We’re still mentally recovering from the Black Banquet on The Traitors, but the show must go on, and so do the murders. Last week, Lisa went down in flames after a murder in plain sight went awry. Yam Yam screaming Lisa’s name as he got dragged out by the executioners will go down in reality TV history.

In The Traitors Season 4 Episode 8, “A Queen Never Comes Off Her Throne,” the chaos continued as the two remaining Traitors were presented with a big question: Do they want to kill a Faithful, or is it time to bring in a third?

As the dust settled from the Black Banquet murder and Rinna’s subsequent banishment, Rob and Candiace struggled to get back on the same page. Could recruiting another Traitor help fix this broken relationship? Probably not. Either way, a high-profile murder rocked the castle, and in the end, another player got voted out of the game. You’re going to need a “cryangle” for this one.

The tension was thick in the turret this week, after Candiace cast a “throwaway vote” for Rob. Obviously, she did that out of pure spite over Rob’s betrayal of Rinna, but when the two confronted each other, Candiace didn’t seem ready to take ownership of that decision. If you’ve seen her on Real Housewives of Potomac, that behavior should come as no surprise.

Rob let it slide, but in his confessional, he made it clear that he wasn’t going to forget about what Candiace did. He’s fully aware that Colton had been throwing her name out into the ether. With Candiace refusing to apologize, Rob chose to keep that information to himself.

As the two faced off in the turret, Alan came in with some news. When a Traitor goes down, they get the opportunity to bring in another.

Candiace seemed eager to add someone else to the equation, but Rob quickly shut down the idea. He said they’d be better off if it were just the two of them. He knows that he’s already well-positioned to make it to the end.

With a recruitment off the table, he told Candiace she could take the lead on the night’s murder. That decision wound up changing the game for both of them.

In a shocking move, Colton from The Bachelor was murdered in The Traitors Season 4 Episode 8. It was fully Candiace’s decision, and it was a brilliant move on Rob’s part to let it happen. No one would suspect that he’d have a hand in killing his castle bestie.

With Colton out of the way, this will finally give some of those other players a chance to get a word in edgewise. We’re looking at you, Kristen. We’re talking about you, Mark. These Faithful have to clock in and can no longer rely on coasting behind Colton.

In a confessional, Candiace justified the murder by saying that she wanted to break up the alliance between Colton and Rob. She felt like Rob used Colton to target Lisa, and she feared she would be next if he stayed in the game. Unfortunately for Candiace, Rob has plenty of other allies in other corners of the castle. It’s a privilege Candiace doesn’t seem to have.

The Faithfuls were energized by Rinna’s banishment, but Candiace and Rob were in the castle spiraling. She knew she needed to start putting heat on someone else if she wanted to stay in the game. That was an uphill battle, as most of the players were very much fixated on her confusing throwaway vote to Rob.

Meanwhile, Rob was running around, fully masquerading as a Faithful. He spent this episode spinning theories about Candiace, proving that he didn’t need Colton to stay alive in the game. He even tried to volunteer himself for a shield in the mission! It wound up going to Kristen, but still, this man is working overtime in this game.

At one point, Candiace and Rob confronted each other right in the middle of the castle. They made it extremely clear to each other that their relationship had turned toxic, and it had reached a point of no return.

Candiace vowed to take him down with her if she were to get kicked out of the castle. Rob said that it would be “bad sportsmanship.” We think that’s just Candiace being Candiace.

Candiace was the latest player banished from The Traitors, and the vote was a landslide. Ultimately, her downfall was the vote she cast for Rob. No one could get past that, and she wound up locking in nine votes.

Of course, Candiace didn’t go down without a fight. She threw Rob under the bus, just like she promised. Candiace also managed to start a fight between Tara and Natalie, proving exactly why she’s such a great Real Housewife. However, the votes were still overwhelmingly against her.

