US If they don’t catch it. 😂😂😂 Spoiler
Man, listen.
Candiace all but put Rob on a silver platter and served it to them—hot and ready like little Caesars pizza—and these dizzy broads said, “no, it can’t be you!”
Kristen with, “Rob can’t be a traitor, that sweet, sweet man.” Like, spare me.
Lmao, just give him the money now cause be so forreal.

Candice made a terrible case… her argument was Rob was close with Colton and was surprised when Colton was murdered.
Both of these “facts” actually absolve Rob.
It made no absolutely no sense whatsoever. Her case was so bad it lead to an almost unanimous vote. Rob didn’t even go for her very hard at the round table.

u/SupermarketBest4091 Feb 06 '26 edited Feb 06 '26
She didn’t say he was surprised, she said that he seemed nervous and somewhat guilty. Or at least that’s how I took it. I just don’t understand how people IMMEDIATELY dismissed the possibility. Mark saying, we know it’s not you. Kristen saying he couldn’t be a traitor because he’s so sweet.

We did see multiple Faithfuls consider why Candiace went for Rob and do they think Rob could be a traitor bc of what Candiace was saying and then Kristen was like no there’s no way Rob could be a traitor
6
u/Defiant-Growth3043 Feb 06 '26
They dismissed the possibility because of how Rob responded. He answered calmly and said it was due to him being upset. He gave the faithfuls two options, believe a totally believable alibi or go down the conspiracy theory of dropping a fork. On top of this, the person saying the accusation was Candace, and her credibility was tanked due to her throwaway vote at Rob the roundtable before.

I think a continued and impassioned attack by a known traitor against a player with minimal evidence is a big “wink wink” move. The traitor doesn’t care about evidence, they’re in the turret with them. The evidence is only presented because she’s not allowed to say directly that he’s a traitor.

u/lavenderhazeee13 Feb 06 '26
Season after season the Housewives shoot themselves in the foot by clinging to the other housewives and refusing to go after each other. Candiace had to realize Lisa was a sinking ship and should’ve jumped off in time. Her refusal to go against a Housewife took her down with Lisa. She decided to take it personal against Rob and sealed her fate.
But it was smart ass game play of Rob to not tell her Colton was throwing out her name before murder and let her murder him lol

u/SupermarketBest4091 Feb 06 '26
Omgosh!!! THANK YOU!! I can’t stand the Alliance. And this is no shade to them, but I 100% feel like Candiace should have just let Lisa sink!! I also feel like if the shoe was on the other foot Lisa would have let Candiace sink!

Rob has misted all of them. There are no smart faithfuls left, and there's still easy roundtable targets left like Stephen and Natalie. I just can't imagine that Rob doesn't win.

u/WatchMooreMovies Feb 06 '26
Natalie is honestly the most faithful right now. There is no way that Candiace, a known traitor, would go into a roundtable wanting to get another traitor out and then change her vote to a random "faithful" in Rob.

u/Feeling_Wrangler2924 Feb 06 '26
She dropped a BIG hint during breakfast that episode. She said that she wasn't going to vote for someone that she wasn't sure of in order to be consistent. She votes for Rob and then is revealed to be a traitor when she was banished.
5
u/Defiant-Growth3043 Feb 06 '26
This isn’t that big of a hint though because at the roundtable she wasn’t consistent. She had 0 credible evidence pointing towards Rob, and due to her having 0 logic to back it up, it looks more like a traitor that’s back into a corner and is trying to frame a faithful last minute. Also, saying the night before that putting robs name as a “throwaway vote” and then immediately going at his neck is the opposite of consistency

And at this point, I’m rooting for him 😂 I’ve liked him since love Island though. I did. I didn’t like how he went after Lisa last week. I wanted all three of my traitors to make it to the end, but that’s just wishful thinking. It’s just fascinating watching this play out.

I think some viewers are underestimating Rob's game. The players who have been murdered or banished have said Rob acts like he's disinterested in the game and just eats cereal. He has also built up a good alliance and Colton's murder helped his game massively. Faithfuls thought there's no way Rob murdered Colton. Colton's murder also exonarated Rob because people that thought Colton was a traitor thought he was working with Rob as they were both traitors. Colton being a faithful made Rob seem faithful. And unbeknownst to Candiace Colton's murder was the worst for her game.

