It’s been a tough seven days for fans as they’ve waited to find out who would be the next celebrity banished during The Traitors Season 2, Episode 10. After finishing an explosive roundtable, where Phaedra told Pilot Pete she wouldn’t be kissing his ass for a rose, the episode ended on a cliffhanger, where MJ had the final vote, which would either send the Real Housewives veteran or The Bachelor packing. Plus, the Faithful could be inching closer to uncovering who else could be hiding behind one of those campy green cloaks. Here’s everything that went down in The Traitors Season 2, Episode 10: “The Weight of Deceit.”
Who was banished at the beginning of the Traitors Season 2, Episode 10?
Peter Weber was the seventh celebrity banished from The Traitors Season 2, Episode 10.
If you thought Peter had a chance of surviving against Phaedra’s sharp tongue and years of courtroom experience, you’d better think again. MJ revealed she voted to banish Peter, making him the seventh celeb and (fifth Faithful) banished from Alan’s castle.
Phaedra was elated. Well, as much as she could be. She knew her time in the house was coming to an end, especially since nearly half of the table voted to banish her. However, her co-stars were devastated. And you could see the defeat written all over their faces.
As they left the banishment room to discuss the night’s events, Trishelle tried her hardest to get the rest of the Bravo ladies to wake up and smell the coffee. Phaedra is a Traitor! However, her girls won’t give up on her that easily.
Who was murdered in The Traitors Season 2, Episode 10?
John Bercow was the seventh Faithful murdered in the Traitors Season 2, Episode 10.
Once the remaining Traitors, Kate and Phaedra, made it to the turret, they began discussing which Faithful would get the axe. After deliberating, it came down to John and Trishelle. Although Trishelle would’ve been the best move, they chose to murder the long-winded politician (hey, Dorit Kemsley) since he was likely the remaining Faithful to give Phaedra the hardest time.
At breakfast the next day, the group realized John was killed off. By this point, some of the remaining Bravo Faithfuls, like Shahs of Sunset’s MJ, started putting pieces together and concluded that Phaedra must be the remaining Traitor. But can Kate keep the heat off of her? She attempted to persuade Shereé and MJ into believing Sandra was the treacherous murderer. Keep reading to see if it’ll work.
MJ proves it to herself!
During a do-or-die challenge, Alan told the remaining contestants they must dig out chunks of gold hidden in a pile of [redacted]. Once located, they have to successfully cross a wobbly bridge built in the middle of a body of water.
“It’s just the Indiana Jones competition that I’m not really ready for,” Phaedra said in her confessional before attempting the course.
A few more celebrities tried their hand at the challenge, including MJ (who found the hidden shield), Sandra, and Shereé. However, CT and Trishelle used their skills from The Challenge to secure the money.
They zipped through the water like Usain Bolt — or Michael Phelps — whichever you fancy, cashing out a large chunk of money for the grand prize. And to the rest of the cast’s surprise, MJ tried again, made it across, and officially claimed that shield, which will keep her safe through the night’s next murder.
Phaedra almost cracks under pressure with Shereé
The cast returned to the castle to begin the night’s conversations surrounding the banishment after the competition. At this point, everyone except Shereé and MJ are convinced that Phaedra is a Traitor. So, the RHOA OG pulled her friend aside to get to the bottom of it.
“I [have] tried to protect you because they are gunning for you,” Shereé told Phaedra. “Who else could it be if it’s not you?” she asked. “It could be CT for all we know,” Phaedra replied.
“At the end of the day, we all know Faithfuls can not win the game if there’s a Traitor here. So, my job is to get Traitors out, and we just have to find them. But I need you also to help me help you,” Shereé continued.
“Honestly, looking at you, in your eyes, are you a Traitor?” she asked Phaedra. The question caught Phae Phae off guard. “You said what?” Phaedra asked. “Are you a Traitor?” Shereé asked again, to which Phae answered, “No, I’m not.”
The players head into the banishment room for the night’s roundtable discussion, and the stakes are at an all-time high.
Who was banished in The Traitors Season 2, Episode 10?
Phaedra Parks is the eighth celebrity banished in The Traitors Season 2, Episode 10.
Alan opened the door for debate, reminding the Faithfuls that this was one of their final chances to find a Traitor.
Trishelle opened the conversation, telling the others that Phaedra’s newest red flag was that she was quiet the night before when called out.
“That is the craziest argument in the world,” Phae said. “I’ve never even heard of something so ludicrous.”
Other players expressed their love for Phaedra but pointed to the signs. “Let’s not forget, I haven’t done anything for my name to be written down,” Phaedra said. “You have absolutely nothing concrete against me.”
“I don’t want to believe that you’re a Traitor,” Shereé said. ” I don’t know … If you have something else to say or to give us?” she finished. To which Phaedra said, “I’m very exhausted.”
“It just gets to a point where you really get tired of fighting.”
Phaedra’s fellow Traitor, Kate, expressed her frustration with her gameplay in her confessional. “I have gone to bat for you,” she said. “And now, you’re not even trying. Well, bad news, Phaedra, I’m not doing it anymore. You’re on your own.”
As players cast their votes, the moment was heartfelt. Except for Kate.
“Phaedra, my vote’s for you because there’s not a person at this table besides you who I could even stomach voting for. [While playing] this game, you’re more selfish than skillful, and it’s not fun to play games with people who play that way.” Whoa. Okay, sis. Let’s hope you bring that same energy to the reunion.
On her way out, Phaedra revealed her true status to the rest of the group. “I am the most fabulous, faithful … Traitor.”
Is Sandra on to Kate?
Following the roundtable, Sandra wanted to question Kate on why she got so personal with Phaedra before sending her packing. “It’s cause she was being selfish, and that’s not fun, that’s annoying.”
However, Sandra, the two-time Survivor winner, wasn’t buying it.
“Kate attacking Phaedra made me uncomfortable [and] rang alarm bells for me. It just doesn’t add up, and all I’m thinking is, ‘Could she be a Traitor?'” Sandra asked in her confessional.
Come back next week to see who wins it all — The Traitors or the Faithful.
