Warning: The following contains major spoilers for the Season 4 finale of "The Traitors."
Maura Higgins said players have to find at least one person to trust on "The Traitors," but like most of the faithful in Season 4, she learned the hard way that placing her trust in the wrong person can be fatal.
The Irish TV personality made it to the final five after "Dancing With The Stars" performer Mark Ballas was the final player to be "murdered" in front of the group.
That left Olympic skating bestiesTara Lipinski and Johnny Weir(Faithfuls) in a tight battle versus singer Eric Nam and snake wrangling hearthrob Rob Rausch (Traitors). All eyes were on Maura Higgins, who started second-guessing whether her closest ally and fellow "Love Island" alum, Rob, could have secretly been playing her all along.
At the final roundtable, Maura had listened to both sides and trusted her gut in making the right decision. But was it the right decision?
Did the Traitors or the Faithful win?
After Johnny Weir was voted out in a 3-2 vote and later Tara in a 3-1 vote, the remaining traitors, Rob and Eric, had successfully allowed the traitors to triumph.
Yet, the game wasn't finished as two players decided to banish again.
Who won 'The Traitors' Season 4?
"Love Island" starRob Rauschwas the sole winner of "The Traitors" Season 4.
He is the first traitor to win the U.S. game since Cirie Fields' victory in Season 1, as the two most recent seasons saw multiple faithfuls win.
With only three players remaining, Maura and Rob voted to banish Eric, leaving Rob with the total prize pot of over $200,000 as the last remaining traitor to make it to the end.
