“Do You Know the Enemy?”
That, of course, is the premise of “The Traitors” and the task of the Faithfuls, but it’s also the title of the penultimate episode of season 4 of the Peacock reality competition show that has once again captivated audiences.
It’s been easier said than done for many of the Faithfuls, though, inside the Ardross Castle in Scotland.
While they have banished three traitors at various points in the game, two remain, including “Love Island USA” star Rob Rausch, who has successfully gone under cover and appears poised to win the game.
After outlasting the other two original traitors, both part of the Real Housewives franchise, he has recruited singer Eric Nam to join him in the turret. But Nam’s life as a traitor seems shaky at best.
The season started with 23 celebrities and reality TV stars and now it’s down to eight. Who will make next week’s finale and then have a chance at winning the prize pot?
Here’s what to know about “The Traitors” episode tonight, the season finale and the cast left:

When is the Traitors finale 2026? Traitors episode schedule
The season finale of “The Traitors” is next Thursday, Feb. 26, with a reunion to follow. The reunion was taped last week with Bravo’s Andy Cohen serving as the host.
Who’s left on the Traitors?
Eight players are left in the game, two traitors and six Faithfuls.

- Eric Nam: Traitor
- Tara Lipinski: Faithful
- Johnny Weir: Faithful
- Kristen Kish: Faithful
- Mark Ballas: Faithful
- Natalie Anderson: Faithful
- Maura Higgins: Faithful
Does Rob win Traitors season 4?
Viewers won’t know that until next week’s season finale on Feb. 26. But Rausch, the Love Island USA star who is the last original traitor left, appears to be the favorite.
He doesn’t have much, if any, suspicion on him, despite original traitor, Candiace Dillard Bassett, giving him votes at consecutive roundtables during the seventh and eighth episodes. Rausch also has two votes for an upcoming roundtable that he earned at a mission a few episodes ago.
He aligned himself with the right Faithfuls, maintained a calm demeanor and struck the other traitors before they could get him.
Rausch has appeared to play a flawless game. It would be a surprise if he doesn’t win it – likely by himself – and become the first traitor to leave the castle since “Survivor” legend Cirie Fields did it in season 1.
Tara Lipinski on the Traitors
Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir have taken their friendship from the ice skating rink to the castle.
The figure skating legends are on the NBC broadcast throughout the 2026 Winter Olympics.
And at the same time, viewers are seeing them compete on “The Traitors.”
The two have been having fun on social media when cross-promoting the show in Italy.
The two are Faithfuls on the show and somehow a majority of the cast wasn’t familiar with how close they were.
But when other players started thinking that they were traitors, they decided to go all-in on their friendship.
Both survived a tense roundtable last week but will they survive both being on the shortlist for “murder” in episode 10?
Did Stephen Colletti get banished?
Stephen Colletti’s time in the Ardross Castle came to an end after he was banished at the roundtable in last week’s episode.
Colletti, a Faithful, flew under the radar for much of the season but suddenly some suspicions grew on him.
The Traitors season 4 episode 9
“The Traitors” leaving viewers with a cliffhanger is nothing new.
And the end of episode 9 was a big one. The four Faithfuls on the shortlist for murder are Tara Lipinski, Johnny Weir, Natalie Anderson and Kristen Kish. They had to report to a dungeon to see they would be murdered.
Earlier in the episode, Nam accepted Rausch’s offer to join him as a traitor. Their first job was then to “murder” someone. And their first victim as a duo was Dorinda Medley, the final Housewife on the show.
Then, despite, the traitors making Lipinski look like a traitor, former “Laguna Beach” and “One Tree Hill” star Stephen Colletti was banished. Even so, Weir and Lipinski also received votes at the roundtable.
Nam also didn’t make it 24 hours as a traitor without Kish clocking the singer as behaving differently after his recruitment.
Could lead to Kish’s “murder” next?
