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.

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.

TELL US – ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT COLTON AND LISA ARE IN A GOOD PLACE? WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE TRAITOR IN SEASON 4?

The post Lisa Rinna Praises Traitors Co-Star Despite Season 4 Feud 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.

Season 4 of The Traitors is must-watch television. The Thursday, January 8 premiere smashed records for the streaming service, drawing “638 million viewing minutes for the week of Jan. 5-11,” according to Nielsen streaming data. Peacock has taken note of the show’s growing popularity and, in response, has launched a companion podcast hosted by Season 3 cast members “Boston Rob” Mariano and Bob the Drag Queen. 

Reality Tea had the chance to chat with Bob and Rob ahead of the release of Episode 7, which will be available to stream on Peacock on Thursday, January 29, at 9 p.m. ET. The hosts shared their thoughts on the season so far, including Colton Underwood’s controversial decision to offer an alliance to Lisa Rinna, who is a Traitor. 

Here’s what you need to know.

Rob Mariano and Bob the Drag Queen react to Colton Underwood’s unprecedented move

Rob and Bob are well-versed in the intricacies of the game. The two were selected to be Traitors in Season 3, setting them on a path of deception, treachery, and murder. The pair had an impressive run, evading capture by assisting in banishing the innocent, and choosing their murder victims wisely. But eventually, their reign came to an end, and they left Scotland without the prize pot.

Their insider knowledge of the game makes them the perfect pair to break down Colton’s confusing play in Episode 6. The Bachelor alum felt confident that Lisa Rinna was guilty of being a Traitor, so he approached her and attempted to make a deal. His silence for her protection. Unfortunately for Colton, Lisa didn’t take the bait, and the conversation only increased his odds of being taken out of the game.

We asked Bob and Rob what they thought of this innovative move by Colton.

“I didn’t hate the sentiment at all. As a matter of fact, I like the out of the box thinking,” he said. “The problem I think was in the execution. He offered her, basically, an extortion. He was trying to get her to admit that she was a Traitor. By doing so, it put her on the defensive.”

Bob suggested that Colton could’ve been even more devious.

“What I think he should’ve done is go to her and be like, ‘One of the producers accidentally told me that you’re a Traitor.’ I’d do it really in the corner, try to hide it from the cameras—make it look like I’m not on camera. And I’d be like, ‘In fairness to the game, I’m gonna stop coming for you.’ Then, if she admits it, I’d be like, ‘Got you, b*tch,’” he told us, letting out a big laugh.

The Traitors is available to stream on Peacock. The Traitors Official Podcast is available on Spotify, Peacock, and Peacock’s YouTube.

Season 4 of The Traitors is filled with big personalities. One of this season’s Traitors, Lisa Rinna, toned down her housewives persona. However, when Bachelor alum Colton Underwood clocked that Lisa was acting more mild than usual, he felt that she was a Traitor.

The duo battled at the round table, and Lisa was nearly ousted from the game. However, Ron Funches was banished instead. Of course, Lisa offered to show Colton her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills persona, and he eagerly accepted. Now Lisa is about to commit a murder in plain sight. Watch out, Colton!

The Traitors Season 4 sees Lisa Rinna and Colton Underwood go head-to-head

The drama from The Traitors spilled over into social media. A fan posted a photo of Lisa from RHOBH via Threads, calling out Colton. Lisa responded in the comments, “Let’s talk about you being a stalker….” This reportedly referenced an incident from Colton’s past.

He began dating his frontrunner from his Bachelor season, Cassie Randolph. However, after the duo broke up, Cassie alleged that Colton was stalking her. She obtained a restraining order, which was dropped two months later.

Lisa took to her Instagram Stories to ask for peace. “It’s come to my attention that my post that I responded to in my ‘housewife mode’ is taking on a life of its own, and it’s causing real problems for Colton,” the RHOBH alum said. “I do not want this because Colton and I are great.”

