Alan Cumming is preparing to once again close the doors to his Scottish castle. Season 3 of The Traitors is coming to an end with only six players remaining in the game. Each of the final players has played a game worthy of the prize pot but not everyone can walk away a winner…
In honor of the finale, let’s take a look at the season and decipher who played the best game.
When is The Traitors Season 3 finale?
The Traitors Season 3 finale streams from March 6, 2025 at 9/8c on Peacock. There are two Traitors and four Faithfuls left in the game. So, who deserves the money? We’ll get to that.
Keep reading for our Season 3 power rankings.
The Traitors Season 3 power rankings: #23-#20
23. Dorinda Medley
Dorinda Medley was the Traitors’ first victim. Her murderous housemates chose to end her game to weaken the Housewives alliance and paint a target on Lord Ivar Mountbatten’s back. The RHONY star and the Royal got into an argument earlier that evening, making Ivar the perfect scapegoat for Dorinda’s murder.
Fans were disappointed to see Dorinda’s game end so soon but we would be amiss to ignore her role in her early departure. Her first mistake was volunteering to get off the raft in the first challenge. She surrendered her chance for a shield, putting her in grave danger of elimination. Her second misstep was getting in a public argument with a fellow player. The Traitors witnessed the altercation and used the drama to their advantage.
22. Tony Vlachos
Fans were excited when Survivor legend Tony Vlachos joined the cast but his performance on the series was far from impressive. Tony is known for being one of the greatest Survivor players of all time, so you’d think he would try and fly under the radar in the castle. Nope. The CBS star could not control his ego. He talked over people, controlled challenges, and made himself a huge target.
21. Wells Adams
Wells Adams’ game came crumbling down thanks to Robyn Dixon. The Bravo star threw out his name at the first roundtable and he became the first player banished from the game. Wells didn’t have much time in the castle but he didn’t play his cards right in the little time he did have. The Bachelorette alum thought it was best to be quiet and not cause trouble in the castle. Unfortunately, he played it a bit too safe. He didn’t strategize or form alliances. His lack of gameplay made him dispensable to his fellow players. No one stepped in to defend him when Robyn targeted him.
The Traitors Season 3 power rankings: #20-#19
20. Chanel Ayan
Similar to Wells, Chanel Ayan wasn’t much of a strategist in the castle. She didn’t form many connections, which made her an easy kill for the Traitors. They murdered her to cause confusion in the castle and it worked. She may have been spared if she played a better social game.
19. Jeremy Collins
Jeremy Collins correctly identified Danielle Reyes as a Traitor but he failed to put his theory into action, which resulted in his murder. He didn’t rally votes against Danielle or present a compelling case for her at the roundtable. Instead, he shared his theory with several players, including a few of Danielle’s closest allies. The information got back to her and she put forth a plan to murder the Survivor star.
The Traitors Season 3 power rankings: #18-#16
18. Wes Bergmann
Wes Bergmann’s alpha attitude got him kicked out of the castle. The Challenge star was booted from the game in Episode 6 after Rob Mariano framed him as a Traitor at the roundtable. While Rob made a (somewhat) convincing argument, Wes’ aggressive gameplay style was the real kicker.
17. Rob Mariano
Rob did too much talking on The Traitors. The Boston native wanted to gain more control over the Traitors turret, so he framed his partner in crime, Bob the Drag Queen, at the roundtable. Rob is a master of manipulation, so his plan worked like a charm. He successfully banished Bob from the castle and earned more power in the game. However, his conviction in Bob’s Traitor status raised a few eyebrows. His fellow players questioned how he could be so sure of Bob’s status unless, of course, he himself was a Traitor. Rob’s grandiose speech put a target on his back and ultimately, led to his banishment. He should’ve let Dylan Efron do the talking.
16. Bob the Drag Queen
Bob the Drag Queen played a good social game. He found a ride-or-die in Danielle and formed side alliances with a few other women in the game. However, he failed to form a solid partnership with Rob, which led to his demise. Rob saw Bob as more as a threat than an ally, opting to turn against him rather than work with him.
The Traitors Season 3 power rankings: #15-#14
15. Robyn Dixon
Robyn was murdered because she was an obvious Faithful. The Traitors is a tricky game. You don’t want to be too outspoken, but you also don’t want to play it too safe. The Traitors are looking for scapegoats and a player that no one suspects is a Traitor is of no use to them.
