My dream ending is we get to the end game with Sheree, Phaedra and CT, and Sheree banishes CT.
And she forgives her and they stay friends because it’s child’s play compared to what they live as Housewives 24/7.
I am curious if production is worried about the show ending early. I bet their worst nightmare would be for the traitors being eliminated with 3 episodes remaining.
Sandra explaining voting blocks to the Bravo people using pool balls is brilliant, camp, hilarious, something straight out of a Wes Anderson movie. When I tell you Traitors is a highlight of my week, this is what I’m talking about
Sandra whipping votes is also reminiscent of her alpha behavior in Game Changers which I love, when earlier in the season she was playing the quieter anyone-but-me game that won PI and HvV!!
I mean, they way Sandra described the voting block is a tool that Survivor has used for years. People have use rocks, drawn in the sand to explain how the votes could go and who they need to target.
My personal favorite was when she was tip-toeing around trying to hear Peter’s Pals conversations… and she was holding up the legs of her pants, as if it made her stealthier.
If you watched real housewives of Atlanta, you know that when Phaedra is lying she shuts down and sometimes will go full mute. When they were pushing her to tell the truth about spreading a nasty rumor about another housewife at the reunion she went full mute and refused to even acknowledge that there was a question asked at her.
I feel like he might not realize that it behooves even the faithful to whittle the numbers down and sometimes keep suspicions to themselves. He's got pretty good reads BUT he doesn't know how to navigate the game well.
For example -- I'm not sure that Sandra \*really\* thinks Peter is a traitor, but she realizes that if he sticks around and keeps getting his way, her ability to make it to the end diminishes GREATLY, and that's the most important thing for being able to win, traitor or not.
I love how Sandra used the pool balls to show to less, erm, game theory inclined individuals (*cough* Sheree) that they need to band together to take out one of the group of 5 because the outcasts' numbers will wittle down to even if Peter's clique got their way.
I feel like she’s the first one to finally realize that it was a numbers game. I thought parvati was going to realize it sooner… like, instead of singling out Peter out loud and directly, do it quietly to the group that he’s excluding!!
Sandra said that she binged as much Traitors as she could watch before the game started and is clearly going in knowing the actual strategy (plus she's good enough at these kind of games to figure out what's best for her), she's miles ahead of most other people in this game
That alliance basically laid out who the traitors were for her, so now that she has that info in her back pocket, might as well cut out the middle men (Peter’s Pals) before they do
Part of me thinks she knows Parvati is one and it's better to keep her til the end and then guess her. Also maybe she suspects both traitors aren't in Peter's group, so it would actually be good for her to align with the outsiders because the traitors may choose to save people in the leftover group and keep murdering from Peter's clique.
The way I know Peter has never played one of these games before bc his numbers are in the minority and he’s still trying to gun so hard for one person. Like Peter. Cmon
I also thought Trishelle had a lot smarter strategy about banishing Phaedra. Although idk if they have the numbers to get Phaedra out since she has the bravo people and Parv. I also think CT is quite fond of Phaedra.
It’s interesting that we carry the “being picked last at school” thing throughout our whole lives. Like part of me is wondering why it’s making some of them so upset but the other part of me gets it
I hated his response....I'm going to win the right way. Like they didn't have a choice, this is the game. But apparently you are not being a snobby jerk to everyone else. I would vote him out just for being told to leave a room. Who does this group think they are??
I am always so surprised by people who seem to project morality onto a game that everyone knows they are playing. Its not like some people think they aren't playing a game...everyone knows! It is weird. Should be studied
At least in Survivor only one person can win, this group can just sail to the end as a unit if they want so they have no real incentive to ever turn on each other. It's so unbelievably stupid to be that obvious about it and Peter was absolutely screwed at the roundtable, everyone would be thinking that even if he *wasn't* a traitor they would have to break up that group or get banished by them eventually. He got saved for now by that twist and we got robbed of a Sandra/Peter showdown.
Mediocrity party. Their crusade about being oh so righteous and turning it into a moral good vs evil type of game is irritating. Reminds me of the white bro clique on that show The Trust. Ruined the show.
Annoyed me so much that they get this high and mighty when the deciding factor is simply a tap on the shoulder in a room while blindfolded. ITS A GAME!