She continued, “The fact that the backlash is happening, I feel horrible about because I don’t want to hurt anybody. I’m here to play the game and have fun. I’ve only always had a great time with him.” Lisa added, “So, please guys be gentle. It’s a game, it’s a TV show. We’re all doing the best we can. Don’t send death threats or do anything to jeopardize somebody’s family.”

Hopefully, this online negativity will end so that fans and the players can fully enjoy the game.

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.

TELL US – WHAT WERE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE TRAITORS SEASON 4 EPISODE 6? WERE YOU SURPRISED BY RON’S BANISHMENT? DO YOU THINK LISA CAN PULL OFF THE NEXT MURDER?

The post The Traitors Season 4 Episode 6 Recap: Did Another Faithful Get Banished? appeared first on Reality Tea.

The Traitors, Season 4 is heating up! Episodes four and five, released on Thursday, January 15, claimed two more sacrifices, leaving just 15 players remaining in the fight for the prize pot. The last two players eliminated were Faithfuls, meaning three Traitors are still at large. Episode 6 will end another two players’ journey in the castle. And the Faithfuls are running out of chances to stop those dastardly Traitors from stealing their money. So, who will be the next to fall? We have some thoughts.

Here is who we predict will go home in the next episode of The Traitors…

Who could go home in The Traitors Season 4 Episode 6?

Among the 15 players remaining, a few are in danger of being eliminated next episode. Whether it be because they are an appetizing target for the Traitors, or because the Faithfuls are growing wary of them. Colton Underwood and Ron Funches are possible candidates for banishment. Their names have been floating around the castle recently, especially after the evidence they presented at the roundtable resulted in two Faithfuls being banished. The group felt misled by these self-proclaimed leaders, and now they want them removed. 

In addition to those in danger of banishment, there are those is danger of being killed off by the Traitors. It is more difficult to predict who will suffer this fate because we don’t know the Traitors’ motive. They may want to kill a big threat, someone they fear will figure out their identity, or they may choose someone totally random to cause confusion. If they go the random route, I suspect Maura Higgins and Johnny Weir may be in danger. But if they want to get rid of a big threat, Survivor legend Natalie Anderson makes the most sense.

Season 4 of The Traitors is delivering! The show had a secret, albeit brief, twist with a Secret Traitor. Meanwhile, Michael Rapaport continued to create chaos and sow division in the castle. And when he came for The Bachelor alum Colton Underwood, it was too much for the cast.

During a roundtable in Season 4, Episode 5, Michael attacked Colton. However, by then, Michael had already aggravated his fellow players with his aggressive style and insistence on distracting the group. During the roundtable discussion, Michael told Colton, “Nobody in this room would be better at holding a secret than you.”

Colton Underwood felt like a “punching bag” for Michael Rapaport on The Traitors Season

It seemed pretty clear that Michael was referencing the fact that Colton hid his sexuality for many years. And the players’ angry reactions were immediate. “The coming-out process takes a long time, and I’m still very much in my coming-out process,” Colton told Entertainment Weekly. “The drama and the intensity of the show is always so game-focused, so I think that’s what just threw me a little bit, is when it got personal. And he was using me as a human being instead of my gameplay against me,” he added.

While Michael denied that his remark was about Colton’s sexuality, that isn’t the way that Colton felt. “I could just tell you how I took it, and I did take it that it was not in a gaming way,” Colton explained. “And it was more of a personal dig at my past and what I went through and how I handled myself.” And when Michael did apologize, Colton decided “to take him for his word. I’m not holding a grudge against him, but I do think it is important for me in my life at this point to start standing up for myself.” He added, “I can only be a punching bag for so long.”

Meanwhile, while he hasn’t spoken to Michael, Colton revealed that they “exchanged a conversation that, for right now, is being kept private.” It seems that the players were happy to banish Michael and see his toxic energy exit the castle.

