THE Traitors fans have expressed their fury after a beloved faithful was banished and one traitor turned on the other.

In perhaps Season 4’s most dramatic roundtable yet, another innocent faithful was sent packing on Thursday night’s episode, leaving the traitors’ identities still a mystery.

After all the players kept their word and didn’t snatch a shield during last week’s challenge, none of the faithfuls were chosen for murder by the three traitors – Rob Rausch, Lisa Rinna, and Candiace Dillard Bassett.

However, everyone was still on the chopping block for banishment, and it was a dangerously close call between three key players.

Ron Funches‘ name was still top of mind for many, which had been the case ever since he mistakenly pegged Porsha Williams as a traitor early on in the game.

Many eyes were also on Colton Underwood after he took a swing and a miss at Tiffany Mitchell during a previous roundtable.

He also repeatedly called out Lisa for being a possible traitor, due to her seemingly quieter-than-usual behavior and for previously turning her back on fellow Real Housewives star Porsha.

At the start of voting, many players appeared unsure who they would pick, especially Rob, who had admitted in an earlier confessional interview that he was torn between his good friend, Ron, and his ally, Colton.

Rob ultimately voted for Lisa, following suit with several others, leaving her and Ron with the most votes in the end.

However, the TV personality narrowly escaped banishment, as Ron received the majority vote and was banished from the castle.

Fans were devastated to see Ron leave the show after being targeted for so many weeks before.

“I need everyone on #TheTraitorsUS cast to apologize publicly to Ron. They way they bullied him was so painful to watch!!!!!” one person wrote on X.

“I love Ron so much, idk why he is just so endearing and I wanna save him!” another said.

“That was a tough watch. Hated seeing Ron go. He seems like a genuine, nice guy who just wanted to play the game,” remarked a third.

“I hate that Ron has this huge target on his back because was wrong, yet Colton ain’t getting the same energy. He was loud and wrong yet no one is bringing up his name,” pointed out a fourth.

“These faithfuls are clueless. They’re going for Ron and Colton only to be wrong again,” added a fifth.

Meanwhile, others were more stunned by Rob unexpectedly voting for fellow traitor Lisa, in a move that could’ve severely shaken up his alliance with her and Candiace.

Rob profusely apologized to Lisa afterwards, but it appeared that she and Candiace were still shaken up by how close she had come to going home and being outed as a traitor.

And she’s still not in the clear, as Colton vowed to make it his mission to take her down after being convinced she was a traitor.