In a teary-eyed exit interview, Candiace reflected on her time in the castle and said that lying constantly was the hardest part about the game. She genuinely started making connections with the Faithfuls, and it became increasingly hard to keep killing them off.

“I really started to love everybody, and that’s what stings the most,” Candiace said.

However, when it came to Rob, Candiace still seemed a little bitter. She said she felt confident that the Faithfuls would catch onto his snake-like ways.

“I’m confident that he’s going to look at Rob,” Candiace concluded. “And, in the event that they don’t, joke is on them.”

The last Traitor standing

With Donna, Rinna, and Candiace all out of the picture, Rob is the last Traitor standing — at least for now. After Candiace voted for Rob not one, but twice, he knows the heat is on him.

In the turret, where Rob said he was finally enjoying some peace and quiet, Alan arrived with some more news. He’s got to try to recruit a Faithful.

Rob was tasked with issuing an ultimatum to one Faithful: join the Traitors or die. The episode ended with him passing that note along to Eric. What will he choose?

The Traitors continues every Thursday at 9/8c on Peacock.

During Season 4 of The Traitors, icon Lisa Rinna had a pretty good run in the castle. She was living it up, murdering Faithfuls, and plotting in the turret. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum even took on one of the riskiest murders in Traitor’s history. When Lisa takes an assignment, she commits.

However, Lisa was banished during Episode 7. An emotional Lisa reflected on her Traitor’s experience in her confessional. “The end of Housewives was very difficult for me,” she explained as she cried. “It was just so nice to be me. I am just so grateful for the entire experience.”

Lisa Rinna almost left RHOBH during the Season 12 reunion

As you may recall, Lisa exited RHOBH after a contentious Season 12 and drama surrounding the Aspen trip. Rumors circulated that she was allegedly fired. However, Lisa decided to hand in her diamond.

During a visit to SiriusXM’s The Julia Cunningham Show, Lisa talked about why she left RHOBH. The host, Julia Cunningham, mentioned how Lisa was “booed at BravoCon.” Lisa responded, “I mean, I knew at BravoCon. I was like, ‘Oh, I think this ride’s over.’ The wheels on the bus just flew off, you know? I couldn’t contain myself.”

She continued, “I couldn’t control myself. I was acting out in so many ways. Everyone felt it, and you know, it’s the only thing I could do at that point, and I knew it was time to be done. I knew.”

However, Lisa almost exited at a different time. “I almost quit at the reunion. Yeah, I really, I was right there going to do it,” the actress stated. “Would have, should have, could have, but I was ready to say it. And then, of course, I go home, and I write an email that night, and I text everybody, and I say, ‘I’m done. That’s it. I’m done.'”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock.

Lisa Rinna was definitely iconic on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She recently reflected on her “painful” exit and why it had to happen.

Lisa appeared on Jeff Lewis Live on the heels of her run on The Traitors, and she looked back on her painful RHOBH exit, admitting that perhaps she shouldn’t have done that last season.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills legend Lisa Rinna talks leaving the show

“I’m in a much better place, obviously, than I was three years ago,” she began. “You know, my mother had passed away, and you know, truth be told, I should have taken a moment and not maybe done that year and just done the grieving and not done the show.” 

She explained that her worker bee mentality made her want to fulfill the contract and do the show. But she wasn’t in the right headspace to do it, and it really “f*cked her up.”

“It was difficult, you know, it was difficult to grieve in the public eye,” she said. “And I also don’t think that people are comfortable watching other people grieve. It’s too painful. And I think it triggered a lot of stuff in people. They didn’t know why they were upset with me, but I think it had something to do with that. So, it was a really, really difficult ending to that chapter.”

Lisa had previously shared that fan backlash was a main motivator for leaving the show. Coupled with the grief of her mother’s passing, it must have been very difficult indeed. 

“I was in a lot of pain,” Lisa admitted. ‘I’m totally different now. That show was great for me. I wouldn’t change it. It’s a difficult show to do when it’s that, when it’s painful like that. It became toxic. I think everyone can agree it was a toxic season. I’m just happy that I am where I am now.”