The Traitors continues on Thursdays at 9/8c on Peacock.

Season 4 of The Traitors featured a shocking face-to-face murder. Caroline Stanbury’s challenge partner, Colton Underwood, failed to pass a challenge. This failure resulted in Caroline being tied to a tree overnight. Unfortunately for her, The Real Housewives of Dubai alum didn’t know that Lisa Rinna was a Traitor.

Meanwhile, out of four possible victims, the Traitors murdered Caroline. However, before she met her end, she faced Lisa, Real Housewives of Potomac alum Candiace Dillard Bassett, and Rob Rausch. “Rinna, you bitch,” Caroline muttered. So, how does Caroline feel about Lisa and Colton now?

Caroline Stanbury says “baddie” Lisa Rinna “plays the villain”

Recently, Caroline explained why she partnered with Colton. “Who knew he’s got shaky hands?” she said. “I know he tried, and he felt terrible.”

As for her reaction to seeing the faces of the Traitors? “I mean, I wasn’t surprised by Lisa Rinna at all. She plays the villain. She is a baddie,” Caroline told Gold Derby. “That’s who she is, that’s what she enjoys.”

The former RHODubai star continued, “Obviously, I have a relationship with her outside of the show, but it’s tactical. It’s a game. I’m not personally angry.” Well, Caroline looked a little annoyed at the time.

“It’s actually a very clever move that they played. It took the heat off them completely. Candiace and her together, two Housewives,” Caroline stated.

Unlike Caroline, who isn’t holding a grudge, Real Housewives of Atlanta peach Porsha Williams is salty. Unfortunately, she was the first player to be banished at the Round Table. This RHOA star called out Lisa for voting her out and not having her back. According to Porsha, Real Housewives should stick together like glue, as the gamers do.

In all honesty, I didn’t expect Lisa to make it far in the game. However, as a Traitor, she is thriving.

In case you missed it, The Traitors went completely off the rails this week. In Season 4 Episode 5, “If You’re Gonna Come For Me, I’ll Finish You,” Michael Rapaport and his mouth crossed a line. It happened during a heated exchange with Colton Underwood.

Throughout the episode, the two traded accusations about who might be a Traitor. Obviously, that’s the name of the game, but the notoriously sensitive “actor and comedian” felt especially rattled by the finger-pointing. When it was time to face off at the roundtable, things escalated, and Michael made a comment that immediately sucked all of the air out of the room.

Colton Underwood’s sexuality was seemingly brought up by Michael Rapaport on The Traitors Season 4

At the top of Episode 5, Colton opened up to the group about his coming-out story. Some of the other players didn’t know that he came out as gay after appearing on The Bachelor. At the roundtable, Michael seemingly used that information as part of his argument for why Colton might be a Traitor.

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

“There it is,” Colton responded. “You think it was fun for 29 years of my life?”

Michael insisted that the comment had “nothing to do” with Colton’s coming-out story. However, many of the castmembers in the room sided with Colton.

“You can’t blame someone for being forced into a closet for the majority of their lives,” Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir said. “That is what we took it as.”

The votes rolled in, and they were overwhelmingly against Michael. Many players admitted that they weren’t voting for him because they thought he was a Traitor. They just wanted the negative energy out of the castle.

Following his banishment, Michael gave a final confessional interview that sounded less like his normal bravado and more like a statement from a public relations team.

“I meant what I meant within the context of the game,” Michael claimed. ”It had nothing to do with his sexuality. I really sincerely apologize if I offended Colton or anybody in the house. That absolutely wasn’t the intention.”

After the episode aired, fans online have been calling out Michael for taking the game to such a toxic place and accusing him of making a “homophobic” remark. Unsurprisingly, he’s been replying to the feedback by mocking the LGBTQ+ community and doubling down on his behavior. It’s all very on-brand for this strange, little man.

The Traitors continues on Thursdays at 9/8c on Peacock.
