The Traitors Season 4 doesn’t follow the usual rhythm right away. Episode 1 ends without a banishment, which gives everyone an extra night to mingle, form early alliances, and quietly start building cases against each other. That also means the first real roundtable carries more weight, because players walk in with a full episode of side conversations, half-formed theories, and a lot of shaky assumptions. By Episode 2, the castle has enough “evidence” to decide who feels the most off. And once a name starts trending at the table, it’s hard to stop the pile-on.
Who was Banished in Episode 2 of The Traitors Season 4?

Porsha Williams was banished in The Traitors Season 4 Episode 2.
Porsha drew heat because too many of her conversations didn’t line up. Players compared notes and felt like she kept slipping up, mixing details, or backtracking when questioned. Even when she tried to clarify herself, other contestants challenged those explanations, which only made the suspicion stick harder.
In a game like The Traitors, it doesn’t take a single huge mistake to sink you. A bunch of small “wait, that’s not what you said earlier” moments can be enough. That’s exactly what happened here. Once the room decided Porsha’s stories felt messy, the votes stacked up fast.

Who Will be Banished Next?
With the first banishment finally on the board, the pace of the season should ramp up quickly. Now the bigger question is whether the Faithful actually got it right, or if they just handed the Traitors an easy early win.
