Viewers of The Traitors are once again convinced they’ve spotted something the cameras aren’t spelling out — and this time, it centres on Jessie and James.
Fans have been debating their connection for days, with theories bouncing between “long-lost siblings” and “definitely more than friends.”
After Thursday night’s episode, the relationship rumours only got louder.
A Slip of the Tongue That Got Everyone Talking
The moment that really set tongues wagging came during a quiet one-on-one chat between the pair.
While discussing trust, loyalty and suspicion, James referred to what was happening as “our game.”
It was subtle, but for viewers already watching closely, it felt like a giveaway.
James reassured Jessie that he wasn’t a Traitor, telling her he didn’t blame her for doubting him.
Jessie, clearly thinking several steps ahead, questioned how the Traitors could have known Adam was vulnerable.
James later doubled down on the joint language, saying the entire moment could make or break “our game.”
For fans, that wording wasn’t accidental.
Social Media Thinks It’s Too Much to Ignore
It didn’t take long for social media to pounce.
One viewer summed up what many were thinking, pointing out how often Jessie and James refer to themselves as “we,” “us” and “our.”
To some, it sounded less like casual alliance talk and more like two people who already know each other inside the castle.
Their conversation also touched on how suspicion might now ease off them, since the Traitors’ gamble to murder Adam succeeded.
Adam didn’t have a shield — unlike Jessie and James — making him the only possible victim that night.
The Jump That Started the Rumours
This isn’t the first time viewers have questioned their closeness.
Earlier in the series, Jessie leapt into James’ arms during a task, later telling him she was “so proud” of him.
In a game built on paranoia, that kind of physical affection rarely goes unnoticed.
Since then, every glance, whisper and shared smile has been dissected online.
The Mystery of the Second Scroll
While Jessie and James dominate fan theories, another supposed twist has also had viewers spiralling.
During Uncloaked, banished players read a scroll revealing the identities of the Traitors — but eagle-eyed fans noticed a second scroll sitting unopened nearby.
Naturally, theories exploded. Was there another hidden twist? Extra secret relationships? A game-changing reveal still to come?
Twist Theory Shut Down — Mostly
That speculation has now been cooled.
According to reports, the second scroll is simply used to reveal known secret relationships, such as mother-and-daughter duo Judy and Roxy, and couple Ross and Ellie.
Those moments, it’s claimed, don’t always make the final cut of the show.
Still, that explanation hasn’t stopped fans from questioning why the scroll is rarely shown being opened.
Fans Aren’t Buying It
Online reactions show viewers aren’t entirely convinced the mystery ends there.
Some insist there has to be more coming, while others admit they’re baffled as to why the scroll keeps being hidden.
Questions like “What aren’t they showing us?” and “What else is going to be revealed?” continue to flood timelines after every episode.
Adam’s Shock Exit Rocks the Castle
Thursday’s episode delivered drama regardless of the rumours.
Builder-turned-ghost-hunter Adam was murdered after Traitors Rachel and Stephen took a major risk in the turret.
Unsure who had secured a shield during the mission, they gambled — and got it right.
The next morning, the mood at breakfast shifted instantly when Adam failed to appear, leaving the group stunned.
Shields, Strategy and Another Faithful Falls
The tension didn’t ease as the episode continued.
A chilling mission brought shields back into play, with Sam choosing protection over adding money to the prize fund.
Even so, the pot climbed to £54,250.
At the roundtable, pressure hit breaking point.
Sam was banished — only to reveal he had always been a Faithful.
His exit made Harriet’s earlier warnings meaningless, as yet another innocent player was eliminated.
Standing beside Claudia Winkleman, Sam calmly addressed the group, confirming what they’d feared: they’d got it wrong again.
So… What Happens Now?
With alliances questioned, shields influencing decisions and Jessie and James still under the microscope, the game feels more unpredictable than ever.
Whether there’s another twist waiting or fans are simply reading too deeply, one thing is certain — The Traitors has everyone watching closely, and trusting no one.
