The Traitors Recap: Secrets Revealed

by

Everyone, including Candiace, is wondering whose tarot card Rob and Lisa burned. Candiace was preoccupied organizing a distracting conga line during the event and is now worried Rob C. will discover their plan. Because the two groups working together couldn’t talk beforehand, they didn’t realize Rob C. was suspicious when they made the decision. Despite this, Lisa and Rob decided to go ahead with it anyway. Was it because Rob C. was a strong competitor, or simply because Rob wanted to be the only one with that name left? That’s for you to decide.

When news of his murder is announced at breakfast, Candiace—who secretly wished he was gone—puts on an incredible act. She dramatically cries out, “NOOO!” and delivers a performance worthy of an award. She claims he was a close friend, while footage later shows her happily celebrating his death privately. She even offers a toast to his memory at the table, which felt a bit much, but surprisingly, no one called her out on it.

Yam Yam and Michael got into a heated argument – Michael was still upset about not being given Yam Yam’s shield. While they argued, Michael, with his mouth full, revealed he didn’t understand a key game rule: that a ‘Traitor’ could actually possess the shield. Yam Yam quickly dismissed his complaints, as Michael isn’t very good at arguing his points. The rest of the players grew increasingly frustrated with Michael’s constant complaining, and it seemed likely he’d be the first one voted out simply because everyone was tired of listening to him.

Thankfully, Alan shows up in a hilarious costume – he’s dressed as the bisexual Heat Miser! But there’s a surprise: instead of sending the players on a mission, he announces they’re going straight to the roundtable discussion. Everyone is shocked – a daytime roundtable just feels off, like having the Super Bowl halftime show during daylight. The players quickly huddle to discuss, but they keep coming back to the same names: Ron, Donna, Yam Yam, and Michael (and hopefully, Michael will be eliminated soon and finally pack his sweaty clothes).

As soon as everyone’s seated, Donna strongly suspects Michael is a Traitor. She argues that those who are secretly working against the group often pretend to need protection to appear innocent, and Michael has been doing just that. She also notes that Rob C. voted for Michael right before he was eliminated, suggesting Rob is either intentionally being irritating to stay safe as a distraction, or he’s a Traitor too. Donna’s really going after him! She also cleverly points out that Michael claims to have studied the game, but consistently plays as if he doesn’t understand the rules, leading Donna to believe he’s either faking ignorance as a strategy or has simply lost his mental sharpness. She jokingly suggests the latter is more likely.

He insists he’s not just a Faithful player, but the best – claiming he’s the most attractive, intelligent, and impressive one there is. However, that’s simply not true. Every single thing he said about himself is demonstrably false, and frankly, it’s concerning enough to make me wonder how he even passed the psychological assessment for the show. I really hope this vote finally ends this whole situation.

I was completely sickened when the votes were tallied. I can’t believe this is happening! The cast almost unanimously voted Donna Kelce off the show, and I’ll never forgive them for this betrayal, which seems like something they planned in secret. They made a terrible decision, ignored what was right, and now I’m forced to watch even more of Michael Rapaport’s antics. It’s awful that they did this to Donna. She confidently revealed she was a loyal player, just as I knew she was, only to dramatically announce, “You’ve got yourselves a TRAITOR!”

Wow! Donna Kelce was revealed to be the mastermind behind the betrayals! She was secretly directing the other Traitors, deciding who to eliminate, all while staying quiet and strategic. In a flashback, she admitted she thought the whole thing would be fun. It was perfect casting – she was genuinely overjoyed at the end, thrilled to have been part of the experience. Even though the players who voted for her were correct, it’s still frustrating! But honestly, it’s not surprising they figured her out, considering, as her future daughter-in-law put it, Traitors rarely win.

It’s good to see the former villains finally working together! But before they can celebrate, they face a challenge: each pair has to free a teammate locked in a cage by finding and stacking ten skulls. Honestly, it’s a challenge many Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans probably wished would happen – imagine how much simpler things would have been for Kim Richards! However, the most entertaining part of this whole thing is watching Johnny attempt to rescue Eric. It wasn’t much of an attempt, actually. He didn’t manage to find even one skull, let alone ten, and failed to free Eric. It was a pretty embarrassing performance, especially considering he’s an Olympic athlete!

The recent challenge failure puts Eric, Lisa, Kristen, Ron, and Caroline in danger of being eliminated – essentially, they’re all potential ‘murder’ victims. Since Lisa has already been revealed as a ‘Traitor,’ that leaves four players at risk. Instead of the usual elimination process, the Traitors will take these four into the woods, blindfold them, and tie them to trees. The Traitors will then argue for why each person should be eliminated. Killing Caroline would lessen suspicion on Lisa and Candiace, eliminating Ron would create confusion because everyone already suspects him, Eric would be a surprising choice that would cause chaos, and Kristen is simply seen as a strong threat. For dramatic effect, the Traitors will personally carry out the elimination in the woods, where each blindfolded hostage can plead their case – though Ron boldly challenges them to kill him and demands they reveal their identities. While we don’t know who will be eliminated yet, it’s clear that Ron Funches deserves a role in a psychological thriller immediately.
