The Traitors US S4 E6 Recap: “Planning a Coup” | Colton vs Lisa Rinna, Rob’s Big Mistake & Tarot Predicts the Murder

Published on: 23rd January, 2026

Happy Friday, Channel Surfers! 🍿 We’re back with a full breakdown of The Traitors US Season 4, Episode 6 (“Planning a Coup”)—and this episode had everything: Colton’s reckless gameplay, the faithfuls finally trying to organize a coup, Lisa Rinna under fire, and Rob making an emotional move that could blow up the entire game.

We unpack:

  1. Why Colton’s “name-throwing” strategy keeps backfiring
  2. The housewives logic that doesn’t actually make sense
  3. Ron’s underrated, evidence-based gameplay
  4. The nightmare mission (Ouija vibes, graveyard hands, maggots 🤢)
  5. The round table shift that almost changed everything

And at the end, we pull tarot (Eight of Swords) to predict whether Lisa can successfully take out Colton—or if the move gets blocked.

👉 Do YOU think Lisa should go for Colton at the banquet?

And if she does… what’s the smartest way to get him to touch the pendant?

If you love reality TV recaps with humor, strategy, and a little mysticism, you’re in the right place.
