02x12 - Reunion

[bunniefuu]

♪♪

Well, hello, my darlings.

Here we are at the heart
of where it all began.

My gruesome gothic castle.

Echoing with whispers
of betrayal,

manipulation, and m*rder.

If you get m*rder*d,
it might be by my look,

but it won't be
because I'm a traitor.

- Ohh!
- [ Imitates whip cracking ]

Push comes to shove, we'll
definitely m*rder each other.

- Johnny Bananas.
- Ooh!

He gives "repo man" vibes.

[ Laughs ]

- First m*rder. How do you feel?
- Exhilarated.

[ Laughs ]

"We have chosen you
to join us as a traitor."

- [ Laughs ]
- Ohh! What?! No!

Sandra and I are meeting again

for the first time
in a long time.

Maybe we'll see who's
the queen of the traitors.

From the hushed secrets
in these stone corridors...

to the alliances
built and ripped apart...

This man has a poker face
that could fool a clown.

I am a faithful.

You kind of went around
your elbow to get to your ass.

I think the cheers was weird.

I think how selfish you are
is weird!

- Knock, knock.
- Give us one minute.

Our famous game players
have been on quite the journey.

[ All screaming ]

- Aah!
- Aah!

There's a new guest
in my castle.

Oh, my God. Tell me everything.
Who do we hate?

- I hate bitchy girls.
- Ekin-Su sucks.

- I know you're a selfish person.
- I find you highly annoying.

I actually care about
a lot of these people,

but they must die.

- Poisoned chalice.
- Black-widow time.

This is right up my alley.

Death waits for no player.

Oh, my Lord. Sweet baby Jesus.
Not Ekin-Su.

You're acting like a traitor.

- You're a [bleep] traitor.
- You're a [bleep] traitor.

Who has the capacity
to perform this part?

Housewives.
Don't do that, Parvati.

We can be in this game
together,

but you're gonna play fair,
both of you.

- I'm saying Janelle.
- I'm a faithful, you idiots!

You have to take out Bergie.
- That's my Bergilicious.

Aah! Bergie!

- I have the shield.
- Checkmate.

It's always, like,
a little bit extra.

Bergilicious
was problematic for you.

I'm very extra, baby. I do too
much 'cause you do too little.

This guy is
the silent slaughterer.

- I am a traitor.
- Yeah!

It doesn't feel good
to be falsely accused.

- Please don't buy that.
- Can I finish, Peter?

You in the ICU, baby.
You about to flatline.

Let's just light this place
on fire.

"We wish to recruit you
as a traitor."

Peter refused
your attempt at seduction.

- [ Sighs ]
- I am not a faithful.

I'm a traitor.
- Yes!

Hello, Kate. I think you'll
make a crazy-cool k*ller.

I accept.

You're on the block.
You're leaning towards me.

Yeah.

Peter puts the "dic"
in dictator.

- [ Chuckles ]
- This is not "The Bachelor."

And I don't have to
kiss your ass for a rose.

You're the only person that
I'm 100% sure of that's left.

They shouldn't trust me.

I would throw any of them
in the moat in a second.

Honestly, are you a traitor?

I am the most fabulous...

traitor!

You're my last traitor
standing, Kate.

I bet I could convince them.

Guys, the final traitor is Alan.

But what's a story
without its final chapter?

Tonight we are going deeper
than Loch Ness

for a very special reunion

where truths are as sharp
as castle spires

and revelations more dramatic
even than my wardrobe.

But alas, while this castle

has been the stage
for our game of treachery,

it's time for me
to close up for the season

and hand over
to the indomitable,

the unparalleled...
Mr. Andy Cohen.

Andy, are you ready
to unleash the drama?

♪♪

Hey, everybody.

Welcome to "The Traitors"
season-two reunion.

I'm your host, Andy Cohen.

Tonight, the treacherous game

reached its jaw-dropping
conclusion,

but the faithfuls and traitors
sitting here

haven't seen the ending
and don't know who won.

We're going to watch it
in a few minutes,

but first
let's welcome the cast.

Hey, Johnny Bananas.
- How are we doing, Andy?

Peppermint.
Wow. You look beautiful.

What were you going for tonight?

- Fashion.
- Yes.

[ Laughter ]

You succeeded.
- Thank you.

Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen.
Great to see you.

- Nice seeing you, too.
- Great to see you, too.

- Hey, Janelle.
- Hey!

Just a reminder-- there are
no shields to run after.

Are you sure?

[ Laughter ]

Hi, Pilot Pete.

Hey, Andy.
What's going on, man?

"Sweet baby Jesus.
Not Ekin-Su." Hi, Ekin-Su.

- Hi, Andy. How are you?
- I'm great.

Bergie.
May I call you "Bergilicious"?

You can call me Bergilicious
any time.

Thank you.
John, it's great to see you.

Hey, Deontay.
- Hey. What's going on?

- Great to see you. Hey, Kevin.
- Andy.

- Hey, SHE by Shereé.
- Hey, Andy.

- Great to see you.
- Always.

- Hi, Sandra.
- Hello. How are you, Andy?

- I love your glow-up.
- Thank you.

Yes! Hi, Tamra.
Great to see you.

Hi, Phaedra.
- Hello, darling.

Boy, you've come full circle

from being a funeral director
to a cold-blooded k*ller.

I was embalming by day...
and night.

- Yes, you were. Hi, Parvati.
- Hi, Andy.

No headband tonight.

You know, I thought people

would be looking
for the headband,

so I want to keep people
on their toes, Andy.

- Okay. Hey, Dan.
- Hey, Andy.

- How are you feeling?
- I'm ready to go.

You are?

[ Laughter ]

I don't buy that for a second.

And as a matter of fact,

I know that you're actually
a little nervous tonight.

Yeah, I'm just excited
to talk about the game

and get into that a little bit.

- Clear the air.
- Alright.

Unfortunately,
Max couldn't join us tonight.

Obviously,
we're missing the final four,

and that's because our cast
hasn't seen the finale yet.

Okay, folks, are you ready
to find out who won?

- Yes!
- Yes!

Okay. So we're all going to
watch this together.

Let's go. Let's roll it.

Welcome to the Fire of Truth.

By sunrise,
this will all be over,

so make this evening count.

Who do you believe
should be banished?

Trishelle, I voted for you.

Kate, I voted for you.

My vote's for Kate.

Kate, are you a faithful
or a traitor?

I am a traitor.

- [ Laughs ]
- Yes!

Oh, my God.
We got the traitor out.

We're three faithfuls.

Let's end the game
and start celebrating.

Oh, my God. Thank God.

So, is there anyone
standing here

who causes
the slightest flicker of doubt?

M.J., let the Fire of Truth

reveal your decision.

Trishelle.

- [ Gasps ]
- C.T.

Hm.

- Oh, my God.
- Wow.

- Oh, no.
- What the [bleep]?

There's only one person here
that I'm willing to trust

to share that pot of gold with.

Players, you must now vote
for the final time.

[Bleep]

♪♪

I don't know what to do.

I chose M.J.

I just wouldn't trust anybody
in this castle unless it's her.

I voted for you, Trishelle.
It was a Sophie's Choice.

That's it.
- This is a hard one. C.T.

- Oh!
- Oh, my God.

What?!

- Go!
- [ Chuckles ]

Players, you will now vote
one more time

to break this deadlock.

♪♪

- This sucks.
- I voted for M.J. again.

- Damn!
- She's not sharing that money.

M.J., who do you believe
should be banished and why?

Nobody.
Because we're faithfuls.

But... Trishelle.

Trishelle?

M.J.

- [ Laughs ]
- Ohh!

Ooh!

I don't want you
to be banished,

but it was so hard for me
to write his name down

the first time.
I couldn't do it twice.

♪♪

M.J., reveal to us.

Are you a faithful...
or a traitor?

♪♪

I'm a faithful.

What?!

- Wow.
- The end.

♪♪

Oh, I'm so heartbroken.