“Who are you still friends with, with your former castmates?” Jeff asked.

“Erika (Jayne), Kyle (Richards), Teddi (Mellencamp), and Dorit (Kemsley),” Lisa answered. “And that’s it.”

Yam Yam Arocho - The Traitors Season 4

One of the most mysterious aspects of The Traitors are murders, where the Traitors must choose a Faithful to sacrifice. While they sometimes target Faithfuls for certain reasons, the majority of murders are random. The Traitors try not to choose people they have visible issues with, to avoid suspicion. Murders are typically done in the privacy of the Turret, but occasionally the Traitors are forced to murder in plain sight.

The recent murder of Yam Yam Arocho on The Traitors Season 4 has caused controversy among fans. Yam Yam’s murder in plain sight has become a meme on social media, but other viewers have taken the event more seriously.

Yam Yam was the second player on The Traitors Season 4 to be murdered in plain sight. The first was Rob Cesternino, who was murdered after Rob Rausch and Lisa Rinna threw a card with his photo into the fire. Yam Yam’s murder was a little more difficult to pull off, as The Traitors had to trick someone into touching an amulet at a special banquet. Lisa wore the amulet and asked Yam Yam to help her fix it. The first player to touch the amulet would be murdered, and unfortunately, Yam Yam fell victim to the trick.

At the start of the banquet, the majority of the Faithfuls were already a bit on edge. The banquet was the perfect place for a murder in plain sight. When Alan Cumming announced that a murder in plain sight had officially taken place, the Faithfuls panicked. They began overthinking everything that had happened, down to who had served the food and cut the meat. Others were concerned over cards with their faces at the head of the table, particularly Kristen Kish, as her card had been pulled by Johnny Weir. While the Faithfuls had several suspicions as to how the murder had taken place, no one suspected the amulet.

When Alan announced that a murder in plain sight had occurred, he offered a brief solution. There were two antidotes available to drink, which would undo the murder if the murdered player drank them. Chaos quickly ensued, with players fighting to get one of the anecdotes. Kristen got one, after she worried that her card being pulled meant that she was the one murdered. Natalie Anderson drank the other, after she fought hard to get it, strongly believing that she had been murdered. Yam Yam didn’t end up with one of the antidotes, so he still ended up getting murdered. 

After Alan revealed that Yam Yam was murdered, he turned to the group and claimed that Lisa had murdered him. While he didn’t realize he was murdered by touching the amulet, he believed that Lisa kissing him resulted in the murder. As he was taken out of the banquet, he continued to scream that Lisa had kissed him and murdered him. This resulted in everyone turning their attention to Lisa, who had already been suspected of being a Traitor by a few players. After the episode aired, some viewers expressed that they felt it was unfair that Yam Yam was allowed to talk after being murdered, as no other murdered Faithfuls had the chance to do so. Others defended Yam Yam, arguing that it was reasonable under the circumstances.

Should Yam Yam have stayed silent on The Traitors?

At the Round Table following Yam Yam’s murder, Lisa was ultimately banished. Many players based their vote around Yam Yam’s accusation, as they found it to be solid evidence that Lisa was a Traitor. If Yam Yam hadn’t proclaimed Lisa to be a Traitor, it’s possible that Natalie would’ve been banished instead.

While Yam Yam yelling Lisa’s name was controversial, it was ultimately fair gameplay. Murders in plain sight differ from those done in the Turret, and there weren’t any rules that said Yam Yam couldn’t express his suspicions. As a Faithful, Yam Yam wanted to do what he could in his last moments of the game to help his fellow Faithfuls. 

The Traitors is available to stream on Peacock.

During Season 4 of The Traitors, Lisa Rinna was chosen to wear the cloak. Plus, Real Housewives of Potomac alum Candiace Dillard Bassett, along with Love Island star Rob Rausch, were also selected as Traitors. The trio worked well in the turret. That is, until Lisa became sus and Rob decided to climb off the sinking ship.

