Are you a Faithful or a Traitor — or just obsessed with Peacock’s latest reality TV megahit? Here at Us Weekly, we’re 100 percent faithful to the only game show that pits Housewives against “gamers” and actual Olympians, with hosting duties carried out by the ever-glamorous Alan Cumming (who’s won four Emmys for his trouble).

Season 4 of The Traitors upped the ante with new twists and turns, leading to perhaps the most savage finale in Ardross Castle history. To recap: After banishing figure skater Johnny Weir, the final four — Love Island’s Maura Higgins, Olympic gold medalist Tara Lipinski, K-pop star Eric Nam and Love Island USA’s Rob Rausch — convened for their last vote. Rob, a Traitor from the beginning, had recruited Eric to his side late in the game after the banishments of original Traitors Donna Kelce, Lisa Rinna and Candiace Dillard Bassett, while Maura and Tara were the last two Faithfuls standing.

After the group unceremoniously banished Tara, Rob mercilessly played his last two costars against each other, convincing them both that he planned to go all the way with them and split the cash prize. Unbeknownst to Maura, this wasn’t possible, as he was a Traitor all along, while Eric was collateral damage in Rob’s scorched-earth plan to convince Maura she could trust him. The season ended with Rob coming out on top, winning $220,800 after throwing all of his allies under the bus.

Shortly after the cast taped this year’s reunion, Us Weekly sat down with Rob, Maura, Eric, Tara and late lamented gamer Natalie Anderson to unpack season’s 4 cold-blooded betrayals — and got the bottom of whether the smoked salmon was really that good.

A Snake in the Grass

Rob is the first Traitor and first solo player to win the show since Survivor legend Cirie Fields, also a Traitor, in season 1. Viewers — and some costars — initially underestimated the Alabaman snake wrangler as a smooth-brained himbo, but it soon became clear that his gameplay was some of the best Ardross Castle has ever seen.

Rob Rausch: I wanted to be a Traitor when they explained the rules to me. I clearly realized that the Traitors have every single piece of information that you need to win the game. It just comes down to your skill set. Like, there’s no excuse to lose the game if you’re a Traitor.
Maura Higgins: [When you see me find out Rob is a Traitor], you can clearly see I am in total disbelief. I’m in shock. I don’t think I’ve ever felt like that ever in my life. I genuinely always have something to say, and I just froze. I couldn’t even speak. I kept thinking, “I’m waiting for him to say, ‘Joking!’” I genuinely thought, “OK, this has gone on too long. Just tell me you’re joking now.” And he just didn’t say it. And then it finally sunk in, and I was just genuinely in shock. I just believed he was a Faithful the whole time.
Eric Nam: I was so sad and angry [when Rob admitted it]. More than anything, I was just really disappointed, because Rob and I had built a rapport in our relationship — not just when I became a Traitor, but from the beginning. Once I became a Traitor, that only became stronger, and it was kind of like we were able to communicate without even using words. And I was like, “You know what? We’re good. I think we’re gonna be fine.” And then when he turned, I felt so dumb and stupid and honestly disappointed, but at the same time, I’m like, “You know what? Great gameplay, great game.” He was a snake. I always like to give people the benefit of the doubt. When you’re in this game and you’re immersed for so long, sometimes you forget that people are still here to play the game. And I think perhaps I trusted him a little too much.
Rob: [Before the final vote], Maura came to me and made me promise to her that I was going to vote Eric out because she thought he was a Traitor. And that’s when I was like, “OK, I have to do this.” Because yes, given the opportunity, I’m going to take the money for myself. I love Eric. He’s a great guy. But at the end of the day, he’s a stranger. I knew him for three weeks. Like, what are we talking about? … It just wasn’t a risk I was willing to take — I had the game locked up. Why would I not just finish out strong?
Maura: In my head, I kept thinking like, “Oh, my God, imagine if it was Rob. But then what if he is a Faithful and then I turn on him, and then I have the biggest regret and I’ve trusted him the whole way through the show? Am I really gonna turn on him now and not believe him?” I just genuinely believed he was a Faithful. I think he played a fantastic game, and he is an incredible liar.

