The faithfuls have finally found a traitor, and it was our dearly departed Cody.
), he says in an exit interview that Cirie is teaching future traitors how to play the game.
He is absolutely correct.
Cirie comes over and tells her not to separate herself from the group.
Two smart, Black women bonding over a stupid game.
We love seeing it, which is why Cirie better win this whole damn prize pot.
The traitors job should get more challenging as the game progresses because there are fewer places to hide.
Who, among the Faithful, are we left with?
A bunch of bad players.
Andie hasnt had a theory or opinion the entire game.
Shelbe is too stoic to do just about anything.
Aries only skill is to find the shield somehow every time in the armory.
Kate and Rachel are so blinded by their hatred for each other that they cant see straight.
(What else would explain Rachel choosing those outfits voluntarily?)
Oh, sweet, handsome Quentin.
This isafterthe votes have been cast and cant be changed; why put himself out there like this?
Does he want to bro down with a member of theBig Brothercast?
What is wrong with him?
Arie is also onto Shelbe because he thinks she didnt react enough to Cody being a traitor.
Um, why is no one bringing up Quentin?
Never bothered to learn your name or where your accent was from.
It is the ghosts of past players, and its some challenge everyone is awful at it.
After the challenge, suspicion continues to grow about Shelbe.
When they get to the round table, Rachel asks Shelbe to say why shes definitely a faithful.
Theres nothing she can say.
This game is confounding because there is no way to prove one way or another that youre innocent.
Kate tells them, Just because youre not part of the clique doesnt mean youre a traitor.
Kate continues to go hard at the firepit.
When Quentin says he feels awful, Kate says, You should.
You sent home a single mother.
The group then gets up and goes inside, and Kate asks, Is it something I said?
She is a gift, our Kate.
Put her on every show.
Make her the new host ofJeopardy!Give her a seat onThe View.
Make her the new CEO of Twitter.
Kate immediately asks, Was it your honeymoon?
I mean, come on!
We dont even deserve this.
Before we can get to the challenge, the traitors have a big challenge.
Cirie and Christian choose Arie, who they think is the only one dumb enough to join their team.
He agrees, and we are once again three traitors deep.
But Arie hasnt proven himself especially adept or crafty at the game so far.
Maybe he can keep it up.
Arie, of course, won the shield.
Well, not really, but just about.
I hope Cirie realizes that, in the end, she wants to be the only traitor standing.
We have the scary bug cabin challenge, which Cirie says is the worst day of her life.
Here is a woman who has starved herself on a desert island multiple times, andthisis worse?
Damn, she must really hate those bugs.
Both groups get out and win $35,000 for the prize pot.
In the car back to the castle, Stephenie says that Christian has been a traitor all along.
Brandi has been saying that since day one.
At the round table, everyone goes in on Rachel, especially Kate, of course.
She says that Rachel lied and deceived onBig Brother, and shes doing it again here.
I mean, as good a theory as any, really, here onIdiot Mole.
Sister, your death warrant has been signed, and youre already dressed like Ms. Frizzle.
Dont make yourself look even worse as you go to the circle and tell everyone youre Faithful.
After Rachel is gone, everyone seems to have a moment of clarity.
Kate, Stephenie, and Andie all conclude that it has to be Christian.
As Christian and Arie are headed up to bed, he says, The traitors are going to bed.
I have a feeling she has just tied the noose for her teammate.
But therealquestion is, who will Kate be mean to now that Rachel is gone?
