Summary

It’s time for the final Round Table, but Will and Rider aren’t ready to leave the castle as they recap the penultimate episode of The Traitors Season 4. 

Mark Ballas may be a ballroom legend, but our hosts have some hard truths about how he’s played the game.

Will reveals why Rob is still the “smart” Traitor, but Rider is shocked that Maura hasn’t caught onto his strategy. But he still has hope she can pull ahead and win the entire show. 

Plus, we hear Will and Rider’s expert opinions on who should be the final killings AND what reality show is next for the podcast - all this week’s Pod Meets Twirl’d: Traiting Places!
