for Jerry to be murdered and for the Traitors to blame it on Hannah under the guise of “oh she was mad”.

But Hannah could argue then why should get mad at Jerry since she won’t be murdered if she is a traitor?

She was incredibly gracious! I’d have been trying to stifle Jerry in my double coffin so no one could hear her crying ‘Haggis!’

It was interesting how little Jerry defended REG at the round table since she's been bleating on from the start how he isnt a traitor

Sorry not rtft was no one banished??

Cliffhanger.

we didn't get that far.

Quite a few people we didn't hear from.at the table. Maybe they will contribute next week before the vote.

Ohh yes ofc. How easy I forget. Will watch on iplayer tomorrow. I suppose we are we waiting til Wednesdays again? Arghhhh

Oh! A new slant

Absolutely all of this.

I don't really get the PPs post about how if REG survives this he will go all the way, as A. He will very much likely go next and B. Surely he isnt all of a sudden going to go from being an utter nightmare to totally plausible overnight

Alas, Thursday!

Digital Spy has this

Celebrity Traitors 2026 release schedule in full
There's set to be 10 episodes this year, which means we're getting even more star-studded castle antics than we were treated to in 2025. Lucky us! Following the above pattern, this means that the episodic release dates will be:
• Episode 3 – Thursday, 8 October
• Episode 4 – Friday, 9 October
• Episode 5 – Thursday, 15 October
• Episode 6 – Friday, 16 October
• Episode 7 – Thursday, 22 October
• Episode 8 – Friday, 23 October
• Episode 9 – Thursday, 29 October
• Episode 10 – Friday, 30 October

Just marking place and crossing fingers that they don’t murder Hannah. I have a crush.

Even if he makes it to the final episode, it would be too risky not to banish him at the endgame

I thought Jerry would tough it out, actually. After being "married" to Mick Jagger, being buried alive must be quite good fun.

😆

You forgot being married to Rupert Murdoch.

I didn’t like the personal comment Richard made about Rob Beckett’s teeth at the breakfast. Though it was quite nasty and not funny. It was something like “do you have more teeth than a normal person?”

Traitors wouldn’t work if the whole series was available to download to binge, there would be spoilers everywhere and it would ruin the suspense. You just know someone you know would blab.