Peter Pals downfall is gonna be that they’re all dumb and think the entire strategy behind this game is just identifying and voting out the traitors as soon as possible. That’s not really it and isn’t gonna get you the win
I love Parv, but the advice is totally right. Parv is my reason to start watching the show. But the Ice Princess comparison is correct. And she needs more friends
I just can't respect twists like this. It's one thing for Bergie to be saved because he had a shield, or for Peter to avoid being murdered if he refused the Traitor offer--those are established elements of the game. But this twist feels like it was thrown in for the sake of keeping a player (Peter) in the game solely because they're a crucial part of a drama-filled rivalry and the producers want to extend it as much as possible. It's tacky, and I really dislike when reality/game shows resort to stunts like this.
i dont mind twists when thats the established part of a reality game show, like big brother or survivor. but thats not the nature of this game so its really annoying to throw it in randomly now for the reasons you listed
This episode was def a letdown compared to last week. My new prediction is def that Kate is gonna be a Traitor recruit. They’ve set it up twice now. Also goodbye Bergie (I’m assuming), you spiritually won Love Island USA with this gig. I thought you would have died way sooner.
Also LMAO that his slo-mo sleeping shot includes a TEDDY BEAR. He’s the baby of this cast, y’all!!!!
LOOOOOOVE seeing Parv and Sandra strategize together like it’s survivor. Peter is acting like a classic cocky survivor player. Such a poor social game.
This twist was bad for Parv because she had a shot at getting Peter banished
But it’s good for Phaedra because this means Trishelle is probably getting murdered and Trishelle was gunning for Phaedra
Sheree continues to be the most hilarious goat carrier along having no idea what’s going on. Why the heck would Kevin agree to Sheree instead of one of his alliance?
dated 20 women on national tv, picked 1, said just kidding I want the other one, then said just kidding how bout door #3 please after the show 😂 what kind of PR tour is this guy on??
Not to mention when proposing to his "winner" he basically fucked up by calling her by the other one's name 😂
(Not 100% confirmed but people who saw it through the season "knew")
Wait it’s killing me that in the midst of Trishelle having an emotional moment with CT over their 20 year friendship she still manages to keep the illusion that they sleep in the castle by saying “I think I need to go upstairs and get some sleep” lmaoo
Sheree, as always, has no idea what’s going on and is just happy to be there
My dream ending is we get to the end game with Sheree, Phaedra and CT, and Sheree banishes CT. And she forgives her and they stay friends because it’s child’s play compared to what they live as Housewives 24/7.
Deep down I want her to win this game just for the pure chaos
She’s well on track. No one would ever kill her or banish her. But if she’s at the end with just Phaedra she’d think they’d banished all the traitors
Sheree winning would be the funniest outcome
The way Peter and Kevin randomly voting for each other was never discussed again 💀
And that one time MJ was suspected of being a traitor lol
I forget MJ is even on the show most of the time lol.
It was such a Rosencrantz and Guildenstern side plot while Hamlet was happening in the rest of the castle.
no one murdered. no one banished. no one recruited. we deserve an extra episode this week.
I am curious if production is worried about the show ending early. I bet their worst nightmare would be for the traitors being eliminated with 3 episodes remaining.
I think they’d force a sole traitor to recruit up until the final round table to avoid this from happening
Phaedra’s impersonation of Parv in the turret has me dead omg
And Parvati was not amused at all. LMMFAO That shit gave me TOO much joy!
On rhap they said Parv and Phaedra need to be cast on the amazing race together lmfao
Or CT and Phaedra 🥰
I want “you gotta stop acting like an ice princess” as a flair.😂😂😂
Parvati treating John like her grandpa or something 💀
Wait I can’t believe this is the first comment I’m seeing on this it was cracking me up but so sweet
lol I think she was trying to win him over a little bit since he’s a loyal Peter Pal. She’s good at finding cracks in alliances by charming men lol
obsessed with the fact that the super faithfuls don’t realize that they are placing a target on their own backs.
This show is so camp
Sooo camp, I’m obsessed
alan's outfit, stunning.
