After The Murder

Castmates… After The Murder is back and episode 7 of The Traitors US (Season 4) gave chaos, couture, and cold-blooded gameplay.

Welington is joined by a stellar panel — Jazmine from Channel Surf and Parish (host of Pardon Me TV) — to break down the infamous banquet that kicked off the episode in full “black dinner” madness. From Lisa Rinna’s founding-father-meets-sailor realness to Candiace’s Medusa headpiece, we rank the best looks… then get straight into the mess.

The faithfuls scramble for the antidote as accusations fly, Natalie goes full fight-or-flight, and the cursed victim reveal shakes the whole castle. Then the game flips again with a new twist: a dagger that gives TWO votes — and Rob gets his hands on it… which is terrifying for everyone not named Rob.

At breakfast, the cracks in the turret turn into a full-on Traitors civil war: Rob refuses to protect Rinna, Rinna checks Colton, and Candace makes it clear she’s not going down quietly. By the time we hit the roundtable, it’s Rinna’s last stand, Yam Yam’s dying words become a smoking gun, and Rob goes way too aggressive… forcing Candace into a shocking vote that changes the whole endgame.

We close with predictions: Who wins the Traitor vs Traitor battle — Candiace or Rob? And should Candace target Colton first, or cut the snake off at the head?

This week on After The Murder, Welington Gomez is joined by Anthony Polanco (By Latin Men) for a very spirited breakdown of The Traitors Episode 5 — and whew… the faithfuls are a MESS.

We unpack Tiffany Mitchell’s shocking banishment and why being too smart is basically a death sentence in the castle, debate whether Michael Rapaport talked his way out of the game, and question why certain players keep skating by while others get thrown under the roundtable — fast.

From Eric’s infamous “laugh” testimony, to Colton’s chaos, to Candice walking a dangerously thin line as a traitor with no one truly riding for her, we get into:

• Whether Tiffany was unfairly targeted

• If Michael deserved to be banished regardless of being faithful

• The power dynamics, biases, and trust issues shaping every vote

• Why some faithfuls survive simply by staying quiet

• And how one wrong move could flip the entire game next episode

Plus, we break down the shield twist, speculate on who should be murdered next, and predict how long the traitors can keep running the castle before the walls start closing in.

If you love strategy, shade, and unfiltered opinions — this episode is appointment listening.

🩸 Because even when there’s no murder… the mess never stops.
