The Traitors Series Three Power Ranking: Week One

The 22 contestants of The Traitors stand outside the castle awaiting Claudia Winkleman's instructions

Yes, The Traitors, that high camp masterpiece of reality TV, is back to release us from our January blues with more hilariously hubristic schemes, disturbingly primitive groupthink and luxury knitwear.

There have been several twists to the game this year: there are slightly more contestants (25, up from 22), and those who make it to the final will no longer have to reveal their allegiances when banished. Most welcome of all are the added incentives for Traitors to sabotage the missions, which many considered to be skippable interludes.