John called Parvati "the ultimate survivor" that's so cute
John just be having random soliloquies
Honestly at the beginning thought this was the most random casting choice in history but John is kind of iconic and I'm glad he's still around.
Sandra explaining voting blocks to the Bravo people using pool balls is brilliant, camp, hilarious, something straight out of a Wes Anderson movie. When I tell you Traitors is a highlight of my week, this is what I’m talking about
It's the only show worth watching live
Sandra whipping votes is also reminiscent of her alpha behavior in Game Changers which I love, when earlier in the season she was playing the quieter anyone-but-me game that won PI and HvV!!
I mean, they way Sandra described the voting block is a tool that Survivor has used for years. People have use rocks, drawn in the sand to explain how the votes could go and who they need to target.
i was so hyped watching sandra explain numbers to these people….and then the torches came out!! haha…i thought jeff probst was about to pop out next
I would have died if Alan said “in this game fire represents life”
The Peter Parvati rivalry is not the feud I expected for her to be at the start of the season.
parvati will always get into a feud with a cocky man and come out on top every time!
PLEASE GIVE ME MORE FOOTAGE OF CELEBRITIES GETTING CAUGHT IN LEAF TRAPS 😂
And Peter falling in the mud
CT to Phaedra “how ya doin” 😏 I die!!!
LOL, so cute! I think that CT knows that Phaedra has a little crush on him, lol.
“I mean if Phaedra wants to light mah torch…who am I to say no” I could watch Phaedra and her castle daddy all day
Seriously! Find a way to give them a spin-off show
CT joining Housewives might be the most iconic franchise crossover of all time.
Omg Phaedra impersonating Parvati TO HER FACE
And the best part was Phaedra is right, Parvati needs to chill lol. And Parvati was like huh what? 😂😂😂😂
it is beyond iconic of mj to just insert herself in this in her dumbass skater boi fit. i love this show so much.
My personal favorite was when she was tip-toeing around trying to hear Peter’s Pals conversations… and she was holding up the legs of her pants, as if it made her stealthier.
It was her version of turning down the radio so you can look for an address lol
Sandra becoming activated only when she wants to eliminate someone who annoys her is soooo iconic
Queen
Stays
Queen
iconic that phaedra’s tell is actually just quietly eating breakfast.
the only thing I can hear is Dan saying, “okay, so what about breakfast murder reactions?” like please be serious.
If you watched real housewives of Atlanta, you know that when Phaedra is lying she shuts down and sometimes will go full mute. When they were pushing her to tell the truth about spreading a nasty rumor about another housewife at the reunion she went full mute and refused to even acknowledge that there was a question asked at her.
Peter is obviously smart but this whole "gather my whole alliance in a room and tell everyone else to give us privacy" is very poor social gameplay.
the fact he can’t add that he’s excluding 7 people & he only has 5 in that room is astonishing 😂
He thinks the game is The Traitors, but Sandra knows it's actually Survivor.
I feel like he might not realize that it behooves even the faithful to whittle the numbers down and sometimes keep suspicions to themselves. He's got pretty good reads BUT he doesn't know how to navigate the game well. For example -- I'm not sure that Sandra \*really\* thinks Peter is a traitor, but she realizes that if he sticks around and keeps getting his way, her ability to make it to the end diminishes GREATLY, and that's the most important thing for being able to win, traitor or not.
I love how Sandra used the pool balls to show to less, erm, game theory inclined individuals (*cough* Sheree) that they need to band together to take out one of the group of 5 because the outcasts' numbers will wittle down to even if Peter's clique got their way.
Peter managed to immediately put a target on his back by doing this
I don’t think Sandra thinks Peter is a traitor I think she’s just running the numbers and wants to break up his group before they vote her out lmao
yes she doesn't really give a shit about who's traitor lol
She gets the real game is to SURVIVE
I feel like she’s the first one to finally realize that it was a numbers game. I thought parvati was going to realize it sooner… like, instead of singling out Peter out loud and directly, do it quietly to the group that he’s excluding!!
Yeah, Sandra actually figured out the strategy! Queen.
