02x06 - Backstab and Betrayal

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on "The Traitors"...

One more player
into this game of death.

Players, there's a new guest
in my castle.

- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.

- Hey.
- Whoa!

Well, I'm back.

Did you miss me?

Tell me everything.

Who do we hate?

"Dear Kate, you are a faithful."

I'm just here
to have a good time

and [bleep] up some sh*t,
you know?

Hide it in our pockets.
Hide it in pockets.

Does anyone want to reveal
if they won a shield?

In the best interest
of the faithfuls,

we are not willing
to reveal any information.

I set a trap for the people
I think are traitors.

I told Parvati, C.T., and Dan...

...that Janelle and I
did get the shield

even though we didn't.

I am hoping
that the traitors

decide m*rder*d Bergie
or Trishelle,

'cause then that m*rder
gets blocked,

and I'll be able to confirm
that one of the people

that I revealed that information
to is a traitor.

I think Dan is a traitor.
You've done nothing.

All you do is sit back...
- Okay.

...and don't say a name.

- One name, at least.
- I'm saying Janelle.

You've taken two or three sh*ts
and missed,

and I can't trust you anymore.
I can't move forward with you

in this game.
I voted for Janelle.

- Janelle.
- Janelle.

Janelle.

I'm a faithful, you idiots.

Good job, guys. Good job.

You guys are trusting
the traitors.

You got one sh*t tomorrow.

Your name is already
on my chalkboard.

We have to take out Bergie.

I feel very confident
Bergie doesn't have a shield.

I'm a little nervous
about Peter.

He must be lying.
- It's rolling the dice.

I'm going to tell you
I need this m*rder.

Let the chips fall
where they may.



The fifth m*rder
has been attempted,

but unbeknownst
to the traitors,

Bergie is the holder
of a shield.

There was no m*rder, and Bergie
will be arriving at breakfast

along with his fellow faithfuls.

In this game of chess,

a k*ller move
has just been made.

- Whew.
- Are we the first people here?

- We are.
- Oh, my gosh.

There's still
a lot of people here.

There's a lot of plates.

It's my first breakfast
back in the castle.

Here we go again.

This bread is nice.

I think they did this
for you, Kate.

Oh, actually,
I organized this.

Do you love it?
- You did? It looks beautiful.

Yeah, thank you.

Oh, my God.

Inside of the breakfast room
is like a pressure cooker.

I am feeling
extreme nervousness.

I'm really hoping that Bergie
does not have a shield

and let this m*rder
come off without a hitch.

Okay, so who do you think
it is?

Who do we think it is, Kate?

I think it will be, sadly,

one of our Bravo girls
because I'm here.

People start looking to me like
I'm some kind of expert.

I'm like, "Listen,
I just got here.

I'm still trying to remember
people's names,

so pass the toast."

[ Knock on door ]

Okay, who's it going to be?

Who is it?

- Oh. Oh.
- C.T, Dan, and Sandra.

- What's going on?
- Good morning, everyone.

- Good morning.
- Welcome.

Good morning.
This is a huge gamble

and a huge risk to m*rder Bergie
for a lot of reasons.

Number one, he told everyone
in front of me

that he's going to write
my name down next time.

And number two, everyone's going
to pin this m*rder on me.

But if you want a huge reward,

you got to take
some great risks.

And that's what
I'm doing right now.

Kate, how's it feel to be back
in the swing of things?

So weird.
And why did I do this?

But, you know, I thrive
when I'm miserable,

so I feel like
I'm going to do well.

I think it's going to be nice
to have some fresh eyes here,

for sure.
- Mm-hmm.

Okay.

I think people are just
kind of getting fed up

with all these faithfuls
going home,

and, uh, tired
of being wrong, you know?

I want to get a traitor.

Sandra, who do you think's
not coming?

I think it might be John,

because he's the most faithful
of the faithfuls.

[ Knock on door ]

Come in.

- Yes! Oh, my God.
- Yay!

- Phaedra.
- Whew.

Glam queen.

- Yay!
- Yay!

Hi, guys?
Okay, C.T.

So good to see you.

Hey, Miss Kate.

Walking into breakfast,
I'm feeling frustrated.

The choice to m*rder Bergie
was not my decision.

Dan wanted him gone because
he's been hot on Dan's trail.

I really adore Bergalicious.

I think he's a sweet young man,
and he's just so kind,

but everybody's got to die.

[ Knock on door ]

- Okay.
- Oh, sh*t.



- Hey.
- Peter.

- Morning.
- Good morning.

- Oh, Kevin.
- What up?

Good morning, good morning,
good morning.

Good morning. Welcome.

I'm there at breakfast,
feeling confident.

I have a little bit of
a strategy in play right now,

and I am just hoping the trap
to get a traitor works.

I think it has to be John just
'cause he's completely useless

now to the traitors.
I think everyone's so convinced

that he's a faithful.

My theory was it's going to be
someone who voted for me

'cause it's an easy pin,
you know?

Of course I m*rder*d them
because they voted for me.

You know what I mean?

- Because Bergie, Trishelle...
- John-- all voted for Dan.

[ Knock on door ]

- Oh.
- Okay.

Alright.

I'm praying
to see John walk in,

because if he walks in,
I know that my strategy worked,

and they went for Bergie
or Trishelle.



- Oh, my God.
- Trishelle!