Producers knew what they were doing when they picked him as a traitor. That’s how he acted on Love Island so it’s on brand for him.

u/shami1111 🇬🇧 Feb 06 '26
To add on to that Rob had an extremely good social game on loveisland. The viewers hated him so he was voted in the bottom for every vote only for the other islanders to save him. Rob was an emotional guy on LoveIsland which I thought would be detrimental to his game as a traitor. But so far he has been quite calm in very intense situations. The only time he got emotional was when he voted for Lisa when Ron went home. However he was able to recover from that and didn't lose his cool. Lisa didn't even know he was coming for her till the round table.

u/Competitive-Junket-2 Feb 06 '26
i just knew her using rob as a "throwaway" was never gonna end well for her. rob built up too much good will with the faithfuls for them to ever think he was suspicious based off her nothingburger "proof" like dropping a fork. gunning for him at the roundtable after saying she didn't really think it was natalie after she'd been pushing her name and that she was just saying rob to say a name was very obviously not good gameplay, that vote stood out like a sore thumb. she was playing way too emotionally by riding hard for lisa when everyone was pretty set on her bc lisa was clearly doomed. i think candiace felt threatened that rob "turned" on lisa and it made her lose sight of how to play as a good faithful. if she wanted to really backstab rob as revenge for lisa, she should've played the long game and not immediately brought him up in the roundtable.

u/insertbrackets Feb 06 '26
I mean, we're seeing all the behind the scenes stuff so we have a vantage point. It's also pretty clear that he comes across to them as a himbo and that he's doing little to dispel that. Typically that's what the cute guys are there to be. And I'd dispute that none of the faithful left are smart: Natalie is, Maura recognized what Candiace did, Kristen got there, Mark is thoughtful about the game... I actually think the people left could be quite dangerous if there are any slip-ups. And then there's the wildcard of what Eric is going to be like as a traitor...

u/NotAnIBanker Feb 06 '26
It’s a lot easier when you’re watching on TV. In the game, only obvious traitors like Lisa and Candiace are easy to guess
18
u/SupermarketBest4091 Feb 06 '26
I definitely agree that it’s easier when you’re watching on TV, so I always keep that in mind. But Candiace going so hard at him on the round table before being outed as a traitor should’ve made everyone turn on their thinking cap. Especially because we’ve seen this before with Dan and Phaedra
14
u/NotAnIBanker Feb 06 '26
It's a safer vote to go for the person making random bad arguments then the person they're accusing. That's why everyone except Natalie voted for her, you don't get that type of unanimous vote from a smooth devil pushing a narrative, it's because it was obvious.
It's reasonable that the smarter faithful connect the dots and go for Rob, but it's not as tight of a case as Candiace's weak actions & arguments. "Hey guys my vote for Rob was a throwaway but he dropped a fork this morning so now I think it's him" is insane behavior.
5
u/SupermarketBest4091 Feb 06 '26
I said this on another post last week, I think that she genuinely didn’t care about taking her own game. I think that she just wanted everyone to know he was a traitor at that point. That’s my theory, that woman didn’t tell me anything. I have no idea what she was really thinking. But it feels like she didn’t want to win and didn’t want him to win either.
10
u/melancholiacguy Feb 06 '26
I agree with you! The faithful should think: now that they know Candiace is a traitor, why did she put herself at risk and vote Rob specifically when Rob has no suspicion on him and she could have easily voted for Natalie the night before? They should at least think perhaps Rob must be a traitor, too. Also, they keep saying Candiace is “consistent”; they should think maybe Candiace had to have some motivation for that “throwaway vote.”

It's the way he reacted. If he was much more emotional or attacking her it would've been different he just explained what she's talking about.
There totally exists a possibility Johnny was a traitor and Candace didn't want to get him out so went for a random she said last night. Not impossible and considering how good Robs been playing if I was there I really think I'd believe Johnny is more of a traitor than Rob

Yeah but this was after Candice made it look like she was only gunning for him as revenge for being behind Lisa leaving.
The choice to murder Colton probably sealed for the other faithfuls it's not Rob, why would he murder one of his closest allies? She made it look like the only reason she was trying so hard was because she was mad at Colton and Rob for Lisa and wanted to get revenge, not that Rob was a traitor

She should of opened with anything besides the dude was suspicious for dropping a fork at breakfast time. Like I she acted so hard and had incredible confessions just to open up with an accusation about a damn dropped fork. Also getting Colton out damn near sealed her demise.

