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.

While he was in the Senate, former President Joe Biden was known for finding common ground with members of the opposing party. He would often negotiate with political adversaries to generate support for important issues.

But things have changed since then. In a recent interview, Congresswoman Sarah McBride described what it’s like working in D.C. today. Sometimes she feels like she’s filming a TV reality show, rather than dealing with people who work for the people.

Sarah McBride could see Republicans on The Traitors

“Sometimes it feels … like Real Housewives,” she told TMZ. “Sometimes it feels more like [The] Traitors. [But] let’s be honest, there’s a lot of overlap between the two.”

As a fan of Peacock’s The Traitors, Representative McBride (D-Delaware) is always on the lookout for traitors in her workplace. After admitting she’s a huge fan of The Traitors, she said, “I am obsessed. I have watched US Traitors, UK Traitors, Australia Traitors, New Zealand Traitors. All of them.” (Me, too!)

She’s even put some thought into whether she’d be a traitor or a faithful should she ever play the game. “I would have to be a faithful,” she confessed. “I’ve … thought about this a lot, [and] I would have to be a faithful. I would have too much anxiety as a traitor.”

When asked to think about her co-workers and who would make a good traitor, she replied, “Honestly, pretty much any member of the Republican caucus would, because they are very good about being one person behind the scenes and another person out in public. So, they’d be good being in the turret with their fellow traitors … [Senator] Lindsey Graham [would] be great.”

The Traitors Season 4 streams on Thursdays 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.

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 Arocho was murdered in plain sight on The Traitors Season 4

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. 

Yam Yam’s exit and Lisa Rinna call out caused controversy

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 Season 4 is in full swing, with two Traitors already having been banished. Season 4 is about halfway finished, and several players have emerged as threats. At the moment, both Traitors and Faithfuls have a good chance of winning the game. While it’s still anyone’s game to win, some players have a better shot than others.

Rob Rausch

Rob Rausch has received tremendous praise for his performance as a Traitor on Season 4. Throughout the season, almost no one has suspected Rob of being a Traitor. He’s played a lowkey game and has perfectly disguised himself among the Faithfuls. Rob has built an alliance with a group of Faithfuls after receiving the Dagger advantage in a recent mission. 

The only person with whom Rob is on bad terms is his fellow Traitor, Candiace Dillard Bassett. Candiace fiercely defended their fellow Traitor Lisa Rinna after the majority of the Faithfuls became suspicious of her. Rob, on the other hand, voted for Lisa to be banished after he realized that the majority of votes would be for her. This was a smart move on Rob’s part, as it didn’t make it look like he was defending a Traitor. Candiace, however, has played a messy game and could easily become the next Traitor caught. If Rob continues to fly under the radar, he could very well make it to the end as the last Traitor standing. As long as he remains on good terms with the other Faithfuls, he could easily win the game.

Kristen Kish

Kristen Kish started the season off as a quiet player; however, she has quickly proven herself to be one of the most strategic Faithfuls. While she wasn’t right about her theory of Colton Underwood being a Traitor, she was smart enough to not speak up too much at the Round Table without being sure. Since the Traitors know that Kristen is suspecting of others, they will likely choose not to murder her. No one has suspected Kristen of being a Traitor, so she also likely won’t be banished. 

If a group of Faithfuls gets to the end and wins, it’s very likely that Kristen could be among them. She’s made a good circle of friends among the Faithfuls, and nearly everyone trusts her. While Rob has a great chance of winning as a sole Traitor, Kristen could win if he ends up getting banished at some point. 

Johnny Weir

Johnny Weir is another Faithful who has a decent shot of winning the game. Like Kristen, Johnny is well established among the Faithfuls. He is friends with almost everyone, and no one has suspected him of being a Traitor. Johnny’s not in any danger of being banished, so as long as he doesn’t get murdered, he could make it to the end.

So far, Johnny is the only Faithful who has briefly suspected Rob of being a Traitor. He confessed to Candiace that he is suspicious of both Colton and Rob. Since Candiace is now determined to get rid of Rob, she will likely fight to keep Johnny in the game. While they likely won’t get enough people to banish Rob anytime soon, Johnny’s suspicions could be enough to help him get to the end. 

Natalie Anderson 

Natalie Anderson has played an interesting game as a Faithful on Season 4. She stayed under the radar until recently, when she fought to get an anecdote at the banquet to save her from possible murder. This resulted in Natalie receiving several votes at the Round Table, but Lisa was ultimately banished over her. 

The suspicion around Natalie will likely cause Candiace and Rob to keep her around as opposed to murdering her. However, with the game nearing an end, it’s likely that attention at the Round Table will shift to other players instead. The majority of the players understand that Natalie only fought for the anecdote out of paranoia, which makes it more likely that she is a Faithful than a Traitor. If Natalie makes it to the end, she has a good chance of winning with a group of Faithfuls.

The Traitors is available to stream on Peacock.

On the hit Peacock series The Traitors, a Traitor’s work is never done. Just ask Real Housewives of Potomac alum Candiace Dillard Bassett. She has been busy murdering Faithfuls and starting congo lines in the castle. Meanwhile, she is also processing the news of RHOP star Wendy Osefo’s arrest.

In October 2025, Wendy and her husband, Eddie Osefo, were arrested. They were booked on 16 counts, including fraud. The couple allegedly faked a home burglary and filed an insurance claim for a whopping $450,000 in stolen personal property. However, according to the police, these luxury items were never stolen at all.

RHOP alum Candiace Dillard Bassett gave her “immediate reaction”

In addition, it looks like Wendy will be in the hot seat during the Season 10 RHOP reunion. Host Andy Cohen didn’t hold back in the reunion trailer, asking about Dr. Wendy’s arrest. Then, Karen Huger confronted Wendy about jail.

Well, Candiace weighed in on Wendy’s plight during a visit to Watch What Happens Live. Of course, Andy had a shady game lined up. “Candiace, what was your immediate reaction when you heard the news of Wendy’s arrest?” Andy asked.

“My head spun around. I was doing a news segment when I heard. So, I was getting ready to talk about a stage play, and they were like, ‘We have breaking news. Can you talk about it?’” Candiace explained. “I’m thinking, ‘Oh, it’s going to be, you know, somebody’s shoe.” Of course, it must have been shocking to find out her friend was just busted.

Candiace exclaimed, “My friend is going to jail! Call the police! Like, what do you mean?” She added, “I was floored! Blown away.” I don’t think anyone had Wendy’s arrest on their bingo card.

“You’ve been in contact with her?” Andy asked. And Candiace replied, “I have. Yes.”

The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 10 reunion begins on Sunday, February 15 at 8/7c.

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.
