Yahoo Lifestyle A Third Housewife Sent Packing! Who Went Home on 'The Traitors' Tonight?
After a strong inaugural season in 2023, The Traitors really became THE must-watch TV sensation of 2024, not only becoming one of Peacock's most successful shows but also nabbing multiple Emmys. Now Alan Cumming has invited 23 new reality TV legends to his Scottish castle for midnight murders, devastating banishments and the chance to take home $250,000.
Last week, on an explosive episode, Survivor winner Jeremy Collins was murdered in an especially theatrical manner, via a literal nail in a coffin. Later at the Round Table, Boston Rob Mariano opted to target a fellow Traitor and sent home Bob the Drag Queen. This week, with only three Traitors remaining, two more players were sent packing, more shields were handed out and the cast returned to that creepy church for a riddle-themed mission.
Here's a recap of everything that happend on Episode 5 of The Traitors Season 3:
Who was murdered on The Traitors Season 3 Episode 5?
Robyn Dixon
The first victim in this fairly ho-hum episode was the Real Housewives of Potomac star who was murdered by the three remaining Traitors. Robyn fell under some suspicion early in the game when both Dorinda Medley and Chanel Ayan were both nixed. However, she'd fallen under the radar and of the few players without a Shield, she was one of the most low-key. Now that Robyn is gone only Dolores Catania remains from the Real Housewives contingent. Will she be murdered soon?
Who was banished on The Traitors Season 3 Episode 5?
Nikki Garcia
Last week some suspicion fell on both Nikki and Ciara Miller following the pair of them being selected by the Traitors to climb into coffins along with Jeremy. While the Bob the Drag Queen ambush spared them both last week, this week the Faithfuls seemed dead-set on sending one of the pair home. When Nikki's alliance mate Chrishell Stause began to suspect Nikki, however, she was eliminated in a nearly unanimous vote. As one of the more boring players remaining, her exit wasn't particularly interesting. Episode 5 did clear out two of the snoozier cast members, though, paving the way for a more interesting endgame.
The vote count:
Nikki (14) — Derrick, Tom, Chrishell, Britney, Ciara, Carolyn, Wes, Sam, Ivar, Rob, Bob, Dolores, Danielle, Gabby
Gabby (1) — Dylan
Ciara (1) — Nikki
Who won Shields during Episode 5?
After over half the cast won Shields in Episode 4, they were a much scarcer commodity this week. In a challenge involving riddles, only Dolores Catania and Ciara Miller won shields. That means the following 10 contestants are eligible for murder going into Episode 6:
Bob Harper
Britney Haynes
Chrishell Stause
Derrick Levasseur
Dylan Efron
Gabbey Windey
Lord Ivar Mountbatten
Sam Asghari
Tom Sandoval
