Previously on "The Traitors"...
Aah!
...the players took on a mission from hell.
- Oh, maggots! - Oh, Jesus.
That is [bleep] up!
The faithful laid another trap for the traitors.
It’s a shield.
- I got it. - Trishelle, keep it secret.
Don’t tell anybody.
And Phaedra and Parvati came under fire...
- Why? - I have, like, a million reasons.
Your eye starts to freak out a little bit.
I’ve never heard anybody say that.
I feel Parvati could well be a mistress of murder.
I had a conversation with Parvati
that completely shifted my view.
You’ve changed your mind about Parvati,
who you were so passionate about.
...before another traitor was banished.
I am not...
a faithful. I’m a traitor.
Tonight, you must select one faithful
and offer them an ultimatum...
...join you or die.
Who would you like to issue this ultimatum to?
Kate.
But will Kate switch to the dark side?
♪ When the darkness falls ♪
♪ I come alive ♪
I hate this place.
What the
♪ Welcome to your nightmare ♪
You sly fox.
Hello, Kate.
Tonight, I have an ultimatum for you.
Join me as a traitor,
or else I will have to murder you.
You’re smart. You’re clever.
I think you’ll make a crazy-cool killer with me.
So what is your answer?
I accept.
Awesome.
Great choice.
I didn’t want to leave you here to die.
I mean, she’s not really giving me a choice here.
But I do love a dramatic cloak.
And I do love a VIP club. And I do love knowing secrets.
So I guess I’m a traitor now. It might be fun.
Follow me, because we’ve got to murder someone.
Who?
♪ Playing with your fate like it's just a game ♪
Only thing that’s surprising me right now,
it’s just Phaedra as the only traitor left.
I’m kind of, like, disappointed.

So you've spent a lot of time up here.
Yes, I’ve been here quite a bit.
This is my home away from home, my penthouse.
- I love it. - Thanks.
Was it just you, Dan, and Parvati the whole time?
- Yes. - Who was recruited? You?
- Parvati. - No!
It started you and Dan? - Oh, God, yeah.
It was like eating dry melba toast with no butter,
no jam, no nothing. - That is totally the vibe I got.
- Totally the vibe. - Uh-huh.
So what is our strategy going forward?
You don’t have a plan? I just got here.
You’ve been a traitor for a while now, the whole time.
Well, what do you think?
Well, um, Kevin’s pretty annoying sometimes.
Kevin.
It could look a little bit suspicious,
since he did vote for me tonight
and had his brilliant eye-twitching argument.
Oh, I want to murder him just for that.
Me too. But he’s a follower, and he’s following a dictator--
Peter.
I know.
Peter puts the dick in dictator.
All the bullshit he pulled tonight.
Like, that was so crazy.
He thought he was so clever.
- Yeah, we got to get rid of him. - He’s not as smart as he thinks.
But we gotta make sure we don’t misfire,
because if they have a shield, it’ll be another Bergie.
Peter-- I think he might have the shield.
He’s always gunning for the shield.
So... - What about Trishelle?
Hmm.
She was made a fool tonight at the round table,
and she’s like, "But I still have my bullet points."
Oh, my God, throw your notebook away...
- Yeah. - ...with your little funny hats.
Now she’s going to have a vendetta.
She wants to prove her point. - Yeah.
So is it Trishelle or Kevin?
They deserve it.
- Natural-born killer. I love it. - I mean...
- Yeah. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. - Yeah.
- Okay. Let’s do it. - This is the best thing I’ve done
since I’ve been in the castle.
The turret definitely suits Kate.
She appears to be right at home,
so I am glad she is feeling very comfortable in her surroundings.
Signed, sealed, delivered. You’re dead.
This is fun. - Let’s go.
Hoods up. - Okay.
The first day on the job is always the worst.
You’re learning everything. - I think you're great.
We’re going to be a killing duo.
It’s only my first murder.
I just became a traitor five minutes ago.
But I feel like I’m going to be good at this.
I will burn this castle to the ground.
With the traitors now a diabolical duo,
they have committed their sixth murder.
This morning, surviving players are heading to breakfast.
But one player won’t make it,
and only the traitors know who that is.
- We’re first. Oh. - Oh.
Here we were about to make a grand entrance.
I have just woken up a traitor, and I am not prepared for this.
I’m not a good liar. Definitely don’t like lying to my friends.
So peaceful. - I've never been first to breakfast.
It’s nice. The only way I’m going to get through this
is to remain in my truth--
I’m still a faithful.
Peter is a traitor still to the faithfuls. He lied.
You know what’s weird? That we caught a traitor
but nobody was happy and celebrating,
like when we caught Dan. - You said that.
