Three seasons into The Traitors, the show had already built a reputation for turning C-list reality TV into must-watch television, but Season 4 raised the stakes further than any prior year. Rather than leaning on a handful of recognizable faces surrounded by relative unknowns, Peacock and host Alan Cumming assembled a 23-person cast stacked with some of the highest-profile names the franchise had ever landed: Real Housewives royalty, a Bachelor lead turned LGBTQ+ icon, Olympic figure skating legends, a K-pop star, a three-time Dancing with the Stars champion, and the mother of two NFL stars.

How It Ended
Season 4 delivered a finale twist unlike anything the American franchise had done since Season 1: Rob Rausch won as a Traitor, taking the full prize pot after cutting fellow Traitor Eric Nam loose in the final stretch. Maura Higgins finished as runner-up, having stayed loyal to Rausch as a Faithful the entire game and never once suspecting him. Rob Rausch took home the full $220,800 prize pot on his own.
