The Traitors-One Traitor Standing

The Traitors – Season 4, Episode 8: The Queen Never Comes Off Her Throne

Podcast Summary

This episode is pure psychological warfare—and the walls officially close in on the traitors.

We start in the turret after Lisa’s banishment. Rob admits he feels bad personally, but strategically she had to go. Alan drops a major twist: Rob and Candace can either murder a faithful as usual or recruit a new traitor immediately. After debating the risks, they choose to stay a duo—no new blood, no extra liability.

They debate murder targets, with Candace floating several names. Despite hesitation, Colton ultimately becomes the victim.

At breakfast, suspicion explodes. Colton’s final words—hinting that Candace might be a traitor—spread fast. Candace tries to flip the narrative by encouraging players to look at people they’ve never suspected, subtly steering heat toward Rob. Meanwhile, Rob quietly lets it be known that Colton suspected Candace, planting seeds everywhere.

The gallery challenge only deepens divisions. The Red Team dominates, while the Green Team repeatedly fails. Trust lines harden, shields are taken, and alliances quietly solidify.

As conversations spiral, Candace realizes her name is everywhere. She confronts Rob directly, accusing him of manipulating Colton and playing snake-like. Rob insists it’s just gameplay, but Candace warns him: if she goes down, she’s taking him with her.

At the round table, everything unravels. Candace’s throwaway vote from the night before becomes the smoking gun. Her shifting suspicions, Rob’s “nervous” breakfast behavior, and Lisa’s gold allegedly ending up with Stephen all get dissected. Candace tries to explain her strategy, but the room has turned.

The votes are nearly unanimous.

Candace is banished—and in a dramatic reveal, admits she was a traitor. That makes two traitors banished in two nights, leaving Rob as the sole survivor in the turret.

But there’s no victory lap. Alan delivers the final blow: Rob must recruit a new traitor immediately. Rob chooses Eric, revealing himself and setting the stage for an entirely new power dynamic heading into the next episode.

Cold. Calculated. And far from over.
