Kenny Crowned Celebrity Traitors Favourite As Yawn Twist Sends Rivals Drifting
Gambling.com’s odds tracker puts the Traitors’ three players at a combined 66% implied chance, but Maya and James A. are losing ground.
King Kenny has been recruited, and Gambling.com can exclusively reveal he is now the man to beat. Our new Celebrity Traitors Odds tracker makes the content creator 15/8 to win the pot, a 34.8% implied chance, after he joined the Traitors in Episode 5.
Crown Jewels
Miranda Hart is second at 11/4 (26.7%) and is the only Faithful priced as a genuine contender. Maya Jama, protected by a shield, is third at 4/1 (20.0%). James Acaster sits fourth at 8/1 (11.1%).
Together, the three Traitors account for 65.9% of implied outright probability. That is just over half of the market once the margin is stripped out, for a trio who have already lost Hannah Fry at the round table.
Yawn Of The Dead
Maya and James are the pair on the slide, and the culprit is a yawn. Episode 6 ended with Maya, James and Kenny luring Jerry Hall and Ross Kemp into the library. There the Traitors apparently attempted a murder “in plain sight” by getting a victim to yawn.
Viewers were quick to say that Maya and James’s exaggerated yawning looked forced. Many also pointed to Ross Kemp, who spent the scene watching the pair with growing suspicion. If the Faithful’s most paranoid player survives the night, the Traitors’ two most senior members could be in his sights.
Maya’s shield may protect her from murder, but it does nothing at the round table. James Acaster is the 4/1 favourite for next banishment (20.0%), level with Kenny, while Maya is 6/1 (14.3%).
Murder, He Wrote
Jerry Hall and Ross Kemp are joint favourites to be the next victim at 9/2 (18.2%), the two names left hanging when the credits rolled. James Blunt follows at 13/2 (13.3%) and Sebastian Croft at 8/1 (11.1%). Miranda Hart is the safest Faithful at 16/1 (5.9%).
Traitors cannot be murdered, so they have no price in this market, and shield-holders are priced as long shots.
Faithful Fall Short
Behind Miranda, the Faithful are scattered. Sharon Rooney is best placed at 22/1 (4.3%), followed by Michael Sheen, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Romesh Ranganathan at 25/1. Ross Kemp is the longest shot of the 13 players left at 50/1 (2.0%).
Three Faithful have been banished against one Traitor caught. The pot has climbed to £46,000 after the Statue mission banked £7,500.
Our traders will re-price every market shortly after Episode 7, which airs on Thursday 22 October at 8pm on BBC One.