- Whoo!
- Wow.

- Oh, my God.
- Bergie.

- Berg.
- What?

- Wait, we're the last two?
- Yes.

Oh, my God.

The trap worked.
Mic drop.

I feel really good
'cause we m*rder*d Bergie,

and he is someone who's adamant
that I am a traitor.

I just want to get
through this breakfast

and really sit back
and enjoy my cup of coffee.

God damn it.



What?

Everyone's going to be totally
surprised when Bergie walks in

'cause everyone thinks
that he was m*rder*d,

but I know that Bergie
has the shield

because he was on my team,
and I also have the shield.

I love my Bergalicious,
I love Bergie. Damn.

[ Knock on door ]
- [ Screams ]



- Aah! Bergie!
- Hey!



Oh, my God.

I have the shield.

Aah! Bergie!

Wow.

- Oh, my God, that was so scary.
- Shut up.

Someone gave me
a death warrant last night.

- Wow.
- I have the shield.

- Oh, my God.
- Thank you, Jesus.

- Wow, Bergie.
- Wow.

What happened?
Uh, uh, uh, I just...

- Oh, my God.
- Wow.

Oh, man.

Phew,
we thought Berg was dead.

Honey, he was like Christ.
He rose again.

- Nice frickin' job.
- Peter.

Yep.

Checkmate.

Wow.

The trap worked,
the traitors took the bait,

and now I know
at least one traitor

is in that group
of Parvati C.T., and Dan.

- Somebody tried to off you?
- Somebody tried to off you?

I was supposed to be dead.
I was supposed to be dead.

I'm glad you're here, Bergie.

Bergie is super happy.
He's waving his shield.

Like, what the hell is going on?
- Wow.

This one was on me.
I wanted to take a huge risk

and get out a big target,
and it's backfired.

Peter, you told people that
you had the shield last night.

So what happened
was we wanted the traitors

to think that Janelle
and myself,

that we had the shields
so they wouldn't go after us.

So to do that,
I leaked to a couple of people

that I had the shield,
even though I didn't.

Best-case scenario
just happened

this morning
where they went for a m*rder,

that person
was actually protected,

and, obviously, their m*rder
was null and void.

I've been exposed, and I fully
and completely blame Dan.

It was Dan's decision
to m*rder Bergie.

But as long as
I'm still in the game,

I still have power,
and I will reclaim it.

Mark my words.

We leaked it to the people that
we thought were the traitors.

Oh.
Who did you leak it to?

Hold on. Because I don't know.
Who did you leak it to?

A couple of people.

You didn't tell me.

Well, you told me.
You told me you had the shield.

I'm like the new kid at school.

I have no idea what's going on.
Bergie seems excited

when he walks through
that door with the shield.

But also,
Bergie always seems excited.

You told me in confidence.
I kept it to myself.

I didn't say a word.

It was leaked to me,
but I'm not a traitor.

You didn't tell me.

Dan and Parvati
have fell into a big trap.

They could be in trouble.

But my name has
not been brought up,

so I feel safe today.

Competitive juices are flowing.

I'm ready to take
these traitors out.

Okay, I'mma have
to cut this meat.

Ah.

- Wow.
- Ooh, yes!

Wow.

Good morning, my precious.

Morning.

And what a morning it is.

It seems the sun
is shining on you faithful.

Because as you can see,
everyone is still here.

- Whoo! Let's go.
- Whoo-whoo!

I'll let you work out
what that means.

Don't ask me. I'm just here
to say cryptic things

and look absolutely spectacular.

You know it.

Now, get those
pancakes finished.

You'll need your strength
and a lot of ballast

for today's mission.

I'll meet you there. Arrivederci.

I took a huge gamble.
It backfired.

Peter totally led me
off the scent.

I'm like,
he's just not that slick.

He's the Bachelor, you know?
He gives roses out.

He doesn't give out, like,
crazy game theories.

But he got me.

I have to change up how I'm
playing this game completely.

How's it feel to be alive,
Berg?

- Feels pretty damn good.
- That was expl*sive.

I was, like, not knowing

if they were going to come
for you last night.

I was praying they were.
I'm like, please, please.

As soon as Bergie
walked in this morning,

I knew that the trap worked
and Dan and Parvati

did not feel comfortable.
Their face was saying it all.

They were so squirmish.

But C.T. did not react,
so it's down to Dan and Parvati.

It's advantage faithfuls now,
and I love it.

I'm in all black 'cause
the traitors go down tonight.

- That's amazing.
- Alright?

I know.
My God, it'll be so good.

I kind of just wanted to,
like, rile some feathers there.

- You riled them.
- I put it out there.

Parvati could not look at me.
- But, you know,

her name
has been brought up a lot,

but then it just got
drowned out with other stuff.

- Did you know?
- Never heard it. Never heard it.

I really feel bad
for Dan and Parvati,

but it's every traitor
for themselves.



Do you want to go talk?
Okay.

Peter came for me.

I fell right into
his little trap.

And I am feeling very exposed
and feeling very vulnerable.

But I am very good at surviving.

I need to convince Peter
that I'm not a traitor.

- Alright, sell me.
- Okay, you're telling me

that you have been
planting seeds this whole time?

- Yeah.
- So how are you not a traitor?

I think it's pretty obvious
at this point.

