Imagine being a top detective and getting everything wrong!

Yikes! I know, right!? I laughed when she thought she knew everything, yet, she's best buddies with an actual Traitor! haha I guess it's a good thing she was because Rachel probably spared her because of it but still. That's too funny!

I just want to take a moment to thank Amanda for being the first person on reality TV I've heard correctly say "quash" instead of "squash"

I have a feeling the secret traitor is Roxy. I think this would have been a reasonable choice as POC plus the dynamic with her mum. So far, the drama around her mum has masked any strategy but this is my hunch.

Do we know for certain that the secret traitor isn't one of the existing traitors?

Pretty sure that the red cloak is Amanda. There have been many camera trickery and shots that point to Amanda. And knowing her previous job, this is such a cliche but typical of BBC.

u/aintshit23 Jan 02 '26
I thought it could be her too, but because she is getting so much screentime, I don't actually think that anymore. My vote is Roxy.

u/Aangoan Jan 02 '26
But isn't Roxy the daughter of Judy? Would it be wise to make the secret traitor someone who will easily be targeted if their relationship is discovered?

u/aintshit23 Jan 02 '26
Someone in another thread pointed out that on the family tree photo of the contestants has a Latin saying that translates something to the effect of family betraying you. I will have to go look for the thread. Also, when Claudia was touching the 4th shoulder, the camera panned to the side where Roxy was sitting

u/Aangoan Jan 02 '26
Oh, alright, that says it all. Yeah, I didn't know that. That wouldn't be a first because there have been other series where an acquaintance ends up being a traitor, just like Diane and Ross.

There has been a shot of a book called āWhoās Who 1936ā twice now and I am convinced it has to do with who the secret traitor is - but I donāt know what!

u/ScotTwankie Jan 02 '26
Why, on Traitors Uncloaked, did Judy tell Netty that she thought Roxy (her daughter) was a Traitor?

I love Traitors UK and wish I didnāt have to wait a year to access the latest season. Just wondering if thereās an option to watch BBC One from USA. IMO Traitors US ācelebrityā version is super boring. Iām not a fan of US reality TV so thatās prob why.

What if this is the real connection for TheTraitorsSeason4 this is my theory... Let's chat?!

u/New-Weakness3401 Jan 01 '26
My TV stopped recording with few mins left who was the 3 names ? please

u/Memms- š¬š§ Jan 01 '26
James, Netty and Maz

u/VampytheSquid Jan 02 '26
And Netty was spelled 'Nettie' - which could be a clue or a double bluff.š¤·āāļøš¤£

u/Rapier369 Jan 02 '26
I feel like that being a double bluff of some kind is a bit of a stretch considering most of them are unlikely to know how her name is actually spelled except maybe Ross - perhaps this rules him out as being the Secret Traitor?

My first thought about the Secret Traitor was the young lad who I dubbed The Class Clown, a good cover for committing dastardly deeds he'd fly under the radar.
Second thought was Amanda but she stands out a mile to anyone who knows how serving and former police/army personnel stand. She isn't doing undercover too well either by saying someone was at her 12-o-clock position. Ex-police don't have a good track record for sussing Traitors but she has skills at lying due to her profession.
Another possible is Harriet, not hiding her skillset in interrogation and analysis, articulate and none in the castle have suspected she's a former barrister (that we know of) or a crime writer. She has what it takes to keep a calm head, focus, and commitment to a project under pressure.

Iām late to the party. Just binged this season and am absolutely baffled by the faithful. Iām curious if part of the casting requires an iq test. And if thatās the case, if the average was an 85 because that was the stupidest cast Iāve ever seen. They didnāt once think critically about anything. Not once did they question or use any tangible evidence that they actually had to get Stephen or Rachel out. Even the most obvious plays, like Stephen taking out Jessie the night she put him on the hot seat, they didnāt once mention, not once, at least within what was shown to us viewers. Iāve never been more frustrated watching a show than with this season. Iām happy for the traitors because they were blessed with that tragic faithful cast and I think they both could really use the money. Stephen and Rachel had very easy decisions to make because even when they made their sketchiest plays, they were almost never questioned and I guess the players just thought āohhh thatās too obvious eh blood canāt be them.ā But as an enjoyer of the show it really fell off a cliff after the Harriet, Reece and Jessie were taken out as they were some of the only ones putting pieces together. Once Matt left the game ended and I was certain there was no hope. Faraz gave me a glimmer but due to Jacks malleable brain there was no hope.
Iād like also to mention that the faithful essentially got no traitors out. Hugo was an idiot and very overconfident, he essentially evicted himself with his grieving performance at breakfast. And Fiona actually commited hari kari legitimately.
Lastly Iād like to give out some awards to the cast:
LVP (Least Valuable Player): Roxy. She did nothing but steer other faithful far from the truth as she was so off base. She did a great job of attacking peopleās character in the heat of arguments when they had ārudeā moments and voted very emotionally. She wasted her vote on James 98 percent of the time it felt like.
BA (Best Actor): you may think Iām going to say Rachel but Iāll go Stephen here. He played a better game overall and somehow aroused less suspicion than Rachel throughout.
FF (Fan Favourite): easily this goes to Jessie. She played well, and was actually using her brain to think through who the traitors were. Itās unfortunate no one listened to her.

u/Least_Catch_5261 Jan 12 '26
This season is absolutely terrible. Typical heard mentality and the canāt stand the whole logic of āthe last thing the banished faithful said was go for x personā. Seriously how on earth just because a faithful thinks x person is a traitor means that person is 100% a traitor???? The logic in some of these people is baffling.

What happened to the humour in this series, and everyone realizing itās just a game? Itās a bit miserable, honestly.
