Overview
- Season 4 adds an anonymous fourth Traitor whose identity is hidden from both viewers and the other Traitors.
- The new mechanic requires murders to be chosen from a nightly shortlist set by producers, limiting Traitor autonomy.
- Executive producer Mike Cotton says the shortlist is designed to curb the Traitors’ usual control over eliminations.
- Early episodes have already delivered one banishment and one murder without revealing identities here to avoid spoilers.
- Fans are trading theories online based on handwriting and a glimpse of the note-folding hand, while reaction to the twist is mixed.
