(Warning: This post contains spoilers for The Traitors Season 2, Episode 8.)
Anyone who’s watched even five seconds of The Traitors knows that our host Alan Cumming’s Scottish castle is not exactly a relaxing retreat. Even by the Peacock reality show’s usual standards, however, this week’s challenge was a doozy. After gathering at a cabin in the woods, the players were forced to tunnel their way out, braving all manner of roaches, maggots, and worms in the process. It was like the world’s most disgusting game of “Would You Rather”—would you rather crawl around in dirt tunnels searching for gold while it rains bugs, or would it be better to stay above ground and man the lights while getting doused with just as many bugs and also urine?
Here’s the good news: The Faithfuls finally caught their second Traitor! After successfully banishing Big Brother winner and Traitors saboteur Dan Gheesling two weeks ago, they’ve now unmasked his partner in crime, Survivor legend Parvati Shallow. That said, one foolish Faithful might’ve made a critical error along the way, imperiling several of her friends.
