The Traitors Series 4 Odds: Traitor Stephen New Favourite For Win In Friday's Final
Another nail-biting series of The Traitors is down to its final episode, after two more Faithful fell this week.
Roxy was 11/8 favourite on betting sites to be murdered next, and she was bumped off by the team of cloaks.
That was after the Traitors - Rachel and Stephen - played a huge part in Matthew being banished.
But the Traitors were dealt a huge blow on Thursday night's episode when they and the Faithful successfully completed the latest mission, which meant the Traitors lost the opportunity to commit their final murder.
However, worse is potentially to come for Rachel. She and Faithful James both tied for votes twice in the latest banishment, which is the last time the departed player must reveal whether they are a Traitor or a Faithful.
It's now up to chance whether Rachel or James go.
The episode ended on a cliffhanger, with both players - who are 5/6 apiece to exit - about to open the Chests of Chance.
Whoever doesn't find a shield in their chest is out of the game.
The Traitors Odds: Who Will Be Banished Next?
Contestant | Odds | Probability |
James | 5/6 | 54.5% |
Rachel | 5/6 | 54.5% |
Traitor Triumph?
A huge amount depends on whether James or Rachel go home.
If Rachel departs at the beginning of the finale, it will make Faraaz look like a solid Faithful after he led the charge against her.
Jack also appears to have cemented himself as a strong Faithful, and it wouldn't be a surprise if those two ended up winning the series together and splitting the pot.
The Faithful are 6/4 on betting apps for victory, but the Traitors are 4/6 favourites, and that is largely down to Stephen.
The Traitors Odds: Which Team Will Win?
Team | Odds | Probability |
Traitors | 4/6 | 60% |
Faithful | 6/4 | 40% |
He managed to completely avoid any suspicion during Thursday night's roundtable, and the only person who seemed to question him was fellow Traitor Rachel.
If she does stay and it's James who goes then the Traitors team have a better chance of winning, but perhaps Stephen doesn't.
He appeared shocked when Rachel told him in the turret that she might mention his name at the roundtable, and, if Rachel stays, the pair may do battle in the final.
Stephen Can Sneak Victory
While it is up in the air whether the Traitors or Faithful will be weakened, until we see the Chests of Chance result, Traitor Stephen is the new 8/11 favourite to win this year's series.
If he can play the final roundtable as he did the roundtable banishment on Thursday night, then he has a huge chance of victory.
But if Stephen does get found out, it will likely be by Faraaz or Jack - or both.
Faraaz is Evens to win this year's Traitors, followed by 11/10 chance Jack.
The Traitors Odds: Winner(s)
Contestant | Odds | Probability |
Stephen | 8/11 | 57.9% |
Faraaz | Evens | 50% |
Jack | 11/10 | 47.6% |
Jade | 2/1 | 33.3% |
Rachel | 3/1 | 25% |
James | 3/1 | 25% |
Both have gone through the series without heat on them, and it's hard to see either being banished at this late stage.
Faraaz has mentioned Stephen as a possible Traitor, but he didn’t receive any votes on Thursday night.
Jade has received several banishment votes throughout the series, but she has somehow made it to the final.
However, because of all the heat on her, it seems unlikely her fellow players will want to end the game with Jade in it, just in case she is a Traitor.
Rachel's Near Miss?
Rachel arguably deserves to win this year's Traitors considering how well she has played the game.
She led the players in banishing Secret Traitor Fiona, and she also helped get rid of Harriet, who was correctly convinced Rachel is a Traitor.
But Rachel brushed off such speculation and continued to go undetected until Thursday night's episode.
One way she may have slipped up was when she told fellow Traitor Stephen she might be mentioning his name to the others, because he then brought Rachel up in conversations with Faithful the following day.
She and James are now 3/1 outsiders for Traitors victory, because one will not even be part of the final five.
James has also done well in his unique way, with some players claiming his style has been "confusing" at times.
However, whoever survives the latest banishment out of Rachel or James looks unlikely to win, because their fellow players will surely still banish someone with so much heat on them.
Whoever wins, it's been another thrilling series of The Traitors.
