The Traitors 2026 live: Ellie banished and Jessie murdered as Rachel and Stephen choose outcome of explosive ‘ceremonial dagger’ twist

Date:

Good night!

Well that was exhausting and sad and ever so slightly camp, wasn’t it? We’ve reached the end of the week all knowing the players a bit better, don’t you think?

Thanks for reading. The Traitors is back next Wednesday.

ICYMI: Ellie’s banishment!

And here’s the moment Ellie was voted out of the show, a product of Rachel’s genius maneuvering…

ICYMI: Jade’s very sad revelation

Jade revealed a horrible part of her recent history tonight, in a very surprising dinner party scene.

So we’re coming to a close tonight with Rachel and Stephen deciding who will receive the dagger and those two votes.

Who it will be? Find out next week!

Introducing… the dagger!

And here comes Claudia with a ceremonial dagger, which she proceeds to stab into the dinner party table. Camp!

The twist? Next episode one person will have the dagger, which gives them two votes at the roundtable. The second twist? The Traitors will decide who gets this power — and it could be either a Faithful or one of the Traitors themselves.

So these stories have all got a bit heavy, haven’t they? And there I was yawning a few minutes ago.

Jade has obviously just expressed an incredibly tragic bit of her personal life, while Rachel uses her dinner party time to talk about her mother’s recent dementia diagnosis, and her eagerness to be able to give her a fantastic holiday using the prize money.

Stephen has discussed growing up gay in a deeply religious environment, Roxy has just discussed being adopted. Argh, it’s very melancholy!

Jade discusses her past

Was going to make a mean comment about how boring this treacly dinner party is until Jade said that her mother and half-sister were both “found dead” in 2018, which is obviously incredibly horrible!

She says that is the reason she’s quite guarded as a person, and why it takes longer for her to warm up to people.

Surrounded by cheese and wine, the players settle down for a lovely, non-dramatic dinner party where absolutely nothing nefarious will happen.

Claudia has teased a twist, because of course.

“I am amazed I am still here,” Jade says.

No murder tonight, folks

And in another twist, Claudia announces there will be no murder tonight, and instead the players will have a dinner party.

That said, nothing says “secret terrifying in-person task” than a Traitors dinner party.

Stephen, meanwhile, echoes the nation by confessing he can’t believe not a single person voted for him despite his arch nemesis Jessie being murdered overnight. He’s very good at this too!
