SPOILER WARNING: This story reveals major plot points from Episodes 1-10 of The Traitors Season 4.

On February 26, another The Traitors season of conniving, lying and clueless Faithful votes comes down to the moment host Alan Cumming lives for: Revealing the winner of Season 4. 

How to Watch

Stream The Traitors Thursdays at 9/8c exclusively on Peacock.

Will it be a Faithful, a Traitor, or maybe multiple winners, as was the case for The Traitors Season 3 and Season 2?

Regardless, there's still plenty of game yet to play in Episode 11, "The Finale," which will see the surviving cast of Faithfuls and Traitors whittled down to the laat four players who will be up for the final accumulated prize pot, and the bragging rights as the victor(s) of Season 4.

The last two Traitors standing are: Rob Rausch (Love Island) and Eric Nam (Musician).

However, one of those Faithful will not be in the game much longer because Episode 11 opens with the resolution of the latest cliffhanger: Who will be the "Murder" victim chosen by Rob and Eric, and to be revealed by Alan outside the entrance to Castle Ardross?

With that culling, there will be only be five players left in the game. How that next last player goes is a secret of the finale. But there will definitely be one final challenge to get the prize pot to its maximum value and then one more player going home. 

What is The Traitors' Fire of Truth and how does it work?

When the final four are settled, Alan will have them participate in his dramatic Fire of Truth ceremony which will determine the outcome of the whole season. Amongst those final four, Alan will give them the opportunity to "Banish" or end the game. This is the Faithful's chance to catch a Traitor. They vote to either Banish a player, or through an unanimous vote, they can immediately end the game.

The game only ends when they stop Banishing. If they vote to end the game and there are only Faithful players left, they split the prize pot evenly. If any of the Traitors remain standing, they take all the money as the winner.
