Celebrity Traitors starts tonight at 8 pm.

I'm looking forward to it, there's some reasonably good brains competing.
At least two of the contestants are pensioners - Celia Imrie (Calendar Girls, Marigold Hotel etc) and the erudite Sir Stephen Fry.

I don't mind who wins now. They all deserve to get something for their charities.

David is my favourite, but that's because of A House Through Time, rather than because he's payed a better game than the others. Everyone has played well, Traitor or Faithful. It's been a great series.

Alan gave himself away tonight when asked to say I am a faithful , Jo mumbled something like " I'm not having it " I think the Traitors will lose now . What a brilliant game

I find myself always wanting a traitor or traitors to win. I hope Cat and Alan will share.

I agree that it is hard to pick a favourite- so whoever wins it will be a win win for the chosen charity. I just hope it is a lesser known, local one that could really do with the money... that amount will make a massive difference to any small charity.

Yes, I think the fact that they are called Faithfuls and Traitors makes it feel as though the Traitors are baddies, when they aren't - they are playing by the rules and were randomly chosen for the role.

I admit I'm hoping Joe and Nick win..
But think they need David to do so....

I think (maybe) part of the reason Joe has/had sussed out the Traitors is because he’d never met any/very few of any of the players before the show so had no pre-conceived ideas about any/few of them, unlike most of the other players had about each other.
I initially wanted David to do well for the same reason as Doodledog but tbh, he hasn’t contributed much to my enjoyment up to now, he’s just been a bit too quiet for me but I realise that could be due to editing.
My other favourites even before the start were Mark and Celia. I was very disappointed when Mark left, I loved his enthusiasm for the game.
Celia was a joy throughout, just so much fun to watch.
Although I’ve enjoyed watching Joe and Nick, I want Alan and Cat to win. Cat because she has just been so true to the game/good at being a Traitor (I wonder if her Autism/and or ADHD has been a factor in this in any way?) and Alan, who was never someone that I cared for/watched before Traitors, but has provided me with so much entertainment, especially during the first two episodes.

grannydarkhair I agree about Mark and was sorry to see him go.

Well, for someone who almost sneeringly once said they would never watch this, not interested, can't see the point of it......

....I'm pretty darned excited about the final tonight gringrin

My brother has just texted to say be careful if browsing online as the final result has been leaked . I’m steering clear in case I inadvertently see it .

In bed watching

merlotgran Thu 06-Nov-25 22:00:10

Nooooo. My favourites gone.

ferry23 Thu 06-Nov-25 22:00:44

Oh no!

Doodledog Thu 06-Nov-25 22:06:39

Oh, well played!

It was a very tense finale.

Grannynannywanny Thu 06-Nov-25 22:07:11

What an ending, that was brilliant 😆

Allira Thu 06-Nov-25 22:11:37

I feel exhausted!

Not what I expected at all but a brilliant ending and such a worthwhile charity.

Doodledog Thu 06-Nov-25 22:12:12

It's actually worse when the contestants are 'real people', as the prize can be life-changing, and when they lose it their disappointment is hard to watch. This way, a charity gets it whoever wins, so it's easier.

Do we know which charity the winner has supported?

ferry23 Thu 06-Nov-25 22:12:14

Who would have predicted that ending? That was great, good for him.

merlotgran Thu 06-Nov-25 22:14:14

Do we know which charity the winner has supported

Neuroblastoma. A cancer charity for children.

Whitewavemark2 Thu 06-Nov-25 22:16:54

Joe was consistently right all the way through and David was consistently wrong😊

GrannyGravy13 Thu 06-Nov-25 22:18:47

Brilliant 🥂

Iam64 Thu 06-Nov-25 22:20:28

So entertaining. Alan deserved to win, Joe has built himself a new tv career
David On- oh dear 🙈
