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.

The drama between Candiace Dillard Bassett and Monique Samuels on The Real Housewives of Potomac is one of Bravo’s biggest unsolved feuds. After their physical altercation in Season 5, Monique left the show. Candiace went on to star in three more seasons, and their relationship remained unsettled.

After swearing off reality TV, Monique surprised fans by joining the Season 10 cast in a part-time role. She’s been embraced with open arms by the cast, who previously turned their backs on her. So, how does Candiace feel about that? Supposedly, it hasn’t even been on her radar.

Candiace Dillard Bassett hasn’t been watching Real Housewives of Potomac

Candiace, who is currently slaying the castle on Season 4 of The Traitors, appeared on the February 2 episode of Watch What Happens Live. During the taping, a fan asked Candiace for her opinion on Monique’s return.

The fan asked, “How do you feel about the rest of the cast, Wendy [Osefo], accepting her back so welcomingly?

“I wasn’t aware,” Candiace replied. “I know she’s back, but I don’t know. I’m not watching.”

If Candiace had been tuning in to Season 10, she would have seen that her pal Wendy was among the first people to welcome Monique back into the group, literally with open arms. Later in the season, Monique sat down with Gizelle Bryant, where they hashed out all their five-year-old drama. Everyone has moved on from Season 5. Now, it’s Candiace’s turn.

Of course, when Monique was on WWHL in December 2025, she got a question about Candiace and whether or not things could have ever been cordial between them. She made it clear that a reconciliation wasn’t a priority, so we might have to wait until Season 20 to see this beef get squashed.

“There was no relationship, and sometimes, moving on doesn’t mean that you have to reconcile,” Monique said at the time. “Sometimes, you just see people for who they are, and you see your place, and you set your boundaries, and it’s okay to not rekindle something that isn’t meant to be rekindled.”

The Real Housewives of Potomac airs on Sundays at 8/7c. You can stream it the next day 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.

The post The Traitors’ Candiace Dillard Bassett on RHOP Star Wendy Osefo’s Arrest appeared first on Reality Tea.

Former Real Housewives of Potomac star Candiace Dillard Bassett was on Watch What Happens Live last night, and of course, the shade was thick.

Throughout the episode, Andy Cohen asked her about all things Season 4 of The Traitors and a little bit of RHOP. At one point, Candiace could hardly fix her lips to say Gizelle Bryant’s name. Instead, she just referred to her as a “thing.”

Candiace Dillard Bassett has no love for RHOP’s Gizelle Bryant

Andy challenged Candiace to a game of Air Kiss and Tell, inspired by Lisa Rinna’s controversial kiss on The Traitors. Candiace answered every question without hesitation.

First, he asked Candiace for her reaction to Wendy Osefo’s arrest. Obviously, Candiace was shocked, but she said she’s been in touch with Wendy since the arrest.

Andy also asked Candiace to name the next RHOP star that should be on The Traitors. She named Charrisse Jackson-Jordan.

Then, Andy asked Candiace who she trusted more, Gizelle or Rob Rausch, her fellow Traitor. That’s when things got juicy. Although Rob has been turning on his fellow Traitors and helped get Lisa kicked out of the game, Candiace claimed that she’d trust him over Gizelle.

Candiace said. “I would trust Rob with every organ in my body over that thing.”

Yikes! Go ahead and add this to the list of insults Candiace has thrown at Gizelle over the years, right up there with “neck” and “ankles.”

Interestingly, Candiace recently reunited with that “thing” while filming in Atlanta for The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th. They posed together in a picture along with other former RHOP stars, Ashley Darby and Robyn Dixon. Based on Candaice’s attitude on WWHL, we’re assuming that their little reunion didn’t go well.

The Real Housewives of Potomac airs on Sundays at 8/7c. You can stream it the next day on Peacock.

The post Candiace Dillard Bassett Calls RHOP Star ‘That Thing’ on WWHL appeared first on Reality Tea.

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 bringing the heat. So far, three Traitors remain in the game. One of the deceitful trio, Love Island star Rob Rausch, earned a ticket to witness the wrath of his fellow Traitors first-hand. No one wants to anger Real Housewives alums Lisa Rinna and Candiace Dillard Bassett. Unfortunately for Rob, he just learned that lesson the hard way.

During the round table vote, the Traitors agreed to banish Ron Funches. However, Rob genuinely liked Ron and didn’t want to vote for him. In addition, some of the other Faithfuls were gunning for Bachelor alum Colton Underwood. Somehow, Colton was controlling the game. Of course, he has been playing aggressively, but his decision to take out Tiffany Mitchell backfired when it was revealed she was a Faithful.

Since Rob was aligned with Colton, he felt he couldn’t vote for him without looking sus. So, when Colton targeted Traitor Lisa, Rob threw his vote to her. In the end, Ron was banished. Meanwhile, after this wild round table, the Traitors have to murder in plain sight. And Rinna’s decision leading up to host Alan Cumming’s banquet was a huge mistake.

Lisa Rinna chose to commit a murder in plain sight on The Traitors Season 4

While Candiace, Rinna, and Rob were in the turret, Alan came to deliver news that no one would be murdered. Since none of the players took a shield from the mission, all the Faithfuls were spared. However, this trio had a monumental decision to make.

