fritzelly · 23-01-2026 10:44PM

WTG Rachel and Stephen - you deserve to win and fair play to both of them sticking together right to the end

corkie · 23-01-2026 10:44PM

Fair duce to the them both! To play the game so well through out!

freshpopcorn · 23-01-2026 10:46PM

Fantastic ending!

Honestly deligthed for them!

What a performance, well done Traitors

mewso · 23-01-2026 10:48PM

The first Scottish man from an island and the first northern irish woman with children to win as traitors.

Hannibal_Smith · 23-01-2026 10:48PM

Woohoo!! Super ending. Really thought Stephen would turn. Fair play, delighted for them both

What in the name of god was Faraaz thinking with that final vote 😆 Was yelling at the TV!

A fair and honest win for the traitors, even if Rachel should have been nowhere near that fire pit 😅

Delighted for them both. Stephen had 3 chances at least to vote for Racheal and take all the money and he did not.

Irish woman.

The Traitors deserved their win. Rachel was lucky to make it, Stephen had every chance to go solo tonight. She wouldn't have saved him if he had the same level of heat. Faraaz threw it away allowing Rachel to turn him so easily.

As well as not wanting to betray Rachel I guess Stephen couldn't face standing beside Jack and destroying him at the reveal.

Oh Faaraz and Jack will be kicking themselves. Jack for changing his vote last night and Faaraz for deciding to go after Jade tonight.

Great ending to the series. Stephen really flew under the radar and made some really good tactical decisions throughout. He also had plenty of opportunities to ditch Rachel but kept to his promise so fair play to him.

Has a series of the traitors ever been aired either on network or to a test audience where the viewers didn't know who the were traitors until they were banished?

Wonder how that would be to view.

iamwhoiam · 23-01-2026 11:07PM

lovec that ending . The Traitors won by being faithful to each other

funkey_monkey · 23-01-2026 11:07PM

The detective sitting there shaking her head a few times now!

Penn · 23-01-2026 11:08PM

A well deserved win. Not just because both Traitors played really good games, but the remaining Faithful were all useless. Faraaz really lost it for them going for Stephen first over Rachel.

Rachel absolutely clung on miraculously, and only made it due to Stephen. But she tended to defend herself pretty well and never gave up.

Stephen most of all deserved the win. He was dodgy at the start, but can't really fault him after that. Would also have been really disappointing if he'd betrayed Rachel. Traitors to the end but Faithful to each other. A great end to the game.

I just said this to my mother.

I wonder how would it play out.

johnny_ultimate · 23-01-2026 11:13PM

On a human level, it’s great to see Rachel and Stephen sticking together and securing a joint win. I’d have done the same thing in their position.

On an entertainment level, Stephen writing down Rachel’s name on that final slate would’ve made incredible television.

corcaigh07 · 23-01-2026 11:17PM

Baffling that Faraaz and Jack didn’t team up to vote out Rachel or Stephen at the pit first, would have got the 50-50 split at least.

Delighted the traitors won though, well played.

Infoanon · 23-01-2026 11:20PM

Rachel and Stephen executed the perfect strategy at the end, brilliant ending .

Worked for the traitors because they remained loyal to each other.

Celebrity Traitors Series 2 in next into production, Irish traitors starts on BBC3 this Sunday and Traitors USA is normally aired on BBC3 as well.

hynesie08 · 23-01-2026 11:22PM

The dumbest bunch of faithfuls I've ever seen, not one of them deserved to win.

I don't think they truly trusted each other.

Before the roundtable Jack made it clear he was voting for Rachel...Faraaz still voted for Jade...at the fire pit he was going to vote Rachel again....Faraaz votes for Stephen lol

The rest is entertainment talked about that, seemingly it would take an insane amount of work and editing.

The odds are completely stacked in favour of the traitors though.

They seemed to regard every episode as a new week, forgetting what came before,sheep.

Yeah you would lose so much from the show doing it that way. You couldn't have the confessionals to camera because the Traitors would then have to lie/act during them rather than give their genuine thoughts and feelings. You'd lose the strategy of the game and seeing how close the Traitors come to getting caught each episode. You lose the secret trials put to the Traitors such as trying to murder in plain sight.

The Secret Traitor was the closest we've come to getting that, where we the audience didn't get to learn their identity, but doing that for the full series I think would be a disaster. We only get to see their full day heavily and selectively edited down to about an hour. Of course we'd never be able to actually figure out who the Traitors were.