And again, here’s Peter
cutting deals with people that are traitors.
And then he took me in the kitchen afterwards,
and he was like, "Listen, I knew Parvati was a traitor.
You’re on to me." I don’t love that.
- Was that knock? - Yeah.
- Hey! - Come and have a seat. - Thank you
to the powers that be for giving me another day. - We're happy to see you.
- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Peter-- he’s a liar.
Yeah. Kate, you called it when you called him out and said,
"Wait, so one minute it’s 100% Parvati,
the next minute, he was protecting Parvati."
And then she ends up being a traitor.
I just think your credibility just goes out the window at that point.
I don’t believe anything.
He’s playing the game. It’s no hard feelings.
But doing too much.
Peter-- he’s rubbing me the wrong way.
He doesn’t listen to anybody else, and he’s not consistent.
He’s all over the place. He’s always hiding in the dark.
Smoke and mirrors, the politricks, the booby traps.
And it’s one thing to think like a traitor,
but it’s another thing to play like a traitor.
Come in.
- Hey. Oh! - Oh! Good morning.
I was not expecting to be here. It’s great to see you guys.
- Yay! - Yay! - M.J.!
- Hi. Hi. - Good morning. - Hi.
This game is getting to me.
I am extremely shocked to still be alive,
but I’m definitely very grateful to be here.
I am just hoping to see, like, my team-- Trishelle,
John, and Kevin-- walk through those doors.
Wow. Okay. Another day.
- Um, are you good? - Pardon?
There’s, like, something amiss.
Yeah, I'm good.
M.J., stop calling me out.
Okay. Because the light in Kate’s face
is not totally there. - Yeah, I'm good.
Shut up, M.J.
I’m tired. Give me the coffee. Get off my back.
I’m freaking out. I have got to get my shit together.
I am a faithful. Peter is a traitor.
I am a faithful.
This is why I don’t smoke marijuana.
I get paranoid, and I think everything I say is, like, wrong.
"Pass the eggs." I’m like, "Did I say that like a traitor,
or did I say that like a faithful?"
If I were still a faithful, would I be eating the salmon?
I don’t know.
- Oh! - We made it.
I’m feeling so good walking into breakfast this morning
because I’m happy to have made it this far.
But it’s getting down to the wire.
Like, we have work to do.
So John, Phaedra, Trishelle, Kevin?
Uh-oh.
That’s a girl knock.
- Yay! - Good morning.
Wow!
- Good morning. - Good morning. - What a pretty outfit.
Mwah, mwah, mwah.
- Morning. Morning. - Morning. Morning, Mr. Bercow.
- We good? - You say what?
Are we good?
- Yes. Let’s not fight today. - Okay. Good.
Yesterday was a lot. Phew.
Hello, babies. Hello. - Good morning.
But I’m glad I’ve got Kate on board.
She has played the game before,
so she’s an asset, and people really trust her.
All right, Phaedra, if we’re gonna work together now,
who do we think?
I don’t know.
- So it’s got to be between Kevin and Trishelle. - Yeah.
How are you feeling about that? You were at five a couple--
Gonna just keep taking the-- taking the crew down.
Down to three? Are we down to two?
Well, I know that Trishelle has a shield.
Right now, I’m just praying that both Trishelle and Kevin walk in
and we’ve successfully avoided any murders from last night.
I mean, I hate to say it, but I think Trishelle would get murdered.
If there has been a murder, it will be Kevin who’s murdered.
I think so, too.
But why would you think Kevin?
But we don’t know who found the shield,
so we have no idea who’s protected.
I see it. Yeah, I got it.
Trishelle, keep it secret. Don’t tell anybody.
John, do not tell anyone who has the shield.
I agree. We don’t know at this stage.
Collectively, we don’t know.
Oh, you guys.
What?
- Good morning. - Hi. Welcome.
- Don’t be so excited to see me. - Congratulations.
- Ah, boy, it’s Kevin. - Yeah.
- Oh, wow. - That's sus.
Kevin has to die.
We break down that... gang.
- It’s going to send Peter for a tailspin. - I love it.
I want to spin that tail. - Uh-huh.
I want to see him break like a little toy plane.
Uh-huh. Yeah.
Oh, no.
"Dear Kevin, by order of the traitors,
you’ve been murdered.
Signed, the traitors."
With the highs does come with the lows...
and sometimes a murder letter.
Do I get to keep this?
- Kevin. - Kevin. - Kevin.
- That’s it? - Yeah. Did you have a shield?
I did, but only a few people knew that I had a shield,
which is interesting.
Aye, yi, yi. Too many good friends.
I can’t believe we could have murdered someone with a shield.
I haven’t had time to process my shift from faithful to traitor.
