Previously on "The Traitors"... [ Dramatic music plays ]
Who would you suspect?
I've been thinking Dan a little bit.
...Dan came under fire.
You just have a demeanor about you
that's just like you could be a killer.
A plot was formed.
I don't want to be the first to shoot but, like
we've got to give them some blood
I don't think I can win this game
with Phaedra in the traitors' conclave.
And Dan, Phaedra and Parvati's murderous reign continued.
[ Bell tolls ] - I love you. But you had to die.
Dearly beloved players, we are gathered here today
to say goodbye to one of you.
Ekin-Su.
- [ Gasps ] - No!
What?
We just lost $20,000.
Who is the person that's doing all this?
I think housewives.
Don't do the housewives thing. Don't do that, Parvati.
- I voted for you, Larsa. - I voted for Larsa.
Are you a faithful or a traitor?
[ Music builds, ends ]
I have been a faithful from day one.
[ Music continues ]
When you do stuff like that, it brings attention to me.
No one likes you, Parvati.
Everyone says you're a [bleep] traitor.
With the traitors turning on each other,
are the cracks beginning to show?
[ Music builds, ends ]
[ Mid-tempo music plays ]
For you to go in there and try to throw me under the bus,
saying I'm an actress with a clique--
I did not throw you under the bus.
I never called your name out. - What is it when you say--
The housewives? - I was talking about Larsa.
No, you weren't. You said the housewives.
That's what you said.
I was doing that because I needed to get Larsa out.
Well, don't do it with my name.
It pissed me off.
I didn't know if you were mad
or if you were pretending to be mad.
I'm not an actress.
Got it. Okay.
I really want you to know
that I am not throwing your name around.
I'm not trying to sabotage you in any way.
Okay. I'll accept that.
And I apologize if--
I accept your apology. Yeah.
Let's proceed. - Okay.
I believe in grace. I believe in mercy.
So we're gonna move on from it.
But if she behaves similarly later on,
then I will know she cannot be trusted.
I'm glad you guys were able to clear the air,
'cause it's so important that we work together.
- Yeah. - We're fighting off a house.
This took half a second for things to start popping off.
I lit the stick of dynamite, and I'm just kind of sitting back
and watching the fireworks go off
and thinking, "How can I use this to my advantage?"
I took the lead last night on Ekin-Su...
- You did a great job. - ...so I want to put the ball
in your court tonight.
You decide.
I need to make a peace offering,
so I want to hand over the controls to Phaedra.
So, who would cause the confusion?
It's got to be someone that is skilled at playing the game.
What about Sandra?
She's so good at the strategy.
So at some point, if one of us has suspicion on us
and the numbers are dwindling,
she'll pull the trigger on any of us.
What about Tamra?
Tamra, I think, would be a surprise for people.
She is kind of a loose cannon.
You don't know where she's gonna go.
Yeah. You don't know where she's gonna go.
Which one of those causes more confusion?
If you murder Sandra, does it cause more confusion...
...or if we murder Tamra?
[ Dramatic music plays ]
You got to make that call.
[ Music continues ]
[ Wolf howls ]
[ Down-tempo music plays ]
This morning,
the players will make their way down to breakfast.
But one faithful won't be joining them.
[ Music builds, ends ]
Oh, there's no one here.
We're the first ones?
I've never been first to breakfast.
Is that a good thing?
Now the paranoia sets in because we're the first ones here.
I don't know. Especially what happened last time with the poison.
I thought it was either me or you. I'll be honest.
I don't trust anybody in this game. Why would you?
But I think it's only right that every avenue should be explored.
Who do you think it is?
I was honing into the-- the housewives.
Yeah, but I think the housewives are just trying to
get votes together to get someone out of the game.
I don't think there's a strategy behind their voting at all.
People keep throwing the housewives out there
as traitors.
Let's just be real.
They don't have the skill or the strategy
to have this mastermind about who to murder.
[ Laughs ] [ Knock on door ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Mid-tempo music plays ] - Oh, my God!
- Hey! Let's go! - Yay!
- Whoo! Holy shit. - [ Laughing ] What the hell?
[ Laughs ] Oh, my God. - Mm! God.
Oh, my God! I thought it was...
Good to see you, Pete.
- Not today, Satan. - Not today.
Listen. This is going to start getting very, very telling.
We have to be getting closer to getting a traitor,
because there's less faithfuls in the castle.
Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.
This is the exact opposite to "The Bachelor."
Emotion is thrown out the door.
There's no more leading with your heart
or thinking with your heart.
It's all thinking with your mind and being two steps ahead.
We need to start finding a way to get these traitors
to start going against each other.
I am so focused in this game.
Twenty-four/seven, my thoughts are just racing,
and I'm going from theory to theory on the traitors.
And you can kind of feel it.
We're onto them, and it feels good.
Listen. There's got to be a guy in the group of traitors.
At least one. - One hundred percent.
And I'm very confident it's not one of us three.
Kevin or Bergie?
I mean, I don't think it's Kevin.
I don't think Bergie.
I have all my trust in him.
My suspicion right now, if there has to be a guy, is Dan.
[ Mid-tempo music plays ]
[ Knock on door ]
- Hi! - Hi!
- What is up? - Kevin!
- Whoof! - Whoof.
Am I glad to see you guys.
- Yeah. - Oh, man. Good to see you guys.
I was thinking it could have been you.
- I was, like, worried. - I was thinking that, too.
I'm thinking it's either gonna be Sandra,
Shereé, or Trishelle.
[ Knock on door ]
- What's up, guys?! - Ah!
Oh, my God. Yeah. Kevin, too.
- What's up, guys? - Good to see you too.
Hi, John.
Coming into breakfast, I'm super happy.
Peter is my closest ally.
