Get ready for a thrilling night of betrayal and suspense! Tonight’s episode of The Traitors is here, and the stakes have never been higher. With just one episode left before the finale, the tension inside Scotland’s Ardross Castle is palpable. But here’s where it gets controversial: Love Island USA star Rob Rausch, one of the last remaining traitors, seems poised to outwit everyone—but is he really as safe as he thinks? And this is the part most people miss: his newfound ally, singer Eric Nam, might just be the weakest link in his plan.
Let’s break it down. The season started with 23 celebrities and reality TV stars, but now only eight remain—two traitors and six faithfuls. The faithfuls have managed to banish three traitors so far, but Rob Rausch has flown under the radar, aligning himself strategically and maintaining a calm facade. His ability to strike down the other traitors before they could turn on him has been nothing short of impressive. But does this mean he’s guaranteed to win? Not so fast. Despite his seemingly flawless game, there’s still a chance the faithfuls could catch on—especially if Nam’s shaky behavior raises red flags.
Speaking of red flags, Kristen Kish has already noticed something off about Nam, and that could spell trouble for the traitors. Meanwhile, figure skating legends Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir, who’ve brought their rink-side friendship to the castle, are walking a tightrope. Though they’ve survived so far, they’re both on the shortlist for ‘murder’ in tonight’s episode. Will their bond be their saving grace or their downfall?
Tonight’s episode, titled ‘Do You Know the Enemy?’, airs at 8 p.m. Central Time on Peacock. If you’ve missed any of the drama, all past episodes are available on the platform. And mark your calendars: the season finale drops next Thursday, February 26, followed by a reunion hosted by Bravo’s Andy Cohen.
Here’s the current cast lineup:
- Traitors: Rob Rausch, Eric Nam
- Faithfuls: Tara Lipinski, Johnny Weir, Kristen Kish, Mark Ballas, Natalie Anderson, Maura Higgins
But let’s address the elephant in the room: Is Rob Rausch really the favorite to win? While he’s managed to avoid suspicion—even after Candiace Dillard Bassett voted for him in consecutive episodes—his two votes for an upcoming roundtable could be a game-changer. If he wins, he’ll be the first traitor to leave the castle since Survivor legend Cirie Fields in season 1. But is his victory as certain as it seems? Or will the faithfuls pull off a shocking upset?
And what about Stephen Colletti, who was banished last week? His quiet strategy worked for a while, but suspicions eventually caught up with him. Meanwhile, Dorinda Medley became the traitors’ first victim after Nam joined Rausch, proving that no one is truly safe.
Here’s the burning question: Will Kristen Kish’s instincts lead to her downfall, or will she expose the traitors in time? Share your thoughts in the comments—do you think Rob Rausch deserves to win, or is there still a faithful who can outsmart him? The finale is just around the corner, and the drama is far from over.