♪♪

Hoo!

So I hope that makes you guys
feel great.

It shouldn't have ended
this way.

That's a plot twist
of a lifetime.

I hope they regret it.

[ Sighs ]

Now we must find out
who you truly are.

Faithful. Faithful, faithful,
faithful, faithful, baby.

Let's go!

Yay!

I'm a faithful, obviously.

- [ Laughs ]
- Oh!

Congratulations.
You have won "The Traitors."

- Ohh!
- [ Laughs ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

- Wow.
- Wow.

- Wow.
- Damn.

- That's intense.
- What do we think?

- Two Gamers win.
- That was intense.

My heart aches for M.J.
'cause I know how much...

- Yeah.
- ...he really wanted to win.

I feel like the Gamers
play the game differently

than, like, other people
that are on the reality shows.

- Right.
- For us, we want to be on TV.

Like, we want to have fun
and enjoy the moment.

And I feel like, you know,
the Gamers, at the end,

they'll do anything to win.
- Right.

- What did you think, Gamers?
- I thought it was poetic

that Johnny
was the first person m*rder*d

and his friends won in the end.
- Hey, man.

I wondered how you felt
about that.

That's who I was riding with
from the beginning.

I was just happy
that they did it.

It would be the same way
if you came with other people

from "Survivor."
You wouldn't want to see

anyone else win other
than people from your own...

- Totally deserving.
- I would've been proud.

I want to talk to M.J.
She had--

The game was right
in front of her.

All she had to do
was make the right vote.

And I want to know
why she made that decision.

So, my instinct
is that C.T. and Trishelle

are completely deserving
winners.

They worked together,
and they were consistent.

I can understand
M.J. being upset,

but has she any right
to be aggrieved?

Absolutely not.

Alright. It's time to bring
out the final four players,

including our winners.

And here they come.

Whoo!

[ Cheers and applause ]

♪♪

Hi.

You look good.

♪♪

Alright. C.T. and Trishelle,
congratulations on your big win.

We're gonna need
a bigger couch.

- [ Laughter ]
- This dress...

- First thing, huh?
- By the way, at the end,

it kind of almost seemed
like a rom com, too.

I felt like--
[ Laughter ]

I mean, I felt
something there between you.

I cried. Like, I mean,
whenever I saw C.T.'s face,

it was just, like,
my heart sank.

Manipulation. Totally.

- Ooh.
- Oh, boy. What did she say?

- Hi, M.J.
- Hi, cutie pie.

How are you feeling watching
that again, reliving it?

Bamboozled.
Like, grifter energy.

- Hi, Kate.
- Hi!

Well, you made it
to the fire pit this time.

I know. Progress.

When you left,
how were you feeling?

I felt good because I just
didn't feel like coming in

halfway through
and being a late recruit.

It would have been right
for me to win.

And I felt like the three people
that were left at the fire pit,

all three of them,
deserved to win.

M.J., when the fire turned red

and you realized
as the three of you stood there

that there would be
another vote,

did you feel like
that was it for you?

Well, they all knew that
we were all faithfuls.

- I didn't.
- So when you decide--

I thought C.T. might be
a traitor.

Then you should have followed
through with that.

But then we were gonna be
at a stalemate

for the second time,
so somebody had to change.

Alright. We're gonna get
into this a little more later.

Um, given all of your history
between the two of you,


how did that feel at the end?

I can't express how much, uh,
how much the show meant to me.

It was so much fun to film.
And for what it's worth,

I really enjoyed playing
the game with everybody.

And I have to give credit
where it's due.

Uh, for all you
so-called non-Gamers,

you did a really good job.

And, M.J., you played
an amazing game.

Then you should have
finished it the right way.

I'm not gonna fight
with you, M.J.

I'm trying to
show you love here.

Alright. Um, I want to start
at the beginning, guys.

I want to start
at the beginning, okay?

Who did you recognize
once you got into the castle?

I know, Trishelle--
You're a big Bravo fan.

Was there anyone here
that you were excited to see

at first
or scared to see at first?

Uh, Phaedra
has always been, like,

one of my favorites on--
of the Housewives,

so I was definitely excited
to see her.

Tamra. I knew that
she was gonna be cool.

Um, actually, yeah,
all the Bravo ladies.

And they live up
to the hype in person, too,

which I was so excited about.

Kevin,
I have a question for you.

How do you pronounce
the woman to my right's name?

- Come on!
- Uh, I called her "Party"

for a long time
because I couldn't...

Yeah, 'cause
I couldn't pronounce it.

Okay. And then that
moved to "Poverty."

And then it was "Parverty."
It's Parvati, right?

And then it was "Brawvity."

[ Laughter ]

Phaedra, you call C.T.
your castle daddy.

Tell me about your relationship.

- Ow!
- Whoo, whoo!

So, I called him
"Castle daddy"

because he ended up
being the last man standing.

- Okay.
- But we had the sweetest

relationship because, initially,
when he got in the car with us,

our car kept breaking down,

and I thought
he was the mechanic.

[ Laughter ]

I was like--
Because he was-- he was--

They had mechanics--

So I was the repo man
and he was the the mechanic.

I mean, I'm just being honest.
And so--

It was the most sweetest,
innocent connection ever.

I mean, he's just
a really good guy.

A lot of viewers thought
that there were sparks

between the two of you, C.T.
- Uh-oh.

Well, I-- When you meet people
on a game like this,

you don't know
what's real and what's not.

And I do think we were--
we were definitely--

Uh, we were bonding, for sure.

And she might have been
playing the game a little bit,

batting those
big-ass lashes around

and trying to, um, you know,
keep me close.

- Damsel in distress?
- For sure.

I can honestly say,
if it wasn't for her,

I don't think I would have
lasted nearly as long, for sure.

Thank you for that.

By the way, Ekin-Su,
I hear you're recently single.

- Ooh!
- Ooh!

During your time
in the castle--

Did anyone catch your eye
during your time in the castle?

[ Laughter ]

I, um--

Look, guys. Um, everyone did.

- Everyone did?
- Everyone did. Yeah.

Obviously, yeah.

John, you saw something
brewing, didn't you?

Ohh!

There was a relationship
of potential bliss.

- Between?
- Between Ekin-Su and Peter.

I just saw on social media

that Peter's mother
posted a picture.

Went to lunch with Ekin-Su.
- Okay.

Listen. We-- We are
really good friends.

- We're very good friends.
- We're good friends.

Well, some of the best
relationships start as friends.

Guys, this is not
"Love Island."

It's "The Traitors."
Wrong show, kids.

Bananas, you've been so
successful on "The Challenge"

and are no stranger
to winning competition shows.

I have to imagine
being m*rder*d first sucked.

I'm used to competing
against people

who want to compete,
not people who are--

uh, you know,
who lack the self-esteem

and the ego to actually
go head-to-head with people.

- Oh, boy.
- Bananas, you were--

you were too quick,
too sharp, too resourceful,

and too dangerous for Dan.

And for that reason,
you were m*rder*d.

- Can I respond?
- That reason...

Here's a guy who lived his
entire life on reality TV,

has won a boatload of shows, okay?

And he's got his best friend
in the game,

so one of them has to go.

- Best friend?
- C.T.

We're besties? Dude, me and him
have never trusted each other

a day in our lives.

So, for me,
I got to break these guys up.

I got a wild card...
or C.T., who's very methodical.

- Right.
- And he was the move.

And to keep him in the game
is dangerous.

I hope you saw that
out of respect, not
out of anything else.

I didn't. I didn't. No.

Garrett in Canarsie said,
"Shereé and Kevin

were hilarious
during the bird-call challenge.

Can you give us
your best bird call right now?

[ Whooping ]

Err-err, err-err!

[ Laughter ]

Parvati, the Internet exploded

with people talking
about the "Parvati Face."

Who knows what that looks like?

- I do.
- What is it?

- It's that.
- Yeah.

She would walk in rooms
and sort of...

Mm-hmm.

