Initially, the traitors were still getting used to each other, so it’s understandable that they might feel uneasy about Boston Rob joining their group. However, Danielle realizes that it’s more advantageous for them if he’s on their side rather than against them. Moreover, having Rob on their team provides them with valuable information about which players possess the shields. Despite this, they remain in disarray.

In every proposal they make, there’s substantial resistance, and it’s tough for them to determine whether they should foster discord or unity. The dilemma boils down to either eliminating Ayan or Dolores to add another Housewife twist, or removing Tom to pin the blame on Chrishell. The Bravolebrities haven’t faced such peril since Bravo started reviving their franchise shows.

As the final team of players casually strolls into breakfast, it’s revealed that Chanel Ayan is the most recent contestant eliminated. “This is Housewife Hunters, not Traitors anymore,” Dolores grumbles before resuming her task of picking up the portrait Alan had carelessly discarded earlier. Turning our attention to Alan, he made a flamboyant entrance at breakfast wearing gold shoes, sequined pants, a leather shirt, and a turban as a farewell gesture – his way of saying “goodbye” from his role as Dubai’s “Real Housewife.” Although Dorinda is no longer with us, her extravagant outfits are still being put to good use.

Looking back at the secret meeting of the Traitors, Bob is seen making a profound statement. “If we manage to unravel this mystery, they will too. But if it’s all confusion, they’ll only react out of fear.” Hence, their action against Ayan was aimed at causing disorder.

Although I believe Bob’s theory on chaos is valid, which could make Ayan’s murder a calculated act, our Traitors remain in disorganization. Danielle, who chats excessively during breakfast, seems suspicious to Rob due to her drawing unwanted attention. Meanwhile, Carolyn feels lonely and outcast, referring to herself as an oddball who doesn’t get heard. “I’m always that wall turd,” she says, “but this turd will reach the end.” Let’s embroider it on a pillow. Unfortunately, when she tries to share her concerns with Nikki, Gabby, and Bob Harper, they are overheard labeling her as a mess (they actually said ‘a bag of nuts’). However, they don’t suspect that ‘bag of nuts’ is one of the Traitors.

It seems that Bob the Drag Queen could be in a situation where he might be unmasked.

Aside from that, I find it amusing that the production team chose to feature two individuals named Bob this season, which has led to frequent repetition of “Bob the Drag Queen” throughout both the cast’s and my own conversations. Nonetheless, Dylan Efron takes charge and directs everyone’s attention towards Wells, hinting that it was Bob and Robyn who may have caused his expulsion from the group.

It might not have been wise to discuss such a sensitive topic in front of so many people, especially considering that Rob is one of Bob’s alleged traitors. But let’s shift our focus now to this week’s mission: our characters must guide a balloon through a spooky carnival maze, picking one door out of four to progress, each set having another four doors, and so on. If they select the wrong door, a clown emerges and bursts their balloon.

I won’t bother discussing this task since everyone seems to be struggling so much that all their balloons burst before anyone can contribute or win prizes, making the entire operation a failure. The only significant event was the usual debate about who should go first, reminiscent of the boat races. This discussion is like a Catch-22: if you don’t offer to go first, you’re labeled selfish, but if you do, they call you comfortable and untrustworthy. Eventually, Bob Harper persuades Tony to volunteer, which he isn’t pleased about.

Moving from the amusement hall (funhouse) to the main castle, the participants keep deliberating over possible traitors, slowly making progress. Jeremy expresses distrust towards Danielle, prompting Bob to immediately inform her about it. Additionally, Jeremy confides in Bob that Dylan has been hinting at him, causing Bob to prepare for a confrontation. On a brighter note for the traitors, Chrishell, Gabby, and Nikki (the Bambis) are growing wary of Tony as well.

As the discussion gets underway, Dylan initiates by clearly and composure expressing his viewpoint: that they should focus on Bob the Drag Queen and Robyn since it was them who initially suggested Wells’ name. However, Bob reacts defensively in a hasty manner. On the other hand, Robyn calmly dismisses his point entirely.

However, Bob presents a more compelling case for Dylan concerning Ayan’s death. He questions Dylan, saying, “If someone creates a puzzle, another can solve it. Solve this puzzle,” he challenges Dylan. Since Bob gives him an insoluble task, it effectively undermines his credibility. Yet, Dylan persists. “I don’t believe you’re a traitor,” Bob says to him, “but you are misguided.” In a witty manner, he suggests, “That should be your drag name; Miss Guided. Welcome to the stage,” he adds. This conversation is worthy of additional funds in the pot for each clever one-liner during discussions like these.

The discussion shifts towards Tony, as Gabby inquires about why he mentioned Chrishell and Bob Harper. This appears to escalate into a situation where both Tony and Bob seem to accuse each other of being traitors. Robyn adds fuel to the fire by stating she believes Alan would pick Tony because he’s a good traitor. To top it off, Boston Rob finds it odd that Tony hasn’t spoken with him all day, despite giving him his shield.

In an unexpected turn of events, it seems Tony has been banished from his land. This intrigues me as I perceive him to be the one with the least substantial evidence against him among all the names brought up in discussion – mostly it was about vibes. Yet, this instance serves as a powerful demonstration of how one’s reputation can shape the course of things significantly in this game. As Tony emotionally unveils his devotion to Faith, he dramatically accuses Rob, “You’re selling out, buddy,” making for quite captivating television.

Following the meeting, Dylan and Bob reached an understanding, sharing a laugh over their intense back-and-forth. However, Dylan hints at a shift in his perspective, yet in his private reflection, he maintains that Bob is still a traitor. But until he has solid proof, he can’t openly accuse him. Having a hidden threat gathering information isn’t good for Bob, but given their argument was so open, eliminating Dylan prematurely wouldn’t be wise.

Instead of their regular gathering at their fortress, the Traitors are instructed to select three individuals as potential targets for murder. They need to choose these names and inscribe them on a parchment in the wine storage area, openly, without getting noticed. The chosen three will then be placed in coffins, where the group will pick one to eliminate. In the meantime, Bob, Rob, and Danielle manage to sneak away for a secret meeting in the cellar, but Carolyn is left behind. Since they’re allowed to include one of their own names, they briefly consider her. Upon finding her fellow Traitors in the cellar, an excited Danielle asks Carolyn if she would be willing to take up one of the coffin positions. The expression on Carolyn’s face, coupled with her response, “Girl,” made me erupt with laughter. However, they abandon that plan, which highlights Carolyn’s position as an outsider within this group.

As events unfold, it appears that other players are starting to pick up on something unusual. The Traitors were making their presence known as they moved stealthily through the castle, seeking each other out. Robyn was suspiciously nearby when they eventually entered the cellar, and now, as they attempt to leave, Gabby seems to be hovering outside the door. However, we’ll need to watch closely to determine if she noticed them all exiting together, which could potentially seal their fate.