After Yam Yam Arocho accused Lisa of murdering him during the Black Banquet, she couldn’t escape suspicion. Her decision to wear the cursed brooch led to her banishment. However, Rob also helped oust Lisa.

Lisa Rinna calls Colton Underwood a “great nemesis”

In addition, Colton Underwood had suspicions about Lisa for weeks and tried to banish her at the previous round table. After the game, Lisa called out Colton in a social media post, referencing a stalking incident from Colton’s past. After negativity surged, Lisa asked for peace via her Instagram Story. “I’ve only always had a great time with him,” Lisa said in her post. “Don’t send death threats or do anything to jeopardize somebody’s family.”

Recently, Lisa was a guest on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live, and Traitors was the hot topic. “I just checked into Traitors this season. Who were your favorites in the house?” host Jeff Lewis asked. “All of them. I love them all,” Lisa responded.

When asked about where she stands with Colton today, Lisa had a positive update. “Well, here’s the thing. Colton was a great nemesis for me on that show,” Lisa explained. “I’d never had a gay man come after me. I had women come after me. And here this gay man is, like, just like stinger missile on me.” She added, “But I didn’t know anything before. Like, I didn’t know his past.”

When Jeff shared that Colton is “a friend of the show,” Lisa stated, “I had a great time with him.” It seems that Lisa is still deep in Traitor mode, spouting off theories about Colton and Rob’s gameplay via social media.

The Traitors is streaming on Peacock, with new episodes dropping on Thursdays at 9/8c.

If you are sleeping on Season 4 of The Traitors, I have no words. The casting was superb for this season. Plus, host Alan Cumming is giving us looks for days. Of course, with all this season’s twists and turns, the tricky Traitors have been working overtime. And that may have spelled Lisa Rinna’s demise in the game.

During the Black Banquet, Lisa had to murder a Faithful in plain sight. She volunteered for this risky assignment and had to convince someone to touch her cursed ruby brooch. Unfortunately, Yam Yam Arocho did. Before he was murdered, he claimed Lisa killed him.

Traitors host Alan Cumming isn’t convinced by Rinna’s theory about Colton Underwood

Of course, Lisa was already under suspicion before Yam Yam’s murder, so she had basically no chance at the round table. She gave an emotional goodbye in her final confessional. “It was just so nice to be me. I am just so grateful for the entire experience,” Lisa said.

Meanwhile, Alan weighed in on the chaos in SiriusXM’s The Julia Cunningham Show. Host Julia Cunningham played a clip for Alan of Lisa’s TikTok, where she shared her theory that Colton Underwood and Traitor Rob Rausch were somehow working together. “Again, overthinking,” Alan said of Lisa’s idea.

“You filmed this like a year ago, and she’s so, I just love that she’s still up in it, like giving fan theories,” Julia stated. “I know. It is fascinating. It’s so fascinating to me, and also, you know, I think Rob is playing a cracking game, like brilliant,” Alan stated. He pointed out that there comes a time when the Traitors need to try to eliminate their turret competition to win the prize pot.

“Just everyone loses sight, and that’s the brilliance of the game,” Alan explained. “You make people, rational mostly, people completely forget the rationale and become maddened, and it’s such fun to watch.” Indeed!

The Traitors is streaming on Peacock, with new episodes dropping on Thursdays at 9/8c.

Season 4 of The Traitors has been nothing short of iconic. The cast has been a great mix of reality TV personalities, blended with some athletes and poor Donna Kelce. In addition, host Alan Cumming has kept players and viewers on their toes.

Not only is Alan serving us looks to die for, but he has amped up the pressure in the castle. Not only for the Faithfuls, but also for the Traitors. Alan selected Real Housewives alums Lisa Rinna and Candiace Dillard Bassett to don the cloak. In addition, Love Island USA star Rob Rausch joined them. In a game-changing twist, Alan picked a Secret Traitor at the start of the game. No one knew their identity, including the other Traitors. It was a powerful position in this game.

