Will Rob Rausch Win The Traitors Season 4?
The latest episode of The Traitors US flipped the game entirely on its head. After weeks of calculated moves, subtle manipulation, and letting others take the heat, Rob Rausch is now the last original Traitor standing. Even more importantly, he is no longer playing defense. He is playing for the win.
Following last week’s explosive round table, Rob made a ruthless but necessary decision. He allowed his fellow Traitor to be banished, clearing his path forward and placing full control of the game in his hands. With the Faithful convinced they had scored a major victory, Rob quietly stepped into his most powerful position yet.
This week’s episode ends on a pivotal cliffhanger as Rob chooses to recruit Eric Nam. The move could either cement his path to the finale or completely unravel everything he has built.
Has a Traitor Ever Won The Traitors
The stakes feel especially high because Traitor victories are rare, but not impossible.
In Season 1 of the US version of The Traitors, Cirie Fields famously won the game as a Traitor. She eliminated every remaining Faithful and claimed the prize for herself, proving that deception, patience, and social mastery can beat numbers.
That win set the benchmark. Since then, Traitors have often been exposed before reaching the end. Rob’s current position mirrors Cirie’s path in one crucial way. He has allowed others to self destruct while keeping his own hands clean.
If Rob can manage Eric successfully and avoid becoming the obvious next target, he could realistically become only the second Traitor in US history to win.
Colton Finding Out Who The Traitors Are
One of the most talked about moments leading into this episode was Colton Underwood finally zeroing in on the Traitors.
Colton grew increasingly vocal in the days before his elimination, calling out inconsistencies and pushing the group to look closer at specific players. His instincts were correct, but timing is everything in this game. The more he pushed, the more dangerous he became.
His exit ended up accelerating the downfall of another Traitor while unintentionally strengthening Rob’s position. There are fan circulated clips and reaction videos online showing Colton’s realization clicks into place, making his arc one of the more tragic but satisfying storylines of the season.
How Many Episodes in The Traitors Season 4
As of now, The Traitors US Season 4 has aired eight episodes, with more still to come. The recruitment twist suggests the game is entering its final stretch, but the exact number of remaining episodes has not yet been confirmed.
Historically, the endgame includes multiple rounds of suspicion, late betrayals, and at least one major reversal before the final reveal. If Eric accepts Rob’s offer, the dynamic of the castle will shift immediately.
Can Rob Actually Win?
Rob’s game has been quiet, deliberate, and extremely effective. He has avoided emotional decisions, allowed others to draw attention, and timed his moves with precision. Recruiting Eric is a risk, but it is also a power play that signals confidence.
Winning as a Traitor requires more than deception. It requires convincing everyone else they are smarter than you until it is too late.
Right now, Rob Rausch is closer than anyone has been in years. If he pulls this off, his run could go down as one of the most impressive Traitor games the US version has ever seen.
And if history repeats itself, the Faithful may not realize what happened until the final fire.
