A second week power ranking of everyone left on The Traitors series two

Welcome to your weekly power ranking of The Traitors series two – and now with seven of the cast banished and murdered literally everything has changed since the last one. It’s been a week of deception, carnage, game-playing both good and bad and big characters leaving the show. I can’t think of many reality shows where every week the proceedings and the power plays change as much as this one, so here’s a rundown of where everyone stands as we gear up for episode six. Buckle up for The Traitors series two – the second power ranking.

15. Andrew

Just really getting on my nerves, to be honest. I can’t stand when people act like it’s unethical to be a Traitor on a game show that you all agreed to go on. Last night he said “This is completely against your moral compass”. Moral compass? What are you actually talking about?

14. Evie

One half of the duo that until last night not a soul could tell apart. Charlie got some airtime and kind of left Evie in the dust. Just sort of there.

13. Mollie

We need our girl to do something as a matter of URGENCY. Quickly! All we know is her and Harry get on quite good!

12. Ross

Just loud and wrong. Literally the singular reason my beloved Jonny got banished for no reason at all. We cannot forgive this.

11. Charlie

“FOR BRISTOLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!”

10. Tracey

Kind of obsessed with how useless she is. She’s the Meryl of 2024. She must stay.

9 and a half. Tracey’s bulging eyes

Deserve their own mention. Beady eyed queen.

9. Paul

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Paul has kind of fucked it this week. He’s playing the game too hard. He’s going for the Wilf, but this year everyone already is hyperaware and on the lookout for Wilf-type players. He’s raising suspicions and not handling it good at all. Still, great TV – and whether he pulls it back and succeeds or fails dramatically it will be great TV. You need a villain!

But his position in the group is not strong right now. He should be concerned.

8. Charlotte

I’m absolutely obsessed with her. Just always got something to say and it’s always dramatic. When she burst into tears because she suspected Meg and then voted Ash anyway was just hilarious. Also a huge fan of when Brian had his meltdown and she went “Lets’s just address the elephant in the room – what the fuck was that?” Icon. The Hannah of this year. Always stressed and moaning.

7. Anthony

Hated him at first because wherever Diane’s fury goes I go with it, but these last few episodes he’s becoming increasingly wise and switched on. The chess coach has come out of the woodwork. A lot of people should be scared here.

6. Zack

A great player even when he’s wrong. Just feels super intelligent. Like him a lot. He needs a whiff of something correct so he can ascend to victory.

5. Jasmine

Really, really love her. Truly amazing vibes. She has Paul on strings and I’m obsessed with it.

4. Harry

Everyone had him written off as a bit of a cringe idiot in the first few episodes, but he’s proven the naysayers wrong. A good Traitor, and a really nice fella all round. He’s done a good job making everyone like him by putting a proper graft in in the missions and I think that’s going to pay off a lot in the long run as he goes undetected.

3. Diane

Slight slip from her top spot on this week’s The Traitors power ranking simply because this week it feels like Diane has had a crumb of air time. Put my mother on the TV, god damn it. I want to see her be loud and wrong! Her and Ross are getting al the guesses incorrect which is comedy but unlike Ross she’s a camp icon so… Third place it is!

2. Miles

I take back every single thing I said about Miles being a boring choice for a Traitor. He’s a PERFECT choice for a Traitor. He plays it so subtle and wise without even breaking a sweat. He barely has to gameplay, whilst Paul flounces about like a machiavellian criminal – Miles sits back calmly with the love of the group. Sweeping his way to the final. A lot of people should be scared.

1. Jaz

And now, proudly at the top of The Traitors power ranking, we have Jaz. Jaz is fearing for his LIFE, but one thing he’s going to do if he gets murdered is shout “remember if I’m murdered, it’s Paul”. He is ON to Paul. Paul should be shaking. Jaz just quietly has his info and he is going to try his damnedest to persuade people in a way that doesn’t get him much attention. It’s genius. If he dies I’ll be devastated.

The Traitors UK season two continues tonight on BBC One and then on iPlayer. For more like this round up of production secrets about making The Traitors and the best music, reality TV and entertainment news, like Pop Culture Shrine on Facebook.