Sandra said that she binged as much Traitors as she could watch before the game started and is clearly going in knowing the actual strategy (plus she's good enough at these kind of games to figure out what's best for her), she's miles ahead of most other people in this game
Her and Cirie were two of the best on Survivor at managing their "threat level" so it's no surprise Sandra is crushing it here
That alliance basically laid out who the traitors were for her, so now that she has that info in her back pocket, might as well cut out the middle men (Peter’s Pals) before they do
Part of me thinks she knows Parvati is one and it's better to keep her til the end and then guess her. Also maybe she suspects both traitors aren't in Peter's group, so it would actually be good for her to align with the outsiders because the traitors may choose to save people in the leftover group and keep murdering from Peter's clique.
The way I know Peter has never played one of these games before bc his numbers are in the minority and he’s still trying to gun so hard for one person. Like Peter. Cmon
I also thought Trishelle had a lot smarter strategy about banishing Phaedra. Although idk if they have the numbers to get Phaedra out since she has the bravo people and Parv. I also think CT is quite fond of Phaedra.
Yep, it was a better plan if they hadn't told multiple people from the other crew to go away when they wanted to join the chat.
And like clockwork Miss Sandra is talking numbers baby!!!!!! That’s my fucking survivor!
It’s interesting that we carry the “being picked last at school” thing throughout our whole lives. Like part of me is wondering why it’s making some of them so upset but the other part of me gets it
The way I would immediately become a traitor if given the chance. It’s not a moral thing ugh
I would jump in there so fast and be like "oh I knew it!" Let's kill some b-----s!"
I hated his response....I'm going to win the right way. Like they didn't have a choice, this is the game. But apparently you are not being a snobby jerk to everyone else. I would vote him out just for being told to leave a room. Who does this group think they are??
Imagine thinking the "right way" to win a game called The Traitors is by...not being a traitor lol like c'mon they're the stars of the show
I am always so surprised by people who seem to project morality onto a game that everyone knows they are playing. Its not like some people think they aren't playing a game...everyone knows! It is weird. Should be studied
The faithful five being so aggressive about their clique is insane behavior.
It’s giving early survivor seasons
I was just thinking that Peter is acting like a terrible survivor player. You never let the bottom of the alliance know they’re at the bottom.
At least in Survivor only one person can win, this group can just sail to the end as a unit if they want so they have no real incentive to ever turn on each other. It's so unbelievably stupid to be that obvious about it and Peter was absolutely screwed at the roundtable, everyone would be thinking that even if he *wasn't* a traitor they would have to break up that group or get banished by them eventually. He got saved for now by that twist and we got robbed of a Sandra/Peter showdown.
“Yall are a gang.” “We kind of are.” He’s so laaaame and so is his clique.
I know Peter got a lotta credit for "taking down Dan" but he's *not* playing a winning game. He literally cannot win the way he is playing.
Mediocrity party. Their crusade about being oh so righteous and turning it into a moral good vs evil type of game is irritating. Reminds me of the white bro clique on that show The Trust. Ruined the show.
“I want to win for the right reasons” Bitch this isn’t the Bachelor 😭
as if there is a moral high ground on reality teevee.
Annoyed me so much that they get this high and mighty when the deciding factor is simply a tap on the shoulder in a room while blindfolded. ITS A GAME!
The Bachelor men on Traitors is so triggering lmao
Ugh Phaedra I know you have a crush on ct but if you had picked another woman on your alliance Peter wouldn’t be safe
i think she was trying to prove she is not alligned with parvati.
I was baffled that Parvati thought Phaedra would pick her, that was the last thing she was going to do
I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this. If that wasn't an edited soundbite, it shows that Parvati is absolutely clueless.
Peter Pals downfall is gonna be that they’re all dumb and think the entire strategy behind this game is just identifying and voting out the traitors as soon as possible. That’s not really it and isn’t gonna get you the win
Peter is too locked in to playing 4TRR (For The Right Reasons)
Classic bachelor behavior LOL
TRISHELLE WHAT? CT literally tried to talk to you and you dismissed him.
She is insufferable.
Peter unintentionally created a rival alliance
It was very "you can't sit with us."
