Backstabbing, scheming, and, of course, murrrrder. These are just a few things to expect from season 3 of The Traitors. The season premiered on Thursday, January 9, with host and fashion icon Alan Cumming welcoming a brand new crop of contestants to the castle...only for a handful to leave after The Traitors season 3 eliminations, murders, and banishments began.
Each week, the Traitors murder (or recruit) a fellow player as the Faithful try to root out the Traitors before they're eliminated next—all in the hopes of securing the $250,000 prize. With new twists and turns, season 3 is moving fast, so it can be hard to keep up. But never fear, that's why we're here: to help keep you up to date on all The Traitors season 3 murders and banishments.
Watch 'The Traitors' on Peacock
Spoiler alert: The following contains spoilers for The Traitors season 3. Proceed with caution. And catch up on Peacock here.
The Traitors Season 3 Murders
Episode 3 Murder: Ayan (Faithful)
It's hunting season at the Traitors castle, and the Real Housewives are the prey. For their second murder, the Traitors—now including Survivor's Rob Mariano (aka Boston Rob)—chose to go after Real Housewives of Dubai's Aya (or, as Alan called her, a "real housewife of Du-bye-bye"), hoping to create more chaos and potentially put a target on fellow Housewife Robyn Dixon's back.
Episode 2 Murder: Dorinda (Faithful)
After sacrificing herself for the good of the team in the very first challenge, Dorinda was murdered on night one. She may have survived six seasons of The Real Housewives of New York City, but ultimately, she didn't have what it takes to escape the Traitors.
The Traitors Season 3 Banishments
Episode 3 Banishment: Tony (Faithful)
Tony was banished by his fellow Faithfuls, even after he volunteered to go first in a challenge, costing him and his partner a shield. Unfortunately, his reluctance to sacrifice for the team made him a suspect, and that—coupled with his ridiculous request that a female player sacrifice herself in the first challenge—left him in the hot seat. Toxic masculinity strikes again! Okay, it was probably Boston Rob's (a newly-minted Traitor) announcement that he had given Tony his shield in the last episode and not received anything in return. Ouch.
Final words: "You're a sell out, bro." [@Boston Rob]
Episode 2 Banishment: Wells (Faithful)
Unfortunately for Bach Nation, the Bachelor in Paradise bartender became the first player voted out on season 3. Wells tried his best to fit in with the group, but in the end, an accusation from Robyn was enough to send him packing, with Carolyn casting the final vote.
Final words: "Playing a smart game isn't always the smartest."
