Former Real Housewife Faces Elimination Threat After Colton Calls Her Out
Lisa Rinna’s calculated strategy on The Traitors Season 4 is crumbling fast. After being publicly exposed by fellow contestant Colton during Episode 6’s roundtable, the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star finds herself in a precarious position as one of the season’s original Traitors.
Rinna, who started the season as an OG Traitor alongside Candiace Dillard-Bassett and Rob Rausch, has become the first member of their group to catch significant heat. Colton’s brief mention of her name during the roundtable was enough to spark suspicion among the Faithfuls, with three other players writing her name down for banishment.
A Traitor Under Fire
The veteran actress initially tried to maintain her cover by keeping a low profile, but her strategy has backfired spectacularly. Rob Rausch, her fellow Traitor, even voted against her at the roundtable—prioritizing his public alliance with other players over Traitor loyalty. This move has fractured the turret’s trust, leaving Rinna with few allies among her fellow Traitors.
“She’s in a lose-lose position,” according to power rankings analysis from The Ringer. If Rinna murders Colton, it signals her guilt as a Traitor. If she doesn’t, Colton will continue building a case against her with the other Faithfuls.
A Risky Play Ahead
Rinna’s only lifeline is the upcoming murder in plain sight at a banquet in the next episode. The game mechanic requires an unsuspecting Faithful to touch an amulet on her chest to trigger an elimination—a high-risk move that could either revitalize her game or confirm her status as a Traitor.
For viewers eager to catch the action, new episodes of The Traitors air on Peacock. Fans wondering when does Traitors come out can tune in for fresh episodes as the drama intensifies. Those asking what time is Traitors on tonight should check Peacock’s schedule for the latest release times on their preferred viewing platform.
The season has already claimed one major surprise: Donna Kelce, the secret Traitor whose identity was hidden from both the audience and the Traitors themselves, was voted out in Episode 3. Her early exit robbed viewers of what could have been a game-changing twist.
The Rinna Renaissance?
What makes Rinna’s current predicament particularly noteworthy is the contrast from earlier in the season. Initially, fans praised her for showing a lighter, more self-deprecating side than her often combative Real Housewives persona. Without the pressure of producing storylines or leaking to the press, Rinna seemed to finally be enjoying herself.
That goodwill has evaporated. With each passing roundtable, her survival odds diminish. Unless she executes a flawless murder in plain sight at the upcoming banquet, Rinna appears headed toward banishment—making her one of the season’s most dramatic downfalls.
