SPOILER: Here's Who Got Banished on The Traitors Season 4, Episode 6
Three names were on the Banishment chopping block.
SPOILER WARNING: This story reveals major plot points from Episodes 1-6 of The Traitors Season 4.
Six episodes into Season 4 of The Traitors, and the Faithfuls in the game have only been able to send one of four Traitors home so far. With the incorrect Banishments and Traitor Murders adding up, the pressure is growing for the three Traitors left in the game to remain hidden.

Of the remaining Faithfuls, Colton Underwood has taken it upon himself to continue to be aggressive about smoking out a Traitor even when he gets it wrong (like Tiffany Mitchell and Michael Rapaport). But taking big swings and making big mistakes means that Colton was also on the Banishment block for being unapologetically zealous about committing to a Traitor suspect and collecting votes to send them home.
Going into the Elimination Roundtable in Episode 6, "Planning a Coup," three names were being bandied about as the main targets for suspicion, and Colton was both in the firing line and a player dictating who should be the primary target. Here's what happened.
Who was banished on The Traitors Season 4, Episode 6?
After a very close vote, comedian Ron Funches was sent home at the end of The Traitors Season 4, Episode 6.

Initially, the vote seemed set in stone against Ron because of his quiet gameplay and the machinations of Traitors Candiace Dillard Bassett and Lisa Rinna to keep Ron in the mouths of the Faithful voters. But for the first time, the third Traitor Rob Rausch was not seeing the benefit to his game in banishing his ally Ron — and he could see the heat from Colton coming at Lisa, which would jeopardize Colton's trust in him.
However, the biggest savior of Ron at the table ended up being Ron himself. Pragmatic about not being able to turn hearts and minds distrustful of him and his mistakes, Ron implied he would prove his Faithful status by falling on the proverbial sword and just taking the Banishment to prove his trustworthiness in the most extreme way possible. He then proceeded to use the unusually silent table time to personally say goodbye to each of the players he connected with. His heartfelt comments made every Faithful around the table seriously question if Ron could possibly be a Traitor. Many did not believe it was possible and the Banishment vote was suddenly in total limbo.
Smelling a change in the wind, Colton took advantage and brought Lisa's name to the table, pointing attention to her low-key energy and her betrayal vote of fellow Housewives star Porsha Williams as Traitor behavior. The logic swayed some like Natalie and Eric and certainly made Lisa vocally defensive in a way no one in the castle had seen her behave before.
In the end, the Banishment votes went four for Colton, five for Lisa and six for Ron.
Ron Funches said he "always spoke my truth" after his Banishment

As he stood to face the room one last time, Funches said, "This was very hard for me. I don't trust many people and I felt not trusted. I understand this world is completely fake and that probably makes it hard to see someone real. I always spoke my truth no matter what, and that's why again, inside and outside of this game, I am truly Faithful."
Typically, a Murder would follow, but Alan Cumming announced a change in plans with a banquet dinner to celebrate the halfway point of the season. But in truth, the dinner was a means to a murderous end for the Traitors who would have to murder in plain sight in the dining room!