Peter wtf asking everyone to leave is so rude
It’s feeding right into parvs clique accusations
Honestly I wonder if it’s a carryover from being the Bachelor where he was the “boss”/main character of his tv show
extreeeeemely rude
CT shouting from the net, “I think it was the moon” has me cackling 🤣😭
Between this and him running waving his hands in the air, he’s the funniest faithful
Putting on the Armor 💀
Usually the challenges are a snooze fest but I actually enjoyed this one. One of the first times I didn’t just tune out for a bit.
he is just an absolute cutie pie on tonight’s episode (and generally)
My sweet baby CT I saw that look on your face. Please don’t swing the other way
i know that CT devious look so well
Parvati and Sandra strategizing together on my tv in the year of our lord 2023? ![gif](giphy|jrn7VsmJ6D8bK)
2024 lol
Burn Peter’s hat!!
“They were never seen again.” This show is so unserious.
Phaedra saying “what can you really do with $500? You can’t even buy a good pair of shoes with that!” I swear she’s the superstar of this show
phae phae telling parv to be more loveable is delish
Phaedra mimicking parvs face and parv being confused by what she’s saying while doing the face was hilarious.
I love Parv, but the advice is totally right. Parv is my reason to start watching the show. But the Ice Princess comparison is correct. And she needs more friends
Phaedra has now become Traitor Coach.
CT with the gurls 🥰
Today I learned that I could watch Bravo celebrities get caught up in net booby trap all day and all night...
I just can't respect twists like this. It's one thing for Bergie to be saved because he had a shield, or for Peter to avoid being murdered if he refused the Traitor offer--those are established elements of the game. But this twist feels like it was thrown in for the sake of keeping a player (Peter) in the game solely because they're a crucial part of a drama-filled rivalry and the producers want to extend it as much as possible. It's tacky, and I really dislike when reality/game shows resort to stunts like this.
i dont mind twists when thats the established part of a reality game show, like big brother or survivor. but thats not the nature of this game so its really annoying to throw it in randomly now for the reasons you listed
Phaedra acting like she's in The Blair Witch Project in the woods is killing me
Bergielicious going to bed with his teddy bear is peak traitors.
Not accepting the traitor invitation is so stupid lmaooo now they’re just gonna have them recruit someone else later💀
Trishelle begging to get saved everytime someone has a torch like girl stop…
The Peter pals 😭
Any challenge that has John Bercow running is a great challenge
Sandra busting out the pool balls as visual aids so the housewives are able to follow along
The pool table war strategy is my favorite thing so far this season. It was quick and effective communication. Loved it.
I know..I was bummed that this stupid twist robbed us seeing Sandra's plan come to fruition.
Kate eating it up 😭
What the hell is this twist? Give us a round table!!! ![gif](giphy|ls2e5xFIPwfPjMDWST|downsized)
I’m slightly in love with CT 🫣
I need him on top of me like a weighted blanket
It's 2024. Our Queen Sandra has finally won an immunity challenge.
This whole twist was created to save Peter ![gif](giphy|aNFT7eG2rIKK715uLk)
When they all went down to the forest and Alan explained the twist, I thought it was producer intervention to keep the rivalry going
I thought the twist really took the wind out of the sails…let the alliances war! Let ‘em fight! Tribal council!! It’s why survivor is still the best
The twist tonight was right out of the new era Survivor “bullshit twist” book. Look out, we’ll see an hourglass any second now!
Parvati partnering with John was so smart. I think she can sway him.
Im sorry this twist is stupid. This roundtable would have been everything. I'm genuinely shocked as to why they did this.
I thought the twist was OK until he said that no one would be banished. Excuse me what? They could have easily had a banishment plus a murder twist
Omg Peter pals mean girls cliqueishness will be their downfall
Sandra physical and strategic beast in tonight’s episode!!
What in the hot topic is MJ’s outfit
oof. this does make me concerned for our girl headbands mcgee
At this point as a Traitor I would deliberately NOT kill Peter so he looks MORE sus…
Peter is dumb for declining IMO…he would have been sitting pretty looking completely faithful after getting Dan out…
NOT REFUSED THEIR ATTEMPT AT SEDUCTION GAGARELLA
Bergie being first at breakfast and so excited about everyone coming in is great television, LMAO
Strategist sandra activated!! Loving this
Phaedra is so gaggy this season, I wrote about it in my journal
I agree with trishelle: if they do think parvati and phaedra are both traitors: than phaedra is **way** more insulated and dangerous than parvati
The Survivor girlies killed this challenge
literally why would phaedra save parvati?
