One of the most mysterious aspects of The Traitors<\/a><\/strong> are murders, where the Traitors must choose a Faithful to sacrifice. While they sometimes target Faithfuls for certain reasons, the majority of murders are random. The Traitors try not to choose people they have visible issues with, to avoid suspicion. Murders are typically done in the privacy of the Turret, but occasionally the Traitors are forced to murder in plain sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recent murder of Yam Yam Arocho<\/a><\/strong> on The Traitors Season 4<\/a> has caused controversy among fans. Yam Yam\u2019s murder in plain sight has become a meme on social media, but other viewers have taken the event more seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yam Yam was the second player on The Traitors Season 4 to be murdered in plain sight<\/a>. The first was Rob Cesternino<\/a>, who was murdered after Rob Rausch<\/a> and Lisa Rinna<\/a> threw a card with his photo into the fire. Yam Yam\u2019s murder was a little more difficult to pull off, as The Traitors had to trick someone into touching an amulet at a special banquet. Lisa wore the amulet and asked Yam Yam to help her fix it. The first player to touch the amulet would be murdered, and unfortunately, Yam Yam fell victim to the trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the start of the banquet, the majority of the Faithfuls were already a bit on edge. The banquet was the perfect place for a murder in plain sight. When Alan Cumming<\/a> announced that a murder in plain sight had officially taken place, the Faithfuls panicked. They began overthinking everything that had happened, down to who had served the food and cut the meat. Others were concerned over cards with their faces at the head of the table, particularly Kristen Kish<\/a>, as her card had been pulled by Johnny Weir<\/a>. While the Faithfuls had several suspicions as to how the murder had taken place, no one suspected the amulet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Alan announced that a murder in plain sight had occurred, he offered a brief solution. There were two antidotes available to drink, which would undo the murder if the murdered player drank them. Chaos quickly ensued, with players fighting to get one of the anecdotes. Kristen got one, after she worried that her card being pulled meant that she was the one murdered. Natalie Anderson<\/a> drank the other, after she fought hard to get it, strongly believing that she had been murdered. Yam Yam didn’t end up with one of the antidotes, so he still ended up getting murdered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Alan revealed that Yam Yam was murdered, he turned to the group and claimed that Lisa had murdered him. While he didn’t realize he was murdered by touching the amulet, he believed that Lisa kissing him resulted in the murder. As he was taken out of the banquet, he continued to scream that Lisa had kissed him and murdered him. This resulted in everyone turning their attention to Lisa<\/a>, who had already been suspected of being a Traitor by a few players. After the episode aired, some viewers expressed that they felt it was unfair that Yam Yam was allowed to talk after being murdered, as no other murdered Faithfuls had the chance to do so. Others defended Yam Yam, arguing that it was reasonable under the circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should Yam Yam have stayed silent on The Traitors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the Round Table following Yam Yam\u2019s murder, Lisa was ultimately banished<\/a>. Many players based their vote around Yam Yam\u2019s accusation, as they found it to be solid evidence that Lisa was a Traitor. If Yam Yam hadn’t proclaimed Lisa to be a Traitor, it’s possible that Natalie<\/a> would’ve been banished instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Yam Yam yelling Lisa’s name was controversial, it was ultimately fair gameplay. Murders in plain sight differ from those done in the Turret, and there weren’t any rules that said Yam Yam couldn’t express his suspicions. As a Faithful, Yam Yam wanted to do what he could in his last moments of the game to help his fellow Faithfuls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Traitors<\/a> is available to stream on Peacock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