Like, I really don't think
anyone has any suspicion of me.

Are you suspicious of me?

Yeah, Peter.

I mean, you're gaming
really hard.

- Why aren't you a traitor?
- Why aren't I a traitor?

Yeah, do you have any--
any seeds you planted,

any information, like,
that no one else knows?

Like, something to give me to,
like, get me off of you or no?

No, I'm, like, doing
as best as I possibly can

to figure this out.

You think it's 100%
that you're not?

I think it's 100%
that I'm not.

Everyone's going to say
that about themselves.

I'm trying to work
with you right now,

but you're not
giving me anything.



Man, Peter, get off my case.

He thinks he's caught me
in a lie,

and now he's making it
his mission

to get me out of this game.



- Want to talk?
- Yeah.

I'm under fire, and this is

a very, very difficult fight
for me.

I'm playing
this game way too slow

and not aggressive enough.

The time for being passive
is over.

It's time for me to really
take control of this ship.

I'm just trying to think,
with us, like,

what went wrong?
- I will say this.

There's nothing
you could've done differently.

You were kind of always
in my top three.

I'm pretty confident
it has to be you or Parvati

because of the leak that I did,
- Yeah, I thought--

I mean, I was like,
dang, that's, like,

kind of a little weird
that you did that.

- Yeah.
- You know?

But I just thought
it's 'cause we were tight,

but either way.
I just, like--

Just promise me when, like,
I say I'm a faithful, don't--

don't, like, take it to heart.
Like, I-- I get it.

You know?
Like, I'm not mad.

I'll just be very honest.
- Yeah.

- I'm pretty convinced.
- Yeah, no.

And if I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

It's going to be--
It's going to suck.

I'm very concerned

based on how Peter's
talking to me.

He will not rest until they get
their first traitor blood.

I've had my back
against the wall before.

This is not new to me,

so let's see
what I can pull off.

The prize pot is standing
at $75,500...

Let's make some money.

Let's make some money, honey.

...and the players have
the chance to add to it

even further in today's mission.

Hello, players.

For today's mission,
I'm getting all medieval on you.

And this mission could add
$20,000 for the prize pot.

[ Cheers and applause ]

All you have to do
is fire a cannonball

from my magnificent catapult.

However, there are
a couple of issues.

Number one, the catapult launch
site is all the way over there

on top of that massive hill.

[ Chuckling ] Holy sh*t.

Number two, the catapult
isn't actually there yet.

I had a feeling.

So you need to find, collect,
and carry the catapult pieces

along the long
and arduous journey

in order to successfully
build the machine.

En route, you'll find a sledge.

This will help you transport
the pieces.

Players,
these pieces are not light,

and you'll need
all the strength and tools

you can muster.

To clarify, collect and carry
the catapult pieces

before constructing them
at the top of the ridge,

and then fire this fabulous
golden cannonball

from the catapult.

Do that in 60 minutes,
and you will bank $20,000.

As always,
there's one more thing.

There is a chance for one player
to win a shield

that will protect them
from tonight's m*rder.

Along the way, you will find
shield a*mo boxes like this.

Thank you, Fergus.

Only the players that cross
the finish line with an a*mo box

will have a chance to fight
for the one shield on offer.

There's always a chance
that I can get m*rder*d,

and I always think
that I will get m*rder*d,

so I need a shield.

But I know these people.
Everybody wants a shield.

However,
and this is very important.

If the catapult
isn't built in time,

not only will you not
win the money,

but there will be no opportunity
to play for a shield.

All make sense?

- Mm-hmm.
- Good.

I'm probably going to be
a target for m*rder.

So if there's ever a chance

where I can try to secure
a shield, I'm going to take it.

It's just about
trying to survive.



Let "The Traitors'"
"Cannonball Run" Commence.

- Get the ball.
- Got the ball, right?

Why don't we just
jump over the fence?

[ Laughter,
indistinct talking ]

Everyone knows
I hate this hill.

Last time I was here,
I had a little

"throw my toys out the pram"
moment,

so I feel like Alan is making me
redo this mission on purpose.

I want comfort and leisure.

Why can't we hang out
in the castle?

I can think of about


to make 20 grand.
I could sell a kidney.

Okay, we're going
this way, guys.

Oh, sh*t. Across?
Across the river. You sure?

I didn't expect to
cross it this early.

- How do we get across it?
- Holy sh*t.

- The river is rushing hard.
- Oh, my God.

Look how deep it is over there.

No.
- Oh, Jesus.

It's-- It's strong.
The current is pretty strong.

So this is definitely
a big exercise of teamwork

to make it across.

[ Women screaming ]

- Oh, my goodness.
- Sorry. Sorry, guys. Sorry.

- I'm scared. I'm scared.
- Like a surfboard.

[ Indistinct screaming ]

Here, here. Just do this.
Stay and go like this. You okay?

Across the river, I see a box,
and it says "shield" on it.

I know that I need a shield
during this mission.

I am going for it.
I need a shield.

Please let me get it.

- Listen, are you kidding me?
- No.

Ah. Aw, sh*t.

Oh, she's on the ground.

Bend your knees.

[Bleep]

My sheer determination
and willpower

is what won me that box.

Sorry.
I need it more than you do.

That's not true.

I am hanging on
to this thing.

I'm not going to let anybody
steal it from me.

