The fourth season of US Traitors had its usual celeb cast. I believe they may actually do a 'normal' persons one soon. Yay. Let's now look briefly at the latest edition. (Spoiler alert)
It was won by Rob, who was a good traitor with a dead pan face even in adversity. He wisely got rid of two female traitors early without raising suspicion. Then recruiting Eric, the two worked well together, covering each other's backs.The Faithfuls unravelled as they failed to foster any unity. A bad mistake was made by Tara, when taking out Natalie after they promised to vote together. This act swung the odds towards the traitors.
Tara and close friend Johny worked out correctly who the two traitors were and needed to get Maura on side to get a 3 to 2 vote and banish them, one by one. Maura agreed, but then flipped and voted with the traitors to banish Johnny. Game over Faithfuls.
Tara still wanted to work with ditsy Maura. Fat chance as she turned on Tara at the next vote. Maura then told Rob she wanted Eric out and Rob saw his chance to take all the money. In an unnecessary act of greed, turncoat Rob rounded on Eric and with Maura's vote guaranteed, got rid of his Traitor partner.
Maura was convinced she would share the prize. In the most satisfying moment in Season 4, Maura was floored to find she had allowed herself to be played by Rob. Maura often said she wondered how she got that far. Simple. She was useless as a faithful but most valuable to the traitors.
I want to see the Faithful win but when they are unable to work together cohesively, their winning would be unfair. Rob played a better game than the Faithfuls and deserved to win. That said, the way he cut out Eric was a cheap shot.
