The latest series of BBC's The Traitors has delivered its most dramatic twist yet, sparking a flurry of betting activity as fans try to guess the identity of the secret traitor. This follows the historic and rapid banishment of traitor Hugo, which forced his fellow conspirators Stephen and Rachel to reclaim their power and unlock the chance to finally meet the mystery player.
Bookmakers Name Their Favourites
Ahead of the crucial reveal in Wednesday's episode, bookmakers from UK online casino Spin Genie have released their latest odds. Harriet has emerged as the clear frontrunner at 3/1, with viewers pointing to her calm composure and ability to avoid suspicion. Hot on her heels is Ellie, priced at 10/3, whose sharp and strategic gameplay has raised eyebrows among the faithful.
"It’s shaping up to be a close toss-up between Harriet and Ellie as to who will be unveiled as the secret Traitor this Wednesday," said a Spin Genie representative. "Many fans believe they’ve already pieced together subtle clues from early episodes, with both players displaying behaviour that could suggest inside knowledge of the twist."
The Contenders and Wildcard Picks
Other strong contenders in the betting market include the outspoken Sam, who remains firmly in the conversation at 4/1. His confident and authoritative approach has drawn significant attention, with some speculating it could be a tactic to divert narrative focus away from himself.
The list of potential wildcards adds further intrigue to the speculation:
- Adam is a 5/1 shot, with some believing his low-profile game could be the ultimate giveaway.
- Jade follows at 6/1.
- Fiona is priced at 7/1.
- Roxy sits at 10/1, and her unveiling would reportedly cause a major shock.
Retired police detective Amanda is also attracting interest at 9/2, with fans questioning if her professional background makes her ideally suited to hiding in plain sight.
Fan Theories and Anticipated Reveal
The hunt for the secret traitor has dominated fan discussions, with every subtle interaction and potential slip-up being dissected for clues. The unprecedented early exit of Hugo has heightened the tension, leaving the remaining players and the audience on high alert for the next betrayal.
As the representative from Spin Genie noted, the odds are expected to shift rapidly as the Wednesday night reveal approaches. The identity of the secret traitor promises to redefine alliances and strategies for the remainder of what is already proving to be a highly memorable series of The Traitors.
