How The Traitors Face to Face Murder Led to a Chaotic Roundtable Banishment (SPOILERS)
A dramatic switch in alignments happened around this Roundtable because of two players.
SPOILER WARNING: This story reveals major plot points from Episodes 1-5 of The Traitors Season 4.
Woe to those who enter a Roundtable debate with too much certainty!
In "Cut the Head off the Snake," Episode 4 of Peacock's The Traitors (now streaming on Peacock), the repercussions of the Traitors' cold-blooded, face to face "Murder" of Caroline Stanbury (The Real Housewives of Dubai) continued to be felt until the players went to bed.
While the Faithful started strong at breakfast by grilling Ron Funches, Kristen Kish, Eric Nam, and Lisa Rinna about what they heard and felt as they were strapped to trees under the cover of dark, overall lessons were not learned. While Monét X Change did his best to find any clues or inconsistencies in their stories, the presumptions and biases brought into the room prevailed.
In fact as the day unfolded, it became a whisper war led by the strong assertions laid out by Tiffany Mitchell (Big Brother) who was leaning towards Ron, Michael Rapaport, and Yam-Yam as the Traitors. While Colton Underwood (The Bachelor, The Bachelorette) was gunning to make a big move, and he was laser-focused on bringing Tiffany down at the Roundtable.

In the end, it all came down to a laugh in the wind. Find out below the chaos that ensued from what a non-murdered player thought he heard in the woods.
Who brought up their new Traitor theory at the Roundtable?
After a successful challenge completed, the prevailing winds for potential Banishment at the Roundtable where wafting towards Ron, Tiffany, and Michael. And that's how it played out as Colton came out hot, firing his suspicious at Tiffany to her face which she defended against with equal heat. Then, Maura went after Ron, who countered that she could be a Traitor because he heard "light steps" while blind-folded and at risk of a face to face murder.
Eric Nam took the opportunity to pipe up and lay out his personal suspicions publicly for the first time. When Eric was being considered for the in-person murder the night before, he said he heard a faint laugh that he pinned to — Tiffany!
Citing his finely tuned hearing honed from years as a recording artist and singer, Eric asserted that he was almost certain his ears were to be trusted — and because of that, Tiffany also had his vote.
Due to Eric's persuasive argument, his expertise, and his relative quiet to this point in the game, the table turned towards Tiffany. While Tiffany tried to defend herself, saying the Faithfuls "were doing the Traitors' work for them" and Traitor Candiace Dillard-Bassett (The Real Housewives of Potomac) also put up a strong defense on her behalf, the vote was swayed.
Who was Banished during Episode 4's Roundtable?
Based on the double accusations of Colton and Eric, the room turned against Tiffany Mitchell. She received the majority of the Roundtable votes and was Banished from the game.

However, Tiffany was defiant to the end. As host Alan Cumming asked her to reveal her true status, Tiffany said, "I told myself when I came into the game, be careful with how I am," knowing her strong opinions and countenance could be easily misunderstood by her fellow Faithful.
She was perceived incorrectly to which she said: "You proved that you get what you deserve, and you didn't deserve me. I'm a Faithful."
An epic misread by both Colton and Eric and everyone who turned their votes on Tiffany as well.