[ Laughter ]

- It's--
- Ekin-Su?

It's like this.

[ Laughter ]

I didn't know that I make
this face, and Ekin goes--

[as Ekin-Su]
"Are you aware that you pout

and squint
when you're thinking?"

Nice try with the accent.

[ Laughter ]

Coming up...

You and Parvati had said that
you wanted me out of the game.

- And your reaction was...?
- Piece of sh*t.

I don't regret my choices.
I regret their choices.

So she's still clearly...

I think she's a bit taken aback
by just...

- Yeah, I am.
- ...how bitter you seem to be.

It's a game. Game. Game.
End of.

♪♪

Welcome back to "The Traitors"
season-two reunion.

Deontay, fans are used to
seeing you in a boxing ring,

but this was a new arena
for you,

and you showed
a more vulnerable side.

What was the experience like
playing the game for you?

It was challenging, right?

Yeah, it was. It was.
It was a great game.

A great game with a lot
of beautiful people here.

You know what I mean?

I really had a great time
while I was here.

I got to know a lot of-- All
these guys I interacted with.

But at that moment in time,
being in the circumstances

of the game, you know,

being isolated from people
at times and stuff like that,

it was very difficult,
very hard.

And I dealt with
a lot of childhood trauma.

I was finally able to release
a childhood trauma,

something that money,
opportunities--

You know what I mean?

Just the publicity
cannot buy for me.

- Right.
- And I got an ultimate prize.

And I don't regret nothing
that happened to me.

And I thank God for it.
- Good.

And I thank Phaedra
for her being there for me

at that time that she was.

Was Phaedra
a big support for you?

Oh, my goodness.
You know what I mean?

I'll never forget her.
I love you so much.

I appreciate you so much.

Um, Kate, last season,
you were a fan favorite,

but you really were desperate
to leave the game.

That's what people
were connecting with.

I mean, it was
so humorous to watch.

So why did you want to come back
for another round?

Well, a lot has changed
in my life

between my first season
and my second season.

I had a baby,
a four-month-old, at home.

And the first time I did it,
I couldn't wait to go home

and have my freedom,
but this time, I was like,

"I kind of like these eight
hours of sleep every night."

It felt like a great vacation,
so I was just there to have fun.

That's so funny. So it felt
like a vacation from the baby.

It really did.

[ Laughter ]

- Yes.
- I loved it.

Wow. Wow.
I want to join "The Traitors."

Yeah. I highly recommend.

Yes. How did you all feel
when Kate entered the game?

What-- Anyone? Dan?

I was super concerned
because Kate is very smart

and there's no filter,

so if she sees B.S.,
she's going to call it.

When I saw her walk in,
like, my stomach dropped.

I'm like,
"This is not going to go

how I want it to go."
- Thank you!

Peppermint, a lot of people,
including me,

were disappointed
that they didn't get to see

more of you this season.

How was your experience?

Well, I love "Traitors."
I've seen every single episode.

I consider myself a super fan.

And when I got the call to come,
I was like-- I was gagging.

I was like, "This is going to be
such a big opportunity."

And it was upsetting to be...

suddenly sort of cast out
instantly.

I know that somebody
has to be the first to go

on a show like this...

But with no proof?

Then you sort of-- people
have to rely on the biases

that they bring into the game,
which end up targeting

whoever's the most different
from the group.

And in those situations,

people like me
don't really fare that well.

It kind of eerily reminded me
of a high-school experience

where I was the only out
LGBTQ person at the time.

And...I...

[ Sighs ]

Thank you.

Yes, I'm a drag entertainer,
but I am so much more than that.

And in addition to this
being, like, an opportunity

for entertainment, I understand

that, with all of
the anti-trans legislation

in our country right now,

this moment is bigger than
just me coming to play a game.

- Yeah.
- Yes.

And...

Take your time.

Most people don't know
someone who's trans

in their personal life,
which means that they learn

about how to interact with us
from TV.

And so I was heartbroken...
- Yeah.

...that I wasn't able to, um--

to see that a little longer.

See it through. Yeah.

Well, I mean, in your way,
I think you did, you know?

Don't sell yourself short,
you know?

Thank you.

Peppermint, because
what evidence there was--

very little--
but what evidence there was

seemed to point to you,
I voted to banish you.

In retrospect, was I wrong?

Well, quite obviously.

Do I regret it? I do.
But you're a brilliant person.

You can hold your head up
very high, as I'm sure you do.

Thank you.

Moving on to other
relationships within the game,

our players went through twists
and turns all season long.

From the start, the castle
was filled with lies and deceit.

The Queens of Bravo
held court...

the Peter Pals hosted
closed-door meetings...

and the Gamers strategized
to get themselves to the end.

But in this labyrinth
of friendship and deception,

it's every faithful or traitor
for themselves.

♪♪

I stand here looking out
at a sea of schemers,

master manipulators,
cutthroat competitors.

You want to be traitor
or a faithful?

I feel like
people might know me

as the calculating bitch
on my show.

[ Laughter ]

The Bravo people are definitely
working together. Obviously.

We should be good at this.
I know.

We watch our back
every single day on our show.

Let's put our "Housewife"
skills together, baby!

The Gamers,
they've cliqued up.

They are playing
the sh*t out of us.

And then the Gamers clique

is C.T., Dan,
Sandra, and Parvati.

If Larsa wants
you two gone tonight,

we'll go for Larsa.

I'm not 100% sure, Larsa.

- I voted for Larsa.
- Larsa.

- Larsa.
- Larsa.

And then we've got
the faithful clique--

Bergie, Trishelle,
Peter, and John.

Should we go see
what the most faithful

of the faithful are doing?
- Exactly.

[ Laughter ]

Peter and his pals.
The Peter Pals.

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%.

They have
their secret meetings.

- Knock, knock.
- What's up, M.J.?

M.J., give us one minute.

- Can I come in?
- Give us one second, Phaedra.

- Oh, okay.
- Can I come in?

- Do you mind for one second?
- Oh, my gosh.

Those five
have made it very clear

that they're gonna
stick together.

Surprise, surprise!

Are you gonna control this game
till the end of time?

Peter is gonna single-handedly

lead these faithfuls to safety.

My suspicion right now,

if there has to be a guy,
is Dan.

- My vote is for Dan.
- Dan, I voted for you.

The leftovers have to prevail.

And that's what we are.
The leftovers.

Because we're not part of the
most faithful of the faithful.

Let's say these five
want one of us out.

And now we're outnumbered.

For us to get one step further,
one of these has to be banished.

If Peter's the head traitor,
let's take him out.

This is the best thing
I've ever experienced.

I think we take out
some of Peter's support.

"By order of the traitors..."

"You've been m*rder*d."

Tonight we have to
banish Parvati.

Parvati, you have received
the most votes

and are banished from the game.

I am not a faithful.
I'm a traitor.

Peter puts the "dic"
in dictator.

Yeah.
We got to get rid of him.

We got to break up
that alliance.

Peter.
- Peter.

- Peter.
- Peter.

- Peter.
- I'm a faithful till the end.

I tried to save you guys.
Take care.

Phaedra! [ Laughs ]

- Phaedra loved that.
- Oh, my God.

- The queen of the reaction sh*t.
- Oh, my God.

Andy, if you don't mind,
I'd like to, uh--

Yes, Peter.

Phaedra, I actually
do have a question.

We went at it. Definitely.
- We did.

We had our ups and downs.
I do want you to know, though,

that I respect you
as a competitor.

And I have a question.

Um...

Don't worry.
I don't want you to kiss my ass.

But, Miss Phaedra...

would you accept this rose?

[ All awwing ]

So he's... when people
don't kiss his ass.

They all do.

I'm so honored
because when I came in,

I was most excited
to see Max and Peter.

Is that right?
Are you a big "Bachelor" fan?

- I'm a Bachelor Nation girl.
- Oh, I didn't know that.

So when I saw him,
I ran straight up to him like,

"Oh, my God!"
- I do. I remember that. Yeah.

