Oh, and speaking of banishments, we’ve got you covered with a handy tracker so you can keep your conscience clear as new episodes drop every Thursday at 6 p.m. PST/9 p.m. EST on Peacock. Here’s every elimination, murder, and banishment from The Traitors U.S. season 4.
The Traitors Season 4 Murders
Episode 2 Murder: Ian Terry (Faithful)
It looks like The Traitors fans on Reddit were right to spiral about Ian’s sudden absence from the season 4 teaser. We’ll admit, it was a little sus at the time, but it turns out he was actually murdered by this season’s Traitors, Lisa Rinna, Rob Rausch, and Candiace Dillard-Bassett, as they saw him as a major threat in the game.
Episode 3 Murder: Rob Cesternino (Faithful)
In the words of Traitor Rob Rausch: “There’s only room for one Rob in this castle.” Which is exactly why he and Lisa murdered him. In. Plain. Sight. When Candi tried to distract the Faithfuls by starting a Conga line after the round table, the other Traitors pretended to play chess as they grabbed Rob C.’s card and threw it into the flames of the breakfast room’s fireplace. It didn’t happen without fault, though, because Rob C. himself was fully onto their scheme and talked it out with Candi as it happened in real time.
Episode 4 Murder: Caroline Stanbury (Faithful)
The Real Housewives of Dubai star was taken out right at the beginning of episode 4, as the Traitors saw her as a threat for “talking too much” and creating distrust among the Faithfuls—especially her fellow Housewives. Caroline was pretty shocked by Candiace and Lisa, thinking the Housewives had each other’s backs, but as she pointed out: “Only a Housewife could look you straight in the eye and stab you directly in the back.”
Episode 5 Murder: Monét X Change (Faithful)
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars season four winner Monét met her end when she became too suspicious of Lisa and, therefore, presented a threat to the Traitors. As Mo joked, she may be gone, but she’s “going to haunt these hallways” as a “Faithful ghost” for the rest of the season. For more tea on everything that went down with Monét this season, check out Cosmo’s exclusive exit interview with the drag icon, below.
Episode 7 Murder: Yam Yam Arocho (Faithful)
Survivor season 44 winner Yam Yam was murdered by Traitor Lisa after she tricked him into touching a “cursed” amulet at Alan’s Black Banquet. But when he was carried away, he yelled out, “It was Lisa who kissed me,” which raised suspicious about the Housewife...but Lisa and Candiace then sneakily worked together to frame Natalie Anderson for the murder instead.
The Traitors Season 4 Banishments
Episode 2 Banishment: Porsha Williams (Faithful)
It looks like The Traitors is keeping up its longstanding tradition of giving any Housewives the boot (we’re just glad it wasn’t Dorinda this time!). The Faithfuls were divided at first, as some suspected Donna and Porsha were Traitors. Natalie immediately placed her bets on Mama Kelce, who claimed she was “low-hanging fruit” in the game due to her lack of connections with the other players. Ron Funches then claimed Porsha had referred to murdering Ian in several conversations, while Eric Nam and Maura Higgins were convinced that Michael Rapaport is a Traitor because of him constantly “throwing off” other players during the round table discussion. In the end, the Faithfuls decided that Porsha was the most suspicious of the bunch and, ultimately, got her out of the castle.
Episode 3 Banishment: Donna Kelce (Secret Traitor)
We had a hunch Donna wouldn’t last too long in the castle, especially because her fellow Faithfuls already had their suspicions about her during the previous round table discussion. However, Michael started beefing with Yam Yam at breakfast that same morning, which led other Faithfuls to remain sus about his integrity in the game. He kept up the antics during the round table, but he was still up against Donna, who Candi and Colton Underwood pointed out mostly kept to herself. Mama Kelse then explained she was merely observing the other players before attempting to get to know them better, but it ended up being her downfall. Well, along with the fact that Alan chose her as his Secret Traitor, who drops a short list of murders for Rob, Candi, and Lisa to choose from each night. Let’s hope she has a moment to speak about this whole experience on Jason and Travis Kelce’s podcast, New Heights…
Episode 4 Banishment: Tiffany Mitchell (Faithful)
Big Brother alum Tiffany may be a game player, but it seems she played this game all wrong. After making enemies of several fellow Faithfuls—including Ron, Michael, and Yam Yam—she began to seem too much like a Traitor. The final straw came when Eric claimed he heard Tiffany’s distinctive laugh while he was bound (he is a musician, after all, so he knows pitch!), leading everyone to believe she was, indeed, a Traitor. Colton then pushed for her banishment at the round table, and lo and behold, she got the boot. And naturally, everyone was shocked when they realize they’d actually targeted a Faithful.
Episode 5 Banishment: Michael Rapaport (Faithful)
We finally bid adieu to the season’s biggest villain...who, shockingly, was not cast as a Traitor! (It would have been too obvious, perhaps?) Michael’s aggressive approach to the game rubbed several players the wrong way—but things really came to a head after Colton pushed hard to banish Tiffany. That led to a major showdown between Michael and the former Bachelor, during which Michael told Colton, “Nobody in this room would be better at holding a secret than you”—and naturally, this didn’t sit well with anyone. At the next round table, Colton once again led the charge, and Michael was voted out. His parting words: “You just voted out the best looking, the smartest, and the dopest Faithful.” K, bye!
Episode 6 Banishment: Ron Funches (Faithful)
For weeks now, players have repeatedly been naming Ron as the most likely Traitor...but as it turns out, he was a Faithful all along. His big mistake: when he pushed votes toward Porsha Williams, who also turned out to be a Faithful, which then made others suspicious of Ron. Things definitely got worse for him after his biggest ally, Donna Kelce, was exposed as a Secret Traitor, again adding to everyone’s suspicions. Ron told the group they could vote him out if it helped prove his innocence...and while his fellow players were torn, Ron was ultimately banished in a very close vote.
Episode 7 Banishment: Lisa Rinna (Traitor)
The RHOBH alum became the second Traitor banished from the game, mostly due to the efforts of Rob and Colton. According to her fellow Traitor Rob, there was no saving Lisa after Yam Yam raised everyone’s suspicions following the Black Banquet, and therefore, Rob had no choice but to throw her under the bus. Lisa’s closing words? “I am the most iconic, legendary Traitor.” Truer words!!
