After tonight’s episode of The Traitors Season 3, we’re down ten players. After the first six episodes, the cast of 23 has been winnowed down to 13. The remaining Traitors and Faithfuls have many more murders and banishments ahead of them as they hope to survive to the end and claim the $250,000. And even though we’ve got five episodes to go before a winner is crowned, we are taking upon ourselves the impossible task of predicting a champion. Because why not?

While we don’t know anything more about the outcome than you do, there’s nothing more fun than a little guesswork. To that end, I’ve compiled a power ranking of the remaining 13 players ranked from least likely to most likely to take home the money. Obviously, there are a lot of moving parts in this game, so trying to determine who will win might be a bit of a fool’s errand, but looking at the cast there are definitely some players who stand a much better chance than others.
After last week’s premiere, I ranked Bob Harper in 2nd place out of 15, with Wes Bergmann at 8th. With the elimination of two players who seemed like solid threats to win, the roads to victory just got easier for others.
You can read last week’s full ranking here.
To determine this week’s ranking, I looked at five major criteria for the players.
For the remaining Traitor, the questions are:
- Will they be able to survive the Round Tables without being banished and make it to the end game?
- If they make it to the Fire of Truth, will they be able to convince the remaining players that they are a Faithful?
For the Faithful, the questions are:
- Will the Traitors want to murder them?
- Will they be eliminated at an upcoming Round Table for seeming suspicious?
- Will they be able to suss out the Traitors at the Fire of Truth, or will they vote to end the game with a Traitor in their midst?
Also, remember that this ranking is based on their odds of winning, not just going far.

Who will win ‘The Traitors’ Season 3? A power ranking after Episode 6
13. Danielle Reyes (Traitor)
Last Week: 15th
Her gameplay just keeps getting worse and worse. It’s honestly so bad that I think it might have come back around to good? Like Carolyn went for her so hard this episode, and everyone was like, “meh” and continued the Rob vs. Wes fight. HOWEVER, I believe Danielle will continue to shoot herself in the foot and Carolyn will not let her win this game. Shocking that she’s lasted this long.
12. Tom Sandoval (Faithful)
Last Week: 14th
Tom Sandoval thinks that *checks notes* Dolores Catania is a Traitor. Really just comic relief at this point. No one thinks he’s a Traitor, but people will be THRILLED to vote him out sooner or later.
11. Sam Asghari (Faithful)
Last Week: 13th
With 13 players left, we’ve still got at least four murders to come, and I think Sam is going to get clipped at one of those. That said, due to Chrishell’s group in the mission including no Traitors, it seems like everyone in that group should be safe for another week due to the Traitors being unsure of who (including Sam) actually has the Shield.
10. Lord Ivar Mountbatten (Faithful)
Last Week: 11th
As Rob said repeatedly this week, Ivar has basically been minted as a Faithful from Bob the Drag Queen’s exit. That means that the Traitors will have to clip him before the finale. He could go as early as this week since he is one of the few obvious contenders without a Shield.
9. Boston Rob Mariano (Traitor)
Last Week: 12th
With Derrick suspecting Britney, and Carolyn and Danielle at each other’s throats, it does seem like Rob could last a while longer. He was nearly banished this week, but with Wes gone, the numbers moving against him are dwindling. His chances of winning do seem to be getting better.
8. Carolyn Wiger (Traitor)
Last Week: 10th
I’m really unsure what’s going on with Carolyn. On one hand, she’s calling out Danielle front and center. On the other, no one seems to take her seriously. While it seems likely that someone will catch onto her after Danielle and/or Rob are banished, she could still win.
7. Britney Haynes (Faithful)
Last Week: 1st
Last week Britney was sitting pretty in 1st. But with some heat from Derrick now, I do feel like she could present a tantalizing target for Boston Rob at a future Round Table if he’s trying to survive. I’m really not sure she has what it takes to win anymore.
6. Chrishell Stause (Faithful)
Last Week: 6th
While I had Chrishell ranked first a while ago, her move to a) trust Boston Rob and b) vote out Nikki, her closest ally, makes me very suspect of her chances of winning. If Nikki was a Traitor, Chrishell should have kept her around and cut her at the end to ensure safety in the murders. I doubt Boston Rob will murder her or that she’ll be banished, but I also think she could get plucked off right at the end.
5. Dolores Catania (Faithful)
Last Week: 5th
Dolores has big MJ from Season 2 energy. I can’t imagine her being murdered or banished, but I still think she could get snowed around the Fire of Truth. I did love her going after Tom Sandoval this episode, though.
4. Gabby Windey (Faithful)
Last Week: 9th
Gabby seems to be back under the radar this week after cutting Nikki last week. That said, she’s without a Shield or any protection going into this murder, and she just voted to banish Rob. I do think she’s one of the smartest Faithfuls without suspicion on her though.
3. Dylan Efron (Faithful)
Last Week: 4th
Dylan being friends with Boston Rob will keep him from being murdered in the near future. I also think he’s so obviously a Faithful that he’s unlikely to get banished. He’s sitting pretty for a few weeks at least.
2. Ciara Miller (Faithful)
Last Week: 3rd
While Ciara was nearly eliminated last week, I think she may have made it through the worst of it. Her emotions at the end of Episode 5’s Round Table made her look very much like a Faithful and with the Traitors imploding, it might be a few episodes before there’s not a more obvious target. Will anyone care about those coffins by then? I think not.
1. Derrick Levasseur (Faithful)
Last Week: 7th
Wes’ elimination this week REALLY helped Derrick. With Wes as a Faithful and suspicion on Rob, it seems likely that Rob will be banished sooner rather than later. That will clear up Bob the Drag Queen’s theory about one of the men in the cages being a Traitor and make it obvious that Derrick isn’t one. Also, he has a bit of safety this week because he was in the group with Chrishell, and so could have a Shield as far as the Traitors know. Derrick is boring, but he might end up winning this thing.
