THE Traitors has revealed the Season 4 winner after a shocking betrayal among key players determined the victory.

Following a dramatic eight-week battle in which the celebrity cast attempted to pick off the chosen traitors within the Scottish castle, the Peacock series crowned its new winner on Thursday night.

This season, Love Island USA‘s Rob Rausch stood out for his strategic gameplay and strong alliances as a traitor, making him the one to beat alongside his recruit, K-Pop singer Eric Nam.

However, his good looks and charm repeatedly led the faithfuls to overlook him as a possible traitor, even all the way to the end.

Thursday’s episode began with host Alan Cumming revealing which faithful Rob and Eric decided to murder – aka, be burned alive in a coffin in front of everyone.

The only ones remaining were Dancing with the Stars pro Mark Ballas, Love Island UK star Maura Higgins, and Olympic figure skating duo Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir.

In an effort to pick off those suspecting them as the traitors, Rob and Eric chose to murder Mark, leaving just Johnny, Tara, and Maura as the remaining faithfuls, with two traitors still in the game.

The group further dwindled after the final roundtable when Johnny got the majority vote and was banished from the castle.

After he revealed he was a faithful, the final four were still convinced there was a traitor amongst them.

In their final attempt to nab the traitor, they went through two more rounds of banishing, with Tara and, in a shocking turn of events, Eric as the next to go.

Eric expressed his disappointment in Rob for choosing to banish him over Maura, given that they were both traitors and could have won the game together.

“If I had done that, I just wouldn’t be able to live with myself in that way,” Eric said in a confessional interview.

“It’s just a different line in the sand that we have. Money’s great, but I think that relationships are more important, and it doesn’t feel good.”

This left Maura and Rob as the last two standing to reveal their identities, and Maura was stunned to discover that Rob had been a traitor all along.

“He’s a bad man. He’s a really bad man, but good for him,” Maura said in her confessional interview. “Rob you’re a f***ing snake.”

Throughout the season, fans and even competitors who were murdered or banished believed Rob could win the entire game after observing his impressive gameplay—both on and off-screen.

The Alabama snake wrangler was originally one of three main traitors, including Real Housewives stars Lisa Rinna and Candiace Dillard-Bassett, before turning on them to get them banished.

Adding another twist, this season introduced a secret traitor whose identity was intentionally kept hidden from both players and viewers.

Travis and Jason Kelce’s mother, Donna, served in that secret traitor role, though she was discovered early in a “disappointing” turnout.

Others among the Season 4 cast were Natalie Anderson, Kristen Kish, Stephen Colletti, Dorinda Medley, Colton Underwood, Yam Yam Arocho, Michael Rapaport, Ron Funches, Tiffany Mitchell, Monet X Change, Porsha Williams, Caroline Stanbury, Rob Cesternino, and Ian Terry.