So I’m not thinking with a traitor mind yet.
It's smoked salmon. Ooh, that’ll be good.
You’ve been a traitor this whole time.
Get your shit together, Phaedra.
Good morning, my Machiavellian mob.
And what a morning it is.
Peter, bring Kevin to me.
Oh.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Oh, Kevin, up in heaven.
Whenever the lark glistens in the moonlight,
I will see your face.
Whenever the majestic stag bellows in the forest,
I will hear your voice.
Not really.
Now, for the rest of you, the show must go on.
Finish your macchiatos
and meet me at the castle church for your mission.
And don’t be late, or I’ll be cross.
May your God go with you.
- And also with you. - Mm.
John, you got a few words for, uh, Kevin?
Hey, bless him.
Oh, my God.
The one time. The one time, John, huh?
We have less people now.
And my close friends are unfortunately gone.
And we keep taking blow after blow. None of that side,
you know, the other group, if you want to call it
the "other side of the house," is getting any smaller.
I hate losing, and today I am feeling like
there is a really, really good chance of that.
I could use a coffee. You want to make a coffee?
- Yeah. Let’s go. - Make some coffee.
- Can I come in here with you guys? - Of course.
- Mm-hmm. - Do you like this better than "Bachelor"?
- Oh, yeah. - Really?
This is more fun than having 25 women beg for your affection?
You would think that’s, like, a guy’s dream, but that-- this is stressful.
That’s, like, a billion times more stressful.
Okay, so what do y’all think the Kevin murder says? Anything?
I just think Peter, he’s just looking real sus, suspect.
Every traitor that we found out,
he’s had some dealings to the point
where they feel compelled to say--
"Can I say something, or are you going to talk?
No, you can talk."
Obviously, my name is out there. You can’t unring a bell.
But the goal is is we’ve got to break up that alliance.
So we’ve got to, you know, start with the top,
the leader, which is Peter.
Once we get rid of Peter, the rest of them will scatter.
So if you’re always holding something, telling people different things,
creating confusion, no one knows what’s what.
Accusing-- Just protecting traitors blatantly.
It’s just I-- I don’t know if that says he’s a traitor,
but the only thing I got at this point.
Because who else could it be?
Peter didn’t want to get murdered.
So that’s why he was, like, doing a thing,
picking a fight with Parvati, basically.
- Eh... - Eh...
Maybe it’s time to just, you know, be open-minded
about Pete a little bit, that’s all.
I love C.T., and I really, really trust him in this game,
but kind of, like, who do I trust, like, Peter or C.T.?
I don’t know. I don’t think Peter would lie to that many people.
Good talk, guys. All right. - Later.
I really believe that Peter is a faithful.
So I kind of want to stick to my guns on this one.
So do you think we’re doomed? Yes.
I don’t want to say anything because they already think
I keep gunning for him.
But Peter, the behavior is consistent with traitor.
You had a deal with Dan. You had a deal with Parvati.
That’s sus. That’s traitor behavior.
- Yeah. - Yeah. I would love to know
that conversation that he and Dan had.
Yeah.
I like Peter, but he’s being this person
who’s very influential, creating these alliances,
making up fake fights and fake stories.
It’s almost like the boy that cried wolf.
You’ve told so many lies or created so much chaos
that nobody’s going to believe you
when you are telling the truth.
Peter?
- Oh, banishment? - Uh, yeah.
All right, we know what we have to do.
At round table, you have to construct a majority,
so you have to go around lobbying for support.
Oh, it’s far more stressful than a parliamentary session.
- Want to talk? - Sure. Sure.
Did I ask you, like, where you’re leaning
for your vote right now, or no? - Uh, honestly, you.
You’re leaning towards me?
- Yeah. - Oh, God.
I just don’t believe anything you say, man.
- What do you mean? - All the smoke and mirrors,
the politricks and the booby traps.
- Oh, boy. - And you’re not consistent at all.
- Dude, that’s my strategy. - Everything’s a part of your master plan.
But then the next morning, you wake up, you don’t know what’s going on.
Dude, we’ve gotten two traitors out.
We got a blocked shield from this.
What are you talking about?
You don’t have to like how I’m playing. - Sure.
But everyone can play a different way.
- Of course. - This is the way I’ve decided.
And I’m going to stay that way. This is how I’m doing it. - Okay.
Just, you asked me a question,
and I told you where-- you asked me where I was leaning.
Dude, I promise you,
you’re gonna waste this.
But who else is there? Back to Phaedra?
I mean, that's my only thing-- at least you’re consistent about that.
Today is so damn frustrating. Oh, my God.
It just seems like now, instead of actually trying to win this game,
we're just dealing with distraction after distraction.
