Who are The Traitors in Season 3? See murders, banishments and twists

Warning: Major spoilers for the third season of “The Traitors” lie ahead.

The reality TV Olympics have begun and fans of “Survivor,” “Big Brother” and “RuPaul’s Drag Race” are rejoicing.

“The Traitors” released its first three episodes of season three on Peacock on Thursday night, giving viewers a taste of the betrayals, surprises and murders to come. The cast includes 23 candidates, including two surprise players who were not initially announced to the public.

The Emmy-winning series is set in a Scottish castle where some contestants are chosen as traitors who must hide their identities as they work together to eliminate someone each night. The rest of the group, the so-called believers, must find out who the traitors are before they are “murdered” one by one.

Both the Believers and the Traitors work together as a team to participate in “Mission” challenges and increase their total prize pot of at least $250,000. Each episode involves a “murder” as well as an exile where everyone sits at the round table and votes on who they think is a traitor. If traitors are present at the end of the season, they will take all the money for themselves.

Here’s what you should know about the first episodes.

Who are the traitors? How many are there?

There are four traitors in Season 3, consisting of “Big Brother” star Danielle Reyes, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” winner Bob the Drag Queen (Christopher Delmar Caldwell), “Survivor” finalist Carolyn Wiger and “Survivor” winner ” Boston” Rob Mariano.

Danielle, Bob and Carolyn were all handpicked by host Alan Cumming at the start of the show, while Rob joined the team as a surprise player. Together, the four form the largest group of traitors the game has ever played simultaneously in one season.

Who are the surprise players?

In Episode 2, Cumming surprised the cast with three reality TV contestants they didn’t know would be there.

The first was Rob Mariano, better known as “Boston Rob,” who the group met early in the series. Cumming gave everyone a chance to put him in the game by sacrificing another player. However, no one was willing to accept the offer, so Rob was probably the first to be banned from the game.

However, Alan later surprised the group again with three participants trapped in cages, including Boston Rob, who joined as a traitor. The other two were “The Challenge” player Wes Bergmann and “Big Brother” winner Derrick Levasseur. All three players were granted protection from banishment, safety from murder, and a shield to protect a player of their choice from murder.

Who was murdered?

No housewife is safe in a Scottish castle. “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Dolores Catania was the first person “murdered” in Season 3 of “The Traitors.” While Carolyn argued that she should remain in the game as an easy target for banishment, Danielle and Bob decided that killing her would cause confusion.

The second “killer” was The Real Housewives of Dubai’s Chanel Ayan, who was also devastated because her game was interrupted so briefly that morning while she chose an outfit.

Who was banished?

Bachelor in Paradise contestant Wells Adams was the first person to be banned from the Round Table despite being faithful. With so little information available, it was Bob the Drag Queen’s accusations and The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania’s suspicions that sealed the bachelor’s fate.

Two-time “Survivor” winner Tony Vlachos was the second person to be banned at the end of Episode 3. Several players were suspicious of the police officer because of his background as a strategic mastermind. Boston Rob also claimed that Tony couldn’t be trusted because of a lack of communication between the two after Rob gave him a shield. During Tony’s banishment, he called Rob a “traitor” for his spontaneous betrayal.

What’s different about season 3?

Unlike the first two seasons, season 3 has brought a major game change. In the final episode, the banished players will no longer reveal whether they are a believer or a traitor, making it unclear whether there are still traitors.

Where can you watch The Traitors season 3?

All three seasons of “The Traitors” as well as the two seasons of “The Traitors UK” (host: Claudia Winkleman) and “The Traitors Australia” (host: Rodger Corser) can be streamed exclusively on Peacock.