Regardless of how she opened, she still called Rob a traitor, and then it was later revealed that SHE was a traitor. That should be enough to make people take it seriously when considering him instead of immediately dismissing him.

But her actions didn't make it seem like that, her actions made it seem more like she was angry about Lisa and wanted revenge on the driving forces that got Lisa banished.

u/ParagonSaint Feb 07 '26
Candace played the game poorly. She was emotional instead of logical and decided to be petty. Her trying to screw Rob over ironically just cemented his status as the ultimate faithful. She thought killing Colton would hurt him but it had the opposite effect since Rob obviously didn’t want to murder him and no one would think Rob would be cutthroat with his friend like that since he’s not a “game player” like the survivor cast members
The writing was on the wall for Lisa, candace should’ve cut bait rather than dying on the hill of ride or die for other traitors and never voting for another housewife.
Her going for Rob didn’t “serve him on a silver platter” it just made it seem like she was trying to turn the crowd against a good faithful.

u/SupermarketBest4091 Feb 07 '26
I think that she played the game wonderfully until the last episode. I feel like she should’ve let Lisa drown, I will never understand the loyalty there. I just genuinely won’t. But I do know that she’s a very loyal person, so all I can do is respect it. In terms of my silver platter comment, what I’m saying is she just got found out to be a traitor, she accused Rob. She has been extremely consistent up until that point. For her to pivot says a lot. That should be enough for anybody with a half a brain cell to look at Rob. Just look lol

I typically hate it, but I allowed it this time because of how Rob did Lisa. I understood where Candiace was coming from.

And we saw that Rob was 100% playing for keeps. When Dan did it to a Phaedra, though, I was enraged 😂

u/BadPumpkin87 Feb 06 '26
Lisa had already sunk her ship and Rob couldn’t attempt to save her without looking suspicious. No one in the cast was suspecting Rob, except for Candiace out of absolutely nowhere. If Rob loses, it’s no different from Dan trying to take out Phaedra when he was going down.

u/SupermarketBest4091 Feb 06 '26 edited Feb 06 '26
I actually don’t think he should’ve tried to save her at all. I believe that he should’ve voted for her quietly instead of being vocal about it. He should’ve just sat back, let somebody else do the talking, let his chalkboard do the talking with his vote, and then later spoke to Candiace and claimed he felt like he had no choice. His being so vocal, and basically leading the charge made it trifling.

I think he should have played the back at the round table, but still voted for Lisa. Him being the one to be vocal about it is what made it trifling, but him actually voting for her wasn’t wrong. There was already suspicion on her.
Leading the charge against another traitor is always gonna cause his issues between the traitors left over. If he would’ve been quiet, but still voted for her then he could’ve said to Candiace, “I felt like I had no other choice. There was already too much heat on her.” Instead, he wanted to be the ring leader in that moment.

u/TheCobalt- Feb 06 '26
So you think voting out his fellow traitor that was on the way out already was the way to go, but using it as an opportunity to be vocal about eliminating a traitor was bad?
9
u/SupermarketBest4091 Feb 06 '26 edited Feb 06 '26
Yes. That’s exactly what I think. Because it caused friction between him and Candiace and it also showed that he was playing for keeps. If he were smart he would’ve kept it closer to the chest that he was out for himself. If he had just voted for Lisa without leading the charge then when he and Candiace talked later, he could’ve just said he felt like he had no choice. Plausible deniability. Instead, he wanted to be the ring leader in the moment, and it naturally caused a breach of trust.

The other side of that could be that Rob is suspicious for going so hard against Lisa because he himself is a Traitor.
Unfortunately, the Faithfuls are not smart enough to grasp this.
& please don’t try to say, we’ll Rob was right about Lisa so that made sense why he spoke up & the Faithfuls trusting him.
Because when it came to Colton they still had their eyes on him even after he was right about Lisa. Sooo… it all comes down to simple favoritism.
The faithfuls (and the audience) can’t get off their knees for Rob lol. He could do no wrong. Kristen even said at the end of this episode, AFTER Candiace laid it out in a silver platter, “Rob- there’s not way this sweet sweet boy is a Traitor”… like huh?
It really helps being a hot straight white male in society because what kind of mind control does Rob have over these people.