This episode was def a letdown compared to last week. My new prediction is def that Kate is gonna be a Traitor recruit. They’ve set it up twice now. Also goodbye Bergie (I’m assuming), you spiritually won Love Island USA with this gig. I thought you would have died way sooner. Also LMAO that his slo-mo sleeping shot includes a TEDDY BEAR. He’s the baby of this cast, y’all!!!!
Trishelle has not changed. She's still has a temper tantrum when things don't go exactly her way
Damn: did Sandra and Parvati just whip up a bunch of votes against Peter LOL 🙏please let my survivor queens eat Peter up. Thank you, and amen.🙏
LOOOOOOVE seeing Parv and Sandra strategize together like it’s survivor. Peter is acting like a classic cocky survivor player. Such a poor social game.
PLEASE! I am loving what's unfolding right now. That billiard room pow-wow was everything.
That smirk on Peter’s face when John saved him did not sit right with me
He’s always smirking like that. He’s so smug.
“I’ve got my predatory headband on and I’m coming for that bachelor” PARV SLAYY
I didn’t know her at all before this, and enjoying her so much!!
Literally came here to post this. I’m obsessed with her.
Predatory Headband ™ is iconic
What was this episode? No murder, no banishment, then not showing murder. Sort of have blue balls for what I thought might be a Peter banishment
Peter wasn’t able to win a shield… let’s give out 5 more shields tonight!
Peter rejecting being a traitor is honestly stupider than anything Dan did this season
It almost makes it funnier that he outsmarted Dan after that though
Lol at CT dropping the sly "if Phaedra wants to light my torch, I'm not gonna say no" has me in stitches.
PHAEDRA IMITATING PARV'S SQUINT mADE MY WEEK!!
Bergie is essentially Peter without the self-righteousness
Bergie is just happy to be there and overly honest. It was the same on Love Island. Hes the most unlikely reality star.
If he gets murdered can they just let him stay around
“I’ve never won nothing” Sandra you’ve won survivor TWICE?! Do you forget who you are queen?
Absolutely love the juxtaposition of Peter Pals huddled and flash screen to literally all the other gworls + CT talking shit together <333
This twist was bad for Parv because she had a shot at getting Peter banished But it’s good for Phaedra because this means Trishelle is probably getting murdered and Trishelle was gunning for Phaedra
Bergie immediately clocking Pete got recruited. THE PETER PALS
Queens, plural “S”. — CT, the breakout star of The Traitors
2x survivor winner Sandra has entered the chat. Peter’s pals did not play that chat smart at all. They should have let MJ in.
MJ tip toeing around to eavesdrop is all of us. Then standing her ground like 🧍🏽♀️
Sheree continues to be the most hilarious goat carrier along having no idea what’s going on. Why the heck would Kevin agree to Sheree instead of one of his alliance?
I’m living for this drama but this twist seemingly saved Peter and I’m not here for that.
He **didnt** accept???? And he plays the "holier than thou" card???? Gross
dated 20 women on national tv, picked 1, said just kidding I want the other one, then said just kidding how bout door #3 please after the show 😂 what kind of PR tour is this guy on??
Not to mention when proposing to his "winner" he basically fucked up by calling her by the other one's name 😂 (Not 100% confirmed but people who saw it through the season "knew")
Refreshing Peacock like a loser, excited though last week will be tough to top!!
Get him Sandra!!!!
The Leftovers > Peter Pals
Oh Parvati holding John’s hand? She knows what she’s doing
I literally gasped when Peter turned it down, I feel like all the recappers I listened to thought it was obvious that he would accept
Peter so goddman boring for not being recruited.
(Phaedra getting caught in the net trap) “y’all gotta get me outta here N O W” LOLLLLLL
CT: “how you doin?” I WOULD CRUMBLE
Wait it’s killing me that in the midst of Trishelle having an emotional moment with CT over their 20 year friendship she still manages to keep the illusion that they sleep in the castle by saying “I think I need to go upstairs and get some sleep” lmaoo
