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 murder.
If you get murdered, it might be by my look,
but it won't be because I'm a traitor.
Ohh!
Push comes to shove, we'll definitely murder each other.
- Johnny Bananas. - Ooh!
He gives "repo man" vibes.
- First murder. How do you feel? - Exhilarated.
"We have chosen you to join us as a traitor."
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.
- 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.
I am not a faithful.
I'm a traitor. - Yes!
Hello, Kate. I think you'll make a crazy-cool killer.
I accept.
You're on the block. You're leaning towards me.
Yeah.
Peter puts the "dic" in dictator.
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.
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?
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 killer.
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?
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.
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.
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.
**
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!
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.
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.
Now we must find out who you truly are.
Faithful. Faithful, faithful, faithful, faithful, baby.
Let's go!
Yay!
I'm a faithful, obviously.
Oh!
Congratulations. You have won "The Traitors."
Ohh!
- 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 murdered
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!
**
Hi.
You look good.
**
Alright. C.T. and Trishelle, congratulations on your big win.
We're gonna need a bigger couch.
This dress...
- First thing, huh? - By the way, at the end,
it kind of almost seemed like a rom com, too.
I felt like--
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,
20 years of history, 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."
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.
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?
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 murdered 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 murdered.
- 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?
Err-err, err-err!
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.
- It's-- - Ekin-Su?
It's like this.
I didn't know that I make this face, and Ekin goes--
"Are you aware that you pout
and squint when you're thinking?"
Nice try with the accent.
Coming up...
You and Parvati had said that you wanted me out of the game.
- And your reaction was...? - Piece of shit.
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.
- 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...
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.
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 shit 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.
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.
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 murdered."
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.
- I'm a faithful till the end.
I tried to save you guys. Take care.
**
Phaedra!
- Phaedra loved that. - Oh, my God.
- The queen of the reaction shot. - 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?
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 shots
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.
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 100 miles per hour,
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 murder.
Dan said Phaedra could be pushed and manipulated
because she's a Housewife.
Do you all still stand by those comments?"
No.
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 murdered.
How did it feel when you learned you'd been burned
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 killed Trishelle.
But she had had a very interesting conversation with me
about wanting an opportunity to win.
And so I intentionally did not kill Trishelle.
And I probably regret that now.
However, she touched my heart.
I could have killed John much earlier,
but we had such a bond. - Phaedra,
if I understand you correctly, you're saying
you were insufficiently ruthless?
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?
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 murder 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.
Lala, our guests are arriving.
- Aah! - Whoo!
Welcome to "The Traitors"!
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.
- 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.
'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.
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
murdered players' portraits on the floor?"
- Yes. - Yes.
"Can anyone do a good Alan impression
of the way he says 'murder'"? Evan on Twitter.
- Murder! - Murder!
I love doing-- Okay. When he's, um--
Before you leave my castle forever,
please reveal...
Are you a faithful? Are you a traitor?
That's good! That's very good.
Very good job.
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 murder 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 murder.
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.
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.
I am not a faithful. I'm a traitor.
Hello, Kate. I think you'll make a crazy-cool killer.
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.
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!
- 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!
And for you to pull that...
I just thought he was...
a piece of shit.
- 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 shot. 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 shit. - 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 shit.
- 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 kill 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 kill 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 murder 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."
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 shots 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 burned 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 kill,
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 murder
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--
murder and boiled eggs.
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 murder
one of your fellow players every night?
I'm a killer.
Your first murder. How do you feel?
Exhilarated.
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.
"Not Ekin-Su."
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...
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.
C.T.'s got so much experience in these competition games.
He's the one carrying the missions out
and leading the team.
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.
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?!
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.
Congratulations. You've won "The Traitors."
Ohh!
They deserve to be congratulated.
Yes!
You could tell Alan didn't even enjoy that.
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.
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 fucking 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.
- 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.

Well, my treacherous aficionados.
What a roller coaster of a reunion this has been.
We journeyed together through this game of deceit
and emerged, well, only slightly scarred.
But as every twist in our tale has taught us,
when one door closes,
a secret passage inevitably opens.
I am absolutely thrilled to share with you
that "The Traitors" will return.
That's right.
Another season of famous faces, whispered secrets,
and heart-stopping betrayals is on the horizon.
Until then, keep your wits about you,
trust no one...
keep your friends close and your enemie-- Ugh.
you know the drill.
Fergus, heat up my cocoa!