- You okay? Well done.
- Let's go! Let's go!

Alright.
this is the catapult tray.

- Wait. We got to carry this?
- It's pretty heavy.

I can jump on it.
I can jump on it.

Sandra, can you
grab that bag?

- I will.
- Two stabilizers are here.

Right here, you guys.
- This is so heavy.

Holy sh*t.

Peter, there's all these bags.

I don't want Peter
to get a shield.

We can't m*rder someone
with a shield.

And I want to take out Peter
and hopefully by me another day

in this game.

I needed it.

I don't care what anyone thinks

about me going for a shield box.

Obviously, I'm doing it
for protection.

There's the sled.
We got the sled, guys.

If there's any way
to get a shield,

I'm going to do everything
I can to get it.

Right. Locked and loaded.

Alright, let's go, guys.



Get it, Shereé.
Oh, God. That's heavy, Shereé.

- sh*t.
- Oh, my God.

Oh, yeah, Shereé,
we're not going to be able

to carry both of these.
- I got it.

- Oh, Shereé, you got that?
- You sure, Shereé?

- Is the bag heavier or the box?
- sh*t, the bag.

The bag's heavier.

- I will not die on this hill.
- Go. Pull

- [ Grunts ]
- Don't hurt your back, man.

This thing's heavy.

Manual labor, sweating,
exhaustion, dirt.

That's what
this mission's about...

- Come on.
- This is absolute [bleep] hell.

...but let's face it.
I still have a little

baby weight I want to work off,
so I'll carry this bag of rocks.

- Come on, John.
- Come on.

- Stop!
- sh*t, guys.

Everybody with
their bags,

just put it on here.
Help pull, okay?

Put everything on.
We're good.

Three. Two. One. Go. Pull.
- Come on.

If you went $250,000, this is
where you start paying in sweat.

Heave!

One, two, three and pull.

- Come on.
- One, two, three, and pull.

This is so heavy,

but I have to get it up
to the top of the hill

because I have
to get that shield.

- Ah.
- There you go. Keep it up.

Keep the momentum.

- Come on.
- Ah!

- What?
- Oh, she fell.

- It's okay. Don't worry.
- We're getting you.

We're getting ya.
- Come on.

What's up there?

Holy [bleep]



What do we do
with this thing?

Is that thing going to move?

Y'all, another shield box.

But whose is it? An extra?

- Hey.
- I got one.

The players finally have
all the pieces to the catapult.

Now they only have to get that
catapult up the hill

and all the a*mo boxes.
Pbht!

Three, two.

[ Men grunting ]

- Good job guys, great job.
- Come on! Keep pushing!

This catapult-- it is so hard
just to move it 10 feet.

- Come on.
- Push for 20 more seconds.


Attaboy, Bergie.

I'm just struggling.
I'm gasping for air.

It's one of the hardest things
I've done.

We're almost there.
We're almost there.

Let's be honest.

Does anybody want
to carry a giant catapult

up a g*dd*mn mountain?
No.

Almost there.

I do the things
that nobody wants to do.

We're right there.
We're almost to the top.

- No, there's more.
- [Bleep] off!

I swear to God.

Ah, this is just so taxing.

- Come on, John.
- Now it's rolling.

Yeah, baby.

There you are,
advancing up the hill.

You've just 10 minutes left, players.


- Alan! We're coming, Alan!

- We're coming!
- We're coming!

Okay.
Oh, yeah.

You better believe
I'm going to pick that up,

because I need people to think
that I'm scared

so that I look like
I'm a faithful.

Players, the person who puts
the armor box on this hay bale

will be the person eligible
for protection.

- Aah!
- God damn.

- Oh, my.
- Oh, go. Run, run, run, run.

You guys.

Well done. You've placed
the a*mo box on the hay bale.

You've locked in your place
for the potential shield.

Grab it. Grab it, Kate.
Bring it.

Whoever brings it, gets it.
Come on.

What are you going to do?

I don't really know.

What?

I'm still helping the team
haul the catapult,

and Kate is thinking about
taking my shield box.

Peter.
- Grab it now.

Grab it now. Peter, go.

So I need to run
and go make sure

that I secure it
before she does so.

I want protection,
and I want to survive the night.

Are you going to keep that
for yourself

or give it to someone?

Who do you think deserves it?

No one.

To attempt to get a shield,

I just have to put
the box on the hay.

I don't want
to put the box on the hay.

Fighting for a shield
just feels so desperate.

You've locked in your a*mo box.

Bravo. You will be playing
for a shield.

Use the instructions to get
the catapult assembled quickly,,

players, if you're to have any
chance of winning that shield.

Get the wheel chocks
put at the front

and the back of the wheels.

Yep. Like this.
- Five minutes remaining.

Five minutes.

"Attach stabilizers
to either side of the catapult."

Time is ticking, players.
Time is ticking.

"-Wind the crank wheel away
from the boom."

Hurry.
Quick, quick, quick.

Crank it. Crank it.

Come on, come on,
come on, come on.

Clip the ball sling
to the catapult boom.

Put the ball in,
and you're done.

- Like this.
- There you go.

There we go. There we go.
There we go.

Choose the player who will
launch the golden cannonball.

Choose a player.

Go! Hey! Go, John!

Let's go, John!

Come on, John!

Ready? Okay, John,
are you ready?