In a game where you're not supposed to trust anybody,
you have to find people that you can trust.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
- Hey! - Hey!
Hey!
- Hi, Dan. - Hey.
I didn't sleep last night.
I'm, like, stressed out from, like, thinking about this game.
Every night without the shield-- sweat.
I don't understand. Like, is there a psychological thing?
We need a shield today.
- Yeah. - Or an option to get a shield.
Yeah.
Who do you guys think it is?
- Hi! - Oh!
- [ Laughing ] - Aah!
- Whoo! - Oh, my God.
Hi. Morning. Good to see you.
Another day, M.J.
[ Dramatic music plays ] - Please be Trishelle.
- Oh! - Oh, my God!
Oh, my God.
I can't believe I'm here. [ Laughs ]
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Who are we missing?
Tamra.
- Phaedra. - Phaedra.
[ Music continues ]
- And Sandra. - Oh, my God.
[ Knock on door ] - Uh-oh.
- All right. Moment of truth. - Okay.
[ Music builds ]
- Oh! - Oh!
- No... - Okay!
...way.
[ Knock on door ] - All right. Moment of truth.
[ Music builds ]
- Good morning! - Oh!
- Oh!
- No... - Oh, my God.
- ...way. - Tamra's dead.
- Tamra. - What?
No! Oh, my God!
[ Music builds, ends ]
[ Down-tempo music plays ]
I definitely love my housewife sisters, but...
[ Exhales deeply ]
...I think this will bring confusion.
And everybody knows I'm loyal to the housewives.
[ Music continues ]
Do you feel okay murdering one of your fellow housewives?
It's crazy.
[ Music continues ]
"Dear Tamra, by order of the traitors,
you have been murdered."
Signed the traitors.
[ Music continues ]
[ Voice breaking ] That's okay. I had the experience.
I got to be in this amazing castle.
I got to see a little bit of Scotland, and...
it's time to go home and be with my--
my kids and my husband.
This is way worse than "Housewives."
I didn't know it was so cut-throat!
I just hope it's not a housewife in there...
that murdered me.
[ Music continues ] - No way!
Why-- Why Tam?
Oh, my God.
Are there any boiled eggs?
I don't think Tamra's murder says anything about anything.
It doesn't. It was another brilliant murder by the traitors.
But they're moving forward and chipping away at faithfuls.
Boiled eggs?
It was-- Maybe it was hard for them to decide last night.
So they were like, "Who's an easy person to get rid of?"
And that's what last night was.
[ Down-tempo music plays ]
- Oh. - Oh.
- Oh, Lord. - Hey.
Good morning.
Rise and shine, my paranoid platoon.
[ Laughter ]
Tamra is now dead to us.
A real housewife lost her real house life.
Sent to eternal slumber as we ponder the age-old question--
Is there life after reality-competiton-show death?
[ Laughter ]
But we need to move on with our lives.
And to ease your sorrows, I have a treat for you,
something I have been waiting to share
that will finally arrive at my castle later
and turn this game upside down.
So, are you ready to seize the day?
Carpe diem.
Carpe diem indeed.
So once you've finished all your squawking,
I'll see you outside.
Ciao a tutti.
Oh, boy.
[ Music continues ]
How do you feel? What do you think?
Give me a-- Give me a theory, Dan.
You know me.
I'm trying to draw the red string between the murders.
No, but, I mean, do you have any red strings anywhere at all?
Assumptions? - No.
- Nothing? - I'm not gonna throw a name--
When I do-- - I'm not saying throw a name.
Maybe an avenue or explore, maybe, a rabbit hole. Maybe...
I mean, at one time or another, I think everybody could say
they've all suspected everybody at one point.
But you've never suspected anybody?
No. I think I'm starting to,
but I definitely don't want to say it.
You don't want to show your cards yet?
- Yeah. - Fair enough.
Has Dan expressed his suspicions
in private conversations?
No
Dan's a Traitor
I suspect C.T. and Parvati, but I think Dan's a traitor.
I say that because he's been doing exactly what I'd be doing
if I was a traitor.
He's been laying, you know, super low,
flying under the radar.
He's playing a really, really good game.
[ Mid-tempo music plays ]
- I'm coming out. Come on. - Is everybody going outside?
It's sunny and nice outside. We got to go outside.
[ Birds chirping ]
My God. That wind is winding.
Yeah, the wind is winding.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Janelle gave me weird traitor vibes right from the beginning.
Yeah.
I'm gonna put my neck out there,
put her on the banishment table.
I've been observing Janelle very closely since day one,
and everything just leads back to her.
Every banishment, her name comes up, then it goes away.
So I think this is a perfect ploy from a traitor.
Janelle and I were sitting together,
and everybody was gonna go for somebody else.
But then she said she believes it's Larsa
because of this theory.
But I told Janelle, "Look.
If you get this right and it's Larsa,
I will believe you're a faithful.
But if not, this doesn't look good."
I know there's some suspicion on me.
So if Janelle's name is gonna get called up,
I'll fully use it to my advantage
to win this game as a traitor.
We got to put Janelle on the spot.
- Yeah. - It's worth exploring.
- Yeah. - [ Sighs ]
[ Down-tempo music plays ]
We have to get a traitor this time. Like, we have to.
I feel like there's one that's so obvious.
Who?
I mean, you-- Seriously?
- Dan? - Yeah.
He still hasn't given anything. - I know, but--
You can't let him slip by forever without saying a name.
I think he will soon.
Is he gonna get murdered before he says the name?
I do suspect that Dan's a traitor.
I can see all the moves that he's doing
that he used to do in "Big Brother"
that I totally know about.
Dan, in the beginning of a game, plays possum,
and then he springs into action
when the numbers are in his favor, and he starts attacking.
