Kirby Bentley wins The Traitors Australia 2026

Kirby Bentley has won The Traitors Australia 2026, claiming the entire $200,600 prize pool after successfully concealing her identity as an original Traitor.

The Australian Survivor all-star defeated Faithful Keira Maguire during the Grand Finale, becoming the last player standing after a season of deception, suspicion and near-banishments.

“This game is hard... it’s so good not to lie anymore,” Kirby said after her victory.

The final banishments

Kirby entered the final stage alongside Keira, Krissy Marsh and fellow Traitor Rhys Nicholson.

After Rhys was banished at the final Round Table, Kirby, Keira and Krissy gathered around the fire to decide whether another Traitor remained in the game.

Kirby and Keira both elected to banish again, eliminating Krissy and leaving the pair to reveal their identities.

Keira declared herself a Faithful before Kirby revealed she had been an original Traitor since the beginning of the competition, securing the entire prize pool.

Kirby survives repeated suspicion

Selected by host Gretel Killeen as one of the original Traitors, Kirby attracted suspicion during the opening days of the game.

However, the former AFLW player survived each Round Table and kept her identity hidden throughout the season.

“I just won The Traitors when I nearly got banished on day two, day three, day four, day five... in all the days, I nearly got banished every single day!”

Kirby, a proud Noongar Yamatji woman, said the victory meant more than the competition.

“Everything that I’ve done has definitely been worth it. This is massive, not only for my family, but for Aboriginal people, and women as well."
