The Traitors Season 4 on Peacock had three Traitors that were selected by Alan Cumming at the roundtable, but another Traitor in particular was chosen at the top of the episode in plain sight.
This special Traitor, dubbed the Secret Traitor, would operate outside of the confines of the primary three Traitors in the turret. While the Secret Traitor would not be responsible for the murder itself, they would shortlist Faithfuls to murder.
Let’s break down who was the Secret Traitor and how we pieced the puzzle together before the reveal.
‘The Traitors’ Season 4 Secret Traitor was…
Donna Kelce.
NFL players Travis and Jason Kelce’s mom was the Secret Traitor. At face value, it kind of makes sense, as Donna is one of the biggest stunt castings that the American version of the show has done. Also, it seems like the Faithful were always going to have their eye on her.
Evidence of Donna Kelce being the Secret Traitor
Prior to the Episode 3 reveal that Donna was the Secret Traitor, it was actually relatively easy to use a process of elimination to realize she was the culprit.
The biggest clue came in Episode 2 when Rob Cesternino, who was eventually murdered, was shortlisted. Of the available options for the Secret Traitor, it was unlikely that another Survivor alum, or a fellow gamer such as Big Brother‘s Tiffany Mitchell, would shortlist Rob C. Tara Lipinski was also on the shortlist, and it is unlikely that her biggest ally coming into the game, fellow figure skater Johnny Weir, would shortlist her.
This left the options for the Secret Traitor to be Mark Ballas, Dorinda Medley, Stephen Colletti, Ron Funches, Maura Higgins, Donna Kelce, Eric Nam, Michael Rapaport, Caroline Stanbury and Colton Underwood.
Now, from this list, it was highly suggested that the Secret Traitor was a woman, dwindling this list down to Dorinda, Donna, Caroline and Maura. Out of these four, it seems very unlikely after making history and having two Housewives as Traitors, that the show would have a whopping three Housewives as Traitors out of four overall.
This leaves Donna and Maura… and out of those two, we’re coming up Donna!
The Traitors Episodes 401-403 are streaming now on Peacock. After this week, episodes will air weekly on the streamer.
