spoiler note: this page and the clips name the Traitors, who got recruited and who got banished, through episode 6, which aired October 16, 2026. below are our Celebrity Traitors clips: why two episodes a week is the perfect pace, the math on recruiting Hannah Fry, whether the UK version is just more fun than the US one (and why Alan Cumming isn't there), and why makeup is suddenly evidence. each one has the full transcript, a short backstory and our take. for the US civilian season, see our Traitors: New Blood page. as always, it's commentary and opinion, not reporting.
