THE Traitors have banished one of their own, and a major betrayal forms a rift between two key players in the game.

Tensions were high after last week’s roundtable when Lisa Rinna narrowly avoided being banished from the castle and being outed as a traitor.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!

The players attempted to shake off the evening at The Black Banquet; however, they didn’t get to rest for long as host Alan Cumming announced another murder in plain sight would be happening at the elegant bash.

The three traitors – Lisa, Rob Rausch, and Candiace Dillard-Bassett – were tasked to quietly murder the faithful who touched a flashy brooch worn by one of them at the party.

Lisa volunteered to do the deed and targeted Yam Yam, who quickly fell into her trap.

After missing the opportunity to drink the secret potion that could’ve saved his life, Yam Yam was killed and abruptly removed from the banquet.

However, on his way out, he warned the others that it appeared Lisa was the murderer after believing she weaponized him by kissing him on the cheek.

This raised red flags among the others that Lisa could be a traitor, especially after Colton Underwood made the claim at the last roundtable.

Rob jumped on the bandwagon in pegging Lisa as a traitor, in an effort to distance himself from the heat directed at the Real Housewives star.

Just like last week, the Love Island USA star voted to banish Lisa and convinced others to do the same.

His strategy prevailed, and Lisa was voted out and revealed as a traitor.

While Rob appeared to have gained the trust of many of the faithfuls, he did the opposite to his fellow traitor, Candiace.

Candiace retaliated by voting to banish Rob and made it clear in her confessional interview that their alliance was officially broken.

“He is willing to betray the people that helped him,” Candiace said about Rob turning his back on Lisa.

“He made vicious choices that will have dire consequences for him,” she said in her confessional.

Rob seems to target Candiace next, as he later discussed the possibility that the Housewives could all be traitors.

“Do you think it’s possible that it was a turret full of Housewives?” Rob is seen asking Colton and Maura Higgins after Lisa’s unveiling.

“I would’ve been happy to win this game with her, but now I have no idea how Candiace and I are gonna work together going forward,” Rob admits in an interview.

“Seems to me like we’re not,” he added.

Fans were shocked by the sudden shift within the traitors’ alliance and voiced their thoughts on social media.

“Wow, Candace. You’re putting Rob on blast. I hope they realize that you’re the only one that kept on defending Lisa. Why girl? Do you want to go home that badly,” one person wrote on Reddit.

“I will say this, Candiace and Lisa clearly don’t know the value of having a Faithful as an alley, which Rob clearly does see,” said another.

“There are so many faithfuls just sitting back and playing the background game, Rob is about to orchestrate them all turning on each other…Every single person is eating out of his hand, good luck to Candiace trying to convince any of them he’s a traitor,” a third reacted.

“Rob did not need to turn against Lisa this hard, now he’s just making himself look suspicious,” chimed in a fourth.
