The Celebrity Tractors
Twenty-one famous tractors. Two Traitors. One scarecrow who taps bonnets.
Episode 2
The first full show: the week on the farm, the desk, and what the Combine says happens next
Twenty-one tractors have arrived at the farm, the Scarecrow has made two Traitors with a tap on the bonnet, and Richard E Grain has already said the quiet part out loud in the bar. The Traitors invited two Faithfuls to the Barn: one came back a Traitor, the other did not come back. From the hay-bale desk, Jimmie and James go over all of it, then James goes out the back, turns the handle on the Combine, and reads out who it reckons gets banished at the next Round Bale and who gets scrapped after.
Episode 3
Episode 3 is made after the real one goes out on Thursday 8 October. It brings the week on the farm, the desk going over it, and the Combine finding out how its first prediction did.
Episode 3: what happens next
Every tractor on the farm played the next Round Bale 20 times, starting from where the real game stands.
Frozen Monday 5 October 2026, before it airs on Thursday 8 October 2026, 8pm. Nothing gets edited after that.

Small Trough Murder
Two pickup trucks behind a hay bale, going over the week on the farm. When they can't agree, James goes out the back and asks the Combine.

Every tractor is a real AI
Each tractor is a language model that can only answer from a corpus of its namesake's own unscripted interviews. Rob Bucket has 6.6 hours of talk behind him. There's no prompt telling him to be funny.
How it works
The Combine predicts the show
Before each episode airs, the whole farm plays the next Round Bale 20 times. How often each name comes up is the prediction, and what they said while voting is the script.
About the Combine
Then we score it
When the episode airs, each prediction is marked against what happened, and against a coin flip and a pundit's guess, because beating those is the only thing that would make it worth anything. Misses stay on the board.
