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?

What happened in the Traitors Season 4 Episode 8?

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.

Did the Traitors seduce a Faithful in Season 4 Episode 8?

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.

Who got murdered in The Traitors Season 4 Episode 8?

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.

Rob and Candiace’s feud spread throughout the castle

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.

Who got banished in The Traitors Season 4 Episode 8?

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.

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.

TELL US – DO YOU THINK THAT LISA WAS “OVERTHINKING” HER GAME? IS ALAN THE PERFECT HOST FOR THE TRAITORS?

The post Alan Cumming Calls Out Lisa Rinna’s Traitors Theory: ‘Overthinking’ appeared first on Reality Tea.

Unlike other celebrity competition shows, on The Traitors, host Alan Cumming is always the brightest star in the room. Not only are all his outfits designed and custom made just for him, but he gets to take them home.

And now Alan is using his over-the-top costumes to spotlight vegan clothing. He’s doffing his fabulous capes in favor of a Marlon Brando-inspired vegan leather jacket.

Alan Cumming is the face of a new PETA campaign

As the star of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals’ (PETA‘s) new campaign “Rebel With a Cause,” Alan wears a cactus leather jacket on the campaign’s poster. The jacket is accessorized by vegan leather Doc Martens, while the look is completed with a vegan leather motorcycle cap. People magazine was there for an exclusive first look.

Leaning against a vintage Triumph motorcycle, Alan illustrates the campaign’s slogan, “Be a Rebel with a Cause. Wear Vegan Leather.” Timed to coincide with New York Fashion Week, PETA is hoping to influence runway selections. Although the event has already banned animal fur, PETA hopes to also see animal skins banned.

The posters are already plastered all over New York city. In an accompanying video, Alan says, “You can be sexy and powerful wearing vegan leather. I’ve done it. It’s so much cooler to be a rebel with a cause.”

“The dairy and meat industry is incredibly damaging to our planet and to the well-being of animals,” he continues. “There’s loads of plant-based materials that are available today in clothes of all sorts. So there’s absolutely no need to be wearing leather.”

As a well-known animal lover, Alan often has his beloved dog Lala at his side during filming. He also campaigned to move his captive chimp co-star in the 1977 film Buddy, to an animal sanctuary. The fight to remove Tonka from private ownership was documented in the 2024 HBO mini-series Chimp Crazy.

The Traitors airs on Thursdays on Peacock.

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.

TELL US – WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ALL THE WAYS THAT THE TRAITORS SEASON 4 MADE HISTORY?

The post How The Traitors Season 4 Has Already Made History appeared first on Reality Tea.

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.”

What happened in The Traitors Season 4 Episode 7?

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.

Who touched the cursed amulet on The Traitors Season 4 Episode 7?

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.

Who got banished in The Traitors Season 4 Episode 7?

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.

TELL US – WHAT WERE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE TRAITORS SEASON 4 EPISODE 7? WERE YOU SURPRISED THAT YAM YAM TOUCHED THE AMULET? ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE DRAMA BETWEEN CANDIACE AND ROB?

The post The Traitors Season 4 Episode 7 Recap: Did Anyone Touch the Cursed Amulet? appeared first on Reality Tea.

Season 4 of The Traitors is already epic. So, how to improve upon this roller-coaster of a season? Well, host Alan Cumming spilled some tea, and we are here for it. He gave some hints, exclusive to InStyle, about what to expect in an upcoming episode. Buckle up, my friends!

Previously, Alan teased what qualities a Traitor needs to be successful. “Balls of steel, first of all,” Alan stated. “But at the same time, don’t be too chaotic. So, measured boldness, I would say.” During a season that already featured a Secret Traitor twist and murders in plain sight, what else does Alan have up his sleeve?

The Traitors Season 4 is about to make history

In The Traitors Season 4, Episode 7, the moment fans have been waiting to see will happen. Traitor Lisa Rinna volunteered to commit a murder in front of all the players at Alan’s banquet. “I don’t know if I’m allowed to say this: There’s a thing that happens in Episode 7 that is the most incredible moment of Traitors history. It really is,” Alan told InStyle. “It is just so brilliant and just so wicked, and they spiral.” Best of luck getting someone to touch that cursed amulet, Rinna! Once Alan announces there is a murder at the banquet, all bets are off!

