*WARNING: Spoilers for the Traitors US below*

A war has broken out among the Traitors after Phaedra Parks and Parvati Shallow had a tense stand-off.

The pair had been getting on swimmingly in season two of the Peacock game show, murdering Faithfuls with glee alongside Dan Gheesling.

However, things came to a head in the latest episode when the Survivor winner chose to give Love Island’s Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu the fateful poisoned chalice, and secretly banishing her from the game.

She was forced to explain her decision to her fellow Traitors the next morning, with the Real Housewives of Atlanta star instantly panicking that the move could lead back to her.

‘Oh my Lord. Sweet baby Jesus, not Ekin-Su,’ she said, dramatically fanning herself at the breakfast table. ‘That is going to put a target on me like crazy, because I voted for her last night so they’ll think I killed her.’

Parvati attempted to use her fears, and decided to subtly place suspicion firmly on the selection of Housewives in the cast, also putting Tamra Judge, Larsa Pippen and Sheree Whitfield firmly in the firing line.

At a tense roundtable, she suggested that one of the Bravolebrities could be a Traitor, with Phaedra quickly shutting her down.

‘Don’t come for the Housewives, honey, we are not a gang,’ she fumed, as her castmate insisted: ‘It does appear that way, the way you guys gather and walk around the house.’

Having none of it, the RHOA legend added: ‘We are not killing anyone, so don’t do the Housewives thing, honey. Don’t do that, Parvati.’

Unfortunately, the Faithfuls chose the wrong Housewife to banish and sent Larsa home, with tensions between the Traitors ramping up.

In a strained meeting at the Traitor Towers after the roundtable, Phaedra was visibly furious with Parvati’s actions, giving her a stern warning.

‘What she did tonight was unacceptable, and I will not tolerate it at all,’ she told the camera.

‘That wasn’t cool for you to go in there and try and throw me under the bus,’ she added, directing her anger towards Parvati. ‘When you do stuff like that, it brings attention to me.

‘No one likes you, Parvati. Everyone says you’re a Traitor. We can be in this game together but you’re going to play fair. If you don’t, you’re going to have more problems than the Faithfuls.

‘I’m playing very fair with you so don’t do that to me. Both of you.’

With the credits rolling, it wasn’t looking too good for the Traitors – but can they overcome their issues or will things take a treacherous turn?

The Traitors US is available to stream on Peacock on Thursdays.