[ Indistinct shouting ]
Do it, do it, do it.

[ Cheers and applause ]

To pull the catapult

is probably the single most
exciting moment in the game.

I'm on cloud nine.

You've won $20,000.

Bravo, Bravo. You've just
won $20,000 for the prize pot.

[ Cheers and applause ]
- Let's go.

- But now...
- Uh-oh.

...who locked in one of
the shield a*mo boxes?

Sandra, Peter, Shereé,
Parvati, and Trishelle.

Sandra, you're first.

Just to remind you, there is
only one shield to be won.

The person who gets the ball
closest to the center

of the target
down there will win

that shield and protection
from tonight's m*rder.

Ready? Fire!

- Yeah!
- Oh-ho-ho!

- Oh!
- Wow.

The ball to mark your spot.
Next up, Parvati.

Okay. Ready? Fire!

Wow.
- That's close.

Yeah, it's right next to mine.

Next up, Trishelle.
Fire for your life!

- Ooh.
- Oh, that's high.

I sh*t and missed.
I-I'm pissed.

[ Exhales sharply ]

Next up, Shereé.

Shereé, fling for your life!

- Come on, Shereé.
- Oh, no. Let's see.

- It hit it.
- [ Laughs ]

The catapult
has been flung four times.

Currently, the person
who is nearest is Shereé.

Alright. Congratulations.

However, there's still
one person to go. Peter.

Man, it's now or never.

I need to be able
to protect myself.

And just having a shield
would make me feel so good.

Ooh, the tension.

Fling for your life, Peter.



Come on.

- Oh.
- That was shorter.

I'm so happy Peter
didn't get a shield.

He's onto me, he's on my scent,
and he's dangerous to my game,

so I have to get him
out of here.

Congratulations.
Shereé has won a shield.

- Whoo!
- Alright! Yeah!

And you are safe
from m*rder tonight.

I've never gotten
a shield before,

so I am going to sleep
so freaking good tonight

knowing that I cannot
be m*rder*d.

Players, that was epic.

You successfully catapulted
$20,000 into the prize pot.

[ Cheers and applause ]

That makes your current
total $95,500.

- Alright.
- Alright.

Go back to the castle
and relax.

Not too much, though,
as tonight, we will reconvene

around our very own b*ttlefield,
the round table.

And by the end of that, one more
of you will be banished.

Toodles.
Off you go.

- Alright. Yeah! Whoo!
- Whoo!



That sh*t was hard.
It was a lot.

Even you admit it was tough.

Yeah, I mean,
look how far away we were

from the castle at the end.
- So while we're in the car,

what do you guys think
about voting Dan tonight?

I am more certain
about Parvati.

She's been on my radar
since day one.

She so is.

Do you think Dan's still
on the chopping block?

- Yes.
- Heck, yeah.

- Really?
- Yeah.

He hasn't done anything, though.

Dan, how are you
feeling about tonight?

Yeah, what's going through
your mind, Dan?

No, I mean, like,
I know I'm under the g*n.

Just kind of seeing where the
chips lay at the round table.

Even though Peter thinks
I'm 99.9% a traitor,

I will never quit.

If I can present a decent
argument to him and everyone,

then I can convince them
that I'm not a traitor.

Let's see what happens
at tonight's round table.

Can I just ask
you guys something?

Can the m*rder tonight
be painless?

- Why are you asking me that?
- I kind of see

the writing on the wall.

Get off my back, Peter.

He wants me out of this game.

You can't do that
and stay alive.

So he's going to have to die.



- Ah, Peter.
- This is my last meal, guys.

This is going to be good.

I will tell you, it's either
Dan or Parvati for tonight.

Hello, madam.

Hold on one second.
Let's close this real quick.

- Um, can I come in?
- Do you mind? One second?

- Oh, my God.
- Thanks.

Peter is on this moral crusade.

He's playing this
holier-than-thou act

where he's the leader
of the faithfuls,

and he's the most faithful
of the faithful.

Maybe it's not Dan,
but I'm confident, Parvati.

- I am, too.
- I feel like she's a traitor.

Yeah, I'll get Parvati.

Peter is going to
single handedly

lead these faithfuls to safety
and crush all the traitors.

And you know what?

I don't like the game
that Peter is playing...

Oh, my God, what is happening?
- Sorry about that.

...and I would really like
to get rid of Peter.

I want to break
that group apart.

What's going on in here?

[ Exhales sharply ]

Scheming. Wheeling, dealing.
- Scheming? Plotting? Planning?

Well, where's everyone's
heads at?

Fill me in.

Bergie?
- [ Chuckles ]

Definitely Dan's name
is definitely out there.

And my name is out there?
Is that what you're saying?

Are you--
you're saying but not saying?

Saying but not saying, yep.

Yeah, I know that.
My name's been out there,

so I'm really not surprised.

It's very suspicious
that you, you, you,

Kevin, and Trishelle
are all locked in together.

It's possible that one of you
could be a traitor.

Yeah, right.
I could definitely be a traitor.

Yeah.

Poverty's good at deceiving,
at lying,

and we're already onto her.

But what's your instinct
tonight, Parvati?

I have been trusting Dan,

but I don't trust
really anyone 100%.

I don't think we can,
any of us.



I'm just trying to survive
minute by minute.

I need 100% strategy
to save my neck.

