Welcome back, friends! We’ve reached the penultimate episode of Season 3 of The Traitors. The finale is approaching, which makes us a little sad. You know what else makes us a little sad? Cliffhangers – and this episode had a big one.
The Traitors Season 3, Episode 10, “The Power of the Seer” ended up in the middle of a vote, meaning that the season finale is going to be appointment television. Don’t make any plans for next Thursday! You’ll be busy.
Although the latest episode didn’t have much closure, there’s plenty to unpack. Britney received the ill-timed offer to join Danielle as a Traitor. She could either join the dark side with her Big Brother frenemy or exit the game altogether. Keep on reading for the full breakdown.
What happened in The Traitors Season 3, Episode 10?
After receiving an invitation to the dungeon last week, Britney weighed her options on joining the dark side. Then, Alan challenged the players to a mission that called back to some of the best challenges of Season 3. The players got the opportunity to win gold, but more importantly, Alan unleashed a mysterious new twist called the Seer. With the finish line around the corner, there’s no room for error.
Britney seals her fate
The last time we saw Britney, she was staggering her way through the dungeon, getting ready to be presented with the biggest no-brainer question of the season. If the only option is to join the Traitors or die, why wouldn’t you give yourself a shot to stay in the game?
With that in mind, Danielle unveiled herself as the last remaining Traitor, and Britney tried her best to look surprised. She was like, “Have you just been doing this this whole time?”
In a confessional, the Big Brother alum admitted that she wasn’t totally shocked to see Danielle as a Traitor. If it wasn’t already obvious, that last roundtable with Carolyn should have sealed the deal.
Without hesitation, Britney accepted the offer to become a Traitor, and the ladies hugged it out. They’ve come a long way since Episode 1, and now, they’re committed to crossing the finish line together.
Britney made her debut in the turret that night, and she immediately started dumping information on Danielle. For example, she told her that Gabby and Tom were the two players most suspicious of her. With only a few players left in the game, it didn’t take them too long to settle on a decision.
Who got murdered in The Traitors Season 3, Episode 10?
The next day at breakfast, we learned that the Traitors murdered Sandoval from Vanderpump Rules. Rest in peace to him. His sweaty pits and painfully misguided theories will all be deeply missed.
In a flashback, we see Danielle and Britney settle on killing Tom because they’re trying to find the past of least resistance to the end. He’s proven that he can take out a Traitor at the roundtable, and he’s unrelenting, with or without evidence. With that in mind, the ladies decided to kill him and set out on a mission to banish Gabby.
On the way to the mission that day, Danielle and Britney were in a car together practically grinning ear to ear about their new endgame strategy. They said it felt like “a fairy tale” how things were shaking out. However, this is The Traitors, and Alan had a big twist waiting for them.
The Seer could change the game
For this week’s mission, Alan had the players revisit some of the previous challenges of Season 3. It was a fun way to look back on how far we’ve come, and it was probably also a good way for them to run through any unused props they had lying around the castle grounds.
The most important thing about this mission was the prize at stake. Alan revealed that the person who collected the most gold in the mission would win the power of The Seer. Everyone was like, “Huh? What’s that?”
The Seer would get the chance to meet with somebody face-to-face and ask them point blank if they’re a Traitor. It could be the last hope for the Faithfuls to get some much-needed answers or another opportunity for the Traitors to bamboozle their opponents. With that on the table, they got started with the mission!
It started off with a callback to the funhouse from hell in Episode 3. Those creepy clowns with big golden balloons returned to challenge the players to a memory game. Then, the next challenge took them back to the dollhouse from Episode 8. The final round brought them to Episode 4’s cages, where Derek, Wes, and Boston Rob were introduced to the game.
In each round, the players had the opportunity to earn money for the prize pot. The person with the most money at the end would win the power of the Seer. So, who won all that game-changing opportunity? We don’t know. Alan said he’d keep that information private until after the roundtable.
Gabby and Danielle are under fire
Danielle and Britney made a strategy to start turning people against Gabby. Meanwhile, the former Bachelorette started working her way through the castle to start getting people to go against Danielle. This Bambi isn’t going down without a fight!
At one point, she sat down with Dylan and started presenting all of her evidence against Danielle. It was compelling! She heard Danielle coming from the bookcase right before the murder in plain sight. She also reminded him how Jeremy was the first person to mention Danielle’s name, and he wound up dead.
Meanwhile, Dylan didn’t seem very convinced, and he immediately ran to Danielle to fill her in on everything Gabby had just said. He’s making the same mistake he made with Boston Rob. Stop trusting those gamers, Dylan!
When Danielle realized that the roundtable discussion would come down to her and Gabby, she and Britney started running around the castle to try to start planting seeds. Seriously, Britney probably walked down the same hallway 15 times trying to find someone to listen to her. It all teed up for another epic showdown at the roundtable.
A wild card named Dolores
Ahead of this week’s roundtable, Alan reminded the players that this would be the last time someone’s identity would be publicly revealed by a banishment. In the finale, they’ll have to rely on their instincts and the evidence they’ve collected so far.
With that in mind, Britney started off the discussion with a relatively weak argument against Gabby. She said that at the beginning of the game, Gabby wasn’t interested in making friends. She stuck with the Bambis. Is that all you got, girl?
Gabby shut it down, and she pushed back with all of the evidence in her arsenal. Ivar and Dylan sided with her, and it was Dolores from Real Housewives of New Jersey who sent everything into a tailspin.
Out of nowhere, Dolores announced that she would be throwing her vote to Ivar, based on what “Bob the Queen” said weeks ago at the roundtable. After throwing her votes away to Tom week after week, you’d think Dolores would feel exhausted from being wrong all of the time. Aren’t you tired, Dolores?
Who got banished in The Traitors Season 3, Episode 10?
When the votes started rolling in, it became clear just how much Dolores swayed the Traitors’ decision-making. Danielle and Britney knew that to save Danielle, they needed to vote with Dolores and go for Ivar. It was impressive to see them make that last-minute switch-up without ever saying a word to each other. Gamers are gonna game!
With three votes for Danielle and three random votes for Ivar, that left the players at a tie. Alan explained they would each have to make a final plea, and the remaining four players would then need to vote a second time.
Ivar’s plea to the group was straight to the point. He told them that if they sent him home, the Faithfuls would end up going into the finale with the odds stacked against them.
Danielle, however, took things to a theatrical level because, of course, she did. Rather than addressing everyone in the room, she locked eyes with Dylan and started tugging right on those vulnerable little heartstrings.
“Please don’t let me go out like this,” Danielle said while trying to force a tear out of her eye.
The second round of votes rolled in, and the begging didn’t work on Dylan. Obviously, Gabby sure as hell wasn’t changing her vote either.
For some reason, Dolores still voted for Ivar. It’s mind-boggling, but we’re going to try to let it go — especially since it paved the way for Britney to have the deciding vote. That means this season-long storyline of her and Britney’s Big Brother history is all coming down to this.
Who did Britney vote for? Find out next week because they hit us with a cliffhanger before showing the determining vote. No one got banished. We still don’t know who the Seer is, but we’ll see you at the finale!
The Traitors Season 3 finale drops on Peacock March 6 at 9/8c.
