Throwing them into the fire! Season 4 of The Traitors came to an end on Thursday night. A winner was crowned, but the win didn’t come without hurt feelings.
Hosted by Alan Cumming, the Peacock series features a group of contestants divided into two factions: the Faithfuls and the Traitors. If the Faithfuls find all the Traitors before the end of the game, they split the prize pot of up to $250,000. However, if there are any Traitors left undiscovered by the finale, they take home all of the money.
The 23 contestant this season included Rob Rausch (Love Island USA), Donna Kelce, Porsha Williams (The Real Housewives of Atlanta), Caroline Stanbury (The Real Housewives of Dubai), Candiace Dillard Bassett (The Real Housewives of Potomac), Lisa Rinna (The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills), Dorinda Medley (The Real Housewives of New York), Ian Terry (Big Brother), Tiffany Mitchell (Big Brother), Rob Cesternino (Survivor), Natalie Anderson (Survivor), and Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho (Survivor), Maura Higgins (Love Island USA), Colton Underwood (The Bachelor), Kristen Kish (Top Chef), Eric Nam, Mark Ballas (Dancing With the Stars), Monét X Change (RuPaul’s Drag Race), Stephen Colletti (Laguna Beach), Michael Rapaport, Johnny Weir, Ron Funches, and Tara Lipinski.

Who won Season 4?
After Ballas and Weir were eliminated, only four contestants remained — Rausch, Lipinski, Nam, and Higgins. The final prize pot stood at $220,800 after their last challenge took the competitors up in a helicopter. They had to correctly answer questions about past contestants in order to put more money into the final pot.
The final four met at the bonfire, and the winner was determined. During the first round, all of the contestants threw their red stones into the fire, meaning they wanted to continue the game and banish a Traitor. While Lipinski had her sights on Nam, the other three all voted her out.
In the second round, Nam threw his green stone into the fire, wanting to end the game. However, Rausch and Higgins threw in red stones. Nam was shocked since both he and Rausch were Traitors and planned to make it to the end together. The other two shocked Nam by eliminating him.
Higgins revealed that she was a Faithful. Rausch painfully revealed that he was a Traitor. Higgins didn’t believe him, but when he looked truly sad, she called him an “a**hole” and a “f**king snake.” Higgins said she was “embarrassed,” and they made a pinky promise.
At the end of the show, Alan Cumming called Rausch “one of the best Traitors so far.” Rausch took home the entire jackpot since he was a Traitor. He shared that he wanted to use the money for his future family and to build a farm.