And so I respected his game.
But he was--

I mean,
he could be a cult leader.

Like, he's-- he's charismatic.
He's super attractive.

- Yes.
- And people are drawn to him.

- Right.
- And it caused problems

for us leftovers, you know,

'cause he was
running the castle.

By the way, how did it feel
being read for filth by Phaedra?

Jesus. Yeah. I mean, I guess
it's kind of an honor, right?

- Yeah. Yes.
- Dan, how does it feel?

You know, it was very humbling
because I take big sh*ts

in games, and they always work,
and it didn't work on Phaedra.

And I tip the cap to her.

Dakota from Houston said,

"Parvati and Sandra,
when you saw each other

on the first day,
with all your history,

what was going
through your heads?"

- I wasn't happy.
- You were not happy?

No.

Of all the 600-plus players
from "Survivor"

they could pick,
why did it have to be Parvati?

- Really?
- Ohh!

They wanted the most drama
that they could get.

- Yes.
- And they got it.

But, thankfully,
it was squashed very quickly

by our darling queen,
Peppermint.

So Sandra and I
could work together.

Because we had a lot of problems
additionally to contend with.

Drew from Briarcliff Manor,
New York, said,

"Janelle and Dan,

what was your relationship
on 'Big Brother'

and how did you react to being
on this show together?"

- We were close on "Big Brother."
- You were?

We're friends. And I lived with
him in the "Big Brother" house.

I know Dan very well.
- Yeah.

Happy to be playing this game
together?

- Oh, I was so excited.
- You were?

Out of the "Big Brother"
players, I was happy
it was Dan, for sure.

Janelle, do you think
you would have been

a more successful traitor
than Dan?

Yes, I do. Sorry, Dan. I would
have been way better than you.

[ Laughter ]

You know, Sandra
is the ultimate Gamer.

Did you all have your eyes
on her as a traitor

from the beginning?
- Yes.

- I did.
- You did?

Honestly, I didn't think
you were a traitor

because of how pissed you were
when you didn't get chosen.

- Yes.
- I thought you were

the... of season two.

Yeah, you would have been
a great traitor.

- 100%.
- I wanted to be a traitor.

Madeline from
Lafayette, Louisiana, said,

"Sandra, you seem
to have figured out

the traitors early on,
but you kept quiet.

Were you hoping
to get rid of some faithfuls

before striking down
the traitors?

If so, why?"

I knew that 18 of
the 21 or 22 people had to go,

whether they're
faithful or traitors.

For me to get to the end,
it doesn't matter

if you're faithful or a traitor.

- Okay.
- So they have to go.

Michelle from Dallas
wants to know for the group.

"Why didn't you immediately
start voting out

the 'Survivor'
and 'Big Brother' contestants?

They know how to manipulate
people very well."

I mean, I knew
Dan was a traitor.

- Yeah, I suspected Dan.
- Yeah, you did.
You called it very quickly.

I feel like
it was just his energy.

He just had, like,
a very reserved, quiet energy.

He was getting all the
information but sharing none,

and so that was
the red flag for me.

Um, Robert from Kansas City
said,

"Peppermint, you were voted
most popular player

in the first challenge.
How do you think

you would have done in the game
had you gotten to stay longer?"

I recognized very, very quickly
that I was obviously

the only person
from "RuPaul's Drag Race,"

and I saw myself
as like a free agent

that could, like,
work with anybody.

Bergie, did you feel
like your game changed

after you took the lead
in the graveyard challenge?

Yeah, I would say, like,

whenever I come
into a new experience,

it takes a while for me
to, like, get comfortable.

Like, my first day
with Ekin-Su in the bar,

she's just grilling me--
"Are you a traitor?"

Like, you were talking fast,
and I was just--

I was so nervous
around all these new people.

But then once I get comfortable,
then my game comes out.

So, Marcus and Larsa,
you came into this as a couple.

To me, you would come in
with a target on your back

because everyone thinks,
"Well, their built-in allies."

Yeah, I felt like
because we were so isolated

as a group that one of us
was gonna be first to go

just because we had each other.

And, you know, when I kind of
tipped my hat to Dan

because, you know,
I was kind of suspicious

of him not giving
any information,

I think that's kind of
what did me in.

- Yeah.
- I think we were too vocal.

You are very verbal, Larsa.

I am. I am.
I'm gonna try to tone it down.

What is going on
between the two of you?

I have to ask. You unfollowed
each other on Instagram.

Then you refollowed
and were out.

You were seen with a ring.

Give me the tea.
What's happening?

I think we just hit, like,
a little speed bump.

We were moving


and we hit a speed bump
and needed to kind of reset,

regroup, and kind of
talk through some stuff.

But we're doing fine now.

We're, like,
working on our problems.

- Yeah.
- And I feel like now

we're communicating better
and we're in a better place.

Well, Sarah from
Winston-Salem, North Carolina,

said, "Clearly a handful
of you underestimated

the Bravo-lebrities.

Parvati said
what they do is performance.

Janelle said the Housewives
don't have the skill

or the strategy
to mastermind who to m*rder.

Dan said Phaedra could be
pushed and manipulated

because she's a Housewife.

Do you all still
stand by those comments?"

- No.
- [ Laughter ]

I learned the hard way--
Phaedra in the hand-to-hand

combat of this game
is, like, elite level.

Like, she shredded me up.
- She's black ops.

And, you know,
it was a humbling experience.

I do stand by
the performance, though,

because Phaedra is
a performance queen.

Every time there's a moment.
- But that's just me.

Actually, people always
come up to me and say,

"What are the Housewives like
in real life?"

And I say, "Exactly as they are
on the show." And it is true.

Jax on Twitter said,
"Tamra, you were emotional

when you found out
you'd been m*rder*d.

How did it feel when you learned
you'd been b*rned

by your fellow Housewife
Phaedra?"

Oh, I was pissed! Oh, yeah.

Most of all
because I felt like--

Did she like me the least
out of all the Housewives?

No, no, no, no. Okay. So...

I do not like Tamra the least.

However, Tamra was going around
telling people how smart I was.

Well, I kind of suspected you.

It was likely me because
I was the smartest Housewife.

It's hard to vote for you
because you prey on everybody.

So it's like, every day,
you know, "God bless you."

And I'm like,
"I can't get rid of Jesus!"

I know.
When you got God on your side.

Catherine from Atlanta
wants to know,

"Which non-Gamer
was the most surprising

when it came to their
gaming skills on the show?"

- Peter!
- Peter!

Peter. For sure. Yeah.
- Thank you, guys.

- The private eye.
- I loved it.

I had the time of my life.
- Sherlock Holmes.

Okay. So, Phaedra coined
the name "Peter Pals."

What did you think of that?
- It was catchy.

- Hilarious. That was hysterical.
- Did you guys know
that was your name?

- It was fun. It's--
- I don't think--

He has T-shirts now.

Yeah, now I'm selling T-shirts,
so thank you.

Appreciate it.

And does Phaedra
get a cut of that?

- At least 10%.
- We're friends now,

so, yeah, absolutely.

As a faithful to the end,
Peter, what would you have done

if you were given
the turn-or-die ultimatum

that Kate had when the traitors
tried to recruit you?

Would you have become a traitor
or left the game?

I legitimately believe
if Phaedra would have given me

the ultimatum instead of Kate,

I think Phaedra
would have won the game.

And I don't know
why she didn't.

Because I think that then
Phaedra could have thrown me

under the bus the very next day,

gained a ton of credibility
in the house with,

"Look. Peter actually
was a traitor."

And I think Phaedra
would have soared to the end.

Katie from Van Nuys said,

"Phaedra, what was your
game plan as a traitor?"

I kept the people around
that I really liked.

Like, I could have k*lled
Trishelle.

But she had had a very
interesting conversation with me

about wanting
an opportunity to win.

And so I intentionally
did not k*ll Trishelle.

And I probably regret that now.

