Traitors US S4 Week 6 Exit Interview w/ Banished Player

Welcome to RHAP’s coverage of ALL the Traitors iterations from around the world, including New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. The Traitors US is a high-stakes reality competition set in a secluded castle, where contestants must work together to complete challenges and earn a prize pot—while rooting out the secret traitors hidden among them.

The We Know Traitors podcast welcomes Stephen Colletti, fresh from his recent banishment on The Traitors. Host Pooya sits down with Stephen to dig into the pivotal moments that led to his exit from the castle—including game twists, shifting alliances, and a few frustrating misunderstandings. Stephen sheds light on how one banquet, a roast mix-up, and some questionable gut instincts among the players turned his game upside down.

Stephen breaks down how the infamous tarot card incident becomes his undoing and reflects on missed clues left by Candiace and the tangled alliances with Johnny and Tara. The conversation dives into Stephen’s perspective on Natalie’s influence, unpacking how suspicion shifts and why clear explanations sometimes fall on deaf ears in a high-pressure game. Stephen also opens up about his relationships with allies like Mark and Kristen, the reality of navigating trust and strategy, and how entering the house with and without pre-existing bonds changes everything.

• Stephen reveals frustration over being accused due to misunderstandings around the roast and the tarot cards
• Analysis of Candiace’s strategic vote and how Stephen and Johnny fail to connect the breadcrumbs
• Insights into Natalie’s gut-driven play and how it drives suspicion despite weak evidence
• Discussion of alliance dynamics, especially between Johnny and Tara, and how trust shapes gameplay decisions
• Reflections on the emotional aftermath of reality TV, Stephen’s lessons from Laguna Beach, and his openness to taking on the Traitor role in the future

Did Natalie’s hunch really seal Stephen’s fate, or were there bigger game forces at work in the castle? Explore how shifting alliances and gut instincts can flip the game, and decide for yourself if Stephen’s strategies gave him the best shot.