He's the most devious "Big Brother" player
I've ever played with.
You two are two people I feel comfortable with.
Okay.
I really respect Janelle
as someone who's very dangerous in this game.
So I got to make sure I'm right there with her,
because if the wolves are closer to me,
they're a little bit easier to stab in the back.
Every day, like, I'm on someone,
and every day I'm getting one piece that's confirming that.
I'm not there yet, but I'm really close.
[ Music continues ] - I know Dan.
He's definitely lied to me before.
But fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
I feel like as a group,
like, we're getting a traitor tonight.
It's happening, so...
[ Dramatic music plays ]
The players are gathering for the fifth mission of the game.
Let's go double up on what we lost yesterday.
Mama needs a savings account. [ Laughs ]
This is a chance for both traitors and faithfuls
to work together and add up to $15,000 to the prize pot,
which currently stands at $65,500.
Good afternoon, players.
Today's mission is all about communication,
something you could all do better at.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
First, you need to split up into two groups.
Six of you will be playing in the grounds outside.
The rest of you will be playing inside my castle.
Before you decide, I must tell you something important.
[ Music continues ]
Only the players who choose to play outside can win a shield.
[ Music continues ]
I'm thinking for sure I need a shield today.
I have a couple of cards still to play, maybe,
but ultimately a shield would just relieve so much stress.
So, which six will be playing outside?
- Where do you guys want me? - I've never had a shield.
Yeah. I've never gotten a shield before.
I've been a team player for a long time,
sacrificing shields, so I want one.
I'm just gonna say this now.
You guys know that I've been on the chopping block
and no one is offering a shield because you've had one before.
It's a little sus, but... - Hey. You talk a lot.
I was one of the last people in. I've never had a shield.
I've never even gone for one.
I mean, you guys, it might be time for you
to be a little bit more selfless with the opportunity.
Splitting for teams for the mission is literally a dogfight.
Like, I'm gonna arm-wrestle you bitches.
It's happening.
I just feel like I'm getting closer and closer
to getting a traitor, and I absolutely need a shield.
I for sure need a shield.
I just want to go where I'm most useful.
If you guys want it that bad, I'll stay inside.
- I want one, but I'll step back. - I'm with you.
Okay. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six.
I am not going for a shield.
The shields aren't that important to me.
Let's get some money so I can take it all in the end.
Okay. So you six will be the bird-watching teams.
Everyone happy?
I'm totally disappointed that there's no shields in the house.
There should be shields in the house
for the people that hate to run, like me and Phaedra.
In this mission, you won't be working as one group.
You'll be working in pairs.
You will need to identify bird calls
that you hear in the grounds outside
and match them with replica modern birds
scattered inside the castle.
My castle crew, once you think you've identified it,
bring it to me.
Like Miriam here. This is how Miriam sounds.
[ Bird crowing ]
You only get one chance per birdcall.
Players outside, you will get maps
to locate the bird-nesting areas.
Marked on each map is the location
of the rare shield bird.
Any pair that decides to take time out from the mission
to find it and correctly identify it
will win two shields.
For both players, protection from murder tonight.
Birdwatchers, go to your first position.
The rest of you, come with me. - Whoo!
[ Dramatic music plays ] - All right!
Getting into this mission, I will need a shield,
because tonight, I'm putting my neck on the line
and putting a name out for a traitor.
Blue pair, are you ready?
- Ready! - Ready!
Green pair, are you ready?
[ Static hisses ] - You got it.
Red pair, are you ready?
- Ready! - Yeah, we're ready.
Okay. Everyone ready?
- Yeah! - Yes!
You have...20 minutes, starting...
[ Whistle squawks ]
Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
[ Music continues ] - We're here.
Let's go to the walled garden and get the shield.
This is where the shield is. So we can go up here.
The shrubs. Right there.
Get your binoculars ready.
At the bird-watching stand, we read a clue.
"Blow the whistles simultaneously
for three seconds."
And then we had to make a sound with a whistle.
[ Whistles squawking ]
And then we have to wait.
I mean, I know nothing about bird-watching.
I know that my gloves make me look like I'm a silky chicken,
but, uh, that's the extent of birds that I know of.
[ Bird squawking ]
"Maah!"
- Okay. Let me do it. - Okay.
It's Trishelle and Bergie, and we're at the shrub hut.
Hold for the bird call.
Copy. We're here at the shrub, waiting for the bird call.
Mwaah!
I'm not really an outdoorsy type of person, so this is new.
Mwaah!
- Repeat! - Waah!
- Once more. - Again?
Waah!
[ Mid-tempo music plays ]
- Raah! - Waah!
What's their location?
- Waah! - Waah!
Raah!
[ Group squawking in distance ]
Sounds like Janelle when she doesn't get a shield.
[ Bird trilling ] - No.
[ Bird lowing ] - Waah!
I mean, come on.
Run, John! Run!
[ Bird squawking ] - I found it!
On the fire-- fireplace. The gray bird.
Press him and see if that's it.
[ Bird squawks ]
That sounds like a squeaky door to me.
I'll be honest with you. These birds are ridiculous.
I don't know how they survived natural selection.
So tell us-- What is the name and where does it come from?
Squawky from the shrub.
I can tell you, players, that is...
correct! [ Group cheering ]
- Aah! - [ Laughing ]
Whoo-ooh!
Red, you're correct. You're good to go.
[ Up-tempo music plays ]
No. Look here. Right here.
We can get the shield and then come back here.
You don't think we should get the money?
I think we should get the shield first. Let's go.
The first thing I want to do is find that shield.
T-intersection. - Okay.
Go left. We look at the map,
and we realize we both suck at reading maps.
Are we reading this backwards? Are we really over there?
Is this it?
[ Music continues ]
We are definitely going for shields today.
