Lisa Rinna was uncovered on The Traitors after her fellow co-stars voted her out of the game, confirming she was a traitor.
After having heat on her for a couple of episodes as The Bachelor’s Colton Underwood painted a target on her, Rinna was eliminated from the show, but didn’t put up a big fight to stay in the game. Rinna’s reluctance to defend herself at the roundtable was uncharacteristic, as viewers know she can put up a fight, as seen on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
“I didn’t care. I wanted to go home. I could care less at that point,” Rinna said in an interview with EW.
Rinna’s last act as a traitor was to murder a faithful in plain sight. For this task, Rinna needed to have someone touch her brooch and decided on Yam Yam to be murdered. When host Alan Cumming informed the participants that he had been murdered, he started yelling that Rinna had kissed him on the cheek, wrongfully believing that the kiss was what decided his fate.

“I’m going home, what am I supposed to say? Why did Yam Yam say your name? How would you answer that? I don’t know. ‘He got it wrong. It’s not the kiss. It was the amulet,’” Rinna said. “Can’t say that at the roundtable, then they would know I’m a Traitor. It’s really interesting how people go, ‘I would’ve done this in that moment and this is what you should have done.’ Are you kidding me? Good luck. I loved everything I did.”
She continued, “Some people like Candiace are really good at it. I know that I needed to be quiet because if I was too loud at that roundtable, I would’ve gone much sooner. I went with my gut, played it the way I did, and I knew it was over. I wasn’t going to really defend and fight for myself too much because I did as much as I think you could. I’m no dumb dumb. I know that my time is up.”
With the Season 4 reunion in plain sight, Rinna also teased what she expects to do when she reunites with her co-stars.
“I’m just going to have fun. I see myself at the reunion just sitting there, eating popcorn. I’m just going to giggle and have a good time,” she said. “I don’t really have a beef with anyone and whoever has a beef with me, whatever, who cares? Fine. I’m a Traitor. I’m traitorous. I did my job really well. I have no alliances to anyone. I’m not a Housewife anymore, so no alliance to anyone. I’m a Traitor, baby. I actually suck as a Traitor, but I am the most iconic.”
