WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD FOR THE TRAITORS US SEASON EPISODES 1-4!!

The Traitors US season 3 has only aired four episodes and already certain celebrity contestants are emerging as front-runners to win. Each Faithful is hard at work trying to deduce who is deceiving them by avoiding suspicious activity and observing everyone else’s behavior. Meanwhile, the sneaky Traitors are navigating the rules of the game and covering their tracks with skill. On both sides, the fireworks are flying as each week es and pressure continues to build.

Roundtables are becoming more heated, and murders are becoming more ruthless as each side is becoming emboldened to push forward in the challenges and push back against accusations. Many of The Traitors US season 3 cast are using different strategies to create their own ways of playing the game, but some are doing a more effective job than others. Let’s discuss which competitors are playing the best games, making them the most likely to be victorious.

Carolyn Wiger (Top Traitor)

Many of the Traitors have a fatal flaw that will likely be their downfall. Bob The Drag Queen was too bold and boisterous, which resulted in being targeted and eliminated from the game. "Boston" Rob Mariano is too cutthroat and controlling, while Danielle Reyes cannot seem to help but overact her responses in most situations. However, Carolyn Wiger is playing deftly and might be considered the underdog on the Traitor team.

Carolyn stands the best chance of winning if she can find her voice and stand up for herself. Much like her time on Survivor, Carolyn possesses the advantage of being considered kooky and harmless in most circumstances, even suspicious ones. She has an easy time pretending she's not a Traitor because most people pay her no mind and do not take her opinions seriously, which allows for her plausible deniability to be organic.

Her frenetic energy also grants her the ability to hide any panic she feels about Faithfuls closing in and her laid-back approach to her treachery does not attract any unwanted attention. If Carolyn can make her voice heard, but still stay true to her authentic self, she will make it to the end without becoming a target. So far, Carolyn is the top Traitor on The Traitors US season 3.

Wes Bergmann (Challenge Champ)

Wes Bergmann is no stranger to reality competition series; he made it to the finale of House of Villains season 2 and eight finals on MTV’s The Challenge, winning three of them. He is considered a master manipulator and a professional strategist, which has given him quite a reputation for being untrustworthy. Not to mention, his questionable entrance into the game recently cast a large shadow of doubt over whether he is a Traitor or Faithful.

Undoubtedly, Wes is aware his late addition to the game puts a small target on his back. To counter this, he employs a similar tactic to Boston Rob in that he weaves confusion and creates misdirection effortlessly. Having multiple conversations with contestants, he is planting seeds of doubt about various people while allowing them to make the brazen first strike.

This could be an excellent move because it convinces others to initiate the attacks, but it could also be his ultimate undoing because the intel can be traced up the chain back to him as the source. If Wes can continue stirring up chaos and successfully deflect it, he could make it to the end and take home or split the prize money. Wes has a good chance of winning the season so far.

Gabby Windey (Brainy Bachelorette)

Gabby Windey is surprisingly a dark horse in the competition and is positioning herself well to make it to the finale. She is very strategic; Gabby knows what to say and when, which is just as important as knowing when to stay quiet if she's unsure who to trust. She continues to demonstrate that her intuition is solid, which allows her to stay out of the Traitors’ crosshairs. There are even clips of confessionals where Danielle is underestimating Gabby’s potential.

Additionally, Gabby has solidified the "Bambi" alliance with other female guests of the manor to create during roundtable discussions. In a game of numbers, this tactic is very clever to minimize the target on her back while having a team behind her to vote for the same suspect. Another effective way to not get murdered by the Traitors is to vocalize trust in certain contestants, which causes everyone to look in other directions. If Gabby continues to appear non-threatening while being one of the smarter players, she might outwit the remaining Traitors on finale night.

Dylan Efron (Fearless Faithful)

Dylan Efron is a likable character and isn't high on anyone's suspect list. Until recently, he has been the quiet observer, putting together information and connecting dots on suspicious behaviors. He had a bit of a rough start by going directly head-to-head with Bob the Drag Queen, a move that viewers will likely chalk up to being a rookie mistake. However, this strategy was quite clever to cast attention onto his target’s actions.

Dylan thinks two steps ahead of most of the skilled gamers in the house despite not coming from a reality competition show. He has thrown his behind bigger threats in the house, even assisting Boston Rob in banishing Bob The Drag Queen in the latest episode. Unwittingly, this convinces the other Traitors they have him in their pockets as an extra vote for the next roundtable. With Dylan’s combination of brains and luck, he may outlast the other players until there are no Traitors left.

Each contestant is playing a different game, but there are multiple successful paths to finale night to win The Traitors US season 3. Some players use more active strategies to take charge, such as manipulation, misdirection, and control; others use ive approaches, such as observation, alliances, or standing behind a human shield. Regardless of method, all are currently in a great position to traverse the tightrope of The Traitors US season 3 to make it to the end and win.

The Traitors US streams new episodes on Thursdays at 9 p.m. EST on Peacock.
