It’s time for the Black Banquet and the Daniettes have saved you a seat (and some smoked salmon.)

Lisa Rinna stuns with an outfit that seemed inspired by the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and Yam Yam’s desperate cry may have sealed her fate.

Plus, everyone’s after the dagger as reality sets in that Rob is “the human lie detector.” Could he possibly be the best Traitors player of all time??

And what would happen in a Traitors season pitting Boy Meets World vs. Full House?? 

Faithfuls and Traitors, it’s time for another recap on Pod Meets Twirl’d: Traiting Places!

Faithfuls and Traitors, it&rsquo;s time for another recap on Pod Meets Twirl&rsquo;d: Traiting&nbsp;Places!

Pod Meets World's Will Friedle & Rider Strong were sitcom stars 30 years ago. The concept of reality TV is honestly pretty foreign to them. But when their best friend Danielle Fishel competed on Dancing with the Stars in 2025, the boys committed to watching their first TV dance competition, and quickly became addicted. And undeniable experts. That is, if you ask them.

 

With their podcast, Pod Meets Twirl'd, they decided to share their newfound discovery, and self proclaimed expertise, of unscripted TV and now they'll continue their journey through the genre. The newly formed cultural thought leaders are ready to start recapping, reviewing and rehashing all the hottest reality shows! Even if they've never never seen it before.

 

First up, the show Rider has never heard of and Will THINKS he can win - Traitors!

*maniacal laugh* It’s time again for Will and Rider to venture into the castle and recap another episode of The Traitors Season 4. 

Between her liberal use of the f-bomb and a penchant for indoor sunglasses, our hosts aren’t impressed with Lisa Rinna, but would they have sniffed out her mission if the clues weren’t so obvious?

Rider gets flashbacks to Cabin Fever thanks to a challenge, but the real fear lies in Alan Cumming having to explains these confusing rules.

Plus…are we headed toward a salmon-specific storyline?? The competition (and the fish) gets smoked on a new Pod Meets Twirl’d!

They mourn the loss of the “secret traitor” and try to figure out who has to hose down Rapaport after dinner, all on a breakdown of episode 4, for Pod Meets Twirl’d!
