The Traitors Recap: The Traitors' Alliance Begins To Crack With One Dumbfounding Roundtable Vote

The first traitor-on-traitor blood has been shed!

Up until this point, traitors Rob Rausch, Lisa Rinna, and Candiace Dillard Bassett have been faithful (heh) to their fellow hooded companions. But in Thursday's episode of "The Traitors," that all changed at the roundtable when one traitor finally voted to banish a member of his or her own. But let's take this recap from the top, shall we?

We quickly learn that no one grabbed a shield at the last mission, and we all know what that means: This murder has been canceled! A true bummer for the traitors, who were all hoping to take out Colton for lowkey floating Lisa's name. Speaking of our former "Bachelor," his eyes are still dead set on Ron (poor Ron!) and Lisa. He even approaches Dorinda to request that she keep an eye on her ol' friend Lisa and at least keep an open mind. After all, Lisa voted for Porsha at the first roundtable, so a Housewife voting for one of her own wouldn't be a first.

Before we get to Episode 6's spicy roundtable, we'd be remiss to not discuss the return of Alan's creepy, weirdo cabin in the woods, only this time, it feels like the contestants got off a bit easy, doesn't it? No crawling through the bowels of the cabin. Yes, there were bugs, but none of the creepy-crawlies landed in anyone's hair or on their faces. (If you're looking for some of that action, Fox has a mediocre "Fear Factor" reboot calling your name.) The chainsaws and bloody walls and Ouija table were mildly entertaining, but having them run outside to gravesites instead of trapping them indoors to torture them longer? I wanted more carnage.

The first sign that something was amiss? Rob, who's come to enjoy Ron's company, goes to bat for his new friend in the kitchen... in front of Candiace and Lisa. Steering attention away from an ally is fine and dandy, but doing so in mixed company and at the potential expense of your fellow traitors and within earshot of said traitors? Red flag! Red flag! Red flag! 

Another wild convo pre-roundtable: Colton tells Lisa that he'll protect her at the roundtable if she agrees to protect him in the turret. She plays it off fairly well, telling him he's barking up the wrong tree, but man! That Colton's a gnat that won't stop buzzing around Lisa's head. When they finally get to the table, Ron once again defends himself. Everyone's voted wrong in the game before, yet he's the one constantly needing to defend himself. Make it make sense. 

Kristen brings up Colton's name, saying that he was very, incredibly, wildly wrong about Tiffany. Johnny says he feels like Colton's playing them like a puppet. It doesn't take long for the pendulum to swing back to Ron though, and eventually, he hits a wall. He says if he really wants to be a faithful, he should let them write his name down and instead, use his time to go around the table and say goodbye to everyone. Why fight a fight he isn't going to win? As he's doing so, Tara speaks up in his defense, as do Natalie and Rob. 

Colton says it they're looking for a name to move off of Ron, then Lisa should be the next one in the hot seat. He can't get over her vote for Porsha, which Natalie admits was sus af.

By the time Alan calls for silence, it seems the group has gotten absolutely nowhere. And when the chalkboards are counted, it's a tie between Ron and Lisa... until Mark casts the last vote that banishes Ron from the game. But the headline here? Rob votes for another traitor — Lisa! — because he didn't want to vote for his allies and friends Ron and Colton. Say what?! 

Lisa and Candiace are fuming. We only see a tad of the fallout, but our esteemed traitors don't have long to squabble — there's a banquet that's about to go down. And it's going to provide the perfect setting for another murder in plain sight. 

Were you surprised that Rob voted for Lisa? Is this the end of the traitors' harmonious partnership? Sound off in the comments!
