The Traitors Season 4 has premiered on Peacock with the first three episodes, and the season has a few tricks up its sleeve, including a Secret Traitor. A group of Faithfuls one last season, but this season, could one or more Traitors reign supreme?
Here’s a breakdown/recap of the big moves in the first batch of episodes:
Here are the cast members selected as The Traitors:
Candiace Dillard Bassett, Rob Rausch and Lisa Rinna
The first three Traitors, selected by Alan Cumming in the first episode, were Candiace Dillard Bassett (The Real Housewives of Potomac), Rob Rausch (Love Island USA Season 6) and Lisa Rinna (The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills). It marks the first time a Love Island alum has been a Traitor and the first time that two Housewives have been Traitors at once.
At the beginning of the episode, Alan also chose a Secret Traitor, who would operate in secret, outside of the three Traitors in the turret. For at least the first few murders, the Secret Traitor would shortlist Faithuls for murder, and then the other three Traitors would have to select who to murder from that list.
The first Faithfuls murdered by The Traitors were:
Ian Terry and Rob Cesternino
The gamers are down bad. After having a coffin put in his grave during the first episode, Ian Terry (Big Brother 14 winner, Big Brother 22) landed on the shortlist for murder and was ultimately the person chosen by The Traitors to be murdered. He was the first person to be banished or murdered.
Next, Rob Cesternino (Survivor Season 6 and Season 8), who returned to reality television for the first time in over two decades, was the second person to be murdered. He was shortlisted for murder by the Secret Traitor ahead of the second murder, which was a murder in plain sight that had to be carried out by the other three Traitors.
Ultimately, he was chosen by Lisa and Rob Rausch to be murdered, which was probably a good thing because he’d clocked that a murder in plain sight was taking place when it was.
Who was the first person banished?
Porsha Williams
The first person banished was Porsha Williams (The Real Housewives of Atlanta). After a few speech flubs and some questionable gameplay and mistakes, many Faithfuls had their eye on Porsha and she was the first person to be banished in Season 4.
Who was the Secret Traitor (and the second person banished)?
Donna Kelce
Donna Kelce, mother of Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce, was the Secret Traitor chosen by Alan Cumming at the top of the episode. She was then the second person banished after Porsha, after many people speculated that she could be a traitor. Find out more about Kelce being the Secret Traitor here.