The faithfuls, they're on
the hunt to find a traitor.

All asking from you tonight...
- Yeah.

- ...is just for an open ear.
- Mm-hmm.

When I state my case--

I don't know who all
the traitors are,

but I've been working on
this one person

who I'm, like, 100%...
- Okay.

...and I have
to take this sh*t.

You saying you're going
to wait until the

round table to tell us?
- Yeah.

Can you at least consider
what I'm saying?

Yeah, that's fine.

I came out of retirement
for over a decade for this.

I'm willing to do
whatever it takes.

Its time for me to go
after one of my own traitors.

You got a second?
- Yeah.

At the round table,
it will be a big shock,

but this is what I do.

When I hit him
with the left hook,

I got a sh*t to knock them out.

If I make a compelling,

evidence-based argument...
- Mm-hmm.

...on who I think it is
and why, you'll at least--

I'm going in there
open-minded.

Okay. Alright.

[ Wolf howls ]

♪ He was a dead man
walking to his fate ♪

♪ Vengeance was sweet
on my tongue ♪

Whew, the heat is raining
down upon the traitors,

but I am not one
to lie down and die.

I am not one to give up.

It's every traitor
for themselves.

Going into this round table,

I am feeling very confident
in my plan.

I am going to fight like hell
to try to spread the truth.

One step closer to finally
having this castle crumble

and the traitors being revealed.

They're all telling me
they want a name tonight.

It's time to take my sh*t
and let the fireworks fly.



Players, welcome to
the round table,

and debate tonight
around here we must.

The prize pot may be up
to $95,500,

but if any traitors remain
at the end of our deadly game,

they will take it all.

But this is the place
where you can strike back

against those murderers
by deliberating,

detecting, and deciding just
who is a predator in your pack.

Let the debate commence.



Alright.

I'll say this.

Since day one,

I've been watching
one person...



...and it's time
for that to come out.



You have to remember, I've been
collecting information.

So let's play a little game.

I have one question
for everyone.

Raise your hand if your name
has been written down

at least once
on this chalkboard.

Okay, I'm looking at
the least suspicious people

based on actions.

So, Bergie, your name's
never been written down.

Shereé, your name's
never been written down.

Phaedra's hasn't.

Sandra, yours hasn't.

And Parvati.

That's not enough
to convict someone,

but that's where I start.

Next thing,
look at voting patterns.

Has anyone voted anything
a little weird?

Let's go with Sandra.

Every one of Sandra's votes
has banished someone,

but she always
explained herself,

so she's out of the equation.

Shereé had one weird vote
with John,

but she explained it,
so she's out of the equation.

Bergie-- Bergie just kind of
goes with the crowd.

So that leaves Parvati...

...and Phaedra.



Parvati, your only vote outside
of the norm was for Kevin...

...but you explained
what that was about.

You said you were
suspect of him.

Still am suspect.

So then that leaves one person.



Phaedra.



Phaedra's had one vote
that hasn't been explained.

She voted out Ekin-Su.

No one's ever
questioned her on it.

And then next day, Ekin-Su
magically gets m*rder*d.

Okay, so we have someone
who's not suspecting

and a weird vote.
Okay, that's still not enough.

The next thing--
breakfast reactions.

First time it stood out to me--

Marcus gets m*rder*d.
Where was Phaedra?

I don't know if she's sitting
next to her,

but she walked around,
went over to Larsa,

"Sweetie, it's okay.
Everything's okay."

What?

Tamra gets voted out.

Does anyone remember
what she said?

"They're coming
after the Housewives."

Today, Bergie, we thought
you got m*rder*d.

"Oh, not my Bergalicious."

So there's another weird
breakfast reaction.

Are you freaking
kidding me?

My point is,
you will never get brought up

because everyone likes you,

and to me, that is
the most suspect thing.

Those are my reasons,

and that's who I've been
watching from day one.



So you've been watching me
from day one?

Yeah.

No one's ever written
your name down.

Why do you think that is?

No one's ever written a lot
of people's name down.

That doesn't mean
they're a traitor.

Voting patterns-- can you
explain the Ekin-Su vote?

I voted for Ekin-Su
because of the issue

she had with Janelle
because she changed her story.

Everybody knows that.

And then what about
the breakfast m*rder reactions?

Every time.

What breakfast
m*rder reactions?

Uh, Bergie.

"Not my Bergalicious,"
was problematic for you.

- The Marcus--
- Marcus?

Consoling Larsa
was problematic for you.

- Because I'm consoling Larsa?
- Yeah.

A fellow Housewife?
What was I supposed to do?

That her boyfriend
got sent home?

- I'm just-- These are--
- No, I don't understand this.

Yeah.

- It was just--
- What's the logic behind that?

The logic behind me
is that it's always, like

a little bit extra, like--
- Have you seen her?

That's-- That's true.

[ Chuckles ]

I'm very extra, baby.

I do too much
'cause you do too little.

But tonight
you're doing way too much

because you know you're
getting ready to get banished.

So you're trying to put the heat
on me, which is a crock of B.S.

You're a "Big Brother" winner.
Not once, but twice.

Almost twice.

Well, either way, you have
knowledge of this game.

So if there was really
a mastermind,

it sure wouldn't be
a dolled-up housewife, baby.

That would not be it.

Let's not forget Bergalicious
voted for you last night.