We have four wins that have come from that.
Why are you mad about that? - I’m not going to play a game with the traitors.
I’m not going to try to cut a deal with them.
Yes, I am playing aggressive. I’m going to fight like hell
to make sure these faithfuls win the game.
But you can’t control what people think.
Ay, yi, yi.
It’s so frustrating.
Time in my castle is quickly running out,
and if the traitors can remain undetected in the game
until the very end,
they will take home the entire prize fund.
But for now, faithful and traitors
will work together to build that fund.
- A church. - Phaedra's favorite place.
Right.
If we have to go into a chapel,
are you going to be okay? - Yeah.
I just won’t sit in the front row, you know?
Oh, my God.
When was the last time you were in a church?
- Uh, Sunday. - Me too.
For a funeral.
Of course my first day as a traitor we are going to church.
Lightning is going to strike me down.
Not because I’m a whore. Because I’m a traitor.
Oh.
Oh, boy. Jesus.
Oh, my goodness.
It’s creepy.
Players, welcome.
Followers, depart.
And lighten up. Honestly, so moody.
In today’s mission, you will need to combine
laser-focused strategy with laser-focused aim.
Each of your names have been immortalized
in separate stained-glass windows.
What you must do is take it in turns
to shoot one of those windows with this crossbow.
To complete the mission, you must break every window
until just one name remains.
The one player whose name remains intact and unshattered
at the end of our mission will claim a precious shield
and be protected from tonight’s murder.
I would like to get a shield.
At the moment, the traitors are busily killing my colleagues.
I want to be protected from murder.
And that would be the way to achieve that protection.
Now, on to the moolah.
You’re going to start this mission with $25,000.
But every time one of you fires a crossbow and misses,
$250 will be omitted from this amount.
Think of it as my very own collection plate.
So, the question is, whose name are you going to target?
This is going to be very interesting.
I think I’m going to like this mission.
We can further chip away at the Peter Pals.
I just have to disband them, to be honest,
because they just think they’re so powerful.
Phaedra, you are the first player.
Please mount the crossbow podium.
Who do you think does not deserve a shield and why?
I’m going to aim for John.
So you don’t think John deserves a shield?
I don’t think he needs one.
Go ahead, Phaedra.
I got it, I got it.
Alas, you missed, and you lost $250.
C.T., please assume the position.
Who do you believe does not deserve a shield?
I’m going to go with Kate,
and I’m just going to go alphabetically down the line.
Kate, how do you feel about being targeted so early in the game?
I think he’s probably going to miss, so it’s fine.
Fighting words, Kate.
- Oh! - Ooh!
Kate, please assume the position.
I’m going to go for C.T. because I’m going alphabetically
for real.
How dare you!
- Oh! - Oh! - Almost, almost.
It’s embarrassing to miss, but I don’t really care
because I’m the one doing the murdering, you know?
That’s $750 lost.
This could be a long afternoon. Sandra?
John doesn’t need protection
because he’s our most faithful of all the faithfuls.
- Ooh! - Shereé?
I think I’m going to go for John.
Wow! People are going for me like ferrets in a sack.
It’s interesting that they all want to shoot you.
Yes. And it’s starting to feel a bit personal.
- Oh! - Oh, baby, so close! - Damn.
Now is your time for vengeance, John.
Whose name will you be choosing?
I will try for M.J.
- Oh! - Damn!
I don’t feel embarrassed.
I just feel frustrated and really irritated with myself.
For goodness sake, Bercow, do better, man.
So close and yet so far.
With every miss, we lose $250, and we have missed a lot.
Trishelle, who do you believe does not deserve a shield?
I’m going to go for Shereé.
Aiming this crossbow is so much more difficult
than I have ever dreamed that it could be.
It’s just so hard.
It just seems like we are not going to make it.
We need to, like, really hustle on this mission.
$2,250 have been deducted from your total.
It would be safe to say you’re not very good at this game.
- We're terrible. - It is safe to say that.
Phaedra, you’re up once more.
- All right. - A fresh start.
And who are you aiming for this time?
This time I think I’ll go for Shereé.
Because the last person was just up under Peter.
I’m going to move it slightly,
but I don’t want to move it too much.
So it’s just a tactical shooting thing.
It's a tactical shooting.
Still too doggone low.
- Missed. C.T. up. You coming? - We’re losing too much money.
Okay. Copy that. Copy that.
C.T., who are you aiming for this time?
I’m gonna go, uh, Shereé.
We’re wasting a lot of money.
And then Phaedra brought up a good point.
It’s easier to move the crossbow left and right
than it is up and down.
- Oh! That was close! Leave it right there. - Ohh!
