From bruised egos to blown-up alliances, the castle has become a battlefield of betrayals and VERY personal feuds between reality TV’s biggest stars.

WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD:

A surprising clash between a Real Housewives star and a Survivor winner was a driving force of tension while filming season 4 of The Traitors.

Insiders have claimed some of the cast have “turned” on Yam Yam Arocho, the winner of Survivor 44, since filming due to feeling he “betrayed” them.

The fan-favorite CBS star became one of the most disliked players amongst the cast due to sneaky moves he made during the game, a source alleged.

“Candiace specifically has problems with him. She absolutely lost trust in Yam Yam, and tensions boil over into a mid-season blowout,” the insider spilled of The Real Housewives of Potomac star Candiace Dillard Bassett.

“She feels Yam Yam betrayed her,” they shared, adding that their clash erupts publicly and leaves the rest of the cast choosing sides.

“The fallout he causes reportedly shifts the entire dynamic of the season, and post-filming, Yam Yam has basically been iced out.”

Just ahead of the show airing, Candaice said she was still furious as someone she thought she could trust “did her dirty.”

While she didn’t name names, fans widely speculated she could be talking about Yam Yam, given clues from the trailer.

But the drama doesn’t stop there.

Love Island legend, Maura Higgins from the UK franchise, and Rob Rausch from Love Island USA, also found themselves on opposite sides of the drawbridge – and the results weren’t pretty.

Upon joining the show, Maura apparently felt her franchise-mate was a shoo-in to be an easy alliance member of hers.

However, she was apparently left furious and hurt after Rob refused to align with her early in the game.

“She felt abandoned by him on set,” the insider explained, noting Maura believed it was an unspoken rule that showmates stick together.

Instead, Rob allegedly had little interest in teaming up and focused on doing his own thing, which was a move Maura felt completely “torpedoed her game.”

“She felt he betrayed her and ruined her chances,” the source added, saying Maura hoped to channel Survivor and Traitors icon Parvati Shallow, using charm and flirtation to advance.