In addition, Alan talked about the vibe in the castle this season. He continued, “There’s something that happens – well, there are several amazing things that happen, actually – but there’s some toxicity in it this year that hasn’t happened quite as much as before … it’s so insane and brutal.”

Another interesting part of The Traitors is the social game. “There’s a bizarre collection of people and some hilarious alliances and friendships are made … as a sociological experience, it’s endlessly fascinating,” Alan stated.

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

The post Alan Cumming Promises ‘Most Incredible Moment of Traitors History’ in Tonight’s Episode appeared first on Reality Tea.

We’re halfway through The Traitors Season 4, and somehow three ruthless Traitors are still at large. They’ve been running circles around our innocent Faithfuls, whose instincts seem to fail them at every turn. And while we sympathize, we have to admit — it’s fun seeing the bad guys win.

Reality Tea got the chance to chat about this phenomenon with two former Traitors, “Boston Rob” Mariano and Bob the Drag Queen. We unpacked why rooting for the bad guys is so irresistible, and they revealed who they believe is playing the best game.

Here’s what you need to know…

Rob Mariano and Bob the Drag Queen reveal their favorite players

Rob and Bob are well-versed in all the drama and strategy taking place in Alan Cumming’s Scottish castle this season. Together, they host the official Traitors companion podcast, available on Spotify, Peacock, Apple Podcasts, and Peacock’s YouTube.

Reality Tea spoke to the duo ahead of the release of Episode 7, which will be available on Peacock on Thursday, January 29, at 9 p.m. ET. We asked the hosts who they are rooting for this season, and they revealed they are Team Traitor.

“I worship at the altar of Candiace [Dillard Bassett],” Bob said. “Candiace is the diva, she’s the icon, I love her.”

Rob echoed Bob’s sentiment, saying Candiace is playing a good game. He also shouted out Traitor Rob Rausch, complimenting his under-the-radar gameplay.

In addition to revealing their favorite players, the pair spoke about why viewers are more drawn to the Traitors than the Faithfuls.

“This show is so insidious because it makes you root for the bad guy,” Bob said. “You always want the Traitors to win. I don’t know what it is about this show.”

“There are people [who] are playing good Faithful games. The problem with playing a good Faithful game is that it’s very boring,” Rob added. “It’s not exciting to watch … The Traitor game is the more exciting role.”

The Traitors is available to stream on Peacock.

We’re back in the castle for another recap of The Traitors. Season 4 is in full swing, with one Traitor down and three more lingering in the castle, and when we last left off, a homophobic rant earned one faithful a well-deserved banishment. Everyone cheered.

In The Traitors Season 4 Episode 6, “Planning a Coup,” the Faithfuls tried to regroup from the messy roundtable, with several new suspects coming into light. But is anyone actually getting closer to catching another Traitor? Kind of!

What happened in The Traitors Season 4 Episode 6?

After finally ridding the castle of Rapaport’s stench, the Faithfuls realigned and tried to build a coalition to take control of the game. Meanwhile, Rinna started catching heat from multiple directions, and Porsha’s early banishment from the game became a major point of discussion. In the end, Alan introduced another new twist that could send another player straight to their grave.

Who got murdered in The Traitors Season 4 Episode 6?

No one died this week on The Traitors! Rob, Candiace, and Rinna lost their chance to kill thanks to the twist from Episode 5’s mission. Since no one grabbed a shield during the mission, all of the players got a free ticket to this week’s breakfast. Salmon and hard-boiled eggs all around!

In a flashback to the turret, we see a clip of the Traitors getting the news that there’d be no murder. Although they didn’t have anyone to kill, they still spent time strategizing.

Since Colton told Rob that he felt suspicious of Lisa, they all know he’s becoming too much of a threat in the game. For the next phase in the game, Candiace suggested leading Ron to be banished at the roduntable, and then immediately killing off Colton.

“I want to slit his throat,” Lisa told her fellow Traitors.

Colton’s aggressive gameplay is catching up to him

Let’s be honest — the first five episodes of Season 4 have been largely centered around Colton and his antics. He’s been riding on a high ever since he led the charge against Donna, and the rest of the Faithful are sick of it.