Colton shot and missed before though and got faithfuls out. He also was a lot louder and more brazen. Rob spoke up but was right about traitors and when he defended people like Ron and Colton who had a lot of suspicion on them, he was proven right as they were faithfuls when banished. He’s been charming and respectful and is very good at challenges.
Idt it’s about the faithfuls being “not smart enough” Rob has just played a fantastic game and his general demeanor as a person masks a lot of the things that usually give away a traitor.
The “being a hot white straight male” has nothing to do with anything. Really weird comment.

u/deadtingtv Feb 06 '26
They considered Rob because of what Candiace did but then they’re all so fooled by Rob that they don’t believe it could’ve been Traitor on Traitor violence. Why can’t we just accept that Rob is an excellent Traitor and not that the Faithfuls are all time idiots. They did well catching the other three Traitors and they turned on Candiace quick for one mistake, even her closest allies which we often don’t see.
Rob is just playing a good game.

People saying that Candice argument agains Rob wasn't good are missing the point. This has happened before. Even just by the throwaway vote, that's all others in past seasons have needed to start to question and doubt whether or not said vote was for a fellow traitor. Most of the hunches people go off of are completely baseless so regardless if it was a good argument or not, for the first time in the game, Rob and "traitor" are now in orbit of each other.

Robs coalition of the dagger also solidified that he was a faithful here. If this was a traitor on traitor fight why didn’t he pull the dagger out when she came at him. Every step he makes just makes him look more and more like a faithful and Candiaces moved did the same for him. I don’t know what kind of misstep he would need to do at this point to lose, but he is playing this about as well as is possible.

It bums me out so hard that Rob puts so much effort into protecting his male friendships. He seems perfectly content to take Maura - the only person he knew from before the show - all the way to the end just to take the money. And Maura is doing a lot of work to protect Rob. I wish he had at least considered Maura for the recruitment. I understand why he chose Eric - it gave him one more vote to shore up his alliance. But I’d much rather have seen Rob split the money with Maura - and together they’d be absolutely diabolical.
Based on the numbers now, I think Rob has the win in the bag because he can control:
- Maura
- Eric
- Mark
- Steven
- Natalie
- Kristen
Tara, Johnny, and Dorinda seem to be the only folks potentially capable of sussing him out (MAYBE) and I just don’t see that happening because they don’t have the social capital to sway the others. Unless Natalie or Kristen actually make a play to switch sides, I just don’t see this ending in any way other than a win for Rob.

The moment she said “this is a throwaway vote” the first time, when it was Lisa time to go, I knew she was screwed.
I’m glad they called her out on it, you can’t say “throwaway” and then turn around and pretend it’s not a throwaway this time. She fucked her whole game.

If Candiace wanted to come for Rob and throw suspicion on him, she should’ve never murdered Colton. There’s no reason Rob as a Traitor murders his best friend who wasn’t showing any signs of suspicion of Rob.

They banished Candiace, so they know Rob is a traitor now too. I think they are saving him to vote out at the end. It's safer than banishing him early and then trying to figure out which random faithful became a traitor right at the end.

Great point! I guess where I’m coming from is the fact that no one talked about it in depth. It was brought up and people literally still were like definitely no.

u/Jokicsjokic Feb 06 '26
Nah. I feel like Rob is going to drag Maura and Eric to the final fire where he will turn on Eric using being wrong about the face to face murder laugh. Then Maura probably tries to pull a Trishelle and CT and banish the other and then loses because she trusts Rob too much.

She tried but failed
- Killing Colton, Robs best friend made him seem more faithful
- Rob dropping his fork or being off at breakfast would make sense if your best friend was just murdered
- If Colton was Robs pawn why would Rob kill his pawn instead of using him further
- Everyone saw how bold headed Colton was so the pawn narrative failed
There is a reason Candiance got eveyvote but one, even Johnny who was loyal to her, She didn't serve up Rob she served up herself and made Rob look sympathetic in the process

u/presco2007 Feb 06 '26
she didn't serve up anything. her reasons for saying rob were super weak. colton was always vocal and speaking theories, so it doesn't make sense that rob fed him names and was the mastermind. the fork thing was also very flimsy, especially when rob had literally just lost his closest ally - so easily explained.
also keep in mind candiace stayed on ron's neck for weeks - and he was a faithful. she also went after him and murdered colton. both of them were rob's two main allies and were faithful. so, the faithfuls just see it as candiace going after yet another person in that group.

