Traitors 2026

The introduction of a “secret traitor” seemed pointless to me. It inhibited the scheming between the three known traitors by influencing their decisions for no apparent reason.

I hope the idea is abandoned for future series.

I think Fiona and Rachel are both shrewd and determined to win, and will happily betray each other. Fiona has already planted suspicions in people’s minds about Rachel. I think it’s a question of which of them will betray the other first.

Stephen doesn’t need much help from either of them in putting his foot in it.

Millie22, Thank you for jogging my memory. I knew Stephen and Rachel had been at the Family Tree and she had asked someone to leave. I just couldn't remember if it was James or Reece. A deliberate not mentioning I feel, either because Fiona is his Mum or he doesn't want murdered yet. Fiona irritates me but I think she irritates Rachel even more and Rachel takes no prisoners.

I also think Reece could be Fiona's son but then he did get very emotional after the round table.

Why isn't he mentioning the Rachel/Stephen incident at the family tree.

Re Fiona and the skulls, Reece didn't seem to mind that she was "buggering about" and not helping to release him.
Someone suggested he might be her son. She does have a son because she mentioned him earlier.

I find her very irritating with her nod nod wink wink, "Don't underestimate a woman of a certain age" to the camera in the interview room.

I don't think Rachel is keen. Stephen was like a rabbit in the headlights, all goggle-eyed and hammy overacting. I think Rachel will be trying to get rid of Fiona but of course can only do that by banishing her.

I have no idea who will be murdered. I've lost track of some of the young men.

This series seems staged-managed and the contestants are being briefed on how to behave (to pile on confusion for the viewers).
Fiona’s lack of participation in yesterday’s task was ridiculous. She only had to pick up 10 skulls for goodness sake.

I know what you mean, but I actually found Fiona buggering about with the skull collecting quite funny and she does have to keep up the 'dithering woman of a certain age' persona to put the faithfuls off the scent.

Who do we think has been murdered?

I'm ashamed to say I nodded off for five minutes and only woke to see a pile of skulls collapsing!

I have to admit I am not enjoying this series despite being a big Traitor's fan.

I am starting to lose interest since the Secret traitor was revealed to be Fiona, who I find very annoying and seems to be taking the p* out of the game. She clearly doesn't need the prize money or care about winning it.

Maybe it is because we are in the middle of it and I really hope Fiona will go soon and we start to learn more about the other competitors who may really need to win the prize-money.

I don't think the producers chose their participants that well. Reece didn't seem to realise how emotionally brutal the game could be...has he ever even watched it?

It isn't like any other reality show and I think some of the people maybe just wanted to get on any reality show regardless...

I don't like Fiona. I thought it was a giveaway when she said during a mission "I don't need a shield at the moment" and smirked to herself.

Why did she make no effort to collect skulls during that last mission?

Don’t take to Rachel but Fiona’s clever and Stephen’s a gonna

Oh that Fiona I wouldn't like to be her enemy . Her and Rachel are a force to be reckoned with . Stephens eyes are like round saucers, he's running scared . Loving it

I like Fiona and think she's playing a very clever game.

Someone posts on instagram and they narrowed it down to Fiona by looking at previous series.

I can’t take to Rachel there is something very “Head Girl” ish in her manner.
She would sell her granny to get her hands on the prize money.

I admit to not thinking the secret Traitor could be Fiona.It did seem obvious to some but I missed the clues, mainly because I find her very irritating and annoying.

I hope Rachel gets rid of her. I really want Rachel to win now.
I think Stephen will go pretty soon.

I thought I would find it less interesting now the secret Traitor is known, but I'm liking the twists and turns and finding out more about the ones that are left.

Fiona is a pain.

fiona was so obvious, she didn't try and get any skulls

I hope it's not Sam as I like him.

Poor Sam looked very miffed in the cage, will the traitors go for him or for Reece?

I'm feeling very smug I said it was Fiona!

Me too 🤭

Stephen slipped up at the round table by saying he was thinking something last night, then correcting it by saying “oh sorry, this morning” and Rachel’s ploy in suggesting Ross’s knowledge of Hugo in the turret, was spotted by Ellie (Ross’s girlfriend as it turned out, listening intently). When she reflects on that she’ll have her eye on Rachel.

I'm feeling very smug I said it was Fiona!

*I think the confused, dippy blonde Welsh lady is exactly that, and not acting*
I think you might be underestimating her she was a professional lady, working as a government official so she can’t be totally dippy Sparklefizz

"a professional lady" .... so she says.
