Everything to know about ‘The Traitors' finale: Winner odds, Britney vs. Danielle, new rules …
Mark your calendars for Thursday, March 6 at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT, as that's when the season finale will stream on Peacock. In "The Day of Reckoning Is Upon Us," host Alan Cumming will finally reveal which Traitor(s) or Faithful(s) ultimately win the prize money of up to $250K. Gold Derby has confirmed that the reunion show will be released at the same time on Peacock, with Andy Cohen back as the ringleader.

Last week's penultimate episode ended with a cliffhanger at the Round Table, so no one was banished. That means all six remaining contestants are still competing for the win at the start of the finale. That lineup consists of one original Traitor (Danielle Reyes), one recruited Traitor (Britney Haynes), and four Faithfuls (Dolores Catania, Dylan Efron, Gabby Windey, and Lord Ivar Mountbatten). Remember, if there are any Traitors remaining at the end of the game, they will take all of the prize money. If only Faithfuls are left, they will split the pot.
Gold Derby has been predicting the winner of The Traitors all season long, and our odds currently favor Britney as the likeliest player to walk away with the grand prize. Prior to Britney claiming the No. 1 position, our odds-makers thought Carolyn Wiger had the best shot ... but she was banished in the ninth episode. Here is a snapshot in time of our The Traitors finale winner odds, as of March 4:
Britney Haynes — 31/10
Dylan Efron — 4/1
Gabby Windey — 9/2
Dolores Catania — 6/1
Danielle Reyes — 7/1
Ivar Mountbatten — 8/1
These two reality stars came into the castle with an existing relationship, having competed together on Big Brother Reindeer Games in 2023. In that Christmas-themed spinoff of the long-running Big Brother reality TV show, Britney was responsible for eliminating her "ride or die" alliance member Danielle, crushing her hopes of finally winning a competition. Thus, they started out The Traitors as adversaries, but soon quashed their differences. As a Traitor, Danielle protected Britney throughout the game, until the time came for her to recruit Britney alongside her. The 10th episode ended with Britney having to decide whether to vote out Ivar (which would lead to a deadlocked tie and a "chance" elimination) or switch her vote to Danielle (which would send Danielle packing). Britney's decision will be revealed in the first few minutes of Season 3's finale.

Two-time Emmy winner Cumming announced in the season premiere that, unlike in past seasons, the eliminated players in the final five will not reveal to the group whether they are a Traitor or a Faithful. Instead, the remaining castle-dwellers will have to "rely on instinct" to make their judgments. This new rule was likely enacted because what happened in the Season 2 finale, when there was obviously still one Traitor in the game (Kate Chastain), because someone was murdered (Shereé Whitfield), so the finalists kept banishing people until they found her.
Another game-changing twist for Season 3 is the power of the Seer, which the final six contestants competed for in last week's episode. Whichever person earned the most coins in that mission will now have the opportunity to invite someone else to a private face-to-face meeting, where the chosen player must disclose if they're a Faithful or a Traitor. The identity of the Seer will be revealed in the finale.
Survivor legend Cirie Fields (a Traitor) won the maximum prize of $250,000 in Season 1 after tricking Quentin Jiles and Andie Vanacore (two Faithfuls) into believing she was one of them. In Season 2, The Challenge icons Chris "CT" Tamburello and Trishelle Cannatella (two Faithfuls) shared the prize pot of $208,100 after being the last ones standing.
Here are Peacock's official synopses for Thursday's epic finale and reunion show:
Episode 311 ("The Day of Reckoning Is Upon Us"): It's the Final Day. With a big announcement at breakfast and a hair raising mission to finish; will the Faithful claim the final prize pot or have they left a Traitor in their midst who will steal it all?
Episode 312 ("The Reunion"): Andy Cohen hosts the season reunion where the cast of The Traitors air their grievances regarding murders, banishments, and any treachery afoot during their time at the castle.

How to watch 'Sharkfest' online from anywhere — stream the TV event online from anywhere
No matter how many times you see a great white shark torpedo itself clean out of the water to turn some poor seal into a cup of takeaway soup, you can't help but marvel at the visceral power. Unfolding across 10 days, "Sharkfest" is a deep dive into the world of these mysterious, ferocious ocean predators, comprising multiple marquee productions, including "Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story". Here's how to watch "Sharkfest" 2025 online from anywhere with a VPN. ► U.S. date and time: "Sharkfest" begins on Saturday, July 5 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Full schedule at the bottom of this page.• U.S. — Nat Geo via Sling TV / Fubo | From July 6 on Disney Plus / Hulu• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN "Jaws @ 50" is a two-hour special featuring behind-the-scenes archive footage of the film's production, as well as interviews with Steven Spielberg and a raft of Hollywood heavyweights, including James Cameron, John Williams, Guillermo del Toro, George Lucas, Jordan Peele, Steven Soderbergh and Robert Zemeckis. According to Spielberg, the mechanical shark didn't work 80% of the time, and he was convinced that the film would end his career. "Sharks Up Close With Bertie Gregory" sees the filmmaker travel to South Africa to dive with great white shark without a cage, while six-part series "Investigation Shark Attack" invites a panel of scientists to debunk or corroborate popular theories about sharks and break down why they strike. "Super Shark Highway" is another six-parter, in which two research teams follow the sharks traveling along the southern shark highway and the tropical north, two of Australia's busiest migration routes, where they witness previously undocumented behaviors. And in "Shark Quest: Hunt For The Apex Predator", survivors of close encounters share their harrowing stories, and footage demonstrates how humans can minimize the risk of a shark attack. Here's everything you need to watch "Sharkfest" online from wherever you are. If you're not at home in the U.S. for "Sharkfest", you can still tune in via a virtual private network, or VPN.

