It was an all-out war this week on The Traitors. Fingers are pointing in every direction, bodies are piling up, and all of the Traitors absolutely hate each other. It’s truly unlike anything we’ve ever seen, might as well just give them the Emmy now.
Last week, the ghost of Bob the Drag Queen continued to haunt the castle because his banishment sparked a chain of events within the Traitors turret that can’t be undone. In The Traitors Season 3, Episode 6, “A Dysfunctional Family,” the drama between the three remaining Traitors led to some explosive results and frustratingly bad gameplay.
What happened on The Traitors Season 3, Episode 6?
After banishing Nikki from the game last week, we finally made it through an episode without hearing the word “coffin.” That theory has finally been put to rest, but the war that has been brewing between Wes and Boston Rob finally came to a head. Only one reality TV legend made it out alive. Meanwhile, the infighting within the Traitors alliance took a turn for the worse. A beast within Carolyn has been awakened, and there’s no turning back now. Keep on reading for all of the tea on this chaotic ride of The Traitors.
The Traitors reach a temporary truce
Episode 6 picked up with Carolyn looking as frazzled as ever while confronting her fellow Traitors in the turret. She was already PO’d about Boston Rob driving the bus over Bob the Drag Queen, but then she found out Danielle was coming for her. This is a woman on the edge.
“There’s nobody that I want to murder other than you two right now,” Carolyn told her fellow Traitors.
Rob pushed to get everyone back on the same page, and Danielle tried to apologize to Carolyn. She promised to try to “make it right,” but at this point, we’re not sure she has the capacity to do that. Her gameplay has been all over the place this season. That’s not going to get better overnight.
Who got murdered on The Traitors Season 3, Episode 6?
There was so much fighting happening between the Traitors in the turret that it’s hard to believe they were able to decide on someone to murder. Ultimately, they chose to drop the axe on Bob H.
We kind of saw this one coming because Bob just appeared on Watch What Happens Live this week to talk about the show. Dorinda was a guest on Andy Cohen’s show the same week she was murdered, too. Are we sensing a pattern here? Perhaps. Either way, Bob definitely didn’t see it coming.
“No f*cking way,” Bob said in reaction to his murder. “I’m just angry over the train of thought of why I was murdered.”
Fortunately for him, it seems like his death will be avenged in the very near future. The walls are quickly closing in on Boston Rob with Detective Derrick leading the case. The Big Brother alum has been quietly putting all the clues together about these recent murders. He just needs to get everyone else to see it.
A big Traitor gets blown up
For this week’s mission, they let Alan blow stuff up, and TV really doesn’t get any more exciting than that. The superbly-dressed host brought the players back into the woods, where they were greeted by a 24-four-foot-tall Traitor. At first, it kind of seemed like they were about to recreate The Wicker Man.
Alan explained that there were crates scattered throughout the woods, and the players would need to answer number-based questions to open them. Three of the crates had shields, but the rest were filled with gunpowder. They needed to collect enough gunpowder to make Alan’s explosion big enough to “topple the Traitor.”
The producers behind the cameras had these people scooping gunpowder into buckets like they were kids playing in the sand. They had to run their buckets back to the giant Traitor so that Alan could pull the trigger. Truly fascinating stuff happening here, folks.
The real explosive moment during this challenge was a side conversation Carolyn had with Gabby. She wanted to know if Danielle was the one throwing her name around behind her back. Carolyn previously tried getting this information out of Britney, but she wouldn’t fess up to it. Gabby isn’t that girl. She spilled all of the tea because she’s a friend to everyone — except maybe Nikki.
Little did Gabby know, she just ruined the chances of Danielle and Carolyn recovering their alliance. That information set her off, and Carolyn vowed to take down Danielle. So much for her trying to make things right.
While Carolyn mentally recovered from that information, the rest of the players continued scooping up their gunpowder. They managed to blow up the giant Traitor, banking $30,000 into the prize pot. It currently stands at a cool $100,000.
Rob and Wes go head-to-head
This week’s roundtable perfectly encapsulated why The Traitors succeeds from its mix of gamers and professional reality stars. The Big Brother and Survivor players are red in the face trying to play this serious game while the Bravolebrities are sitting pretty trying to make good TV.
For example, the roundtable started with a random back-and-forth between Dolores and Sandoval. That’s a gag for the Bravo fans watching at home, but it’s completely useless in the context of this roundtable. Just leave that man alone.
Fortunately, Detective Derrick pushed the conversation in the right direction. He started presenting all of his evidence about why Rob should be the next player banished. It was a compelling, fact-based argument.
Rob was waiting for this all day and deflected the suspicion over to Wes, who was also waiting all day for this. They went back and forth like a game of chess, with Wes revealing how Boston Rob immediately switched up on Bob the Drag Queen after the comment he made in Episode 4.
This argument could have gone somewhere, but Carolyn decided that it was her turn to take the floor. For the first time all season, she spoke up at the roundtable. We’re so glad she did.
Carolyn takes a stand
Just when you thought that the self-sabotage of these Traitors couldn’t get any worse, here comes Carolyn. Armed with pure frustration for Danielle, she started making her case for why Danielle was actually the person who should be banished.
“Wes is clearly being used as a scapegoat here,” Carolyn said before pointing her finger at Danielle.
The Survivor alum went into a tearful monologue about how Danielle had been sabotaging their alliance. She claimed it wasn’t personal, but Danielle was like, “Um, yes it is.” Meanwhile, Boston Rob was completely flabbergasted at how quickly things had gone downhill for the Traitors.
The cherry on top came when it was time for the votes. Carolyn wound up voting for Danielle. Danielle voted for Rob. What is happening here? This is a crisis.
Who got banished on The Traitors Season 3, Episode 6?
This was a close vote, and once again, it might have gone differently if the non-gamers would think before writing on their chalkboards. Dolores threw her vote away at Tom, just because she felt like it. Chrishell voted for Wes because they felt like he was being too abrasive. Dylan said he just wanted to follow whatever Rob did.
The vote came down to a 7-6-1 split with Wes getting banished from the game. At this point, you couldn’t help but feel bad for Detective Derrick. He presented a clear case for why Rob is a Traitor, only for half of the reality stars to completely ignore everything he said.
Wes on the other hand? It’s hard to feel bad for him. As he made sure to mention, he’s the winningest person in the room. He flipped the remaining players the middle finger on his way out of the castle.
The Traitors continues on Peacock every Thursday at 9/8c.
