After two weeks and five episodes, fans of “The Traitors US” will only get a single episode tonight, Thursday, Jan. 22.
Peacock’s hit reality competition returned earlier this month and has already had several iconic moments, chaotic characters, and vicious “murders.”
Based on the original Dutch show, the U.S. version follows the same premise: a group of contestants must work together on missions to increase their overall prize pool. However, hidden amongst the “Faithful” contestants are the “Traitors,” whose goal is to eliminate the Faithful and claim the prize for themselves.
In Peacock’s version, contestants play in an ancient castle in Scotland. Award-winning Scottish actor Alan Cumming has been the host of “The Traitors” since its American debut in 2023.

Who are the traitors in the Season 4 cast?
Cumming selected three traitors during the premiere episode, choosing:
Orlando resident and Taylor Swift’s future mother-in-law, Donna Kelce, was also selected on the first episode as the secret traitor.
Her identity was unknown to the other three traitors, so she had to work alone. During the first two nights of the game, Kelce was tasked with providing a short list of contestants for the other traitors to “murder.”
However, she was voted out during the third episode’s roundtable discussion, ironically targeted by fellow traitor Bassett.
Who was banished on ‘The Traitors’ last week?
Two players were banished in last week’s episodes.
Episode four’s roundtable discussion ended with Big Brother’s Tiffany Mitchell banished after former Bachelor Colton Underwood rallied the group to vote for her.
“I told myself, coming into this game, be careful with how you are, because not everyone will understand. But I am truly proud of the way I played this game. And you all should be proud of yourselves, too, because you have proved that you get what you deserve. You all didn’t deserve me because I am a Faithful,” she said.
Episode five’s roundtable was especially chaotic, with Underwood and comedian Michael Rapaport going at it. Rapaport accused Underwood of being a traitor, then made an insensitive comment suggesting he was a good one because he’s good at keeping secrets. Underwood had previously told the group about coming out as gay after starring on “The Bachelor.”
The majority of the table voted Rapaport out after his remark, with some saying they didn’t care whether he was actually a traitor and just wanted him gone.
“I meant what I meant within the context of the game. It had nothing to do with his sexuality. I really, sincerely apologize if I offended Colton or anybody in the house,” Rapaport said during the confessional. “That absolutely wasn’t my intention. I’m a fan of the game. I played hard, and you know, I played a good game, except for when it went a little too far, which sucks.”
Mitchell and Rapaport now join Mama Kelce and Porsha Williams of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” fame as banished players this season.
Who was ‘killed’ on ‘The Traitors’ last week?
Episode four kicked off with a murder, picking up where the previous week left off. Ultimately, the traitors decided to murder Caroline Stanbury from the Real Housewives of Dubai.
“I’m absolutely floored. I thought the housewives would have each other’s back,” Stanbury said upon seeing Rinna and Bassett. “Only a housewife could look you straight in the eye and stab you directly in the back.”
The next murder was RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Monét X Change, who was chosen after he expressed suspicion that Rinna was a traitor to Bassett.
“Damn, damn, damn, they got your girl,” Monet said during his confessional. “Now I’m a little faithful ghost. I’m going to haunt these hallways. Mark my words.”
In total, four contestants have been “killed off” in the first five episodes:
