The Traitors US Season 4 Episode 9 | Jack-in-the-Box Betrayals and the Olympic Eye-Roll

It’s Season 4, Episode 9 of The Traitors US, and "Think Outside the Box" has officially turned the castle into a strategic slaughterhouse. The snark squad is mourning the iconic Dorinda Medley, who was murdered in the turret just as Rob Rausch successfully recruited Eric Nam to the dark side—proving that Rob is playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers. During a high-stakes mission that literally saw players shoved into jack-in-the-boxes, the Traitors worked overtime to manipulate the paranoia, successfully shifting the heat onto Olympians Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski. While the group spent the episode obsessing over the skaters' "unbreakable bond," they managed to completely fumble the banishment by voting out Stephen Colletti, who had to walk the plank as a very innocent (and very frustrated) Faithful. Between Rob’s absolute dominance and the Faithfuls' persistent inability to find a Traitor even when they’re in a box, this episode was a masterclass in how to lose a game with maximum confidence.