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
I 100% need a shield, and so does Peter.
- This way. - What is this, Peter?
- Okay. - We have to get in it.
- Is this it? - It smells like...
- No, this isn't it. - ...horse sh...
[ Music continues ]
Today, the shield is definitely more important.
Like, the prize money doesn't matter to me if I'm not here.
So I'm gonna try to contribute,
but I'm going for the shields too.
It's got to be here, right? - Yeah.
- Why would it be down here? - Exactly.
We're in the walled garden.
[ Birds chirping ]
"Scatter seeds in the middle." Okay.
[ Music continues ] [ Whistles blowing ]
"Flap your wings. Bob your beak."
"And bob your beak." [ Laughs ]
Okay.
[ Bird whistling ]
It's Bergie and Trishelle. We're at the walled garden.
Here's the sound. [ Whistling ]
- Wild garden. Hold, please. - I'm going to the billiard room.
- Ooh-whit! Ooh-whit! - What?
- Ooh-whit! - Ooh-whit!
Thank you for calling Traitors 187.5.
We'll be right back following this message from our sponsor.
I just adore C.T. He is so silly.
So silly.
[ Bird calling ]
- That's not it. - That's not it.
[ Bird calling ]
Hey, I think I got it. I think I got it. Come here.
[ Bird calling ]
- That's it. - I got it.
- Just bring it. Just bring it. - Go, go, go.
- We're all good, right? - We got it. Just bring it.
What is the bird and where is it from?
- Squeaky from the walled garden. - Walled garden.
Correct.
We got it. We got it. We got it.
Hide it. - We got it.
Hide it in our pockets. Hide it in the pockets.
Holy hell. We have a shield. We have a shield.
Got to go north.
[ Bird calling ]
[ Music continues ]
Green team, green team.
Do you have anything for us?
We don't know. The map is misleading.
- Green team's lost. - Guys? Uh, Peter?
Janelle? What's going on?
Why is it taking so long to hear the bird sound?
- Is that it? - Mm, I don't think so.
No, Peter.
[ Music continues ] - We can't find the shield.
So we change our plan
and we just try to get to the first birdhouse.
It is super stressful.
Yeah. Let's just go down here. - There it is, right there.
- Yes! - Shh!
Yes. [ Laughs ]
Shh!
[ Whistles blowing ]
[ Bird barking ]
I got to say, you guys have
some strange-sounding birds here.
- What's the sound?! - It sounds like a dog.
Uh-arf! Uh-arf!
- Uh-huh-huh! - Rrf! Rrf!
It sounds like a dog, but it's not!
A dog?
John, what's the sound?
- [ Growls ] - Like a dog.
Similar.
You got to come up real close and be real quiet.
[ Bird barking ]
That's it. That's it. That's it. Come on.
- Alan! We got it! - What the heck?
This is chaos!
Now, tell me--
- Mrs. Beaks from the marshes. - From the marshes.
That is... correct! [ Group cheering ]
Good job. Good job, guys.
We have found your barking dog. You can move forward.
- Okay. Great! - Awesome!
Confirm. We're going to the next location.
[ Bird chirping ]
Janelle and Peter at the forest.
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
- We got that. - Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
[ Group chirping ] - Copy that.
It's like a laugh.
- Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! - Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
[ Dramatic music plays ]
I believe everyone that's out right now is a faithful.
The traitors, all of them are in the castle right now.
They're all gonna assume you and I are going for the shield.
Let them assume that. No one's going to say a word.
When we get back, let them actually stay protected.
We maximize our coverage of protection.
It's brilliant.
If they waste the murder,
that is the biggest one of the game so far.
I came up with a plan.
Everyone in the castle,
regardless if they're a traitor or a faithful,
is gonna assume that we would go for the shield.
Now we're able to create a much larger blanket of protection
for the faithful.
Peter is more than a pretty face.
He's actually really smart, too.
Okay, Peter. I'm trusting you.
- Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! - Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
I've never seen a housewife yodel before.
Gu-ughh!
[ Bird chirping ] - That's it. That's it.
- Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! - That's it.
Fluffy Pants from the forest.
I can tell you, players...
that is correct! [ Group cheering ]
Something I never thought I would see in my lifetime
is a former speaker of the House of Commons
saying to me, "Fluffy Pants from the forest."
Now I can die happy.
Fluffy Pants from forest is correct. Proceed.
- We got it. We got it. - We got it. Let's go. Let's go.
Only a few minutes left, players.
You're running out of time!
[ Bird droning ]
Uhhhhhh!
Almost like a scary movie.
- Aaah! - Aaah!
Two minutes left!
[ Beak rattling ]
[ Bird chirping ]
[ Birds droning ] - Guys, guys. Right here.
- Quickly, players! - Yeah, yeah. Definitely.
Run, John! Run! [ Indistinct shouting ]
Quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly!
Burnalicious. West lawn.
Correct!
[ Group cheering ] - Thank you.
- Aah! - Whoo!
Two out of two! - Two out of two!
[ Laughs ] We did that!
[ Birds crying, chirping ]
Yeah! All right! Let's go!
Bergie: We have a shield
Don't tell anybody.
- Great job! - Good job. Good job.
I was really bummed when I didn't get the shield,
but we have a plan that could protect all of us,
at least for one more night.
We have a plan with the shield
Just say you're not willing to reveal any information
- Way to go. - We were waiting for you guys.
- So good. - Yeah.
Good job, Janelle.
Don't reveal any information
What?
We're not revealing any information
Whoo!
Well, players, this castle has heard
some high-pitched shrieks in its time--
a few from me-- but that was next level.
Out of a possible $15,000,
you have managed to bank... $10,000!
[ Group cheering ]
Respectable. Respectable.
