The Traitors Recap Episode 6: Sam firmly cements himself as the ultimate villain

Honestly, he's TV gold

It’s episode six of The Traitors Australia 2023 and Traitors Sam and Blake are still coming for each other with guns blazing.

Blake arrives at the breakfast still frustrated as he believes Sam conspired against him with some of the Faithfuls in episode five.

Meanwhile, Camille admits to the camera that she’s a former federal agent, not a stay-at-home mum like her co-stars believe. She says that she’s been reading some of the contestant’s body language and believes that if Sam enters the room and Luke doesn’t, then Sam is a Traitor.

That exact scenario happens, and the contestants grow weary of Sam. However, he confidently tells the camera that he will conjure up a big story and throw the target off his own back.

The Challenge

The contestants are given the opportunity to win $10,000, plus $28,000 that they’ve missed out on in missions, bringing the potential amount to win on the mission to $48,000. To win, the contestants simply have to take one bar at a time to the top of a hill.

Of course, the track is steep and long, and the contestants are also given heavy 20kg backpacks to carry. Sam, Camille, Keith and Liam excel at the challenge, while Blake, Hannah and Sarah struggle.

Sam’s in the lead and anonymously switches his silver bar for a key to the armoury, where the Immunity Shield can be won. Keith takes the same deal.

On his second mission up the hill, Sam bizarrely accepts a protein shake in exchange for his $2000 bar, and on the third, he swaps a bar for champagne that he doesn’t even drink – firmly cementing himself as the villain.

By the time that the clock ran out, $34,000 in silver bars had been taken to the top of the hill. However, $16,000 of those had been exchanged for rewards, leaving the team with winnings of just $18,000.

At the armoury Sam won the shield, meaning he couldn’t be ‘murdered’ at the upcoming ceremony.

Who was banished?

Although the group was planning on targeting Sam after Luke’s ‘murder’ the previous night, as always, he managed to talk himself out of it.

He threw attention towards Simone, and many of his co-stars ate up his words and voted for her, and she was ultimately eliminated.
