Anyone up for a Traitors thread?

The last 2 nights have ramped up the excitement for me, no nodding off it’s too exciting!
It’s interesting that there is a clear divide between the players who we can’t even be sure of their names as they are playing the slow game,
and those who stick their heads up above the parapet?
I think Rachel and Stephen have been shaken by recent events and may well stick together for the foreseeable.
Who will become the third Traitor? Harriet maybe? She seems very shrewd.

Excellent series thus far, glad Fiona was banished. I always watch Uncloaked and listen to the bonus podcast. Mark Bonnar was on last night, Always fabulous and he’s still so into the game, good rapport between him and Maz too

So glad Fiona has gone.If she thought she was representing 'women of a certain age ' she certainly didn't get my vote.All that nonsense about not understanding social media and a burner phone on Uncloaked.I don't think so!

Isn’t it strange that there are always a few who never get any heat on them? Jessie, the over excitable red haired girl and the Londoner, Adam? Also Harriet.
Why does anyone suspect Jade?

One thing the show makes obvious is how susceptible we are to herd mentality. As soon as someone is named as a possible traitor everyone starts remembering tiny facial expressions or tones of voice that fit with the accusation. It’s quite scary.

Jade doesn't really interact with anyone that I have seen. She is very quiet.

Apart from Sam he's lovely and Stephen I'm not sure of the other men as they have also been quiet.

Loving this series.
I too am glad Fiona has gone and hope Rachel will folllow soon. I hope their real persona is very different to the ones they have portrayed. I wouldn’t want either of them as friends or neighbours!
My favourite to win at the moment is Harriet.

Another person glad Fiona is no longer in the castle. I know the point of the game is to be deceitful, but I felt she was overdoing it.

I would really like Sam to be among the winners; he has taken so much ‘heat’ with good humour. Harriet is great.

Yes, that 'woman of a certain age' thing really got to me too. She said it twice, as if it gives her carte blanc to be as nasty and self-serving as possible, and all while thinking it's a massive joke.

I know it's a game but she seemed to have no moral compass at all, not even on the after show. I hope she disappears from our screens for good.

I’d like to see a bit more discussion between Traitors in the turret about each of the Faithfuls and how they pick the nightly victim to be murdered.
They just say “so do you want to do the deed?” (write the name on the envelope and seal it)
and then it’s the end of the show.
Or are they being told who to murder although there is no longer a ‘secret traitor’ giving them a short list?

Just to get your head spinning until the next episode 😁

Well we know she isn't Reece's mum because of the Traitors Uncloaked appearance... last night. Reece has little trace of her very obvious Welsh accent.

Very true.

I said something similar to my DS yesterday! grin

For those of us who like our Traitors, the first 'Traitors Ireland' will start after this one. It is set to air Saturday 24th January at midnight with second episode an hour later. Presumably it will be on catch up. I gather RTE has already shown it. I shall be watching it as I grew up over there and still have family there.

Visgir1 Sat 10-Jan-26 15:06:10

I'm sure too there will be more twists and turns, this years has been great.

I'm in the Fiona is definitely not representing a certain age group. She just comes across as feeble and pathetic, totally insulting to that age group. Is she really like that or she's just good at being a Drama queen, who's judgement has been well off.
She totally miss read the room in the end... Good!

nanaK54 Sat 10-Jan-26 15:27:25

Oh no don't murder Jessie, she is my firm favourite!

JamesandJon33 Sat 10-Jan-26 17:46:48

Thank God Fiona didn’t say she was representing the Welsh.

No.

I did wonder if Amanda could be Reece's mother. She said she is lesbian but lesbians are mothers.

I wouldn't think a Welsh woman would spell Rhys as Reece!

Oreo Sat 10-Jan-26 18:26:28

Am looking forward to the next episode now 😁

Allira you get all sorts of spellings these days.

Allira you get all sorts of spellings these days.

But she pronounced it in the correct Welsh way and his had no 'h' in it.

Matthew is playing with fire by not only asking to be recruited but also wanting to murder another Faithful. He can't be trusted either way which makes him a liability in the long run if he were recruited.

I would do the opposite murder Matthew and recruit Jessie