Bringing the prize pot total up to $75,500!
[ Group cheering ]
So, five birds have been found, including the shield bird.
All right. Congratulations.
Does anyone want to reveal if they won a shield?
[ Dramatic music plays ]
I have something to say.
In the best interest of the faithfuls,
we are not willing to reveal any information.
[ Music continues ]
And you've all decided that, all three colors?
Well, a tactical decision.
The fact that they're not revealing a shield
makes it very difficult on us as traitors
to pick someone to murder.
But Janelle is being selfish, and I know
that that's gonna help me as a traitor in this game,
because no one likes a selfish faithful,
and that could get Janelle in trouble.
[ Down-tempo music plays ]
[ Bird cawing ]
Bergie, come here.
Just don't say anything about the mission.
Because they're gonna try to ask you something.
They're gonna come after you, try to get information.
Don't say a word.
And Kevin needs to shut up too
and Shereé you can't control her, but...
Kevin will have the shield
No?
We do
Oh you do?
Yes.
Okay, perfect
[ Dramatic music plays ]
I have developed some really good trust
with Trishelle and Bergie.
I think that Bergie is the next target for murder.
So my plan right now is a trap
that I'm hoping the traitors walk right into.
You wanna talk?
Yeah
I'm telling a little white lie right now
to suspects I have of being traitors
that Janelle and I got the shield, even though we don't.
We got it, but don't repeat that to anybody.
I am hoping that they believe me so that they instead decide
to take out Bergie or Trishelle.
Between us okay?
Because I'm trying to only reveal this
to people that
I trust
Janelle and I got it
We got the shield
but don't tell anyone that
Okay. They'd walk into a trap.
The murder gets blocked.
A ton of information is revealed.
That's best-case scenario.
Obviously taking a chance right now
Please keep this between you and me
- Yeah. - Okay.
Janelle and I have the shield
But do not repeat that to anybody
No I won't say a word
This will feel really good if, uh, if this plan works.
[ Music continues ]
I think we all need to just collectively talk as faithfuls
and as a group who we think is a traitor.
I feel like yesterday was a distraction.
Dan, he's not giving me anything.
- Right. - So obvious he's a traitor.
- And you know Dan. - Yeah.
But why? He hasn't done anything.
Facts are Janelle's been behind every banishment.
So I think Janelle is a perfect traitor.
And if she's not, then she's a sloppy faithful
and getting rid of her will make more room
for more logical choices for us to get the real traitors.
Here's the deal-- If I'm throwing out ideas
and trying to identify a traitor, I'm being a faithful.
So someone that's a traitor is never gonna try
and figure out who a traitor is
'cause they already know the answer.
They don't have to do anything.
All they have to do is sit back.
We all need to agree on someone.
You know, the last time I did this, last night...
- I know. - ...I went with Larsa.
- I know. - Now we're going with Dan.
So I just don't feel good. - I didn't say we have to.
I've suspected Dan. He's super quiet.
But, uh, Janelle has gotten her hands dirty,
and she has been pretty cutthroat
when she accuses other people.
Could that be implicating that she's a traitor?
I want to talk to you really quick.
- Okay. - So...
Girl. Girl, girl, girl.
So I don't-- What's going on?
Um-- Oh, my God. You guys, where can we go that's alone?
- Come on. - Right here.
Anybody in here? No. Close the door.
[ Door closes ]
Janelle is gunning for you. - For me?
- Yes. - For what reason?
- I thought that was your girl. - Wait.
Hold on. Janelle is gunning hard.
She's trying to get us to vote for Dan.
But why? What's the reason?
She's saying that you're never giving your opinion
and you're always saying you're saving it.
That's what she said. - Because I don't know!
- Okay. Fine. - No, no. I'm not mad at you.
No, no, no. I'm saying-- I know.
But I'm saying, like, the clock is ticking.
This is my first time getting heat in this game
from someone who's very dangerous
and is very capable of getting me banished tonight.
I have to try and capitalize on using this information
to steer votes away from me.
To throw my name for no reason?
This is the same thing that happened against Larsa.
Now it's me. - So many red flags.
You guys, she is so convinced that she's convinced us,
and it smells like shit.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Dan: They're coming after me
Parvati: Who's coming after you?
Janelle?
Coming after you?
Yeah
What?
We got to take out Janelle.
I know
How did that happen? - I don't know.
'Cause I don't say any names. - What happened?
[ Music builds, ends ]
[ Wolf howls ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
The round tables so far have been a disaster
for the faithful.
But will the tables turn?
Tonight is like no other.
[ Music continues ]
This game started with one player missing.
Twenty-one of you-- for now.
But who knows what the future holds?
[ Music continues ]
And now... they are finally here to play.
[ Music continues ]
Someone is about to hit that round table
like a Highland wrecking ball.
[ Music continues ]
[ Chuckles ]
Ah! Let the games commence.
[ Music continues ]
[ Music builds, ends ]
[ Hinges squeaking ]
[ Music continues ]
Well. I'm back.
Did you miss me?
[ Music continues ] [ Sighs ]
This is probably a love letter from Alan.
I think he's obsessed with me.
"Dear Kate, you are a faithful."
I'm a little disappointed that I'm not a traitor this time
because I really want to see the turret,
and I really want a special coat, you know?
The hood, but it's velvet.
And also, I'd like the power to get rid of people I don't like.
Just like, "Let's get rid of that one.
She ate all the croissants at breakfast. Murder her."
I'm just gonna have a good time
and [bleep] up some shit, you know?
[ Music ends ]
[ Down-tempo music plays ]
♪ He was a dead man walking to his fate ♪
♪ Vengeance was sweet on my tongue ♪
Walking into this round table, I don't feel good at all.
Although I am heavily targeted as a traitor,
I'm not out of this thing.