- Ooh! - Oh, that was close! - It hit just left.
So just a little bit to the right?
Oh, that’s the other way.
Getting closer. Ever closer. M.J., you’re up.
Who are you going for, M.J.? - Shereé.
Don’t change horses midstream.
- Yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! - Oh, my goodness!
That's a bull’s-eye.
Finally you shattered a name, and that name was Shereé's.
- Shereé. - M.J. smashes me.
No shield for me tonight.
Who are you going for, Phaedra?
I think I got to stay where we are and go for Peter.
Now we have the strategy and skill-set.
I must try to get rid of Peter
because he is a bloodhound on my trail,
and he just won’t stop.
Okay, Phaedra, don’t move this thing.
It is in the center, so easy target.
But I have a feeling
she wants to smash it for some other reasons.
Oh!
Oh, my gosh! - Oh, my gosh!
Ohh!
It’s tough because obviously that’s a good sign for the group
because now we’ve saved some money.
My heart can’t take it.
But, um, man, if I ever needed a shield,
it's now.
I'm going Phaedra. Let’s go.
I mean, that’s it. That’s so easy.
It’s so much easier to move left and right, and it’s on target.
So...
- Oh, my God! - Oh, my God, C.T.
Oh, my God! Now we finally have a strategy.
Boom, boom, boom. We're winning.
- Let's go. - Ohh!
Until they finally get to C.T.
Ohh!
Oh!
- Oh! - Oh.
- Oh, wow. - Oh, my God.
- Oh! - Wow, unlucky.
$2,000 have been lost shooting at C.T.
We have wasted seven shots on C.T.
No one’s ever going to hit him.
We have got to keep some of this money,
because a lot of us could not hit a target
if it was sitting on our nose.
Phaedra, you’re next.
I think the best strategy is to get Trishelle out.
Then we’ll do the top.
We got to get it together.
- Phaedra, what's it to be? - C.T. is a vampire.
And I think we’ve got to change the course of what we’re doing
because he won’t die.
- So who will that be? - I think I’m going to get back
on the bottom and go for Trishelle.
At this point, I am really set up to get the shield.
All the panes around my name are smashed.
Phaedra should be doing what we’ve been doing,
which was just trying to not lose more money
and just go for the top panes.
Controversial choice.
The first player to target Trishelle.
She’s always gunning for me. I get it.
You think I’m a traitor, and you want me banished.
If you come for me, I’m going to take you to task.
Oh.
- Oh. - Oh!
$17,000 to play for.
Red flag. You’re a traitor.
You have completely screwed up the game
and screwed everyone else in the process out of money
just to purposefully keep me from getting the shield.
Hey, hey!
Hey! - All right, now!
You are not doing yourself any favors and, by proxy, me
as your new fellow traitor.
So there are three players remaining--
C.T., John, and Kate.
Who are you going for, Phaedra? - Kate.
- Let's go! - Yeah!
Players, only C.T. and John remain,
and only one of them can get the shield
and be protected from the traitors tonight.
C.T., how much would you like to win a shield?
Um, I mean, shields are nice. Yeah, I’ll take it.
John, how much would a shield mean to you tonight?
It would mean a great deal to me.
C.T., up.
- Come on, C.T. - You got it, C.T. Let’s finish it.
Let's go, C.T.
- C.T. is stepping up. - This could be it, players.
Match point.
At least a part of me feels, "Well, I hope he misses it."
- It’s dead smack in the middle. - You got this.
Let's go. One time.
Yeah!
Well done. - I got lucky. Thanks, guys. - That was pretty epic.
What a perfect ending to an extraordinarily long game.
And the player whose name remains intact
and is safe from murder tonight is C.T.
- All right! - Thank you, sir.
- Congratulations! - Well done, C.T.
I won the shield today. I’ll take it.
- Job well done, sir. - Thank you, thank you.
But I feel like Phaedra and Sandra purposely prevented
Trishelle from getting the shield.
That’s traitor behavior to me.
Now, I don’t know how I’m going to bring this up to people.
You lost $9,750 today,
but you banked $15,250.
Respectable. - Nice.
We'll take it.
Why don’t you all head back to my castle and unwind
before tonight’s banishment?
A bit of calm before the looming storm.
Off you go.
We were happy. He just snatched our joy.
If C.T. wouldn’t have hit you, I wasn’t going to shoot for you.
I was going to shoot for C.T. and try to get you a shield. - Oh, okay.
Oh, bless you, Sandra. - And think about it.
You were the first one we were targeting.
And then look at you-- all the way to the damn end.
- I know, right? No one could get you. - Thank you, Sandra.
- I bet you liked this mission. - I got lucky.