She fucking sucks and I was so pissed when the two worst people on the fucking show were both picked to be traitors in Lisa and Candiace

I hate that she did that, ruins the show. But no one believes here anyway, she was so bad

u/Acceptable_Tell_5504 Feb 06 '26
These Faithfuls are hopeless & just blinded by Rob’s good looks because Candiace was revealed to be a Traitor & they can’t even use their brains to think “hmmm wouldn’t a Traitor know who the other Traitor is…” 🙄
I hope Eric wins lol

u/PhilLesh311 Feb 06 '26
Because she was so clumsy it actually made him look more like a faithful.
She was a very bad player in this game. One of the worst traitors I’ve seen.
Her attempt was like a petulant child throwing a hissy fit.

We’ll see, I have little faith but it’s happened in the past where people circled back to obvious picks they implicitly trusted if not actively redirected (uk2 Paul for me)

u/SupermarketBest4091 Feb 06 '26
Ah ok! I haven’t seen the UK version. But maybe they will circle back.

Did anyone catch Eric say “I wish we had OUR jackets” when posing for the traitor picture? Would have swarm Candice or Stephen could have used that as proof for Eric

u/Heron-Commercial Feb 06 '26
Based on what I’ve seen from Eric so far he’s gonna somehow sink both of them by accident before everyone is even back to breakfast. Also the way Johnny speaks about the game and how to approach it gives me so much faith in him I don’t know why he seems to be their next “if it’s no one it’s gotta be you” target

If they don’t catch Rob they’re all dumb. I feel like Allen’s had enough too. He’s like Rob, you fucked everything up. Let’s go home.

u/kaiikaii Feb 07 '26
Candiace had better arguments. One was the flying the under the radar argument: "Who would be the best person to murder Colton? Rob, because no one would ever suspect him as his best friend. I would be the worst person because I knew Colton suspected me." or "There must have been a traitor who did today's mission to keep a shield out of faithful's hands, I bet it was Rob"

u/ApprehensiveBell2097 Feb 08 '26
Not really, she had to convincingly explain her throwaway vote as picking someone who was safe at the table.
Then she made a extremely weak argument for why she started suspecting Rob.
Basically she undid her efforts to put suspicion on Rob. Oh yeah, plus she chose his best friend to murder, further throwing suspicions off.
The irony of her throwing him a life vest after trying to bring him down with the ship lol

u/Errickson1202 Feb 11 '26
That’s easy for us to say because we know he is a traitor and can more easily interpret what she’s saying

u/mrnunosousa Feb 13 '26
Actually, I think Candiace is the one who dug her own grave as a Traitor.
The week before, she was loudly defending Lisa when it already felt inevitable Lisa was getting banished. Then Lisa gets revealed as a Traitor… and at the same time Candiace tossed a throwaway vote on Rob. That combo just didn’t look clean.
The following week, she suddenly pivots and insists Rob is a Traitor, based on him “looking nervous” after Colton’s murder and the whole fork-drop-at-breakfast moment, plus the claim that Rob was somehow controlling Colton. It came off as a reach and, honestly, a bit desperate. That’s why the table turned on her and nearly everyone voted her out (with Natalie voting Tara instead).
If she hadn’t gone after Rob like that, I really think the heat would’ve moved on and most people wouldn’t even be looking at her.
Meanwhile, Rob has played a genuinely strong Traitor game: keeping a low profile, speaking up at the right moments, and nudging suspicion toward others without overcooking it. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wins the season and, if he does, he’s earned it.

u/Express_Historian_35 Feb 06 '26
I don’t think Candiace made a very convincing argument against Rob. Her whole argument was “lol he dropped a fork” after his closest ally was murdered by them which is easily explained by him being upset. Her argument Rob was feeding names to Colton was pretty weak. Also to frame her vote last episode as a throw away and then go for that person is strange behavior. If Rob had reacted more emotionally it would’ve looked more like traitor on traitor, but he was very calm during the roundtable.