Of course, this season of The Traitors has already made its mark, and the game isn’t even over! Let’s take a look at the way Season 4 has already made history.

The Traitors Season 4 saw a murdered contestant make an accusation for the first time

Alan has been putting the Traitors through it this season! They committed one murder in plain sight, as well as a face-to-face murder. Then, Alan tasked them with the craziest challenge of all: a murder in front of all the players. Of course, Lisa volunteered to wear the ruby brooch to the banquet. If a Faithful touched it, they would die.

“This is like the Super Bowl of murders,” Lisa noted as she prepared to enter the Black Banquet. This former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star loves the drama! And both the paranoia and fashion game at this dinner were next-level.

Lisa targeted Yam Yam Arocho by asking him to adjust her statement jewelry. Perfect plan. Zero notes. Then, Alan arrived with two executioners and announced yet another twist. Someone had been murdered, but there were two antidotes. Two players could drink the serum, and if they were the ones who were cursed, they would survive. After squabbling and nearly wrestling over the antidote, Survivor star Natalie Anderson and Kristen Kish drank it.

Unfortunately, for Yam Yam, his time was up. When Alan announced that he had been murdered, Yam Yam wasted no time pointing at Lisa. As he was dragged away, he yelled, “Lisa. It was Lisa that kissed me. Lisa!”

Of course, Lisa denied it, but having the murder victim accuse you was pretty damning evidence. And try as she might, she was unable to shift enough people to vote for Natalie. This was the first time in the history of Traitors that a murder victim made an accusation. Was Yam Yam partly wrong? Yes. But he was correct that it was Lisa, and it spelled her doom in the game.

Two Real Housewives alumni were immediately chosen as Traitors

We have seen Real Housewives players in the turret during other seasons. During Season 2, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks was literally killing it until her fellow Traitor, Dan Gheesling, turned on her.

During Season 3, the turret was filled with mostly gamers, including Survivor’s Carolyn Wiger and “Boston Rob” Mariano, along with Big Brother alum Danielle Reyes. Plus, RuPaul’s Drag Race star Bob the Drag Queen was part of this high-octane group. This turret was filled with tension, suspicion, and ultimately, traitor-on-traitor attacks. During a round table, Boston Rob ousted Bob, but on the way out, Bob dropped a hint that Rob was a Traitor. Can’t these Traitors just get along?

It was a different story for Season 3. There were five housewives in the castle, and Alan selected Real Housewives of Potomac alum Candiace and Lisa as Traitors. This marked the first time that two housewives shared the castle’s turret.  

For the first several episodes of the season, this traitorous trio worked together in murderous harmony. However, Rob eventually voted for Lisa at an earlier round table, so he didn’t look suspicious voting for his faithful allies. And now, Robby Bobby is in big trouble with Candiace after Lisa’s banishment. Hell hath no fury like an angry housewife. Buckle up!

The Secret Traitor twist made history, but might need a rework

Perhaps the biggest twist in the game was the introduction of the Secret Traitor. This player was selected as soon as the group arrived, but their identity was a secret to everyone but Alan. Their superpower was the ability to create a short list of players to be murdered. The regular Traitors had to select victims from this list. So, the Secret Traitor held a great deal of power.

From the jump, the contestants were suspicious of Travis Kelce’s mom, Donna. They felt that she was too quiet and observant. In the end, Bachelor alum Colton Underwood latched onto this theory and pushed it forward, resulting in Donna being banished during Episode 3. In a jaw-dropping moment, it was revealed that she was the red-robed Secret Traitor.

While this plot twist made history, it also might need a bit of work. Having the Secret Traitor ousted almost immediately felt like the concept was a throwaway. Perhaps introducing the Secret Traitor a couple of episodes in would heighten the tension and allow the Secret Traitor a chance to be more involved in the gameplay. It could also cause a bit of chaos in the turret, which is always a gift for Traitors’ viewers.