I’ll be honest with you, I didn’t ask her to do that.
- Do what? - Do what?
She switched from me when we just kept going for me.
- Well, I missed you on purpose. - So you do like me.
Yeah.
I did feel a certain way when Phaedra decided to take it
all the way off of C.T. and put it on me.
It did seem like that was the complete opposite way
to target. - Yeah, 'cause you guys were diagonal.
Whoo!
- That was such a good mission. - Hey! Pow, pow, pow!
- It was my favorite. - Okay.
Dirty macaroni and cheese? What the heck is that?
Oh!
Phew! God, that looks really good.
You know how mad I am that I can’t have dairy?
That mac and cheese looks so good.
I wish we had sriracha, though.
Sounds good. I’m jealous.
But listen. I’ll say this.
Believe it or not, I will be put up for banishment tonight.
- Yes. - I can totally see it.
And I have all the evidence to lay out exactly how I can’t be.
But it’s not going to matter.
We don’t have the numbers anymore.
So what do we do?
I’ve got an idea.
C.T.'s not going to shift. He’s going to go with her,
come what may, and I think Shereé will.
You got to think of who might be persuadable.
I’m minded to a think in terms of Sandra and M.J.
You know, who else is there left?
- There's Sandra. Sandra? - Sandra? - Sandra?
Tonight is a very pivotal part in the game.
I have a feeling it’s going to be between myself
and between Phaedra for banishment.
I know, to me, it’s shocking
because I have so much evidence of why I can’t be one.
At this point. If we lose a faithful tonight
because people want to stay with their friends
and who they really like, it’s done.
If you’re a faithful, forget about winning this.
Do you want to win the game, or do you want to stay friends?
Yeah, I’m going to listen to what you say
at the round table. - Okay.
I think I’ll know when you start talking.
Let me go grab my food. I’ll be back.
Do you think Sandra will listen to me?
- You have to change her mind. People listen to you. - All right.
I think that John will easily convince Sandra.
So I guess I’m going to work on Kate and M.J.
and kind of see where their head’s at.
I just hope that they’re interested in getting a traitor out,
and I want to make sure that happens.
Who knew you’d be such a good shot?
- Oh, thank you. - Mm-hmm.
So my plan of action right now
is separate Phaedra from the rest of the group...
You wanna talk? You wanna talk? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Want to go over here? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
...and create an opportunity for Trishelle
to convince the rest of the faithfuls.
We’ll see if this plan works.
- What’s going on? - They want her.
John-- he is 100% that Phaedra... - Mm-hmm.
...she’s a traitor.
I’m curious to hear what he’s telling her.
- What are you thinking? - What are you thinking?
I’ll just be straight up. I don’t want to think it's you.
I just do, and I can’t shake the reasons that I think them.
Tiptoe. On your toes. On your toes.
Toes, Kate, toes, toes, toes.
I think the vote will probably come down
to you and me tonight.
And I just don’t see how that could get any momentum
just because there’s just a lot of evidence
how I can’t be a traitor.
Think Kate's going to get busted.
People still in here?
Hey!
Oh!
Can I come in? Can I come in or no?
Of course. You haven’t missed anything.
We’re just sitting here. They’re talking over there.
I think we all know that it’s Phaedra or Peter tonight.
Let’s not beat around the bush. - Mm-hmm.
But I know that Phaedra's a traitor.
Three people voted for her. Kevin’s gone.
And then today, she tried to sabotage the mission.
Whenever she goes all the way from C.T. to my name solely
so that I wouldn’t have a shield so she could murder me tomorrow,
you don’t think that that is, like, compelling evidence?
That’s not faithful behavior. I mean, that’s traitor behavior.
Well, neither is lying about knowing who a traitor is
and telling us not to vote a traitor out.
That’s not faithful behavior. If you want to use that--
But we explained-- we explained the reason.
And you know what I’m talking about,
which is this exact scenario that’s happening right now.
It’s not that I think Peter’s a traitor.
Well, I know he’s not because I am. Ha!
But Peter’s trying to make it to the end.
I don’t want him at the end, so I’m going to vote for him.
Phaedra has four people that will never see evidence.
It’s like y’all have blind loyalty to her.
- Oh, that’s not true. That’s not true. - That's not true.
I didn’t come to this castle
to win a personality test with these ladies.
And if any of us do that, we’re all going to lose.
So I’m going to go in with a very open mind.
I really appreciate that.
Sure. Of course.
While we are Bravo girls, look, if Phaedra is a traitor,
then I really think that Shereé and Kate and I
will be more interested in finding that out
than worried about what Phaedra is going to think.
Good. We’ll bring it up. - I appreciate you saying that.
