The night featured high-stakes Traitor infighting, a shocking murder, and a dramatic banishment that shifted the power dynamics in the castle.

• Murdered Overnight: Colton Underwood (The Bachelor star) was the victim of the Traitors’ kill. Candiace Dillard Bassett took the lead on the decision, targeting Colton to sever his close alliance with fellow Traitor Rob Rausch and protect herself after Rob’s betrayal of Lisa Rinna in the previous episode. Rob strategically allowed it, knowing Colton’s earlier suspicions about Candiace would make her the prime suspect without pointing back to him. The murder rocked the group, clearing the way for others like Kristen Kish and Mark Ballas to step up.
• Banished at the Roundtable: Candiace Dillard Bassett (The Real Housewives of Potomac, a remaining Traitor) was overwhelmingly banished by the Faithfuls in a near-unanimous vote (nine votes against her). Her downfall traced back to a “throwaway” vote she cast against Rob in Episode 7 out of spite over Lisa’s exit. That vote raised red flags, and her aggressive roundtable push—deflecting blame, accusing Rob of using Colton as a “beard,” and starting side drama between Tara Lipinski and Natalie Anderson—sealed her fate. She went out swinging, true to her Housewives style, but the Faithful saw through the personal grudge.

The episode ended on a major cliffhanger: With Candiace gone, Rob became the last original Traitor standing. In the turret, he was forced to recruit a new one, delivering an ultimatum to Eric Nam (the low-key Faithful and Colton’s friend): join the Traitors or face murder next. Eric’s decision hangs in the balance, setting up huge drama for Episode 9 next Thursday (February 12).

No recruitment was confirmed yet, so the Traitors’ ranks remain at one for now. The prize pot continues to grow after the episode’s mission (a quirky painting recreation challenge where Kristen won a shield), but betrayals are piling up fast.
