We need to take out their king.

[echoing] I think we need to murder Colton.

- "Colton.

By the order of the Traitors, you have been murdered."

Damn.

will draw a direct line to her.

The last thing Colton said to me last night was, Candiace.

- I want you to know you are a snake.

- So you don't trust me.

- If I get banished tonight, your name is going to come up.

- Peril is seated right here at this very table.

- Colton was being used

as Rob's "beard."

I feel like I've played this game with love, respect,

and with treachery,

because I am a Traitor.

[cheers and applause]

- Thank God!

- With those two votes coming from Candiace,

this is the most vulnerable I have been in the game yet.

But I'm the last Traitor in the game

and I have the dagger, which means I can have two votes.

- I hate saying this.

- It's so not Johnny.

- You must recruit one more player to join you.

- I started the game as a Faithful,

and I will die as Faithful.

Or could I do this?
