An independent Celebrity Traitors fan league
The manager’s survival guide
Trust no one. Order your bench.
Five suspects. One captain. Absolutely no loyalty.
Your invitation to the round table
Pick 5 different celebrities: one confirmed Traitor and four confirmed Faithfuls.
Add an ordered bench of up to 3 Faithfuls + 1 Traitor. Other managers can pick the same people.
Send your team, bench order and captain preference list to the organiser before the opening deadline.
No transfers. Active players stay until they leave the programme. Before each deadline, you can update your bench and captain preferences.
Your first eligible captain preference gets the armband. Otherwise, your previous captain stays; failing that, your lowest-numbered occupied place takes over.
Your captain doubles all points.
Yes, the penalties too.
Bench players score nothing. A captain stays captain for the whole game day.
Only your opening active lineup scores. Points stack.
Votes received
Absent or immune from banishment? No received-vote points. A Traitor’s vote for a Faithful scores 0 itself.
No votes received +1 + vote for a Traitor as a Faithful +4 + survive +2 = 7 points. Captain? 14.
An exit means no survival points that day. Withdrawals carry no penalty. Recruitment changes your player’s role, but earns no points.
Replacements are automatic, using the bench locked for the day of the exit. They start scoring on the next game day.
| Contestants left | Refill up to |
|---|---|
| 13 or more | 5 places |
| 9–12 | 4 places |
| 8 or fewer | 3 places |
| Entering the finale | 2 places |
Survivors are never cut. You keep them even if you’re above the replacement limit.
Match the departed player’s role until the final game day, or you enter the finale. Then any eligible reserve can fill a vacancy. Retired places never return.
Game days, not episodes. A game day runs from breakfast through the overnight outcome. An overnight murder belongs to the day before its breakfast reveal.
Send changes before the published deadline, before the relevant episode is first released. Late is too late.
No update? Previous instructions carry forward, with promoted or eliminated reserves removed.
Pending is not zero. Cliffhangers and hidden roles can keep scores provisional until the programme reveals the outcome.
The stakes rise. So do the penalties.
Only declared winners in your active team earn the bonus. There are no mid-finale substitutions.
Highest total wins the league.
