Amongst them are the faithfuls - Hannah, Aaron and Meryl - and the two remaining traitors - original traitor Wilfred and new recruit Kieran.

Fans on Twitter have claimed that Wilfred will be declared the champion thanks to his astonishing gameplay, featuring twists, turns and backstabbing, in tonight's final.

One fan declared: "For me, it's gotta be Wilf - he has played THE game of the century ! give that man an Oscar ! #TheTraitors."

Another echoed similar thoughts, adding: "Wilf has to win tonight! And by himself because he deserves it so much! The pressure he has been under is insane! #TheTraitors."

As a third said of 'winner' Will: "The mental strength and tenacity of Wilf makes him a winner. Obviously he's not really evil, in fact he seems very nice."

Whilst a fourth fan gave their theory, revealing they think the two remaining traitors will turn on each other in a bombshell twist.

They said: "Wilf & Kieran will turn on each other tonight the the winner will be whichever 1 survives the other. 100% a traitor is taking the money ."

It comes amid fan fury over claims that the show has been fixed for a Traitor to win.

Wednesday night's show saw Wilf, who was the last remaining Traitor at the time, told by host Claudia Winkleman that he had to chose another member of the game to recruit to his dark side.

He opted for Kieran, giving him the ultimatum to either join him as a traitor or be killed.

Kieran chose to join him, leaving Meryl, Hannah and Aaron as the remaining faithfuls once Maddy was banished.

But the game-changing move by producers means some fans are claiming the Traitors now have an advantage.

"It’s kinda rigged tbh. Adding a new Traitor so late in the game made it nearly impossible for the faithfuls to win," one tweeted.

A second added their analysis, chipping in: "Do think if the game is going to be rigged in their favour to the degree that it has to be to make a guaranteed 12 ep tv show, then the producers should pick The Traitors initially at random, to avoid the sort of casting logic metagame that's driving this endgame."

The Traitors final airs tonight at 9pm on BBC One.
