The treacherous game of deception continues tonight as BBC's The Traitors returns for its fifth episode of the fourth series on Thursday, January 8.
Shock Revelation Reshapes the Game
Viewers were left reeling after the previous episode's dramatic conclusion, which saw Fiona unveiled as the Secret Traitor. This unexpected twist left her fellow conspirators, Rachel and Stephen, visibly stunned and has thrown the already complex dynamics of the castle into further disarray.
With the game in a constant state of flux, betting experts at MyBettingSites.co.uk have analysed the fallout and provided updated odds on who will survive, who will fall, and who might ultimately claim the prize.
Who is in the Firing Line Tonight?
According to the latest data, Sam is the most likely target for a murder by the Traitors, with odds of 5/4 (a 44% implied probability). He is closely followed by Maz, with odds of 6/4 (40%).
When it comes to the roundtable banishment, suspicion is mounting on a different player. Stephen currently has the highest odds of being banished next at 2/1 (33%), with Sam again featuring as the second most likely at 4/1 (20%).
The New Front-Runner for the Crown
In a significant shift, the outright winner market has a new leader. Fiona now has the highest odds of winning Series 4, priced at 2/1 (33%). Her stealthy gameplay appears to be paying off, keeping her well under the radar while others attract heat.
A spokesperson for MyBettingSites commented: “With Reece already under suspicion and Maz’s exit risking blowback on Stephen, the Traitors’ safest move for the next murder is Sam.”
Regarding Stephen's position, they added: “When it comes to the next banishment, Stephen is being named more often by the Faithful, and surviving the forest is likely going to intensify that suspicion, putting him firmly in the firing line.”
On Fiona's rise to favouritism, the spokesperson said: “While other Traitors are starting to attract heat, Fiona’s quiet deviousness keeps her completely under the radar, making her the standout to go all the way.”
The analysis also highlighted Faithful player Jessie, who continues to impress after correctly identifying Stephen as a Traitor, solidifying her position as the clear second favourite to win the entire competition.
