It’s episode one of The Traitors Australia and Rodger Corser is back with a deliciously dangerous game of lies, deception and betrayal.

Twenty players, including an exciting mix of everyday Aussies and some very famous faces, descended on the Grand Old Hotel to win up to a quarter of a million dollars in silver bars.

Once everyone was acquainted, the cast was summoned into the Banishment Room, where three players were secretly picked to be the Traitors. They were Blake, Ash and Sam.

And even though he wasn’t chosen, Australian Survivor alum Luke Toki was ready to sniff them out — and as we all know, not much can get passed him!

The Challenge

During the first challenge, the Traitors and the Faithful worked together to begin building their prize pool having to send a Flaming Phar Lap down into a gate and set it alight.

Split into two teams, they were also playing for a “life-saving” prize that protected them from murder.

Simone succeeded in the challenge and was safe and $40,000 worth of silver bars was added to the prize pot.

Who was murdered and who was banished?

The three Traitors met in the Traitors Tower, excited over their first meeting, before Anjelica was the first player to be murdered.

Then, during the first Banishment Ceremony of the season, Sarah and Ash became the two main suspects; however, Annabel through anything off by saying they were focusing on the wrong type of suspect, accusing Corinne.

With the deciding vote, Gyton also chose Corinne, who was the first to be Banished. Of course, she was a Faithful.
