Who Has Been Exiled or Killed?

(Caution: Spoilers for Season 3 of “The Traitors”…) 

After months of eager anticipation, Season 3 of “The Traitors” is finally here and surpassing all expectations. The initial four episodes have been filled with unexpected twists and shocking moments, leading several contestants to see their hopes of winning the $250,000 come to a swift end. 

Premiering on Peacock on January 9, this season introduced viewers to the original 21 contestants, all competing to contribute to the prize pot while avoiding the risk of being banished or eliminated by their peers.

The cast, which TODAY disclosed exclusively in June, features “Big Brother” icons Danielle Reyes and Britney Haynes, cunning “Survivor” champions Tony Vlachos and Jeremy Collins, and beloved reality TV personalities Chrishell Stause and Gabby Windey. 

As the host Alan Cumming made a spectacular entrance on horseback, he welcomed the participants to the show set in a Scottish castle, and the game quickly unfolded.

During the premiere, “Survivor” star Rob “Boston Rob” Mariano was revealed as a masked member of Cumming’s entourage. The contestants faced the tough decision of whether to exile Rob or allow him to join their ranks and vote someone out. 

They ultimately chose not to accept him, resulting in Mariano and “The Challenge” veteran Wes Bergmann and “Big Brother” Season 16 champion Derrick Levasseur joining the fray. This marked just the first of many ruthless decisions made by both Faithfuls and Traitors across the first four episodes.

By the conclusion of Episode 4, one contestant spent their final night in a coffin while another was deceived by their closest allies. A sneak peek for Episode 5 hints at the aftermath of one of the most treacherous and shocking moves so far.

So, who has faced elimination from Season 3 of “The Traitors” to date? Discover the details below, and be sure to return weekly as new episodes air at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT every Thursday to find out who else has been eliminated — and whether they were a Faithful or a Traitor.

In Episode 1, Dorinda Medley made a regrettable error by choosing to prioritize her team’s mission over her own safety. Her selfless gesture was overlooked by the other contestants, leading to conflicts with British royal Lord Ivar Mountbatten and others, which ultimately made her a target. The Traitors seized the opportunity, selecting her as their initial victim and eliminating her in Episode 2.

He initially intended to accuse “The Real Housewives of Potomac” star Robyn Dixon of being a Traitor following an uneasy encounter. However, Robyn skillfully deflected attention onto him. Wells was ultimately banished after receiving a majority vote, revealing before his exit that he was a Faithful.

Chanel Ayan

Chanel Ayan appeared to be ill-equipped for the deceit she encountered on “The Traitors.” Following her decision to exit the boat in Episode 1, she struggled to cope with Wells’ elimination, as he was one of her closest supporters. In Episode 3, the Traitors opted to eliminate another housewife for increased chaos within the castle. As Chanel faced her fate, she became emotional, questioning the cruelty of the Traitors.

Tony Vlachos

Tony Vlachos, a two-time winner of “Survivor,” had his journey in Season 3 cut short after misplacing his trust in the wrong allies. During the third mission, Bob Harper criticized Tony for not stepping up to go first and endangering his safety. This confrontation upset Tony, leading to a tense car ride home. At the roundtable, Bob Harper sensed Tony’s discontent and began to question if he was a Traitor. Despite Tony’s attempts to demonstrate his innocence, he was voted out in Episode 3. Before leaving, an emotional Tony confirmed his Faithful status and branded fellow “Survivor” alumni Rob Mariano a “sellout” for turning against him.

Jeremy Collins

The fourth episode commenced with the Traitors concluding a special task that required them to convene in a concealed chamber and write down three names, either Faithfuls or Traitors, onto a hidden parchment to compile a shortlist for elimination. The Traitors chose “Survivor” champion Jeremy Collins, “Summer House” star Ciara Miller, and retired wrestler Nikki Garcia. Each nominee was then forced to lie down in a coffin as they awaited their fate. Although Jeremy pleaded to the Traitors for a partnership if spared, they opted to eliminate him as he correctly identified “Big Brother” star Danielle Reyes as a Traitor. In his last testimonial, Jeremy became emotional, expressing his disappointment about not being able to bring home the prize money to his family.

Bob the Drag Queen

Bob the Drag Queen’s crafty run in Season 3 came to an end in Episode 4 when his fellow Traitors, particularly Rob, betrayed him. Bob had been vocal throughout the season, attempting to shift suspicion onto others to avert attention from himself. However, when he proposed that the group consider the possibility of the three newcomers — Rob, Wes, and Derrick — being Traitors, Rob saw this as a chance to backstab the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” favorite. Rob successfully convinced the group to banish Bob, leaving him stunned. After his expulsion, Rob confidently declared to the remaining cast that he had indeed lied and was a Traitor.