I do my best work when my back's against the wall,
and I have a few tricks planned up my sleeve now.
[ Music continues ]
I know Dan's a traitor.
He is the best "Big Brother" player
that I've ever played with.
But I am 100% here to win.
Dan's got it coming. I'm sorry.
[ Music continues ]
Players, welcome to the round table,
one I am certain you will never forget.
Your numbers are dwindling. Four players have been murdered.
Three have been banished, all of them faithful.
You need to find the traitors.
The prize pot currently stands at a cool $75,500.
But remember, if any traitors remain at the end of this game,
then they will take it all.
Oh, and one little thing I forgot to mention.
[ Music builds, continues ]
Players... there's a new guest in my castle.
- [ Gasps ] - Oh.
[ Music continues ]
Tonight, a tsunami is headed to our little Highland hideaway.
One more player into the breach, dear friends...
one more player into this game of death!
Oh, my God.
Who's this? [ Music builds ]
[ Music ends ] - Oh, my God!
Oh, my God! Kate!
[ Laughter ] - Shit!
- Well done. - Okay!
- Hi, Alan. - Kate.
Players, meet Kate...
our new... ish player
who has been secretly waiting in the wings
and has now finally arrived to play my game
and could be a faithful or a traitor.
Oh, my gosh.
[ Music continues ]
I'm sure the players have a preconceived notion about me,
either that I'm a bitchy person or a wild, unpredictable person.
And all those things are true.
Please take your rightful seat at the round table.
- Thank you. - We've kept it warm for you.
Coming into the game late,
they've already been playing the game,
bonds have been formed.
I'm just wondering, on a scale of 1 to 10,
how much they're gonna hate me.
I guess I'm about to find out.
Players, Kate will have a vote at this table...
[ Down-tempo music plays ]
...so you'd better make your arguments convincing.
[ Music continues ]
- Welcome, Kate. - Thank you.
Tell me everything. Who do we hate?
Um... [ Laughter ]
I'd like to state my case without being interrupted,
if that's okay.
This group has a tendency to talk over each other,
interrupt without listening.
So just to let you know. Heads up.
I'm about to put the name of Janelle on the table
as a traitor today.
[ Music continues ]
Janelle, you've had a pattern of bringing up names
and they've been banished,
and it seems that it's always a morning discussion
of Janelle being a traitor.
And then somehow it turns out
that she's able to rally people up in the evening
to shift on another person.
Ekin-Su was just murdered,
and she was very adamant about you as well.
[ Music continues ] Other people were,
and I'm just trying to bring this to the table.
I'm honestly not this mastermind
that you think I am, Kevin.
Yes, I've been seriously wrong in this game,
but I'm not a traitor.
I just want to say if I was a traitor,
I would not be throwing out names like Janelle was.
If you're yelling out names and you're always incorrect,
people would want to banish you,
just like this scenario right here.
She creates a lot of chaos,
and I think the traitors like that,
and that's why she's still here.
Who do you think are traitors?
Okay. I think Dan is a traitor.
C.T., you are acting so strange.
I think you're either working with a traitor
or you're a traitor. - I'm a traitor again?
And, Sandra, you're a traitor, okay?
Jesus Christ.
[ Music continues ]
It's weird to me that all these days,
we've always been in sync, and then, as of today,
you came in here saying that it's between me and Dan and,
I don't know, this, that, and the third.
Like, what kind of crap is that?
Sandra, who do you think are traitors?
I-I gave Janelle the benefit of the doubt,
but I think she's a traitor.
Since we've been here, I've done everything you asked for.
And now, all of a sudden, you get some heat on you
you're just gonna throw me under the bus.
I just wanted to say at this stage
that Janelle has got tremendous ability.
She can see the others around her,
and without boasting, she can make an assessment
that she's well placed to succeed.
And do I hold that against her? I don't.
So, John, who do you think is?
Well, I told you last night I thought you were a traitor.
[ Dramatic music plays ] - You still think so?
Yes. I think that your conduct is the conduct of somebody
who shifts from one persona to another very suddenly.
Janelle is consistent in her manner,
and I have found you inconsistent.
I felt there was a hypocrisy...
What's his name, the one talking?
Kevin
...that you were judging me-- Kate, could you listen?
Yeah. I got it. You think Janelle's a traitor. Got it.
No, no. See? You weren't listening.
I said-- I'm talking to John right now.
Well, I think you were talking to the table.
Yes, but I was referring to what John was saying.
All right.
He didn't want to be accused for being so good at this game
because he's a politician.
He's accusing me now, because I'm an actor,
that of course I have to be a traitor.
[ Music continues ]
Are there any other names that anybody's thinking of?
[ Sighs ] I hate it, 'cause we're close.
But there's got to be at least one guy in the traitors.
And if I look at all the guys that are left,
I do feel like you for sure have contributed the least.
Okay.
And that is kind of a red flag for me.
Um, Kate-- and I know you don't know me--
I like to hear evidence and reasons why and--
You also win everything.
But I don't take it personal. So you think I'm a traitor.
Like, I'd love to hear the reasons why and things I've done
that makes you feel like I've-- - You literally--
When I come to you and I say, "Give me a name.
Like, who do you think is a traitor?"...
Yeah. ...you give me nothing.
Why? - No. That's a great question.
The way I'm playing this game is the way I play "Big Brother,"
and that's I pick one-- - And you won "Big Brother."
[ Music continues ]
And I can use those skills to help the faithful.
I learn a few people and I put 1,000% trust in them.
And then sitting back and then waiting to see
who the traitors are-- - You've done nothing.
All you do is sit back... - Okay.
...and don't say a name and you do nothing and just--
So doing nothing means I'm a traitor.
- I just want... - Yeah.
