The Traitors Season 4 keeps messing with expectations early, and Episode 3 is a perfect example. After Episode 2 finally delivers the first banishment, Episode 3 changes the rhythm again by moving the roundtable earlier than usual. Instead of letting the daily mission shape the mood, the castle walks into a vote first, with everyone running on paranoia, gut reads, and half-finished conversations. That timing matters. When players have less “mission time” to smooth things over, the quietest person in the room can start looking suspicious fast.
Who was Banished in Episode 3 of The Traitors Season 4?
Donna Kelce was banished in The Traitors Season 4 Episode 3.
Here’s how the votes landed:
- Donna: 18 votes
- Yam Yam: 1 vote
- Michael: 1 vote
Why Was Donna Banished?
The biggest reason was how she played socially. Contestants felt like Donna stayed too quiet and rarely talked strategy with anyone. In The Traitors, silence can read like confidence, and confidence can read like hiding something. When people compared notes, they realized they did not have much to go on with her. That lack of information turned into suspicion, and once the table leaned her direction, the votes stacked quickly.
Donna’s Secret Traitor Reveal
The banishment also comes with a major twist: Donna is revealed to be the Secret Traitor.
That’s what makes Episode 3 such a standout. The castle does not just banish someone. They accidentally pull out a hidden piece from the board. It’s a big momentum swing because the Faithful actually remove a threat, even if they did it for reasons that felt more “vibe-based” than evidence-based.
Who Will Be Banished Next?
Episode 3’s early roundtable and Secret Traitor reveal should crank the tension way up heading into Episode 4. Now everyone has to second-guess their reads, and the Traitors have to recalibrate without that extra wildcard in play.
