"We were all so happy then, we couldn't even imagine how terrible things would soon become. That joy and camaraderie is gone, replaced by infighting and treachery. Now you could cut the tension in the room with the knife in Lisa Rinna's back. As Candiace and Rob reunite for the first time since that betrayal, he tries to explain himself, and she in turn has to defend writing down his name as a "throwaway" vote."
"Since Rob was the one really pushing to not recruit, he lets Candiace lead the charge on who to kill. How chivalrous! Or is it strategic? She's choosing between Stephen, Natalie, and Colton - the latter of whom Rob is of course most against killing because that's who he's closest to. But that's the very reason Candiace decides to kill him."
"At first it's shocking that Rob would let this happen with such little pushback, but then he reveals his master plan: He's deliberately not telling Candiace that Colton had been spreading her name around, so now his death will point right back to her. He's handing her a gun that's really a grenade. I hate where this is going, but admittedly it's phenomenal gameplay."
Initial camaraderie collapses into infighting after Lisa Rinna's betrayal, and tension pervades the group. Candiace and Rob reunite amid accusations and mutual distrust, each defending tactical moves. Rob opposes recruiting new Traitors and lets Candiace choose a target; she selects Colton despite his closeness to Rob. Rob withholds that Colton had spread Candiace's name, ensuring Colton's death will implicate her. The kill shifts suspicion and deepens the rift, highlighting ruthless strategic play. The castle grapples with potential collaborators as Colton's death is revealed, and Johnny and Tara begin a conversation.