You're not acting like a faithful.
- I understand. - You're acting like a traitor.
I feel like we all, a certain amount of time,
have stuck our necks out there.
My only issue with you... - Mm-hmm.
...is that you don't talk game with anybody.
You don't throw out names.
So you're not a good faithful right now
'cause you're not helping the group.
Like, I will never say the people I think are 100% faithful
because it puts a target on them
for the traitors that are listening.
I put a target on myself too. I mean, like, we--
I have the biggest target in here, I feel like.
That's why I talk too much. I'm [bleep] loud. I'm annoying.
I know. Yes, I was wrong, but I'm a faithful.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Dan, who do you think is a traitor?
[ Music continues ]
One name at least.
[ Music builds ]
I'm saying Janelle.
I think I've been blinded by my friendship with Janelle.
The thing that I have an issue with
is that we can't pin all these banishments on one person,
but you've led the charge on more than anyone else.
You've taken two or three shots and missed.
And I've defended her, and I shouldn't have done that,
but that's my fault.
And I can't trust you anymore.
I can't move forward with you in this game.
Players, time for talk is over.
It's now time to vote.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
I knew Janelle was gonna come after me.
I didn't know she was gonna come after me
with everything she had.
She is not leaving anything off the table.
I know I'm in a lot of trouble.
[ Music continues ]
I mean, listen, Dan.
Don't poke the bear.
Dan's name is on the chopping block.
So whatever, Dan.
[ Music continues ]
I love a round table.
I love the communication. I love the drama.
I love talking shit.
[ Music builds ]
The votes are locked.
We're going to start the vote with M.J.
Who do you think is a traitor and why?
[ Music continues ]
Janelle, I voted for you
because I thought the red flags were...
just so crazy to avoid.
I had to go with that.
[ Music continues ]
Phaedra, who do you think is a traitor?
Tonight was probably one of the hardest votes...
because I do love you, Janelle.
However...
unfortunately, tonight I voted you.
I hope we can still be friends. - I'm sure.
Sandra.
Janelle.
I think you were the last faithful recruited,
and I think that's why you changed up on us.
[ Music continues ]
That's why I think you're a traitor.
Spoken like a true traitor.
Yeah. Drink that water. You're nervous, aren't you?
- No. My mouth is dry. - Yeah. Okay. Okay, Sandra.
- You're a traitor. - You're a [bleep] traitor.
You're a [bleep] traitor.
- You're a traitor, bitch. - Please.
You're the biggest [bleep] traitor here...
- Whatever. Okay. - ...so [bleep] off.
- Ooh. - You [bleep] off.
[ Music continues ]
Peter.
Dan, I'm sorry, man. [ Sighs ]
John.
With sadness, I voted for you, Dan.
Janelle, who do you think is a traitor and why?
I voted for you, Dan.
You are the most strategic player in "Big Brother" history.
You've got the chops to be a traitor.
[ Music continues ]
So that's three votes for Janelle and three votes for Dan.
Parvati.
I voted for Janelle.
Um, in the previous banishments,
you were certain about who's a faithful and who's a traitor,
and you were so off, so I just think
that we are being guided in the wrong direction
by someone who knows some things that we don't know.
Kevin.
Janelle. [ Music continues ]
Trishelle.
Um, Dan, I voted for you.
[ Music continues ]
So that's five votes for Janelle and four votes for Dan.
Dan.
I voted for Janelle.
My reasons in this game
is that I think you're one of two things--
You're either a traitor
or you're a faithful that I can't trust anymore.
Nothing personal.
C.T., who do you think is a traitor and why?
[ Music builds ]
Janelle. I just, uh, I can't trust you.
So that's seven votes for Janelle...
and four votes for Dan.
Janelle, if you receive one more vote,
you will have the majority,
and you will be banished from my castle.
[ Music continues ]
Shereé.
[ Music builds ]
Janelle, if you receive one more vote,
you will have the majority,
and you will be banished from my castle.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Shereé
[ Music builds ]
Janelle, if you are a faithful,
you're just not a trustworthy faithful.
[ Music continues ]
Janelle, you have received the most votes
and are banished from the game.
But first, will the remaining players
please reveal their votes?
Bergie.
Dan, I voted for you.
I do find it absolutely incredible
that Janelle is your number one
and that's all you've come up with
this whole time, which I find highly suspicious.
And we end with Kate.
One thing I did pick up from "Big Brother"
is that you vote with the group at first.
So, Janelle, I had to pick a name.
That's fine.
Janelle, please come forward to the circle of truth.
[ Mid-tempo music plays ]
[ Music continues ]
Janelle, before you leave my castle forever...
...please reveal to us-- Are you a faithful or a traitor?
[ Music continues ]
You guys, much like "Big Brother,"
I played a very competitive game.
But just like in "Big Brother," I was loyal...
[ Music continues ]
...and I was honest.
I'm a faithful, you idiots!
[ Down-tempo music plays ]
Good job, guys. Good job.
You guys are trusting the traitors.
I went by her actions.
I didn't go by anything else but her actions.
Yeah, obviously.
Wow.
For some people.
[ Music continues ]
Faithful, to play this game,
one must treat it like a game of chess.
Have you heard of the game chess?
Well, you've just sacrificed a piece.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Was that a fool's gambit?
And a new queen has arrived.
Will she be valuable?
Time will tell.
Tonight, though, the traitors make their move.
And for one of you, it will be checkmate.
Sleep well.
Bravo.
This was my first mistake. I mean, I didn't-- I didn't...
No. M.J., I led you down that route.
This is my mistake. - I just want you guys--
If you wrote my name down, I-I understand.
It's all good.
[Bleep]
[ Music continues ]
The traitor did so well tonight on convincing
the other faithfuls in the room that Janelle was a traitor.