However, she touched my heart.

I could have k*lled John
much earlier,

but we had such a bond.
- Phaedra,

if I understand you correctly,
you're saying

you were insufficiently
ruthless?

[ Laughter ]

Winnie on Twitter said,
"Peter, after declining

the traitors' invite,
why did you set a secret meeting

and ask Parvati and Phaedra
to work with you?"

- Um...
- Bad move.

He wanted to be
covered on all sides.

That's what you do in this game.
- That was an error.

I was trying to--
I think you--

When Peter's talking,
like, trying to do something,

he wiggles his knees together.
- Do I?

Is that--
Was that my puffy-lip tell?

[ Laughter ]

I was very confident you guys
were traitors at that point,

and I just wanted to
buddy-buddy.

Like, pretty much everyone here
was doing the same tactic I was,

trying to keep traitors
on purpose till the end,

and that's just what
I was trying to do.

I think I was just a little bit
more vocal with it.

Parliament John,
how did you feel

when you got your torch lit?
I want to know.

I was just relieved.

And more interesting, though,
really, was me saving Peter

because the person who looked
absolutely sick was Parvati.

Why? Because Parvati wanted
to m*rder Peter that night.

...so bad!

He made one or two
tactical errors,

but Peter, to me
is absolutely brilliant.

I appreciate that, John.

John, did you bring
your inhaler today?

- I did not.
- Coming up...

Phaedra. I really like her.

And I don't know,
when this is over,

if she's, like,
really still mad at me.

- And, Phaedra?
- I am.

- You are?
- She said yes.

You are? Okay.

[ Laughter ]

Lala, our guests are arriving.

- Aah!
- Whoo!

Welcome to "The Traitors"!

[ All cheering ]

What? Too much?

Alan. He's just so iconic.

In this game,
there are no BFFs...

unless "BFF" stands for

betrayers, fakes,
and fraudsters.

Lighten up.

Honestly. So moody.

[ Dog whimpers ]

- Oh, you look gorgeous!
- Ooh! Yes!

Alan is, like,
over-the-top, fabulous.

Good morning,
my merry little breakfast club.

My paranoid platoon.

My Machiavellian mob.

Chef's kiss of a human being.

I'm just here
to say cryptic things

and look absolutely spectacular.

Behold!

Alan is so theatrical.

[ Bugle blares ]

'Round the round table
the ragged rascal ran.

Theatrical and intense.
My goodness!

Next stop, death!

Alan should not be
the most intimidating person

I've ever spoken to.

Take the walk of shame, John.
How tragic.

But he is.

We must let bygones be bygones.

Bye. Gone.

You do carry it off
with some aplomb.

Are you flirting with me?

I've never heard such heavy
breathing in my life, Lala,

and that's saying something.

How does it feel to be

the second-best-dressed guy
in the show?

I'd say back off, bitch.

[ Laughter ]

So, Johnny Bananas, um,

do you think he's still second
best, having seen all his looks?

I mean, I only got to showcase
one of mine, so...

I had a fire wardrobe.
Alright.

Does anyone have a favorite
Alan look from the season?

- The funeral.
- The funeral look.

- Delicious.
- Gorgeous.

Brooke from Virginia
wants to know,

"Do y'all think
Alan enjoys throwing

m*rder*d players' portraits
on the floor?"

- Yes.
- Yes.

"Can anyone do
a good Alan impression

of the way he says 'm*rder'"?
Evan on Twitter.

- m*rder!
- m*rder!

I love doing--
Okay. When he's, um--

[As Alan] Before you
leave my castle forever,

please reveal...

Are you a faithful?
Are you a traitor?

[ Cheers and applause ]

That's good! That's very good.

Very good job.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

- [Normal voice] Let's go.
- Wow.

Alright, well, I want
to talk about the traitors.

Cloaked in mystery
and actual cloaks,

the traitors turned faithfuls
against each other,

and so distrust in the castle.

But it wasn't
just the faithfuls

they were stabbing in the back.

They also started
turning on each other.

Let's take a look
at how the traitors

played the game this season.

Welcome to my round table.

In a few minutes,
everything will change.

I am so excited.

I was born to be a traitor.

I wanted to operate
in the shadows.

And this is where
I do my best work.

I'm definitely gonna be
queen of this castle here.

"Dear Parvati,
we have chosen you

to join us as a traitor."

Ohh! What?! No!

"You must decide
with your fellow traitors

which faithful to m*rder
with a poisoned chalice."

This is, like,
right up my alley.

I'm a full-on poisonous spider

crawling up to get you
when you least expect it.

- I love you.
- I love you.

I am feeling very exposed.
I'm feeling very vulnerable.

But I am very good at surviving.

Who has the capacity to
perform this part? Housewives.

Don't do that, Parvati.
We can be in this game together.

But you're gonna play fair,
both of you.

Hide it in our pockets.
Hide it in our pockets.

I came up with a plan.

Your name is already
on my chalkboard.

It's rolling the dice,
but we have to take out Bergie.

That's my Bergilicious.

I'm a little nervous
about this m*rder.

Aah! Bergie!

- I have the shield.
- Checkmate.

It's time for me to go after
one of my own traitors.

Since day one, I've been
watching one person-- Phaedra.

It's always, like,
a little bit extra.

I do too much
'cause you do too little.

I am a traitor.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Have fun. Have fun.

If I wasn't a Christian woman,

I would rip his heart out.

Let's just light this place
on fire.

"Dear Peter, we wish
to recruit you as a traitor."

Peter refused
your attempt at seduction.

[ Sighs ]

I am not a faithful.
I'm a traitor.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Hello, Kate. I think you'll
make a crazy-cool k*ller.

I accept.

I do love a VIP club.

Signed, sealed, delivered.
You're dead.

This is fun!

I think people trust me
in this castle.

They shouldn't trust me.

I would throw any of them in
the moat in a second for $10.

- Are you a traitor?
- No, I'm not.

Phaedra, my vote's for you.

In this game, you're more
selfish than skillful.

I am the most fabulous...
traitor!

I'm not the one
shopping your name around.

- She's voting for me.
- Yeah.

I love a little chaos
in the castle.

She set me up. I know she did.

Her whole outfit
is screaming traitor.

I don't know what else
to tell you guys.

- Kate.
- Kate.

Kate.

I am a traitor.

- [ Laughs ]
- Good luck, guys.

Oh, my God. Thank God.

Here's my advice to all
you future wannabe traitors.

Hope that you have
a lot of people in the castle

you don't really care for.

I should have been
a traitor last year. Ha!

[ Laughter ]

- Yes, honey.
- Alright.

I want to hear from those
who got sent home

before any traitors
were revealed.

What were your reactions when
you found out their identities?

I knew that Dan and Parvati
were traitors.

It was very obvious to me
because, like--

Just-- I kind of know them.
So I knew.

Dan, a lot of fans
wanted to see you

play the game as a traitor.

Tell us about your strategy.

And was the game harder
or different than you expected?

Yeah, my strategy
going into this--

Because you have an amazing cast

and, like, a ton
of huge personalities.

I'm pretty chill. So I was
leaning into that, to be quiet.

So when I had to
get out to the table

and I had to convince
people, it's like
the quiet kid in class.

When he talks,
you're gonna listen.

And so my plan
was to build trust

so that I look like
a great faithful.

- But that totally backfired.
- It did, you know?

I ran into Phaedra,
and it was a huge problem.

A lot of us weren't onto
Phaedra until he spoke up.

Then it was an eye-opener.

And so, Phaedra,
what was your reaction

to Dan selling you out
at the table?

He's a low-down son of a bitch.

- Ooh!
- Oh! [ Laughs ]

And for you to pull that...

I just thought he was...

a piece of sh*t.
- [ Gasps ]

- I'd like to respond.
- Yeah.

So, I play these games.
And, to me, they're games.

The hard part for me--
I liked everyone.

I like Phaedra.
I like Johnny Bananas.

But I'm never gonna give up.

