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 Traitors is available to stream on Peacock.
