Who Will Win 'The Traitors' Season 2?

We're now five weeks into The Traitors Season 2 and we've eliminated nine players who arrived at the Scottish castle in hopes of taking home the $250,000. Some have been murdered by the Traitors, some have been banished by their fellow Faithfuls and one opted to quit on his own accord. No matter the cause, however, the chairs around the Round Table are disappearing one by one, and before you know it, the last few contestants will be outside around the fire determining who will split the cash.

While we don't know anything more about the outcome than you do, there's nothing more fun that 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. To determine the ranking, I looked at five major criteria for the players.

For the Traitors, 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 simply making it far. This power ranking will be updated throughout the season as we get new episodes and players are eliminated.

Who will win The Traitors Season 2? The cast ranked:

13. Dan Gheesling

Dan may be the greatest player ever to compete on Big Brother, but I think he's royally screwed himself on The Traitors. He may have dodged elimination this week due to Janelle's sloppy gameplay, but there's not a chance in hell he wins. In addition to almost being eliminated this week, he is the chief target of the "at least one male must be a Traitor" theory, and I don't see that going away anytime soon. Plus, even if he does make it to the finale by some act of God, I think the other contestants are smart enough not to vote to end the game with him present.

12. Parvati Shallow

Parvati may not be quite in the hot seat yet, but as Phaedra so eloquently reminded us, no one likes Parvati and everyone thinks she's a Traitor. Peter pegged her as someone he's suspicious of this week as well. I think she could be an easy Round Table target in upcoming weeks, but mostly, I just don't see the other remaining players voting to end the game with her still around the Fire of Truth should she make it that far.

11. Chris "CT" Tamburello

While a Dan elimination could possibly save CT from the "at least one male must be a Traitor" theory, there's already a lot of suspicion around CT as well. Larsa was targeting him before she left and Peter pegged him as a likely Traitor this week. He just seems generally shifty and one of the most likely Round Table votes in weeks to come.

10. Sheree Whitfield

On one hand, I can't see Phaedra allowing Sheree to be murdered AND I also can't see anyone wasting a vote on her. That said, she seems to be playing on another planet, and I could 100% see her voting to end the game with Phaedra and yielding the whole pot to her RHOA costar. She has a lot of Andie/Quentin energy and that's not a good thing.

9. Kevin Kreider

No one seems to like Kevin. He's burping. He's chewing with his mouth open. He's annoying the women. I don't think anyone would be heartbroken if he was eliminated and that could easily lead to a banishment or a murder for the Bling Empire star.

8. Sandra Diaz-Twine

While Sandra is a savvy player on Survivor, she's so far proven herself to be fairly bad at The Traitors, working with Dan and Parvati and actively shooting the Faithfuls in the foot. I could see the other Faithfuls targeting her at a Round Table, but the Traitors have also considered murdering her before and could do it again.

7. John Bercow

It seems obvious to everyone that John is not a Traitor, and while that will help him in the Round Tables, I think that could make him an easy kill for the Traitors as well. After all, why keep someone around if they aren't a shield for you. He could be gone as early as next week.

6. Phaedra Parks

Of the current Traitors, I think the only one who stands a chance at winning is Phaedra. She seems to be flying under the radar, especially after Larsa and Tamra were eliminated. That being said, Parvati and Dan both have it out for her, and I could see them dragging her down on their way out of the game.

5. Trishelle Cannatella

While Trishelle has been embroiled in a good bit of drama this season between the Peppermint vote and the Housewives incident, no one seems to suspect her of being a Traitor. I also think she's more savvy than others lower on this list. If she doesn't get murdered, I think she stands a good chance of leaving the game with the money.

4. Kate Chastain

Kate proved in Season 1 that she was extremely capable of surviving in the castle even with all eyes on her, and coming in late while drama is already spiraling seems to be to her advantage. I also trust that Kate will be one of the best at seeing through Phaedra should it come to that in the end game.

3. Mercedes "MJ" Javid

MJ has been feisty this season and everyone seems to see her as someone standing up to the Traitors. I think especially after she targeted Dan early, he might be hesitant to murder her, and she seems like someone who could deftly navigate the end game. I like her chances.

2. Carsten "Bergie" Bergersen

While Dan is aiming for Bergie this week, his Shield guarantees him a spot in the top 12. I can't see any world in which Bergie is banished, which means he'd have to be murdered to be sent home. I think the Traitors will have bigger fish to fry and Bergie could sneak to the end. As we've seen this week and in the graveyard challenge, Bergie is smarter than people give him credit for. I think he's just the type who could win.

1. Peter Weber

And sitting pretty at the top of the leaderboard is Pilot Pete. Not only has Pete already sniffed out two of the three Traitors, but he seems to also have a) concocted a plan that will expose Dan and Parvati and b) formed a coalition of the Faithfuls. Especially if Peter can eliminate Dan, I don't think his Faithful crew will turn on him, and I think it could be dangerous for Dan/Parvati to murder him after he's been vocally coming after them. Not to mention that of the remaining cast he seems likely to earn a few more Shields in the challenges coming up. He's also smart enough to navigate the end game. I'm waiting for a Peter/Phaedra showdown that seems inevitable.
