Who Was Eliminated on 'The Traitors' Season 2 This Week?
The Traitors is the best reality TV show currently airing, and Episode 4 just solidified that. A slow murder by poison. A funeral where one procession member doesn't know they're about to be buried. A warring house divided into two sides. A controversial banishment. Not to mention we had one Faithful quit before the episode even started.
Thankfully The Traitors (along with Alan Cumming and his over-the-top outfits) is back for Season 2. Originally, 21 players from shows like Big Brother, The Challenge and The Real Housewives entered the Scottish mansion and were assigned the titles of either Traitor or Faithful. Now they're eliminating each other one by one, duking it out for the $250,000 prize pot.
On Jan. 18, 2024, Peacock released Episode 4 at its new time slot of Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET, and A LOT happened. Episode 4 was pure mayhem and has set things up for a rocky next few episodes for both the Traitors and the Faithfuls.

Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu (Faithful)
In Episode 3 the Traitors were tasked with murdering their next victim via Poisoned Chalice, with the long-acting poison taking an undisclosed amount of time to kill the victim. Parvati Shallow, after roving the castle, finally managed to get Ekin-Su to drink from the cup. The Traitors, however, were shocked with Ekin showed up at breakfast the next morning only to find out the mission for the week actually involved the funeral of the poisoned Faithful. Only once she was in her coffin with the lid closed did Ekin-Su find out she'd become the Traitors' third victim.

Who was banished on The Traitors Season 2 Episode 4?

Larsa Pippen (Faithful)
Last week, Larsa seemed onto the fact that Dan Gheesling was a Traitor voting for him at the Round Table and making him uneasy. This week, trying to rid himself of one of his most vocal antagonists as well as weaken fellow Traitor Phaedra Parks and her Real Housewives alliance, he was all too pleased when people started to suspect her thanks to a breakfast toast she raised to her dearly departed boyfriend Marcus Jordan. At the Round Table, alliances began to solidify with Phaedra and her Real Housewives contingent going after the strong men while Dan, Parvati and their reality TV contingent took aim at Larsa. Ultimately Dan and Parvati had the numbers and another Faithful was ousted.
The vote count:
Larsa (8) — Bergie, CT, Dan, Janelle, Kevin, Parvati, Sandra, Trishelle
Kevin (4) — John, MJ, Phaedra, Tamra
CT (1) — Larsa
MJ (1) — Peter
John (1) — Sheree

Deontay Wilder (Faithful)
Overwhelmed from the events of Episode 3, where he led the charge to Banish Maksim Chmerkovskiy only to learn he was a fellow Faithful, Deontay Wilder opted to leave the game before the start of Episode 4. When the other players arrived in the breakfast room, his portrait already had the red "x" through it.

No one. During the funeral challenge, no shields were available meaning that everyone is eligible to be murdered prior to the start of Episode 5.