In "Big Brother,"
my back's been against the wall.

I'll take a huge sh*t.
And they always hit.

This is the first time
it didn't hit.

And it's not personal.
There's been a lot of casts

going at each other
on a personal thing.

When the game's over,
I shake hands

and I'm like, "I like you."

Being calculatedly noncommittal

for so long was your downfall.

Yeah. I made 100 mistakes.
But that's not my question.

Do you regret going after
Phaedra at that last table?

I don't because you saw
how hard she was to get rid of,

and I didn't see a path to win
this game with Phaedra in it.

She was so well-insulated,
so well-liked.

No one suspected her,
and they barely got rid of her.

I was deathly afraid of
being at the end with Phaedra

with a couple Bravo people.
She winks at them, and I'm gone.

Because I thought
she was that good.

- So does he have a point?
- No. He does not have a point.

- They could have won together.
- I agree. I agree.

I liked my strategy.

My timing and my execution
was not good.

But when I watched back,
he had already said

he wanted me out of the game.
- Yeah.

- He said that.
- Yeah, I wanted to--

No, no, no. You were never--

You and Parvati
had said that early on.

Yeah, because at some point
a traitor has to go.

- Yeah, nothing.
- Dan was very afraid of Phaedra.

You had already made
that point that you wanted me

out the game.
- And your reaction was?

- Piece of sh*t.
- Oh, my God.

Yeah. He's trash.

♪♪

You and Parvati had said that
you wanted me out the game.

- And your reaction was?
- Piece of sh*t.

- Oh, my God.
- Yeah. He's trash.

The reason
why your game was weak

was because every person
asked you for your opinion.

You never gave your opinion.
- It was always gonna be

the next day, the next day,
the next day.

"I'm thinking about it."
"I'm almost there."

That is why
you did yourself dirty.

And so to put it on somebody
else is not what happened.

But my point is,
I made a lot of mistakes.

But, for me, this is sport and
it's fun, and it's not personal.

And that's where I was
a little surprised

that how people took it.

So, Scotty from
Carmel, California,

said, "When Peter lied to Dan
about having a shield,

Dan got caught in his trap.

Dan, Parvati, and Phaedra,
how hard was it

to hide your surprise when
Bergie walked in to breakfast?"

I told them not to k*ll Bergie.
I said leave Bergie alone.

Leave me alone.

I told them it was a bad idea.
But do what you want.

I also said don't k*ll Bergie.

Why would Peter tell us both
in confidence?

Dan made a lot of big moves.

Dan was dictating
a lot of the traitor moves.

That was the bad move.
Parvati's telling me,
"Don't go after Bergie."

Phaedra's like,
"Don't go after Bergie."

I was just, uh--

Sandra, what did you think
of Dan's gameplay?

I think that
Dan's biggest mistake

was, uh, trying
to m*rder Bergie,

knowing that there were people
in the castle

that didn't have a shield.

Why not go for the safe bet?

Bergie, how did it feel walking
in to breakfast that next day?

I was like, "Let's go."

I'm like,
"I'm coming in and I'm alive."

He was like,
"Give me those boiled eggs."

"Give me those boiled eggs."

The only time--
I'll just say real quick--

that Dan had put suspicion...

But it was a day after Parvati.

You had called me a bloodhound
in an individual convo.

And then the next day-- I
thought it was a Freudian slip.

You had called me
the same thing.

And I remember thinking,
"Hmm, I wonder if they
were in a turret."

Oh, Peter, you are
a bloodhound! Look at you.

Blair from Boston said,
"Dan, people were definitely

more suspicious of Parvati
than Phaedra,

yet you chose to turn
against Phaedra instead.

Why do that when everyone

already thought
Parvati was a traitor?"

No. It's a great question.
For me, I plan these games.

How do I win?
And I'm ten steps down the road.

And, to me, kicking out Parvati
buys me a day.

But I still have to
go through Phaedra,

and she's gonna be tough
to get out.

And so for me to wrap
this whole thing up,

it's like-- I can't win
this game with Phaedra in it.

Fans were saying
your fatal mistake

was going after Phaedra.
- 100%.

Like I said, I take big sh*ts
in all these games I play,

and they always work
when I did it.

And Phaedra just carved me up.
And I was sitting there.

There was a moment.
I'm like, "Dang. She's
really, really good."

Have you ever seen
a "Real Housewives" reunion?

I've never seen Atlanta.

- Okay. Well, google it.
- I'd seen Orange County.

What was it about Phaedra
that kept her

under the radar for so long?

I feel like she prayed a lot,

and it's hard to, like,
go against Jesus.

I think the fact
that she wasn't a Gamer

worked in her favor, as well,

because she basically allowed
the other traitors

to do all the dirty work,
to devise the scheme,

and she just kind of sat back.

And that's why none of the heat
ever came her way,

because her fingerprints
weren't on anything.

Sandra, I want to know what
you think of Phaedra's strategy.

I think at the beginning

she was watching and learning
from both Dan and Parvati

so if she was ever
in the situation

to have to do it on her own,
she could.

But I was just hoping
she would have recruited me

instead of Kate.

But I think because
they b*rned her so bad

that hesitation, I think,
was there,

but I-- I would
have had your back.

I think we could have
figured something out.

I'm curious.

Before Dan put her name
out there,

were there people who weren't
suspicious of her?

You weren't sus--
- Wow!

- I wouldn't have voted her out.
- Not suspicious.

I thought Parvati was much
more obviously a traitor

than Phaedra,
and my reasoning was this.

I thought Parvati's mood
and her disposition

changed from round table
to late at night,

whereas I thought Phaedra
was absolutely unchanging

throughout the day.

Yeah, I was really struggling,
but Phaedra was fine.

I have to think that this game
would be easier than "Survivor."

This game is so much
more difficult from "Survivor."

Being a traitor
and having to lie

and being accused and
having to come up with a story

and then accuse somebody else
is so diabolical

and so, like,
in your head, crazy.

I haven't been playing these
kind of games in a long time,

so it was hard for me.

Lindsay from
Plattsmouth, Nebraska, said,

"Everyone, there seemed to be a
lot of suspicion around Parvati,

yet she lasted a long time
in the game.

Why didn't the faithfuls agree
to go after her earlier?"

I felt like you were
a little bit on your own,

and she didn't have
a lot of people.

Phaedra had so many people
that loved her so much.

Aww.

Lakshmi from
Chandler, Arizona, said,

"Dan and Parvati,
do you feel like Phaedra

played too passive a game?

Do you regret
letting her sit back

while you did the dirty work

like handing Ekin-Su
the poisoned wine?"

No. That was my mission.
I had to do something.

I was going crazy in the castle.

Yeah, but you
shouldn't have poisoned me.

I loved you. Remember?
I said I loved you.

- And you were betrayed.
- That's really nasty.

You were nastily betrayed.

I'm a nasty little traitor.

I'm curious, faithfuls.

When you saw that episode

and you realized
that you were all hanging out

and she's walking around
looking for someone to k*ll,

what was your reaction to that?

Like, who would ever
drink from that?

It's disgusting.
- Right.

- M.J.?
- It probably tastes like metal.

And so when she gave it to you,

you were thinking what, subconsciously?

I was just enjoying the wine,
loving life.

You know, if I'm honest,
I was like,

"Oh, I love you, I love you."

You know? Us English,
we love a drink, so...

Wow!

M.J., what were you thinking
when you were in the coffins

after the funeral procession?

"What is the airline meal
going to be?

My son is gonna be happy
to see me."

- Yeah.
- Really?

I was 100% on my way
back to L.A.

Johnny from
Allendale, New Jersey, said,

"Parvati, after you
called out the Housewives

at the round table,
Phaedra came after you

in the turret
like a true Housewife

and told you,
'Nobody likes you, Parvati.'"

Yes.

"What was going through
your mind when she said that?"

Nothing. I'm like, "Okay.
Fine. I don't care.