Trisha Yearwood on July 4 concert, her faith: 'What you lean on in hard times'
NBC's 49th annual Macy's 4th of July Fireworks special includes 80,000 exploding shells and two returning American classics – the Brooklyn Bridge (for the first time since 2019) and Trisha Yearwood. Yearwood, 60, admits she doesn't perform on Independence Day anymore, "unless it's something really big, like this." So the singer returns to the stage for a pre-fireworks concert hosted by Ariana DeBose that also features the Jonas Brothers, Lenny Kravitz, Keke Palmer and Eric Church. The special airs at 8 ET/PT, and streams live on Peacock. The country music icon, who has been married to Garth Brooks for two decades, was inspired to perform songs from her upcoming album, "The Mirror" (out July 18). "The album is very personal to me, having co-written every song on it, which I've never done before," Yearwood tells USA TODAY from her Nashville home. "I'm still figuring out which two songs I'm going to sing from it. But we're going to make it fun." Here's what to know: The July 4 concert got Yearwood out of grilling hot dogs for 250,000 The July 4 concert pulled Yearwood out of working at Nashville's Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk, owned owned by Brooks, who's been largely out of the spotlight amid a civil suit alleging he raped a former employee and his countersuit calling the accusations a "shakedown." But in a cheeky June 19 Instagram video, Yearwood tells Brooks that they are cooking out for "a quarter of a million" people on July 4, adding in the comments that Friends In Low Places will give out free hot dogs on the holiday. "Macy's got me out of it. So I'll be missing out on cooking 250,000 hot dogs," says Yearwood, who admits the number is an exaggeration. "Nashville is expecting a quarter of a million visitors that day, and we hope they all come to the bar. We don't know when we'll run out of hot dogs." Yearwood spends most July 4 holidays at the couple's Nashville home, which has hillside views of downtown. "So we can watch the Nashville fireworks and other towns from here. When I'm home, that's what I like to do with friends," Yearwood says. This anthem is generally Yearwood's July 4 must-play When Yearwood was headlining July 4 concerts two decades ago, she leaned on one power song. "I always do the national anthem," she says. There's a power in that song that really says, 'We are America.'" The pro believes in singing "The Star Spangled Banner" a cappella. "My parents were always like, 'Sing the national anthem like it was written.' Even if they're both gone now, I still sing it that way, straightforward." However, Yearwood's favorite version of the anthem is Whitney Houston's famous 1991 Super Bowl power rendition. "That's the be-all (and) end-all," Yearwood says. "We can't all do it like that. So just do it your way." Yearwood also admires Martina McBride's "Independence Day" for the holiday. "It's really not a happy song about July 4, but it's generally an up vibe," Yearwood says. "I've played that at many July 4 shows." Her 1991 breakout hit "She's In Love With the Boy" is also concert-mandatory. "It pretty much works every holiday," Yearwood says. "If I'm doing a full show and I don't do that song, they'll probably carry me off the stage anyway." Yearwood sings of faith in 'Angels': 'It's what gets you through' Yearwood has been opening recent concerts with the "barn-burner" song "Bringing the Angels," inspired by a deep conversation about faith with her sister Beth Bernard, who received a writing credit. "However your faith looks to you, it's what gets you through, what you rely on, what you lean on in hard times," says Yearwood. "My life is not perfect, and my life has not been perfect. I feel a strength in knowing that I'm not alone in it. That's what (faith) is to me. I feel sorry for people who don't have something to draw on." As Beth was ready to head home after the spirited talk, she said to Yearwood, "Man, we are really bringing the angels today." "And it was like, 'That's the song,' It kind of wrote itself," says Yearwood, who adds that she's always had powerful faith. "I'm not a wear-it-on-my-sleeve person." Pro tip: Stay hydrated in life, July 4 concerts Yearwood credits being in the "best shape of my life" to basic vital care. "I drink a lot of water and get my sleep, all the things I didn't do in my 20s and 30s." The singer is already focused on July 4 hydration. "I'm taking my full band with me, and we'll have tons of water," Yearwood says. "My biggest career lesson is don't overthink it. I'll have my water, somebody will do my hair and makeup, and I'm going to be cute. It's going to be fine." How to watch the Macy's July 4 concert and fireworks The Macy's 4th of July Fireworks show airs on NBC at 8 ET/PT (streaming live on Peacock) with the fireworks beginning at 9:25 ET/PT. There will be an hour-long NBC encore presentation at 10 EST/PST. Telemundo's telecast will air at 9 ET/PT.
