The treacherous games continue on BBC One as The Traitors returns tonight, Wednesday 7 January, with another nail-biting episode promising a fresh murder and banishment. The fourth series has viewers gripped, with the identity of the mysterious Secret Traitor becoming the central talking point.
Who Will Be The Next Victim?
According to the latest betting odds from MyBettingSites, the retired civil servant Maz has the highest chance of being murdered by the Traitors, with odds standing at 6/1. Analysts suggest his position is precarious after appearing twice on the secret murder shortlist compiled by the hidden Traitor.
He is closely followed in the 'next murder' market by Amanda, who has odds of 2/1. Meanwhile, for the next banishment at the roundtable, Ross is the current favourite to be sent home, carrying odds of 3/1, with Amanda again a strong contender at 4/1.
The Hunt For The Secret Traitor
The biggest mystery surrounds the unseen player operating under the red cloak. The betting data strongly indicates this secret role is held by a woman. Fiona currently leads the market as the most likely Secret Traitor with short odds of 2/1.
A spokesperson for MyBettingSites commented: "Early shortlists suggest a female Secret Traitor, and Fiona’s insistence that she’s deliberately playing dumb around the others only adds fuel to the fire." They also noted that Rachel could be vulnerable to banishment if she was spotted shortlisting Faithfuls for murder.
An Early Favourite To Win It All
While the drama unfolds, one Faithful has already impressed viewers and bookmakers with sharp instincts. Jessie currently has the highest odds of winning the entire series at 3/1. She has managed to demonstrate strong gameplay while avoiding drawing too much damaging attention to herself in the early stages.
The spokesperson added: "Jessie has impressed early with sharp instincts and strong gameplay, while avoiding too much attention, which is why she currently leads the market to go on and win the whole game." Tonight's episode on BBC One will reveal if the odds-makers' predictions come true.
