Fans of The Celebrity Traitors are predicting that the three remaining Traitors will secure victory in Friday's finale, arguing that the Faithfuls have placed their trust in the wrong contestants.
The show airs its penultimate episode tonight (October 29), with the remaining players facing another round of accusations and possible eliminations before the final showdown.
Traitors tipped for victory
The last episode ended on a cliffhanger after actress Sharon Rooney and comedian Joanne McNally received an equal number of votes at the roundtable, leaving content creator King Kenny with the deciding vote.
Viewers will discover which of the two Faithfuls is banished tonight, but speculation is mounting over whether the Traitors can maintain their grip on the game. Maya Jama, James Acaster and Kenny have so far evaded detection despite the Faithfuls being tasked with identifying the secret saboteurs.
Taking to X, viewers have shared their predictions, with many arguing that the Faithfuls have repeatedly overlooked the most obvious suspects.
One viewer wrote: "The traitors are 100% going to win again this year! And they damn well deserve it cos the faithfuls aren't even questioning them anymore."
Another posted: "Okay the faithful do not deserve to win this year. Voting for the three traitors as the ones they trust the most! They'll never suspect them then!"
Kenny holds deciding vote
During last week's challenge, the trio were named among the contestants most trusted by their fellow players, handing them a significant advantage as the competition entered its closing stages.
The Traitors were then tasked with choosing who should receive a dagger, which grants its holder a double vote at the roundtable. They selected Kenny, giving him the power to influence a crucial banishment decision.
That advantage could prove decisive as the remaining players attempt to work out who has been lying to them all along. If suspicions finally turn towards the right contestants, the final two episodes could still deliver a dramatic reversal of fortunes.
Another viewer appeared more concerned with the fate of one particular contestant, writing: "Screaming at my phone every time Bash gets brought up at the round table or in the tower twice a week while watching Celebrity Traitors because I love him so much and want him to win."
Ross Kemp backs the Faithful
Former contestant Ross Kemp has revealed which side he is backing ahead of the final. The EastEnders actor, who was murdered by the Traitors during his time on the show, became a fan favourite for his loyalty to the Faithful.
Speaking to GB News reporter Isobel Feculak, Kemp was asked whether he was supporting the Traitors or the Faithful to win the competition.
"We've got the final coming up. Who are you backing? Traitors or Faithful?" she asked. Kemp replied emphatically: "Always the Faithful! Always the Faithful."
Finale details
Thursday's episode will pick up from the dramatic roundtable cliffhanger, with either Rooney or McNally facing banishment after Kenny's deciding vote. Other contestants who have come under suspicion include Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock and actor Sebastian Croft.
Comedian Miranda Hart was the latest contestant to be murdered, with the Traitors describing her as "a good detective".
Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, the second series of The Celebrity Traitors sees 21 famous faces compete at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands for a prize pot of up to £100,000 for their chosen charities.
The penultimate episode airs on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Thursday, October 29, at 8pm. The grand finale follows on Friday, October 30, at 8pm, running for 80 minutes and ending at 9.20pm, before a special episode of The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked.