And who got the m*rder one?
Bergalicious.

Why? Because Dan thought
that he was able to be m*rder*d.

Is that not correct?

The only thing that's
a little obvious, though--

Okay, but why would
I want him out?

I don't have any problems
with Bergie.

I didn't say
you wanted him out.

You're saying I'm the k*ller.

I think if Phaedra
was thinking long game,

she would keep me around
because I trust her.

Yeah.
- Okay, that's a fair defense.

But no one trusts you, darling.

And I didn't know anything
about who had the shield.

I told Dan,
I told Parvati, and I told C.T.

Obviously, one of you three
has to be a traitor.

That's for sure.

I really don't think C.T. is.
I really don't.

I obviously have my suspicions
with you two,

and I believe
this is my last night

because I was so vocal today.

I made very bold statements,
and I think I'm on to it.

And if I get m*rder*d,
use that as proof.

I will also say
what's been going on today

is there has been a really
strong clique that has emerged.

So if you're not in
Peter's group, then guess what?

You're probably
going to get m*rder*d

or you're going to get banished.
- Exactly.

All the traitors try to do is
to divide us, and I feel like--

They're doing a good job
right now.

They're doing a good job.
They're trying to

throw out names...
- Guys, please stay strong here.

...to throw us off guard.

We're going to get the traitors
out, and that's our goal.

I mean, end of the day,
you guys know me.

I was quiet. I took my sh*t.

So now you have to pick.

I'll just say something else.

The reason why I was trusting
Dan was because...

She's trying to separate
right now.

Do not buy this, guys.
- ...was because--

- Do not buy this.
- Can I finish, Peter?

It doesn't feel good
to be falsely accused.

It's very off-putting, and we've
seen multiple faithfuls

sit right here
and defend themselves,

and they have been faithful.

I did trust Dan.
The reason why I trusted Dan

was because he and I started
talking together on day one.

He is such a great game player

and I may have trusted
the wrong person.

Please don't buy that.

Players, time for talk is over.

It's now time to vote.

Players,

time for talk is over.



It's now time to vote.



This is the first time
at the round table

when I'm very concerned.

It's almost like I can feel
every little scratch and scrape

of that chalk on the slate.

I am furious with Dan,

but I guess there is
no honor amongst thieves.

I hope there's enough
suspicion going on with Dan

that I can shake the target
that's now placed on me.



The votes are locked.

We're going to begin
with Phaedra.

Who do you think
is a traitor, and why?

Well, it's obvious that

tonight I would be voting
for Dan.

He's been dodging questions,
dodging answers,

and just going right up
under the radar.

But, baby, you deflected
on the wrong one

'cause you're going
to learn tonight.

Sandra.

Dan, I voted for you.

I think you're a traitor
because of all the evidence

put out here at the round table.

Peter.

Uh, my vote is for you, Parvati.

I was confident we had
enough votes for Dan tonight,

and if this is
my last night here,

I don't want people
to forget that

only you two--
well, C.T., as well,

but I'm very confident
he's a faithful.

You two knew
the information that was leaked,

and I just want to make sure
that the faithful win this.

So that's two votes for Dan
and one vote for Parvati.

John, who do you think
is a traitor and why?

My vote is for Dan.

I listened intently to you, Dan, tonight,

and your deflection
was on to Phaedra,

and that case was
comprehensively rebutted.

Treachery deserves
to be punished by banishment.

Banishment, my dear friend,
should be your fate tonight.

This guy is
the silent slaughterer,

and that's the sum of it.

Yes.

Parvati, who do you think
is a traitor and why?

My vote's for Dan.

Um, it was either you
or me tonight, clearly.

And, you know, we'll let
the chips fall where they may.

Kevin.

Dan, I'm sorry, man.

I, uh, really wanted to hear
what you had to say,

and I just wasn't convinced.

I'm sorry, Dan.
- I understand.

Trishelle.

Dan, I voted for you

Tonight, you met your match. Sorry.

Dan, who do you think
is a traitor and why?

My vote is for Phaedra.

Maybe I should have known
better to go up against

such an elegant lawyer.

So that's six votes for Dan,

one for Parvati,
and one vote for Phaedra.

- C.T.
- My vote's for Dan.

Shereé.

Dan.

Bergie.

Dan, your name is still
on my chalkboard.

- Kate.
- I haven't been here

long at all, so I don't have
a lot to go off of.

And finally, M.J., who do you
think is a traitor and why?

Dan, you were one
of my first votes.

I think you did your best
to fly under the radar.

If you're not a traitor,
I'm going to lose my sh*t.

Dan, you have received
the most votes

and are banished
from the game.

Please come forward
to the Circle of Truth.

How dare you?
You pull that shenanigans?

He learned tonight.
Oh, he learned.



Dan...

before you leave my castle
forever, please reveal to us.

Are you a faithful or a traitor?

You know, I've been
on "Big Brother" twice,

and, you know, I think
I'm pretty good at that game.

No one's ever written my name
down once in two seasons,

and a lot of people
did here today.

Unfortunately for me,
I am a traitor.

- Yeah, baby!
- Have fun. Have fun.

Oh, my God. Oh, my.
We finally did it.

- Oh, my God.
- Bye.

Whoo-hoo!

- Oh, my God.
- Finally.

- Bye.
- Pete, Pete, Pete.

