The Traitors is the reality show that everyone is talking about. Peacock assembled an all-star cast of 22 reality stars and celebrities for season 2 of the social strategy series hosted by Alan Cumming. At the start of the season, which premiered January 12, The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Phaedra Parks, Big Brother winner Dan Gheesling, and Survivor legend Parvati Shallow were chosen as the Traitors, with the goal of “murdering” the Faithfuls while trying to avoid being banished. Below Deck alum Kate Chastain, who was a Faithful on season 1, joined the cast during the fifth episode.
The Traitors season 2 has been filled with so many epic eliminations already. While some of the contestants got knocked out early, others are in it for the long haul to win the $250,000 grand prize. Here’s who’s been eliminated from The Traitors season 2 so far.

Someone has to go home first — and that ended up being The Challenge star Johnny Bananas. Johnny was murdered by the Traitors at the start of episode 2 because he was considered a massive threat. Johnny told Hollywood Life in an exclusive interview that he couldn’t hide his big personality on the show. “Instead of being quiet and cowering in the corner, I came in like a kamikaze with a bomb strapped to my chest, and I was like, ‘If I go down in flames, which is probably gonna happen, I’m gonna take as many people as I can with me,’ ” he said.
