The Traitors<\/a><\/p>\n If You\u2019re Gonna Come for Me, I\u2019ll Finish You<\/p>\n \n Season 4<\/p>\n Episode 5\n <\/p>\n \n Editor\u2019s Rating<\/p>\n 4 stars<\/p>\n ****\n <\/p>\n \n Things get so ugly at the roundtable that not even the Traitors feel good about the chaos in the castle. Dorinda is finally starting to get angry, and at Ron Funches no less. As they wait at breakfast to see who was murdered the night before, she complains that he alternates between being a victim and accuser, and that she\u2019s insulted that he\u2019s made no effort to get to know her. But will he even be there to face her wrath? Yep, and since everybody thinks he\u2019s a Traitor, nobody is surprised to see him stroll in. But the real highlight of breakfast was getting to see Dorinda find out for the first time that Colton was in the closet when he was on The Bachelor, and she\u2019s disappointed she missed her window of opportunity with straight Colton.<\/p>\n Ultimately, as we could have guessed from their turret meeting the night before, the Traitors sadly opted to kill Monet after he correctly became suspicious of Lisa. If only he shared that suspicion with anybody other than Lisa\u2019s fellow Traitor, Candiace. As the table toasts to his memory, Colton says he was the best dressed, at which Lisa casually corrects, \u201cOne of the best dressed.\u201d Incredible, no notes.<\/p>\n For this episode\u2019s mission, they have to wade through the fountain for coins that tell them where to find statues, which they then have to bring back to the fountain. Once they\u2019re all in place, they can turn the fountain back on and win money for the prize pot. But there\u2019s a twist, per usual. Amongst the statues are shields, and if nobody takes one, there won\u2019t be a murder that night. But if even one person takes one, the murder goes on as planned. But before they can even consider that dilemma, into the water they go. \u201cWhat if I fall into this water? I could get a yeast infection. Who is going to take care of my coochie?\u201d Candiace says, continuing her reign as poet laureate of the castle.<\/p>\n Though most of the challenge unfolds without anyone snagging a shield, it\u2019s at the end that temptation sets in. What makes matters worse is that the final two teams to grab the statues are presented with four shields, meaning their entire team could easily take one if they so chose and nobody would be the wiser. Ultimately all the statues end up in place, the fountain starts spurting red water like the Kool-Aid Man had been stabbed, and their prize pot grows to $106,000. But we still don\u2019t know if anyone took a shield.<\/p>\n Back at the castle, Ron accidentally interrupts a conversation about him that Dorinda is having with Stephen, who I keep forgetting is on this show. They ask how he\u2019s doing, and Ron tells them that he\u2019s 90 percent confident about two Traitors. \u201cMichael and Dorinda,\u201d he says, right to her face. Something I always find fascinating about this show is how some thrive in the medium, skyrocketing them to broader stardom (Candiace), while others who might have been beloved before entering the castle completely flounder in this setting (Ron). The game doesn\u2019t complement him at all, and he\u2019s coming across horribly. He\u2019s a comedian, yet hasn\u2019t been funny once this entire time, and instead has either been loudly wrong or, as is the case in this episode, rude.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Colton has his sights set on Michael (who looks like a Madame Tussauds figure if they used mucus instead of wax), pointing out that everyone who voted for him that first night has been killed off one by one except for Yam Yam. When Michael (and his various scabs) joins this conversation in the kitchen, Colton casually asks him if Alan does a costume change for the turret, which flusters him just enough for the group to pounce. It was a fun move that leads to Michael exploding and calling Colton a Traitor in return.<\/p>\n The roundtable kicks off with them picking up right where things left off in the kitchen. \u201cConniving, commiserating Colton,\u201d Michael calls him \u2014 clearly not knowing what commiserating means. He uses Colton\u2019s banishment of Tiffany last night to allege that he\u2019s a Traitor, adding, \u201cNobody in this room would be better at holding a secret than you.\u201d Oh my god. We\u2019ve seen Michael\u2019s homophobia online<\/a>, but now it\u2019s made its way into the castle. \u201cThere it is,\u201d Colton replies, \u201cYou think it was fun for 29 years of my life?\u201d The table springs into action to defend him and go after Michael (a wart with eyes), first with Johnny dragging him for using the fact that someone was forced into the closet against them. \u201cVery low blow,\u201d Maura adds. The entire table is disgusted that Michael would be so vile, even as he tries to walk back what he just said, turning back to his \u201cconniving, commiserating line,\u201d which is Rob\u2019s last straw.<\/p>\n