People don't like me? Whatever.
Well, let's move on.

And are we gonna work together?"
- Yeah.

Uh, Annie on Twitter said,

"Parvati, who do you wish
you recruited instead of Peter?"

- Kate.
- Why not me?!

Because, Sandra,
you would have thrown me

under the bus the first chance.
- No, I would not have!

Uh, Jolie from
Short Hills, New Jersey, said,

"John, you called Parvati
a mistress of m*rder

and duchess of deception
at the round table

just hours
after she cried to you.

Why didn't you buy her act?"

I thought it was
totally unconvincing

from start to finish.
- Wow!

It was her
theatrical performance.

- John!
- And it was fun to hear it.

And I enjoyed
spending time with her.

And she was a great game player,
brilliant on the missions.

I think she's an admirable
human being in every way.

But that little effort,

including the tear-jerking
episode and so on,

just struck me
as completely inauthentic,

unconvincing, and
a desperate attempt to say.

- Okay. Go on.
- Drag her! Drag her!

Gillian on Facebook wants
to know for the group.

"What were you thinking
when Kate entered the game late?

Was there extra attention
on her

or were you letting her slide by

because she was so new
to the group?"

I was excited to see Kate
because I did watch season one

and I thought she was hilarious.

However, I did think
that she came in as a traitor.

When you were on season one,

you were miserable
as a faithful,

so why would she want to
come back as another faithful?

So I thought she initially
came in as a traitor.

I mean,
I'd never played as a traitor,

so you don't know
until you try it.

It's so much more difficult
than I expected.

And I give my hats off to all of
you that have done it so well

because it's so hard!

Phaedra, you look shocked
when Kate called you selfish

at the round table
before your banishment.

Why did that affect you so much?

Because I just thought
it was so weird.

It was very strange.

I think out of probably
most people here,

I was the most giving
and the most loving.

And so for someone to call me
selfish, I'm anything but that.

I've been called
a lot of things,

but "selfish" has never been
one of them.

Kate, you threw a hail mary
before the final round table

playing C.T. and Sandra
against each other,

which ultimately
led to Sandra's banishment.

How did you come up
with that scheme?

You know, I had a feeling
I was going home,

and I had a feeling
I was doing the final mission

for zero dollars again.

So I thought I'd have
a little fun and try my hand

at being a traitor a little bit.

The night Phaedra was banished,

you said she gave up
and didn't fight for herself,

but, realistically,
what more do you think

she could have done
at that point?

No. The whole day,
everybody was onto you.

It was day after day.

And I-- After being a traitor
for such a short amount of time,

I don't know how you
withstood that for so long.

But I would have
given up much sooner.

Was there anything
you could have done,

do you feel like, at that point?

At that point,
the only thing I could have done

is give up Kate
or turn on Sandra.

I would-- I would never
play the game like that.

Because everyone there,
when I left,

I would have been happy
for them to win.

I didn't have any issues
with anyone

that was at that round table,

so I would have applauded them
if they won the game.

So I'm not a selfish person
at all.

I love it
how agnostic you guys were

to your CBS family,

your Bravo family,
your MTV family.

I mean, it's really--
- I think it comes down

to you are in this arena
where everyone's freaking out.

Nobody knows what's true,
what's fake.

And you've played with someone,

so you have a tiny bit
of familiarity,

and you just go--
glom onto it.

With treachery abound
in the castle,

one traitor stood out
amongst the rest.

Phaedra was accused
of being too much,

but fans
just couldn't get enough.

Let's take an extra look
at the player

who always knew
what she wanted--

m*rder and boiled eggs.

[ Laughter ]

Watch.

So, what's your name, sweetheart?

- John.
- You're a politician, right?

Ohh! You're...

- Naughty, naughty, naughty!
- I am.

Child, wake up
and smell the coffee.

Are you willing to m*rder

one of your fellow players
every night?

I'm a k*ller.

Your first m*rder.
How do you feel?

- Exhilarated.
- [ Laughs ]

Bananas!

- Do you feel bad at all?
- No.

Aww. I feel so bad.

I actually care about
a lot of these people.

- Tamra's dead.
- What?!

But someone has to die.

Why-- Why Tamra?

Are there any boiled eggs?
Boiled eggs?

I'm definitely gonna be
queen of this castle.

It's always, like,
a little bit extra.

I do too much
'cause you do too little.

If I wasn't a Christian woman,
I would rip his heart out.

What you might have forgot,
Peter,

is this is not "The Bachelor"

and I don't have to
kiss your ass for a rose.

Who has the capacity to
perform this part? Housewives.

Don't do the Housewives thing, honey.

Don't do that, Parvati.

I feel powerful.

No one likes you, Parvati.

Everyone says you're a traitor.

You speak very eloquently.

Unfortunately,
this is not Parliament.

You on your deathbed.
I'm walking into the hospital.

But you're in the ICU, baby.
You're about to flatline.

Deceptive.

When I talk to you,

your eye starts to freak out
a little bit.

I want to see him break
like a little toy plane.

Mysterious.

Get your suit ready
'cause if you play like this

I'm gonna be
embalming you myself.

The queen of traitors
is in the castle.

That was pretty good. Yummy.

And long shall she reign.

Oh, Lord Jesus.

[ Laughter ]

"Not Ekin-Su."

[ Laughter ]

Phaedra, you really seemed
to enjoy the power

of murdering people.

I liked just the mental game.

I really did enjoy that.

It was so different
to play something

in opposition to
what I do every day.

People who I really like
are like, "Wow."

I would love to see them go on
and see how they will behave.

So, I mean,
it's a-- it's a rush.

Kevin,
Brad from Vancouver said,

"Your best round-table moment

was when you accused Phaedra
of having an eye twitch.

When did you first notice it?"
- Yeah, I mean, I noticed that

a while ago, and just--

Like, I...
- [ Laughter ]

That was so funny. So funny.

- Do it again.
- Very obvious. You know?

Coming up...
for the Final Four,

what was your mission
going into the end?

Obviously to end
with the faithfuls.

♪♪

Why are you still
so mad at me, M.J.?

♪♪

♪♪

Welcome back to "The Traitors"
season-two reunion.

While Phaedra may have
won fans' hearts,

it was the Gamers
who came out on top.

Coming into the castle,

after years of competing
on "The Challenge,"

Trishelle and C.T.'s
relationship

was at an all-time low,

but these foes found trust and
relied on their shared history

to leave the game
as friends and winners.

Watch.

♪♪

You want to be a traitor
or a faithful?

I think it'd be better off
finding one of them.

Did I ask you, like,
where you're leaning

for your vote right now or no?
- Uh, honestly, you.

I don't want to play games
with the traitor.

I don't want to try to
cut a deal with them.

They're traitors.
Get rid of 'em.

[ Grunting ]

C.T.'s got so much experience
in these competition games.

He's the one
carrying the missions out

and leading the team.

[ Cheers and applause ]

I just adore C.T. I think
I got a mild crush on him.

- You look so innocent.
- That's what I'm going for.

A lamb in wolf's clothing.
- Ooh.

My strategy in this game is to
try to lay low in the beginning.

- Are you traitor?
- No.

No, I don't think you are.
[ Laughs ]

Then, the middle of the game,
gear up

and maybe start calling
people out a little bit more.

From day one,
I have noticed some things.

- Who would you suspect?
- Dan a little bit.

Okay.
This is what I wanted to do.

Trust me. Hear this plan out.

Feel like my plan
might be better.

Just know
I'm voting for Phaedra.

And I think
that you're a traitor.

I don't think that
you're a traitor at all.

No, I don't think
you're a traitor, either.

I think C.T.'s changed a lot
from our "Challenge" days.

I can trust him.

C.T., only two more players
can be protected.

In my heart of hearts,
I want to go with John.

If someone had lit my fire,
I was gonna give it to you.

- I don't want her to go home.
- Oh! Thank God. Thank God.

She's really good
to have on my side.

It's a shield...

