Peter. Phaedra. Peter. Phaedra. It all came down to Shahs of Sunset star MJ Javid, who was left to cast the final vote and break the season’s biggest nail-biting tie thus far.
After making us wait a whole dang week (seriously, I have aged waiting for this episode), the first few moments of Thursday’s Traitors immediately delivered the goods: Peter is her vote, and the former Bachelor is banished from the game. “I felt like there was way more evidence going in your direction than any other direction,” MJ tells him. Cue the long faces once Peter reveals he is a faithful. DUH! (Yeah, yeah. It’s easy for us to judge when we’re at home being armchair experts.)
But with Peter gone, the argument for Phaedra becomes far easier for Trishelle to sell. The Real World vet hopes and prays she can convince MJ, Kate and Shereé to write down Phaedra’s name at the next roundtable. But will Phaedra be able to spin a different story to get Trishelle and CT off her back?
MURRRDERRR! | With everyone coming for Phaedra, Kate’s fine to let the former housewife drive this one. CT has a shield, so it all comes down to offing either Trishelle or John. Unfortunately for the former British politician, he has, in fact, attended his last breakfast.
After their morning meal, Kate does what she can to help her fellow traitor, planting seeds about Sandra possibly being the second of two traitors still in the game. But can she convince the others to save Phaedra for the final ceremony?
MISSION | The players must dig through a mud pile to find gold nuggets, and carry them across the lake over a group of floating platforms. The season’s final shield is also buried in the muck, which MJ finds and delivers to its proper home at the very last second. Trishelle and CT do most of the hard work, banking the group an additional $28,350. (And for those keeping tabs, the total prize pot is now $158,100.)
Back at the castle, Sandra eyes Kate working overtime in a conversation with CT and MJ. She decides to go outside and try to crash their chat, only when she does, Kate won’t say who she thinks “No. 2” is.
Back inside, Shereé asks her friend point blank if she’s a traitor, but Phaedra maintains the lie. Though it seems like her layers of defense are weakening. Is that a glimmer of defeat we’re seeing in her eyes?
ROUNDTABLE 2 | The discussion at the banishment ceremony is brief. Too brief. Trishelle questions Phaedra’s silence the night prior when her name kept coming up. MJ, finally coming to her senses, says that Phaedra’s nature could totally help her excel in the role. Sandra says it’s “gonna kill me if you end up being a traitor, but the signs are all there. We just have to see if what Trishelle was saying was right.” At this point, it seems that this season’s hilarious fan-favorite is cooked. And honestly? It seems like Phaedra’s ready to throw in the towel. “I’m very exhausted,” she says. “It just gets to a point where you just get really tired of fighting.”
Alan calls it all off and when the votes are revealed, everyone writes down Phaedra’s name (she jots down CT). At the last second, Kate throws a rather unnecessary dagger: “In this game you’re more selfish than skillful. It’s not fun to play games with people who play that way.”
When Phaedra stands in the Circle of Trust, she reveals she’s a traitor and says she hopes there are no hard feelings. (Meanwhile, she tells us in an interview that she’s ready for a spa day and a flight outta Scotland. We don’t blame her! Carrying an entire season on one’s back is hard work.)
Kate’s comment to Phaedra serves as yet another red flag for Sandra, who thinks that it’s very possible that Kate could be the last traitor in their midst. But Kate knows that if the group banishes another faithful, that person could easily be Sandra…

So glad Phaedra is gone, she was getting annoying and really lazy playing the game.
I’m glad Peter is gone too bad he couldn’t drag that lazy sb Trishelle along with him.
Peter was too good for this show. Yeah, he was smug, but at least he backed it up. He was spot on when it came to naming the Traitors.
Anyone with two brain cells to rub together could have picked out two of the Traitors just by reading the biographies of the cast, before the game started..
A lawyer would be an obvious choice to make as a Traitor. The same goes for Dan, given his performance on BB.
Once the game had started, Parvati would be an easy person to choose, given her icy cold behavior towards Peter. She don’t come off as scared, she came off as confrontational.
If it weren’t for the Bravo people protecting their fellow Bravo cast mates, Phaedra would have been gone weeks ago.
Imo Kate doesn’t deserve to win. I Want CT or trishele. Kate isn’t going to use final murder on Sandra bec it’s easier if people suspect her so I’m assuming one of my choices is going home (prob CT)
I’m so pissed Phaedra is gone but I’m glad she got read of Peter and John first. I just wished she could have given a name with reason.
At the end of the day, this is Dan’s fault.
Just pissed! Phaedra is gone.
Done watching! No excitement
Queen, looking for your return to you returning to RHWOA.
The episodes don’t drop until 9pm. Why would you publish this before the episode even airs? Do better.
I am glad Phaedra is gone. I think Kate could win.
Or you know, don’t click on the link? It’s not like spoil it in the title.
It’s called principle. And actually it is as the same number of people do not leave in every episode.
…. it’s not like there was a surprise elimination. They left it on a banishment cliffhanger, so that banishment was carried over. Then after someone was murdered, like normal. Then someone was banished at then end of the episode, like normal. It shouldn’t come as a shock this is the format of the show.
The time on our site is PT. This was posted at 9 ET, per the streamer’s embargo time.
If you like reading about real spies and liked The Traitors you’ll love reading a psychological roller coaster about a real secret agent running in the fields and if you think the likes of Ian Fleming or any of the Cambridge Five lived exciting lives think again! In an article published last week it was revealed that the spy Bill Fairclough (MI6 codename JJ aka Edward Burlington) who was unceremoniously refused an Oxford University scholarship survived 50+ known near death experiences including over two dozen “attempted murders for want of a better expression”.
You can find the article dated 7 August 2023 in the News Section of TheBurlingtonFiles website (which is refreshingly advert free). The reason he survived may well have been down to his being protected by Pemberton’s People in MI6 as explained in another fascinating article dated 31 October 2022. It was for real. It is mind-boggling as is that website which is as beguiling as an espionage museum in its own right. No wonder Bill Fairclough’s first novel Beyond Enkription is mandatory reading in some countries’ espionage or intelligence induction programs. If you reckon you can track down real traitors try your luck with this thriller: odds on you don’t clock the lot!
Beyond Enkription is an enthralling unadulterated factual thriller and a super read as long as you don’t expect John le Carré’s delicate diction, sophisticated syntax and placid plots. Nevertheless, it has been heralded by one US critic as “being up there with My Silent War by Kim Philby and No Other Choice by George Blake”. Why? It deviously dissects just how much agents are kept in the dark by their spy-masters and vice versa and it is now mandatory reading on some countries’ intelligence induction programs.
Phaedra was so bad at the game. She over acted everything, and lucked out with the Bravo alliance being to blind to it. Kates gonna win and did nothing
