#### Notes

* ↑ No murder took place; having become the Seer, Britney selected Gabby to meet with her and reveal her identity.
* ↑ After the Round Table in Episode 3, the Traitors were tasked to shortlist three players of their choice to go inside a coffin where the Traitors would nail one of them shut, sealing their fate as that round’s murder. The Traitors decided to murder Jeremy.
* ↑ Following Carolyn's banishment, Danielle was offered the chance to meet a Faithful face-to-face and offer them an ultimatum: become a Traitor or be Murdered. She chose Britney, who accepted the offer.
* ↑ Danielle's banishment was revealed in Episode 11 after the tied vote ended on a cliffhanger in Episode 10.
* ↑ At the beginning of the game, Alan offered the players a chance for Rob to enter the game by shaking his hand. If someone were to accept this offer, they would have to exile another player of their choice. Nobody took the offer, and thus Rob was exiled.
* ↑ Derrick and Wes, along with the returning Rob, were introduced to the game in Episode 2. Upon their introduction, they could not be voted for or murdered that night. They were also not allowed to vote at the Round Table that night.