Johnny, Mark, Kristen, and a bunch of the other players who have barely spoken all season realized that they could band together as a group of solid Faithfuls to vote Colton out. They determined they just needed eight people they could trust to make it happen. Unfortunately for them, they were also including Candiace in that count.

Meanwhile, Colton was fully aware that he had lost the goodwill of the rest of the players. The Tiffany takedown didn’t sit well with anyone, but that wasn’t stopping him from going balls to the wall. He decided that this next target would be Rinna, after clocking her uncharacteristically diminutive behavior.

Just like his previous targets, Colton wasted no time going around telling everyone about his intentions. At one point in the episode, he (unsuccessfully) tried to hold Rinna hostage. He was like, “I’ll protect you at the roundtable. Will you protect me in the turret?”

Rinna didn’t break a sweat.

Who got banished in The Traitors Season 4 Episode 6?

After several episodes of getting put on the chopping block, Ron was finally banished from the game in the latest episode of The Traitors. Unlike some of the other votes this season, this wasn’t close.

At the roundtable, Johnny’s Anti-Colton Coalition stuck to their plan to try to take down The Bachelor star. They said it felt like has controlling the game, and they needed to take the reins from him. However, they couldn’t pull the eight votes. Colton got four votes.

The big surprise came when Colton stuck to his guns and threw Rinna’s name on the table. He called out the fact that she voted for Porsha during the first banishment, betraying the sacred sisterhood of Housewives. That argument swayed several votes, including one from fellow Traitor, Rob. Still, Lisa narrowly avoided banishment with five votes.

Ron got banished with six votes, and he fully knew it was coming. Everyone has been after him since his unnecessary takedown of Porsha, and the Real Housewives of Atlanta star was finally avenged. Before the votes, Ron went around the table and said nice things about everyone. It was a far departure from the attitude he showed last week at the roundtable, but this man had fully checked out by this point.

A deadly banquet awaits

The drama in Episode 6 didn’t end with Ron’s banishment. As soon as he walked out the door, Alan teased that all of the surviving players would now have to get ready for a banquet. Of course, this isn’t just an ordinary banquet with roasted chicken and cheap wine. There’s always a twist.

A flashback showed that the previous night in the turret, Alan tasked the Traitors with another murder in plain sight. At the banquet, one of the Traitors would need to wear a special red brooch that curses the first Faithful to touch it. Naturally, Rinna volunteered for the challenge. Next week, we’ll see if she can own it.

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

Welcome back for another deep dive into The Traitors Season 4! The castle was on fire this week, with accusations flying in every direction. When we last left off, a Housewife had been banished, two gamers were murdered, and the Secret Traitor’s identity had been exposed.

In Episodes 4 and 5, the three remaining Traitors pulled off two more shocking kills. Meanwhile, the roundtable delivered a heartbreaking banishment, followed up by a second crowd-pleasing sendoff that the game desperately needed. Keep on reading for all of the tea.

Who was murdered on The Traitors Season 4 Episode 4?

Caroline from The Real Housewives of Dubai was the latest celebrity murdered on The Traitors Season 4.

Episode 3 ended with a cliffhanger, with Caroline tied up to a tree along with Ron, Eric, and Kristen. The trio of Traitors decided to pick off Caroline in the season’s first face-to-face murder. When she realized she had been killed by two fellow Housewives, the look on her perfectly snatched face felt priceless.

“Rinna, you bitch,” Caroline said, right before meeting the axe.

“I thought the Housewives would have each other’s back,” she continued in her final confessional. “Only a housewife could look you straight in the eye and then stab you directly in the back.”

Who was banished on The Traitors Season 4 Episode 4?

In a shocking turn of events, Tiffany from Big Brother was the third player banished from The Traitors Season 4.

Things came crashing down on Tiffany very quickly in this episode. It all started with Colton, who felt fueled by his successful takedown of Donna. He’s giving Pete the Pilot energy, aggressively going after people, and rallying a team of Faithfuls behind him.

Colton led the charge against Tiffany throughout the entire episode, but it was Eric who put the final nail in her coffin at the roundtable. After surviving the face-to-face murder the night before, he claimed that he heard laughter from a Traitor that sounded exactly like Tiffany.