The Traitors is available to stream on Peacock.

Spoilers ahead!

Lisa Rinna joined five other Real Housewives on Season 4 of The Traitors. For the first time, two housewives were summoned to the turret. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum and Candiace Dillard Bassett joined Love Island star Rob Rausch and donned a cloak.

During the most recent episode, one of the Traitors had to commit a murder in plain sight at the Black Banquet. Of course, Lisa confidently volunteered to wear the cursed amulet and kill a Faithful. Some cast members, like Colton Underwood, were already suspicious of the former RHOBH star.

During the paranoia-inducing dinner, Lisa managed to convince Survivor star Yam Yam Arocho to adjust her brooch. When two other players drank the antidote, Yam Yam was doomed. As he was dragged away by executioners, he yelled, “Lisa Rinna kissed me on the cheek! It was Lisa!” So, Yam Yam was partially right.

After that, the players turned their focus to Lisa. After voting for fellow housewife Porsha Williams at the first round table, Lisa was already sus. Add in Colton’s accusations that she wasn’t acting like her usual self, and Lisa almost went home the previous week.

However, Yam Yam had the last laugh, as the round table banished Lisa during Season 4 Episode 7. Even her fellow Traitor, Rob, recognized that Lisa couldn’t be saved, and led the charge. Of course, Lisa was the second Traitor banished from the game, following the Secret Traitor, Donna Kelce.

At the end of the episode, Lisa broke down in her confessional. “The end of Housewives was very difficult for me. It was just so nice to be me,” Lisa said as she wiped away tears. “I am just so grateful for the entire experience. Thank you.”

The Traitors is streaming on Peacock, with new episodes dropping on Thursdays at 9/8c.

It’s time for another deep dive into Season 4 of The Traitors, and this one is quite a doozy. We’ve got twists, turns, and one very cursed amulet.

Last week, we saw Ron get banished from the competition. Rob turned against Rinna at the roundtable, and then Alan invited all of the players to a mysterious banquet. It was all a big ruse to let the Traitors murder in plain sight.

Always ready for a fashion statement, Rinna was tasked with wearing a cursed amulet to the dinner. The first Faithful to touch it would be killed right there in front of everyone, and it all came to a head in The Traitors Season 4 Episode 7, “The Black Banquet.”

The latest episode of The Traitors felt like an emotional rollercoaster. The remaining players sat down at Alan’s twisted banquet, which turned out to be the last supper for one player. Meanwhile, Rinna was working overtime trying to shake the suspicion that Colton put on her in Episode 6. Unfortunately for her, that was a steep, uphill battle.

Yam Yam from Survivor fell victim to the latest murder in plain sight. Rinna tricked him into touching the cursed amulet by pretending like she needed help adjusting it. He died trying to make sure that Rinna looked her best. Tragic.

As sad as it was to see Yam Yam go, you’ve got to give Rinna some credit. Getting him to touch that amulet was a much more complicated task than you’d probably think. Everyone at the banquet felt paranoid, knowing how easily a murder in plain sight could go down. Just ask Rob C.

Before Alan revealed the cursed player, he added another twist, pulling out two antidotes that could reverse the curse. He gave the players a few minutes to determine who would drink the antidote, and that’s when chaos ensued.

Natalie basically leapt out of her seat to make sure she got to drink the antidote. She looked like she was ready to wrestle for it. Kristen got the other antidote, thanks to a little help from her ally Johnny.

Of course, that all turned out to be in vain, because it was Yam Yam that got hit with the curse. As the executioners pulled him away, he left the players with a huge, albeit misguided, clue about who killed him.

“Lisa Rinna kissed me on the cheek!” Yam Yam hollered as they took him away. “It was Lisa!”

A rift among Traitors

The morning after the banquet, the Traitors met up at breakfast, and the tension was thick. Rinna (rightfully) felt super-duper pissed at Rob for voting against her. She and Candiace wanted to devise a plan to help get Rinna out of the hot seat. Rob wasn’t having it.