“Tomorrow I will hold a great banquet in my castle hall. It is here that you must commit murder in plain sight,” Alan told the Traitors. “But this time, in front of everyone.” He showed a lovely, red brooch to the group. “The first Faithful to touch the amulet will be cursed … to death,” he added.

As the trio debated Alan’s latest twist in the game, Rinna spoke up. “I’m telling you. I can wear this,” she said. “Oh, and I can do it.” Obviously, Rob wearing the brooch would have attracted way too much attention.

However, since eyes are already on Rinna, insisting on taking on this mission was foolish. If The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star fails, there won’t be a murder, and she will miss a chance to take out Colton. However, even if Rinna succeeds, her identity could be revealed during or after Alan’s banquet. It isn’t worth the risk.

Rinna already has suspicions on her from The Traitors cast

Rinna is looking suspicious to several Faithfuls. Most notably, Colton. He clocked that Rinna is not acting like she normally does. She was meek and quiet at the round table, not large and in charge. Even her friend, Real Housewives of New York alum Dorinda Medley, had to admit that Rinna was not acting like herself.

In addition, Colton called out Rinna’s over-the-top breakfast table reactions and decision to wear her sunglasses in the castle. Such traitorous behavior! When will players learn not to act like they’re in an audition at breakfast?

Plus, Rinna’s decision to listen to Ron and vote out Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams during the first banishment rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. Survivor star Natalie Anderson felt it was sus. Everyone believed that the housewives always stick together, so Lisa voting for Porsha gave some players doubts. In the end, Lisa was nearly banished, with Ron securing one more vote than she did.

Another player, RuPaul’s Drag Race star Monet X Change, was already murdered for suspecting Rinna. If Colton is killed, he already told people in the castle that it was the RHOBH star. With so many people watching her every move, trying to commit a murder in plain sight is much too dangerous for Lisa.

Lisa’s broach will likely be called out after the Traitors murder

In addition, there is tumult among the Traitors. Both Candiace and Lisa felt like Rob was reckless and didn’t need to write down Lisa’s name. This is the first time there was tension among the duplicitous trio. So, going into the banquet, Lisa’s stress level must be high. Thankfully, all the guests were dressing to impress at this banquet, so Lisa’s brooch won’t look too obvious.

Still, in the preview for the next episode, Alan told the players about a similar Scottish banquet in 1440. “They ate, drank, and shared merry tales,” Alan explained. “However, just before dessert, they were served with their own demise.” He added that his banquet “is a little taste of history repeating.”

So, if the competitors know that a murder was committed in plain sight, suspicion will probably fall on Lisa and her ruby brooch. She is already on several people’s radars, was called out at the round table, and is wearing some ostentatious jewelry.

This is a high-stakes mission that Lisa volunteered for. And not only does she risk being unmasked as a Traitor, but who she murders could lead back to her. Obviously, Colton has zero quit when it comes to banishing Lisa. If Lisa can’t get Colton to touch her brooch, she could be banished at the next round table. And if Lisa had let Candiace take on this murder, then she could back out of the spotlight. However, her decision to murder and desire to eliminate Colton could be her undoing.

The post The Traitors Season 4: Why Lisa Rinna’s Decision Was a Mistake — Opinion appeared first on Reality Tea.

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.

We’re all still trying to wrap our heads around that wild Real Housewives of Potomac moment, where Ashley Darby admitted to hooking up with Charrisse Jackson-Jordan’s son, Jackson Jordan. Plenty of people think it’s gross. Some think it’s okay, but Candiace Dillard Bassett just shared a more nuanced opinion. She thinks this is all just a reflection of Ashley’s upbringing.

Candiace Dillard Bassett reflects on Ashley Darby’s “humble beginnings”

Candiace recently appeared on Carlos King’s podcast, Reality with the King. During the interview, they talked about motherhood, Season 4 of The Traitors, and RHOP. Of course, Carlos had to ask for her opinion on Ashley and Jackson’s tryst, and Candiace couldn’t resist taking things to hell.

“Do I think it defines her character? I think that it’s confirmation of the character that we’ve always known her to have,” Candiace told Carlos.

“To which I don’t always fault her,” she continued. “I don’t condemn people for all of their evil because everyone has a story and everyone is who they are because of where they have been and what they have been through.”

Candiace went on to theorize that most of Ashley’s choices were a result of her upbringing and what she went through before we met her on Bravo. From marrying Michael Darby to hooking up with Jackson, Candiace thinks this behavior is rooted in how Ashley was released.

She said, “You hear her talk about it, at least when I was there, she talked about it a lot, how she came from humble beginnings, and they didn’t have a lot of money, and her parents were abusing substances, and I think that informed why she felt like she had to go run up behind Golem.”

Although Ashley has maintained her innocence in all of this, Candiace called it “low-down, low-budget, slue-footed, trailer park nonsense.” She didn’t feel surprised by it, though. She thinks it’s on-brand for Ashley.

Candiace concluded, “I think she is a woman that is haunted by her environment, and she is a product of her environment, and it makes her do foul, low-budget things, like justify allegedly sleeping with your friend’s son.”

The Real Housewives of Potomac airs on Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo. You can stream it the following day on Peacock.

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.