“I’m a musician,” Eric said, noting that his pitch-perfect ears had never led him astray.

With that evidence, Tiffany was overwhelmingly outvoted. It was a tearful goodbye for another gamer and a humiliating mess-up for Eric and Colton.

Who was murdered on The Traitors Season 4 Episode 5?

In The Traitors Season 4 Episode 5, Monét X Change from RuPaul’s Drag Race was murdered.

You’ve got to give her credit. This is the furthest anyone from Drag Race has ever made it on this show, but her good instincts in the game were ultimately what got her killed.

During the mission earlier in the day, Monét threw out Rinna’s name as a potential Traitor. When that information made its way back to the turret, they had no choice but to take her out of the game. The Traitors didn’t want to do it; they had to do it, but Monét took it on the chin.

“I’m going to haunt these hallways, mark my words,” she quipped in her last confessional.

Who was banished on The Traitors Season 4 Episode 5?

After a series of freakouts and a dash of homophobia, Rapaport was banished from The Traitors in Season 4 Episode 5.

Of course, his abrasive behavior put him on everyone’s radar early in the game, but he crossed a clear line at Episode 5’s roundtable when he made a remark about Colton that seemed to target his coming-out story.

“Nobody in this room would be better at holding a secret than you,” Michael said at the roundtable.

Obviously, this type of incendiary behavior is completely on brand for this man. We all knew it was only a matter of time before he said something problematic, so if they lose the Emmy this year, blame him.

Either way, the group fully shut down Michael’s rant, and their votes wound up being less about strategy and more about getting the toxic energy out. They didn’t care whether or not he was a Traitor; they just needed to rid the castle of his stench. Good riddance.

The Traitors drops new episodes on Thursdays at 9/8c on Peacock.

Rob Rausch has given up matters of the heart and is now focused on deception, treachery, and murder. The Love Island USA star was chosen to be a Traitor in the Season 4 premiere of the Peacock series alongside Bravo stars Lisa Rinna and Candiace Dillard Bassett. Initially, fans were unsure what to make of the selection. We wondered why Alan Cumming chose a Love Island USA star over Big Brother and Survivor alums. Rob may have experience playing with people’s emotions (justice for Leah Kateb), but he is not a “gamer” in the reality TV sphere. However, I’m happy to report that Rob has surpassed our expectations. He has proven to be a stealthy Traitor, successfully pulling off a murder in plain sight in Episode 2.

If you somehow missed the cultural phenomenon that was Season 6 of Love Island USA, you may be in need of a Rob Rausch crash course. But don’t worry, we have you covered. Here’s what you need to know about The Traitors star.

Who is The Traitor’s Rob Rausch?

Rob Rausch made his reality TV debut on Season 5 of Love Island USA. He entered the Villa during Casa Amor week as one of the eligible bachelors hoping to steal one of the ladies away from their man. The Alabama native was not chosen to enter the Villa, but he left a lasting impression on fans. He returned to the show the following season as an OG, entering the Villa on day one. Rob formed an immediate connection with fan favorite Leah Kateb, but in typical Love Island fashion, a bombshell distracted Rob and the romance crumbled. After the Leah split, Rob had a series of short flings on the show, but ultimately left the show single.

How old is Rob Rausch?

Rob is currently 27 years old. He was born on September 1, 1998, making him a Virgo. People with his astrological sign are said to be practical, analytical, and detail-oriented. Traits that are very helpful in a game like The Traitors.

What does Rob Rausch do for a job?

Rob is a professional snake wrangler in Florence, Alabama. He uses his social media to promote his business, frequently sharing videos of him handling snakes. He even has a few snake tattoos to show his dedication. In addition to his primary gig, Rob created the clothing brand Creek Rat with his sister, Lily. According to the shop’s website, the brand includes “thrifted items that they screen print by hand” and “a few staples that they have manufactured.”

What is Rob Rausch’s relationship status?

It appears that Rob is currently single. He has not gone public with anyone since the conclusion of Love Island USA Season 6. In October 2025, Rob and fellow Islander Andrea Carmona sparked romance rumors after they were photographed together in Miami. However, a source told TMZ the run-in was a coincidence and they are not dating.

The Traitors is available to stream on Peacock.