While Candiace seems focused on being faithful to her Traitors, Rob is playing the game with his brain. He knows it would make zero sense to put his neck out on the line for Rinna. It’s a sinking ship. Candiace wants to stay on board, Rob wants to abandon ship, and now, the Traitors are officially beefing.

Fortunately for Rob, the numbers are on his side. After Yam Yam accused Rinna of killing him with her kiss, she lost the tiny bit of credibility she had left in the game. Leaving her alone on that sinking ship is the smart thing to do.

Rob won a game-changing advantage

Another loop in this emotional rollercoaster of an episode came during the mission. We know some fans go to the kitchen to re-up on their popcorn during these missions, but this one was worth watching.

Alan dropped a game-changing twist, where in addition to winning cash for the prize pot, one player would walk away with a special dagger. The dagger grants an extra vote at an upcoming roundtable. With the numbers in the game dwindling, that could swing the pendulum in a major way.

Eric, Colton, Marc, Stephen, and Natalie all won the opportunity to play for the dagger. Alan had them stand around a table with cards; four of them had X’s. One of them had a dagger. Rob finished the mission in first place, so he got to ask the other five players a series of questions to figure out who had the lucky dagger.

This challenge felt like it was plucked right out of an episode of The Anonymous, and honestly? This might be the closest we’ll ever get to seeing that show again. We’re here for it.

Rob went around the circle, pressing the players over the dagger. He correctly guessed Natalie, like it was nothing. He won the dagger, and now, in addition to his secret powers as a Traitor, he can also cast an extra vote at an upcoming roundtable. At this point, he’s just making this game look easy.

Rinna’s glamorous reign of terror came to an end this week. She was the latest player banished from the game and the second Traitor eliminated from Season 4—a win for the Faithful, but a loss for Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans.

Sadly for Rinna, it didn’t even come close for her at the roundtable. Yam Yam helped seal her fate at the banquet when he loudly blamed Rinna for his death. However, it was Rob who really put the nail in her coffin at the roundtable. He spoke up against her and voted for a second time, one of the nine votes cast against her.

The other votes were all over the place. Two people voted for Natalie because of how she chugged the antitode, along with a Porsha-style slip-up, where she accidentally took credit for some of the season’s murders. Dorinda voted for Maura because it seems like they’re slowly starting to hate each other, and bizarrely, Candiace voted for Rob. We’ll see more of that Traitor-on-Traitor fallout next week.

In Rinna’s final moments on the show, she gave a teary-eyed speech to the confessional camera about just how grateful she was to be there.

“The end of Housewives was very difficult for me,” Rinna admitted. “It was just so nice to be able to be me.”

She continued, “I’m just so grateful for the entire experience. I really am. Thank you”

The Traitors is streaming on Peacock, with new episodes dropping on Thursdays at 9/8c.

Delilah Belle Hamlin continues to carve her own path in the fashion world, stepping out in one of the most talked-about looks of 2026. Attending the world premiere of Emerald Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights” at the TCL Chinese Theatre on January 28, the model and daughter of Lisa Rinna made a grand entrance that perfectly blended gothic romance with modern edge.

Lisa Rinna’s daughter Delilah Belle Hamlin in sheer dress with tassels deserves a double-take

Check out Delilah Belle Hamlin’s latest look here:

Hamlin arrived at the star-studded event wearing a sheer, floor-length gown that demanded a double-take. The intricate garment featured high-shine fabric and rows of dazzling tassels that created mesmerizing movement as she walked the carpet.

The nude aesthetic of the dress, accented by delicate beadwork and metallic fringe, mirrored the ethereal yet dark themes of the film. She kept her accessories minimal, opting for a choker necklace. Her signature slicked-back hair let the elaborate textures of the dress remain the focal point. For footwear, she donned all-black ultra-high platform pumps.