14. Nikki Garcia
Suspicion arose around Nikki Garcia after she was included in the Traitors short list for murder. The group suspected that the Traitors would choose one of their own for the list to throw the Faithfuls off their trail. This theory tanked both Nikki and Ciara Miller’s game. They were loyal Faithfuls but the coffin challenge ruined their chance of making it to the end.
The Traitors Season 3 power rankings: #13-#9
13. Ciara Miller
Ciara’s game closely mirrored Nikki’s. She was a good Faithful who performed well in challenges and made alliances. But like Nikki, she was unable to shake the target off her back and was banished from the castle.
12. Chrishell Strause
Similar to Robyn, Chrishell Strause was “too faithful.” No one suspected she was a Traitor, so eventually, she became too much of a liability to the Traitors. They knew they couldn’t rally a vote against her at the roundtable.
11. Bob Harper
Bob Harper falls into the same category as Chrishell and Robyn. He was an obvious Faithful and therefore, not useful to the Traitors. He didn’t make it to the end but he played a good game. His affable personality protected him for as long as it could. People in the castle liked him and wanted to keep him around.
10. Tom Sandoval
I thought Tom Sandoval would be the first boot but surprisingly, he lasted pretty long in the castle. The Traitors saw the benefit of keeping a chaotic player like Tom in the house, while the Faithfuls suspected he was too dumb to be successful Traitor. Lol. Additionally, he became friends with Traitor Carolyn Wiger, who protected him for as long as she could.
9. Derrick Levasseur
Derrick Levasseur played a great strategic game but his game was foiled after he failed to convince his peers that Rob was a Traitor. He showed his cards a bit too soon and it cost him his game.
The Traitors Season 3 power rankings: #8-#7
8. Sam Asghari
Sam Asghari kept it lowkey in the first half of the game but emerged as a savvy strategist in the second half. Fans were impressed by his sudden burst of genius but the Traitors saw it as a threat. He should’ve continued to play dumb.
7. Carolyn Wiger
After Rob’s elimination, it looked as though Carolyn was the only Traitor with a shot to win the game. Danielle made a few messy moves that caught the eye of the Faithfuls and fans suspected she would be banished far before the finale. Carolyn, on the other hand, wasn’t on anyone’s radar. Danielle tried to throw her under the bus but no one took the bait. However, Carolyn’s reign came to an end in Episode 9 when she overplayed her hand during a challenge. Her behavior during the challenge raised a few alarm bells for the Faithfuls. At the roundtable, Danielle once again tried to bury her and this time, it stuck.
The Traitors Season 3 power rankings: #6-#4
6. Danielle Reyes
It feels insane to put Danielle this far up the list but hear me out. Sure, she’s played a messy and careless game but somehow, she’s still there. She’s the only OG Traitor left in the game. She’s been a target since Episode 4 but she’s managed to survive despite it all. She still has a shot at the prize pot and that has to count for something.
5. Lord Ivar Mountbatten
Ivar has played a pretty flawless social game and he has a shot at making it to the end. He’s on good terms with pretty much everyone and no one suspects he is a Traitor. He was almost murdered last episode though, so we can’t put him any higher on this list.
4. Dolores Catania
Dolores Catania played a great game and it’s likely she will make it to the end. The only issue is that she trusts a Traitor (Danielle) who will probably stab her in the back if she goes to the end with her.
The Traitors Season 3 power rankings: #3-#1
3. Gabby Windey
Gabby Windey played an excellent game and I think viewers would be happy to see her take home the money. She lost her closest allies but she managed to stay in the game. Her fate in the game is uncertain given her rocky relationships with Dylan and Danielle but I’m rooting for her.
2. Dylan Efron
Fans have been singing Dylan’s praises ever since he correctly identified Bob as a Traitor at the start of the season. The Social Media star has proven to be quite the strategist and will be a deserving winner if he makes it to the end,
1. Britney Haynes
Britney Haynes played a smart social game on The Traitors. She aligned herself with power players but didn’t talk too much at the roundtables, allowing others to take the heat for big moves. Now that she’s a Traitor, she has a lot of power in the game. She could very likely walk away the sole winner of Season 3.
The Traitors is available to stream on Peacock.