You know what? We're gonna find these traitors for Janelle.
- How you doing? All right? - I'm good.
I mean, I'm just sad. She was my friend.
I just dodged a bullet by diverting votes away from me,
onto Janelle.
I've won a season of "Big Brother."
I resurrected from my own funeral.
And that round table was harder
than both of those things combined.
- Dan, please speak up. - I know. I will.
- I mean, look. - Do you have an idea yet?
- Or anything? - I do.
If I survive tonight and get here in the morning,
I will take my shot tomorrow.
You got one shot tomorrow.
Your name is on my chalkboard right now until you pull--
- It's in pencil. - Yeah.
It's already on my chalkboard.
I would love to see the look on your faces
if I'm murdered tonight.
You know what I mean?
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Hi. Do you like me again?
- I always have. When did I stop? - Mm-hmm.
What do you mean, like you again?
Silly Billy from Philly... - I don't know. Mad at you.
...and Manilli with a pocket full of chili.
Does anyone want wine? Anything?
- I'm okay. - I'm good. Thanks, Parvati.
Okay. I'm so bummed I didn't get to meet Ekin-Su.
What happened there?
She was poisoned and put in a casket.
The traitors gave her a slow poison of some sort,
so she slowly died.
I'm a little bit surprised they're not doing better.
And they're all looking at me like, "Please help us.
We haven't got any traitors out. We suck. Please help us."
I'm just trying to stifle laughter.
This is comedy.
I'm not taking any wine from Parvati that she just offered.
- Oh! - Pour your own cup!
Pour your own cup. - Pour your own cup.
Jesus.
[ Laughs ] - Are we safe around here?
Just so you know...
- Yeah. - ...we're good with you.
I told C.T., I told Parvati...
and I told Dan,
in confidence, all very secretly
that I got the shield with Janelle.
It was to give a huge cover of protection
for more than just two people. - Okay.
Who has the shield is Bergie and Trishelle.
We're gonna learn so much... - If he goes for one of you.
So if they murder-- I told only three people,
and three of those are my suspects.
Well, that's a very clever thing to do.
And it's blocked because they actually are protected.
It's one of those three for sure, which we already think,
but now it confirms it. - Wow.
I would love-- love-- to sit there in breakfast
and watch the traitors walk in,
realizing that they had their murder blocked
'cause they fell into the trap.
Did they teach you this in pilot school?
[ Laughter ]
[ Down-tempo music plays ]
[ Clock ticking ]
So, what's Janelle's room like? Was it a big one? Hello?
Oh, you're taking Janelle's room?
Well, why wouldn't I? She's gone.
[ Music continues ]
I let Phaedra and Parvati have the last two murders.
Now I'm going from complete defensive mode
to 100% aggressive mode.
I've really got to persuade them to allow me to murder
whoever I need to tonight.
[ Music continues ] - ♪ Are you on my side? ♪
♪ Are you part of my tribe? ♪
♪ Never say die ♪
Ooh, traitors!
We're not doing very well, are we?
That was a rough day for us. [ Laughter ]
I'm surprised to be here, but...
- Oh, my God. That was... - ...I'm here.
...very scary.
You have got to be ready because you're still in the hot seat.
Yeah. That's something I think I can fix by being more vocal--
But your vocal has to make sense.
It can't be "I'm gonna wait until I'm for sure."
That's not making sense.
Who are you gonna put out as a name to be more vocal?
Yeah. I mean, I'm gonna-- I'm gonna sleep on it tonight.
Oh, my God. You're doing it to us.
Dan, you're already doing it.
How do you not know? It ain't but two people left.
[ Laughs ]
Get your suit ready, 'cause if you play like this,
I'm gonna be embalming you myself.
Get it together.
Is this the round table or is this the traitors' turn?
We're just giving you some mild encouragement.
It's not my first rodeo. I'll leave it at that.
Well, honey, don't act like it,
because they know it's not your first rodeo.
I'm with you.
We have a little issue tonight. - What?
Do you guys have any inkling as to who has the shields?
Okay. Peter told me after the challenge--
and it was just me and Peter--
and he said that he and Janelle had the shield.
But he was like, "I'm telling you this in confidence."
- He told me that too. - So he's lying, then.
Why would he tell you?
He must be lying and trying to sniff us out.
We should murder someone who was not out there.
- See, I just, I mean... - Or do you trust Peter?
Um, I don't think he's that savvy.
But I think to be safe,
we need to pick somebody who wasn't in that group today.
But who?
[ Dramatic music plays ]
I mean, I'm gonna tell you. I need this murder.
And it's rolling the dice, but we have to take out Bergie.
He said there's no way he's not gonna write my name down.
Oh.
[ Music continues ]
I know that you're tight with them,
but I think Sandra's a waste. M.J.'s a waste.
Maybe John.
I would rather roll the dice on Bergie.
On Bergie.
Even though John voted for you tonight?
- Yeah. I mean, like... - I mean, he's very calculating.
I don't know if he'll vote for you again
if you have the correct conversation
and interaction with him.
So the choices are either we play it safe,
get John, Sandra or M.J.--
which I think are all a waste of murders--
or we roll the dice on Bergie.
[ Music continues ]
I mean, you know, I love him to death.
That's my Burgalicious.
I'm a little nervous about this murder.
I feel very confident Bergie doesn't have a shield.
This murder is either gonna win me the game
or it's gonna lose me the entire thing.
[ Music continues ]
I can't believe I'm agreeing to this murder.
I mean, at the end of the day, I'm a team player,
and so if that's the consensus...
let the chips fall where they may.
[ Music builds, ends ]
Next week on "The Traitors"...
Since day one... I have been watching one person.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
And it's time for that to come out.
[ Music builds, ends ]
