The highly anticipated second season of The Traitors US has officially begun, and it's already shaping up to be even more dramatic than the first. *WARNING: Spoilers for The Traitors US below*
One of the biggest bombshells of the season was the departure of boxer Deontay Wilder, who couldn't handle the intense competition. Fans were shocked to see the 38-year-old leave the show, especially after he was announced as a contestant alongside big names like former politician John Bercow and Love Island star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.
However, it wasn't just the competition that took its toll on Deontay. In an emotional roundtable discussion, he revealed his suspicions of Maks Chmerkovskiy, a Dancing With The Stars pro who was eventually voted out and confirmed as a Faithful. Deontay was devastated by Maks' early exit and found comfort in fellow contestant Phaedra Parks, who was actually a Traitor in disguise.
But it wasn't just the pressure of the game that led to Deontay's departure. In the season's first episode, host Alan Cumming announced that Deontay had made the decision to leave the castle after things became too overwhelming for him.
Before his exit, Deontay had a heated confrontation with Maks at the roundtable, which ultimately led to the pro dancer's downfall. Deontay accused Maks of being a traitor, claiming that his behavior and actions were suspicious and manipulative. Despite Maks' protests of innocence, he received the most votes and was banished from the game.
However, not everyone agreed with Deontay's accusations. Real Housewives of Miami's Larsa Pippen urged her fellow castmates to dig deeper and not jump to conclusions. Mercedes 'MJ' Javid from Shahs of Sunset also defended Deontay and Sandra, praising their strong and influential characters.
But the drama didn't end there. Other players blamed Deontay for changing their minds and influencing their decisions, causing tension and conflict within the group. It all became too much for Deontay, who broke down in tears and admitted that he couldn't handle the stress and pressure of the game.
With Deontay's departure and Parvati choosing Ekin-Su to drink from her poisoned chalice, the Faithful may have a chance to turn the tables and expose one of the Traitors. Will they succeed, or will the Traitors continue to outsmart and deceive their opponents?
