The Traitors host Alan Cumming wasn’t kidding when he teased the latest episode.
Alan had been urging fans to tune in. He knew chaos was coming.
Chaos certainly descended upon The Traitors 4, leaving a mess in its wake.
The drama began with infighting among the three Traitors, and only got worse when a player got physically dragged out of the game.
For some backstory, Rob Rausch from Love Island voted against Lisa Rinna at a previous Roundtable. Rob and Lisa are both Traitors, causing friction between them.
Then, the three Traitors (Rob, Lisa, and Candiance Dillard Bassett) were tasked with murdering someone “in plain sight” that evening.
Lisa agreed to do it, and that’s where the story begins.
What happened on The Traitors 4, Episode 7?
During a dinner party, Lisa had to convince someone to touch the brooch on her dress. She did. But it was kept secret from the viewers and the other Traitors.
Shortly after that, Alan entered the room and told them someone had been murdered. But he also brought two bottles of antidote. People who drank them would be safe, and thus began lots of fighting among people who didn’t want to die in the game.
Kristen Kish from Top Chef and Natalie Anderson from Survivor secured the viles and gained safety. But they weren’t the targets. Still, their insistence on getting the viles put them in a bad light later on.
Alan announced that Yam Yam Arocho from Survivor had been murdered. Two guards came to take him away, leading to a dramatic moment where he got dragged out as he tried to pin his murder on Lisa.
Here’s a quick video clip of the dramatic moment:
Did Yam Yam break some unwritten rules on The Traitors 4?
Yam Yam outing Lisa didn’t sit well with all the viewers. Some felt he should have remained quiet after he died in the game.
“Maybe a hot #TheTraitorsUS take: Just like the circle of truth, I think if you’re murdered in plain sight live, you should not be allowed to out people on the way out,” wrote Mike Bloom.
It was a huge blow to Lisa, as she was voted out at the Roundtable later in the episode.
But it sure made for some great TV!
“This most recent episode of Traitors absolutely delivered. If you haven’t watched it yet, stop reading right now. SPOILERS AHEAD, and I’m not responsible for your poor life choices,” wrote Wes Bergmann from The Challenge.
Meanwhile, Rob was enjoying himself at the banquet as the drama played out.
“Everyone fighting over who gets to drink the antidote, meanwhile my guy Rob just housing a whole egg #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUS,” wrote one viewer.
More to come on The Traitors 4
