Anyone up for a Traitors thread?

I wonder if they withhold the money to stop any leaks. It must be difficult to keep something like that to yourself, and if someone starts splashing the cash uncharacteristically it might lead to speculation?

Yes, I did wonder if that might be the case.

We are finding the Irish version rather dull to be honest.

Not much gravitas and not very interesting characters. Sadly.

A thumbs up for the Irish version on the Must Watch podcast so I’m going to give it a go.

It's on BBC 3 and BBC iPlayer

It must have been so hard because her mother became ill when she was just 40, Rachel would have been a teenager.
Very sad.

Similar happened to my family. I became severely ill with M.E. at 41, my children were 14 and 12.

Stephen was on This Morning on TV yesterday morning, and was saying that he doesn't have the prize money yet. I hope this doesn't mean that Rachel was unable to make memories with her mother.

I would have thought it would be in their bank accounts straight away!!

Looks like it. 🙁

She!

So sorry to hear that Rachel's mother has died. He plan to spend the winnings on making nice memories for her was so kind.

I heard that Amanda Holden is tipped to be in the next Celeb Traitors. I hope not, it would ruin it for me as I find her very irritating. I like Alison Hammond but don't know whether she would be right for it either.

I think the Irish traitors are hopeless! I can't see any of them lasting long.

They both have loud, self indulgent laughs.
One of them would be bad enough but please not both of them together. 😩

Does anyone watch that Amanda and Alan Spanish house restoration programme? I don’t watch it because both of them laughing constantly drives me mad ( and I love house restoration programmes usually). I just get the feeling that no one actually watches it, not just me…

If those two women are in the next celebrity Traitor, …it’s a big No No for me .

That is sad, I hope she managed to give her mum some of the experiences and treats she wanted to before she died.

Of course, I'm thinking the Traitors has only just ended but it probably finished about six months ago.

I was going to say it goes to show that spending all the time away in order to win some money probably counted for nothing and swon't bring her mum back- but maybe she did get to treat her to a few things after all...

Still if it was me I would be thinking I ought to have been with my mum and not in some Scottish castle lying to other people... maybe that's a bit harsh I don't know.

I hope the aforementioned names prove to be unfounded rumours. I can’t take to Danny Dyer and avoid anything he’s in.

As for Alison Hammond and Amanda Holden? I don’t think either of them are capable of the quiet conversations and whispering in corners that is part of the Traitors programme. They are loud.

Sad to read that Traitor’s winner Rachael’s mum has died. She spoke of her often during the programme.

Funny how the Irish one has a very different atmosphere to the UK version.

They seem to drink lots of tea for a start, but they also seem to go off and speak quietly to each other too- it seems less claustrophoic and more like just popping round to your mates house.

They are very good at figuring out the Traitors though- and the Traitors are doing a terrible job!

Grannynannywanny Tue 27-Jan-26 07:48:13

I really enjoyed episodes 3 and 4 of Traitors Ireland last night. I had only intended watching one episode but I was so engrossed I watched both.

Casdon Mon 26-Jan-26 21:38:55

I hope the next Celebrity series attracts some more heavyweight stars, like it did last time, not just the fluffy ones. I’d like to see Ian Hislop on it.

I keep reading rumours about potential contestants for the next Celebrity version

I'm trying to tell myself that it is all rumour or hearsay at this stage because the thought of Danny Dyer, Alison Hammond and Cheryl Cole all on my screen at the same time is making me a bit nervous, not in a good way. 😱
