The latest season of BBC One's hit reality show The Traitors continues to deliver high-stakes drama, with another faithful player meeting their end in a dramatic round table banishment. The show, which pits secret 'Traitors' against unsuspecting 'Faithfuls' in a game of deception, has seen its cast whittled down significantly since the series began.
Harriet's Dramatic Exit
In the most recent episode, contestant Harriet was banished from the game. Her departure followed a bold and ultimately fatal strategic move. Harriet urged the group to vote for her, claiming this action would prove that fellow player Rachel was a Traitor. This high-risk gambit failed, leading to her expulsion from the Scottish castle. In a subsequent reveal, Harriet explained why she "lost it" during the tense scene and shared details of what occurred once the cameras stopped filming.
The Current State of Play
The game mechanics of The Traitors see contestants removed in two ways: banishment at the roundtable, where players vote out who they believe is a Traitor, and murder, where the hidden Traitors secretly eliminate a Faithful each night. The body count for the 2026 season is already substantial.
Contestants who have left the game are:
- Harriet (Banished)
- Fiona (Traitor - Banished)
- Hugo (Traitor - Banished)
- Reece (Murdered)
- Amanda (Banished)
- Maz (Murdered)
- Ross (Banished)
- Ben (Murdered)
- Judy (Banished)
- Netty (Murdered)
Who Remains in the Castle?
As the game enters its next phase, the remaining contestants must navigate an ever-shrinking circle of trust. The players still competing for the prize fund are:
Rachel (Traitor), Stephen (Traitor), Adam, Ellie, Faraaz, Jack, Jade, James, Jessie, Matthew, Roxy, and Sam.
With two confirmed Traitors, Rachel and Stephen, still embedded within the group, the pressure on the remaining Faithfuls is immense. Every alliance is fragile, and every conversation could be a deception. The audience is now left to speculate who will survive the next murderous night and which player will be accused at the following roundtable.