Cheers. We got him.
[ All cheer ]

- Cheers to the faithful.
- Cheers, Cheers.

Cheers. Cheers.
- Cheers, Kevin.

Whoo!

I can see why not many people
have gone toe-to-toe

with Phaedra and won.

Man, she shredded me tonight
at the round table.

I've been in retirement
for 10 years,

and it took a very special game

like "The Traitors"
to bring me out of it.

But in this game, as a traitor,
you cannot make one mistake.

And I made
a huge mistake tonight.

Finally, you have done
what you had here for--

trapped and tracked
and banished a traitor.

Bravo, faithful. At last.

A quite stunning move.

But don't get too comfortable.

- Oh, God.
- Oh, no.

You never know what might
happen in my twisted game.

The traitors are weakened.

But beware, a predator
is most dangerous when wounded,

and they'll be looking
to inflict some wounds

of their own later
this evening.

Wounds one of you
will not walk away from.

I'll leave the big light
on for you.

Thank you, Jesus. Finally.

Dan waited so long
to say anyone's name,

and at that point
he called out Phaedra.

I think that he knew that
we needed to be fed a traitor,

and I think that Phaedra
is a traitor

and no one's even suspecting it.

Let's go celebrate.

Let's go.
[ All cheer ]

Let's go celebrate.

- Good job.
- Whoo!

Yeah, she was getting fired up.
You were over there steaming.

- That was amazing.
- We got him.

- Look at your face.
- We banished a traitor!

It feels absolutely wonderful.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- Celebrate. Yes.
- Oh, cheers. Cheers.

- Hey, C.T., we got one, baby.
- Yes, sir. We got one.

The way you carry yourself
is something else.

Did you have much advance notice
of what was going to be said?

- Heck, no.
- You just reacted and--

Yeah, I had no idea.

Yeah, absolutely.

Girl, you've been
put through the ringer.

Hey, come here, guys.
Come here, come here, come here.

You want to know
something funny?

The traitors lost twice today.

- Oh, right. Yeah.
- No m*rder, banishment.

The trap worked tonight,

and I have my group of faithfuls
that I have all my trust in.

And I'm going to try to survive
as long as possible.

One of us is going.
One of us is going. 100%.

I don't know what our nickname
is going to be for our crew.

Obviously,
it's becoming very obvious

that we all love each other.
- 100%.

Should we go see
what the five most faithful

of the faithful are doing?

Exactly.
[ Laughter ]

- Let's go.
- They're not here.

So wait. So now it's--
we got rid of Dan.

Parvati is next.

- 100%. You know what?
- Oh, my God.

Imagine a secret meeting
of the not-alliance.

What are you talking about?
We guessed right today.

Surprise, surprise,

look who is surrounding
each other.

Are you going to control
this game till the end of time?

You're a real bloodhound, Peter.

I'm trying to win.

Those five have made it
very clear

that they're going to
stick together no matter what.

I'm just saying it's a bit weird
that you come in here

and shut the door.

It's like you're putting off
a lot of people by doing that.

But really,
it's me versus Peter,

and I'm going to take
that Bachelor down.

Oh, Jesus. What the hell?

Oh, it's you, Alan.

Oh, you scared the devil

We need some support.

Traitors, I'm sorry to break
up your little soiree,

but I have news.

With Dan banished
and your numbers down to two,

as the rules dictate, you have
the opportunity to recruit.

Tonight, you must either m*rder
a faithful

or try and seduce one
to join you as a traitor.

Oh.

Either/or.

If you wish to seduce
a faithful,

all you need to do
is write their name

on this anonymous invitation,
and I will deliver it to them.

That faithful then has a choice.

They can either accept
or refuse your offer.

If they accept,
they will join you tonight.

If they refuse, then they will
carry on as a faithful.

- [ Gasps ] Ugh.
- But, remember,

if you choose to seduce,

there will be no m*rder.

- [ Exhales slowly ]
- Traitors, make your decision

quickly but wisely,
because after tonight,

nothing will ever be
the same again.



[ Exhales slowly ]

- Oh, God.
- This is a big decision.

Do we want to recruit tonight
or do we want to

m*rder somebody?
- I don't know.

I think we have to recruit
to shake it up.

I want to take a risk.
I want to roll the dice.

Alright, girl,
shake it up, then.

Okay, so who
would you choose?

Wow, that's a tough one.

Okay, here's my idea.

We seduce Peter,

recruit him as a traitor,

and we start turning the
tables around on these people

who he's been working with.

I want the person who's been
putting a lot of suspicion

on me on my side.

There is a possibility
that Peter would throw me

under the bus,
so that is a risk.

Mm-mm.
Just because we seduce him

does not mean
all the other people forget.

They're not going
to forget anyways.

My fate is my fate.
I'm really good at surviving.

I just don't know
if I trust Peter.

I thought it would be so fun
to recruit him

and turn the most blue-blood
faithful detective

against his own posse

and watch him m*rder
his friends.

[ Both laugh ]

- Jesus Christ.
- I know.

You want to recruit
the crazy Bachelor pilot?

I really do.
Are you good with that?

'Cause you've had
a tough day, too.

I've definitely had
a tough day,

but you're on your deathbed.

I'm walking into the hospital.

You're in the ICU, baby.

so do what you want to do.

I'm going to follow.