C.T. gained a lot of trust
with me again today.

You are willing
to vote Phaedra?

Do you think
she's 100% traitor?

- Yes.
- Let's do it.

I am the most fabulous traitor.

We have a really good chance
of winning this together.

My concern is Sandra.
I do think you're a traitor.

What is happening?!

[ Gasps ]

Trishelle, you chose
to banish again...

- C.T.
- I've been a good faithful.

I'd like to finish
what we started.

Players, you'll now vote
one more time.

M.J.

It was so hard for me
to write his name down

the first time.
I couldn't do it twice.

C.T. and Trishelle.

Now we must find out
who you truly are.

Faithful! Faithful,
faithful, baby. Let's go!

- I'm a faithful, obviously.
- [ Laughs ]

Congratulations.
You've won "The Traitors."

Ohh!

[ Applause ]

[ Laughter ]

They deserve
to be congratulated.

Yes!

[ Applause ]

You could tell
Alan didn't even enjoy that.

- [ Laughter ]
- Obvious.

Trishelle and C.T., how did it
feel to win this together,

given your shared history?

It was just--
It was super emotional.

I mean, I've known him forever,
and we haven't always had, like,

the closest friendship, but
it's very "brother and sister."

Yeah.

Uh, Shreya on Twitter
wants to know, for everyone--

"Which of the Gamers
do you think

played the best game
on the show?"

- Trishelle.
- Trishelle.

- Yeah.
- Trishelle was superb.

Thanks.
Finally, like, winning,

like, a show by myself--
Well, not by myself.

You obviously were there, too.
But I tried hard this show.

Also, it was interesting
seeing you on the tape say,

"My strategy is to lay low
until halfway through,

and then I'm gonna
come out swinging."

And you did exactly that.

Well, except for with
Peppermint in the beginning.

That was not laying low.
But then I took a step back
because I felt so terrible.

Yeah, but you were thinking
and planning all along.

Um, Jessica on Twitter said,
"Trishelle, you were so offended

when C.T. didn't
light your torch,

but you excluded him
from the Peter Pals.

Why would you expect him
to protect you

when you weren't including him
in your alliance?"

I didn't exclude him.
I wasn't running that thing.

C.T. told me,
"You know that you're

at the bottom of the totem pole
with all these guys."

- I was at the bottom.
- I was just like, "Okay."

Oh.
- [ Laughs ]

Me and you.

Um, Sandra, you were so close
to making it to the end game,

but then you got blindsided.

Did you expect
anything like that to happen?

I knew that it was
between me and C.T.,

so then I wanted to
turn the tables on him,

and I was hoping I could,
but it didn't happen.

That's what you do
when someone calls you out.

You got to get rid of them.

For the Final Four,

what was your mission
going into the end?

Obviously to end
with the faithfuls.

That's what I would have
liked to have done,

but here I was a traitor.

And, uh, you know,
always a bridesmaid,

never a bride
on this show for me.

I just do the final missions,
and I go home.

And then I was having
such a good time

with this group
that I didn't mind.

I didn't have,
like, a big plan.

I wanted to, you know, obviously
end with the faithfuls, as well.

But, um, I was questioning--

second-guessing myself
the whole time.

Well, C.T., you and Trishelle
agreed to banish Kate

at the final round table,

but you changed your vote
to Sandra.

Why did you go against the plan?

I was just like,
"I don't care.

I don't trust anybody at this
point. I just want to win."

Trishelle, that move
changed the game for you.

When did you decide that C.T.
was potentially playing you?

Whenever he voted out Sandra.

I was like,
"That's not the plan.

Like, why is he doing this?"
It was just so strange to me.

- I should've communicated.
- You should have communicated.

Yes. But it's fine.
It all worked out.

But that's why
I was just like...

M.J.-- I wanted to take her.

♪♪

Why are you still
so mad at me, M.J.?

♪♪

Why are you still so mad
at me, M.J.?

- I'm not coming for you.
- Okay.

It was he who was the chump,
and that was the problem.

Well, you blocked me
on Instagram,

so clearly you're pissed.

- Oh, ho! Not Instagram!
- What happened?

- You blocked me on Instagram.
- You blocked her on Insta--

Oh, it's f*cking serious now.

- Both of you.
- Game on.

You blocked both of them
on Instagram?

From the second that I got
off the thing. Why wouldn't I?

I blocked you both immediately.
Why wouldn't I?

I'm just saying.

Okay, okay. Um...

C.T., so, going
to that fire pit,

I think everyone was surprised

when you voted
to keep playing the game.

What was your plan there?

Well, after we got rid
of Kate, honestly, I didn't--

At this point, I'm just
in a state of confusion.

And I just--
I didn't trust anybody.

And not for nothing--
- You clearly trusted Trishelle.

- Of course. Yeah.
- Okay. So you didn't trust M.J.?

- No. Honestly, I didn't.
- Right.

Yeah. No. I mean, she--
In all fairness,

she played a flawless game.

She was never in the hot seat.

To me, it looked like
she could probably

be, like, the little mastermind
behind all the other women

where it was just--
The game was too clean for me.

Why didn't you vote for C.T.
that final time?

Because you and Trishelle
would have won the game.

Because it wasn't about
the money. It was about loyalty.

I didn't feel a connection
with you,

but I had the loyalty because
I knew you were a faithful.

I don't regret my choices.
I regret their choices...

- I bet.
- ...for vilifying themselves.

So she still clearly--

I think she's a bit
taken aback by just...

- Yeah, I am.
- ...how bitter you seem to be.

You didn't win, and you
shouldn't be bitter about it.

It's a game. Game. Game. End of.

Actually,
the traitors were eliminated,

and the greedy people decided
to make it a different game.

And so it is interesting.

And I have to assume

that this comes to play
with "Big Brother."

Because you're putting
your trust in someone

and you're gonna get
double-crossed at the end.

Yeah, like, we play games.

Like, we never take
anything personally.

And, so, yes, we love everyone.

Every single one of you,
I like,

but, like, I would never
take anything personally.

Um, if we come off-- if it
came off insensitive, I'm sorry.

You know, coming from someone
who's done this for so long,

I'm a bit numb to this kind
of stuff, like a lot of us are.

And this is your first, like,
real competition show.

That is worth saying.

I feel the same way
about Phaedra.

I really like her, and I don't
know, when this is over,

if she's, like, really still mad
at me or if-- And that's it.

Good question. Phaedra?
I am.

- You are.
- She said yes.

You are. Okay.

I think it is
a "cultural" difference

between people who are--
come from the gaming shows

and people who come
from the other shows.

- Fair enough.
- And as you point out,

the name of the show is...
"Traitors."

Thank you.

Any even the faithfuls
are lying.

Trishelle, what does it mean
to you to win the game?

I played the game so hard.
I gave, like, all the missions,

like, 100%.
- Absolutely.

I was frantic. I took notes.

I was insane during the game.

But, like, honestly,
I feel like I deserved it.

And I feel like I worked hard. I
did.

C.T., what does it mean
for you?

I know you expressed the fact
that you had been off TV

for a long time.
- Yeah.

Coming into this--
um, to "Traitors,"

you know, I was basically,

you know, starting
a new chapter in my life,

and I couldn't have asked
for a better start.

Ah. Like, it was like
a new beginning, but it felt--

It felt familiar, you know,
and like it was okay

to step back out into the world,
so to speak.

I don't know.
I have to say I had so much fun.

For what it's worth, I enjoyed
playing with everybody.

I'm very grateful.
I gotta say that.

Well, congratulations
to you both.

- Both: Thank you.
- It was really exciting.

It's really exciting
watching you win.

Well, it's been so fun
watching the show.

I mean, you all were
incredible to watch.

It just kept us guessing
until the very last minute.

Thanks to all the faithfuls and
traitors for joining me tonight.

I'm glad we're all
getting out of here alive.

I'm Andy Cohen.
I'm leaving you

with a final message

from a fellow A.C.
across the pond.

Good night.
