LOYALTY & LIES

In the cutthroat world of The Traitors, sometimes it's good to be bad. Just ask this season's champ, Traitor Rob Rausch

And then there were three: Eric Nam, winner Rob Rausch and Maura Higgins.

Are you a Faithful or a Traitor — or just obsessed with Peacock's competition megahit?

At Us, we're 100 percent faithful to the only show that pits Housewives against NFL moms and Olympians in the Scottish countryside, with the fab Alan Cumming as host.

Season 4 of the series — in which Traitors try to secretly sabotage everyone else — upped the ante with new twists and turns, leading to the most savage finale in Ardross Castle history on Feb. 26. To recap: After banishing figure skater Johnny Weir, the final four — Love Island's Maura Higgins, Olympic gold medalist Tara Lipinski, K-pop star Eric Nam and Love Island USA's Rob Rausch — convened for their last vote. Rob, a Traitor from the beginning, had recruited Eric late in the game; when they were left standing alongside Maura, Rob mercilessly played his opponents against each other while secretly promising each one his allegiance — and 50 percent of the prize. Instead, Rob won and kept the $220,800 cash prize for himself.

Shortly after the cast taped the reunion, we sat down with the final three, plus Tara and gamer Natalie Anderson, to unpack season 4's cold-blooded betrayals — and find out whether the smoked salmon was really that good.

The reunion brought the cast back together-minus Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir, who were busy covering the Olympics in Italy!

SNAKE IN THE GRASS

Rob is the first Traitor and solo player to win since season 1's Cirie Fields in 2023. Viewers — and some costars — initially mistook the Alabama snake wrangler for a smooth-brained himbo. It soon became clear that his gameplay was topnotch.
