When is the Traitors on next? The release schedule explained, plus everyone’s odds of winning

by

The popular show The Traitors is returning for its fourth season, following the success of last year’s celebrity edition. This time, 22 regular people – some more remarkable than others – are competing, and four of them are secretly working as traitors.

But here’s a great new development: only three of the contestants – Hugo, Rachel, and Stephen – are aware of each other. A fourth person is secretly working against the group, and even the audience doesn’t know who it is, which makes things incredibly exciting.

We’re on the edge of our seats and can’t wait for the next episode! When does it air? Let us share the details…

Who’s going to win?

It’s still too soon to be certain, but based on what we’ve seen in the game and what we know about the players, we’re starting to form some ideas.

Stronger chance of winning:

Fiona is considered unlikely to be the Traitor – she doesn’t seem capable of deception. We believe she’s safe from being revealed as the Traitor for at least a few days.

Jessie quickly became popular with the other contestants during the train ride. However, will this likability draw attention to her, making her a potential suspect?

Rachel is the most likely of the current group to succeed as a traitor. She has a natural talent for it.

Faraaz – 14/1 – Likeable, not too assertive. A smart strategy.

Ben – 14/1 – He’s flying so far under the radar he’s almost invisible

Ellie – 14/1 – Another dark horse. That’s how to play it in the early game.

Jack – 14/1 – If he can keep from leading any investigations he may do well

Maz, met on January 14th, seems like a good person and doesn’t appear to be overly assertive. It’s a good strategy to avoid drawing attention to yourself.

Netty – 14/1 – She will make friends, and that’s what you need in the castle

Reece – 20/1 – Needs to keep his strategy to himself, because having a strategy is an instant no-no

Good chance of being murdered/evicted:

Ross – January 30th – While I don’t mean to criticize him, the fact that he’d already met another contestant isn’t going to be helpful.

James – 30-/1 – He needs to stop throwing out names with such wild abandon

Judy, born on January 30th, was quickly suspected for reasons that weren’t clear. She’s also hiding something, which isn’t making things easier.

Adam – 30/1 – He’s perhaps got too strong an opinion of his own abilities

Matthew – 30/1 – Describes himself as “really competitive”. That won’t help

Jade – 30/1 – Having a PhD (or nearly having one) means absolutely nothing in this game

Roxy – 30/1 – Being a secret daughter is fine as long as it stays secret. What are the odds?

Stephen – 30/1 – We love him, but he seems to have too much heart to be a real traitor

Sam, currently at 50/1 odds, seems overconfident and acts like he has all the answers. However, true wisdom lies in recognizing the limits of our own understanding.

Amanda – 50/1 – Being a cop won’t help her. Neither will keeping it secret.

Harriet is a 50-year-old barrister. It’s often difficult to connect with people in this profession, and public trust can be low.

Hugo is a huge risk – at 100/1 odds, he won’t last long. His unpredictable and potentially dangerous behavior – described as a ‘psychopathic teddy bear’ – simply doesn’t fit this environment.

The latest issue of Living Legends is now available, and this edition celebrates the incredible Dolly Parton! You can purchase ‘Dolly at 80’ at newsagents or online for only £8.99.