- We’ll finish it there. Yeah, we’ll continue it there. - I believe you. I believe you.
So while we’re at, uh, today’s mission,
I feel like Phaedra and Sandra purposely prevented
Trishelle from getting the shield.
I think the best strategy is to get Trishelle out.
Then we’ll do the top.
That’s traitor behavior to me.
This one might be a little tricky, though.
You know, Phaedra, because I consider her a friend,
I don’t know what to do.
Oh, man, this game’s getting tough.
Oh, God.
Hey.
- Hey, I wanted to run something by you. - Okay.
I don’t know what to do with this.
When we were at the mission today,
it was Sandra here and Phaedra here.
And I see Phaedra staring at Sandra.
I look over, and she stops. She’s quiet.
Long story, it was basically something
along the lines of you, and pretty sure
they want to prevent you from getting the shields.
So I’m, like, thinking to myself, "You guys are traitors."
Because the only reason you don’t want her to get that
is because you want to get rid of her.
But I don’t think we should bring her up tonight.
No, don't. We don't want her to know.
No, I will not say a [bleep] word.
I trust you.
You are willing to vote Phaedra?
Do you think she’s 100% traitor?
Yes. I do.
I don’t want to vote for Phaedra
because she’s been really good to me.
But catch-22-- damned if I do, damned if I don’t.
Let’s do it.
- Okay. I’m not going to say anything... - Let's do it.
- ...to anybody if you don’t want me to. - Let's do it. Let's go. No.
I don’t want to play games with the traitors.
I don’t want to try to cut a deal with them.
They're traitors. Get rid of them.
Uh...
I did not see this coming.
C.T. is on board, so I’m going into this round table
super confident. Phaedra is a traitor.
We’re going to get her out tonight.
I am salivating
at the prospect of tonight’s round table,
as faithful and traitors throw slings and arrows at each other.
It’s currently a castle of two tribes,
and the two tribes are going to war.
♪ He was a wicked devil in disguise ♪
I know Peter doesn't like me. I get it.
I just have to defend myself and try to make it out of here.
But I will never be intimidated at that round table.
♪ His body lies where flowers grow ♪
I’m going to round table tonight with an open mind.
And I don’t know which way to go.
Just when you think this game is, like, hard,
it just gets harder. Oh, God.
This morning was very difficult for me as a traitor.
I feel more comfortable now. I feel very confident
that Peter is going to get banished tonight.
I am sure there’s going to be a little bit of explaining to do
when he turns around and says he’s a faithful,
but we’ll handle that then.
It’s vital that we hit the right target tonight.
My view is that Phaedra, she’s a traitor.
And if we don’t get rid of her, she will get rid of us.
Players, welcome to the round table,
where truths are uncovered and lies covered up.
In today’s mission, you earned $15,250.
Your total prize pot now stands at $129,750.
Not too shabby.
Earlier, you’re firing arrows at each other’s names,
but in this room, it’s accusations you’ll be firing.
Look around you.
Nobody wants to be banished at this late stage.
But somebody has to be.
The floor is yours.
I want to say this is a pivotal moment in the game,
almost certainly a turning point,
after which there is no realistic prospect
of turning back.
And I do believe, Phaedra,
that although you are a magnificent person,
you’re a traitor.
And I say in support of my proposition,
which I cannot prove but which I ask you to consider
and then to support, the following.
First, two people banished as traitors
both named you as a traitor.
I believe that that’s an important point.
The second point I’d like to make is this--
I think it matters in this game to find and banish the traitors.
Now, of course it’s a game of skill
and intuition and calculation and maneuvering.
But your approach, Phaedra, is to avoid error.
You are fly-low Phaedra.
You are noncommittal by day
and fatal under cover of darkness.
I’m absolutely clear in my mind
that if my attempt tonight to banish you is unsuccessful,
I won’t be here tomorrow.
Now is not the time to sit on the fence.
You have to confront and defeat the enemy.
You are a traitor,
and you should be banished until eternity.
Ah, I’m glad you’re not God. Now, you speak very eloquently.
And, unfortunately, this is not Parliament,
so you could bring it down a notch
and just get to the point,
and we would really appreciate it.
In the case of me, I am a faithful.
And while you would love to protect Peter,
what those two traitors who you so eloquently said
you banished had in common
is both of them were in collusion
with your bromance friend Peter.
So what does that really mean?
If you’re such a traitor hunter,
Why aren’t you talking about that?
And since you so eloquently defend him,
he likes me so much now, he wants to work with me.
Mm. Answer that. - Okay, that’s not true.
I just asked to have a conversation with you tonight. - No, no, no.
You have all of these closed-door meetings
that you say, "Leave the room. I’ll talk to you later."
There is nothing wrong in a game of "traitors"
to want to have private discussions,
because you never know who’s listening to you.
If you’re going to say there’s something illogical
about doing that, then we’re just disconnected here.
You think that you can play all of these tricks.
"Plant this here. I’m going to plant this here.
I’m a true faithful."
What you might have forgot, Peter,
is this is not the "Bachelor."
And I don’t have to kiss your ass for a rose.
I don’t like how you play the game
because it’s all about me, me, me.
Oof.
So I don’t have to answer to you
when you come to me saying,
"Convince me that you are not a traitor."
So that’s where you got me messed up.
Um...
God, that makes me angry.
I don’t want you to be a traitor, Phaedra.
I just think you are. Because up in that point,
I liked you, until what you--
until those words that you just gave to me.
All I’ve done this entire game
is do my absolute best to find the traitors.
You know I rejected your letter.
You probably didn’t like it in a heartbeat.
I don't know anything about your letter.
Okay. You can critique my gameplay all you want.
All I’m saying is, don’t call me a selfish player,
because that’s the last thing that I am here.
The evidence we do have is, at the mission--
And I’m just going to throw it out there
because it is something I was thinking about.
- Yeah. - But hear me out. Hear me out.
I'd like to admit exhibit "A."
If we’re going here
and the knuckleballs are going all over the place,
why wouldn’t we just move over
and have a better shot at a bigger target
instead of coming all the way down here
for somebody that’s been attacking you recently?
- You say what? - To prevent Trishelle from getting a shield.
- You went out of-- - I was not preventing you from getting a shield.
- Honey, you went out of your way. - First of all, Trishelle--
You saw that I might get the shield
because all the ones around me were busted.
And it was going to go across because that was the plan.
That’s what we had been doing, and it was working. - Trishelle.
- Please let me finish. - Okay. Go ahead.
So you-- I saw that, and I was just like,
"Who voted for her last night? Peter, me, and Kevin."
Well, Kevin’s no longer here. You murdered him.
- Okay. - Then today you would not let me get the shield
because you wanted to murder me.
It had nothing to do with targeting you, Trishelle.
Let's move to the middle row. - I had nobody around me.
I was-- I was going to win the shield, and you knew that.
And you said, "She cannot have the shield.
She’s going to be murdered, just like Kevin." - Trishelle!
My whole issue comes down to this, Peter,
you wanting to say Parvati yesterday
but you knew that she was a traitor
just set off alarm bells.
It did not make sense to jump
from where we were to save Parvati
because you think she’s going to give you information.
At the end, to have a legit chance to win this
as a faithful is to get to the end with someone
that you actually know for sure is a traitor.
No one’s ending the game with Parvati in the game,
because they know she’s a traitor.
Why do you run around with the traitors?
Why do the traitors always have to get your permission
before they can speak?
You seriously think I’m a traitor?
We have evidence in this game,
the evidence about the Bergie shield block.
Why would I have misfired on a murder to Bergie?
- No. Yeah. - So that alone proves I can’t be a traitor.
In what world would any traitor ever make these moves?
It’s not going to happen.
Guys, we don’t get this right tonight,
traitors win the game.
Players, it’s now time to vote.
This is really gut-wrenching,
and I don’t want to make a mistake right now.
I don’t know if I can trust Phaedra,
and I think Peter would turn on me no problem.
Every day when you think you’ve been through the hardest thing,
there’s just another curveball coming around that corner.
We’re going to begin with Phaedra.
Peter.
And I think I’ve said it tonight plenty of times.
Sandra.
- Peter. - Oh, boy.
I feel like you feed me whatever you want me to believe.
And then it ends up being opposite
from what is actually being said here.
And it’s just like I feel I can’t get past that.
And that’s why I think you’re a traitor.
Peter.
I most definitely would never be a traitor.
But my vote is for Phaedra.
I’m a faithful to the end.
John.
I believe that Phaedra is a traitor.
So, that’s two votes for Phaedra,
two votes for Peter.
Trishelle.
Phaedra. Sorry, I think you’re a traitor.
C.T.
Phaedra, you know, it’s one thing
to go out of your way to help someone win,
but to go out of your way to make sure they get murdered,
I mean, that’s a pretty telltale sign for me.
So that’s four votes for Phaedra,
two votes for Peter.
Shereé, who do you think is a traitor and why?
Peter, I voted for you.
For the longest, I believed that were are faithful.
I’m not sure if I believe about
you turning down the recruitment.
Kate.
Peter.
So I can’t believe you. I can’t trust you.
So, that’s four votes for Phaedra,
four votes for Peter.
With the deciding vote, M.J.,
who do you think is a traitor and why?