Reality TV stars and celebrities join Peacock’s The Traitors to see which Faithfuls can expose all the Traitors — but who ended up banished and murdered in season 4 as a result? Inspired by Dutch series De Verraders (which previously led to a popular UK version), The Traitors brings together a group of celebs, especially […]

It Was All a Game

Rob betrayed all of his allies on his path to victory, while Tara and Natalie let their sniping with each other get in the way of an organized strike. So how is everyone feeling now?

Tara Lipinski: I love Natalie! And now we have kept in touch and formed a really nice relationship.
Natalie Anderson: I feel like [Tara and I] could have done something and we could have won. But it doesn’t make it super personal.
Rob: Me and Eric are cool. Eric understands it’s a game. He said it took him a few days, but he got over it, and we’re cool. [With Maura], she took it like a champ, and she said she would have done the same thing, but it was hard because she really trusted me.
Eric: We’re good. It took a day or two for me to be like, “Wow, that was a crazy experience. And I can’t believe that I once again trusted somebody and I got completely stabbed in the back.” But Rob sent me a message after filming, and I think it just said, like, “My fault, G,” and I was like, “That’s just him.” At the end of the day, it’s a game, and I can’t be mad at him for playing a really good game. We’re friends, we’ve remained friends, we will stay friends. And I’m really happy for him.
Maura: Me and Tara are absolutely fine. We talk all the time. [With Rob], I’m not taking it to heart. It’s not real life to me — he was chosen as a Traitor. He’s not allowed to tell anyone, and he played an incredible game, so I can’t be mad at that. I can only be mad at myself for trusting the wrong person. He told me he’s going to get me a gift, which is going to be a Birkin handbag. So when he gets that, then he’s fully forgiven.
Rob: That is in the works. I’m in cahoots with Lisa. She said she could probably get my foot in the door so I can buy one. It’s proving way more difficult than I thought it would be.

Know Your Enemy — Or Don’t

Traitors contestants prepare for the game in various ways — watching old episodes, or in Dorinda Medley’s case, reading The Art of War — but season 4’s finalists took a somewhat more laid-back approach to the process.

Rob: I attempted to watch an episode with my best friend, and I just couldn’t get into it. I’ve been on Love Island, so I realized what you see is only a fraction of the whole story anyway, so I knew it wouldn’t really help me in the long run. This is a game that is completely based on the people you’re with and the connections you make and understanding those people, so there’s really no point in making a strategy until you’re in the game.
Tara: I watched season 3, but no other preparation! I never thought it would be as hard as it was. I made friends with everyone, and it was very hard for me to switch to harsh gameplay and not just follow my heart.
Natalie: I obviously studied the game.
Eric: When you get to the castle, you realize that unless you’re a Traitor, you really can’t have much strategy. The Faithful are so blind we have no idea what’s going on, and production does such a good job of keeping us completely confused the entire time that it’s really, really hard to have a strategy.
Rob: [Early in the game], we were going after people who were intellectually threatening, pretty much the people that I thought were the smartest and that could put two and two together — people that didn’t trust me. Like Mark [Ballas], Natalie — we left a lot of people in the game that I thought were very smart and strategic, but I think that they were blinded by our relationship to a degree that it wasn’t a risk to keep them in the game. Kristen [Kish] as well. There were quite a few people that were very smart that trusted me.
Maura: I had no strategy. I’m not gonna lie about it — I had zero strategy. I was learning every single day I was in there, and I was just like, “You know what? I’m gonna go in, serve some looks, hopefully stay in maybe for a week, make some friends and that’s it.”
Eric: [Maura] literally did nothing. Maura Higgins is that bitch, because she can literally do whatever she wants, and she’s fine — she was always protected. She literally would just be carried everywhere. We would just look at each other like, “We’re so f***ing good at this game.” And I was like, “Maura, you might be the best player, because you haven’t done a single thing, you haven’t lifted a finger, and somehow you’re in the final.”

100 Percent Salmon

Viewers usually don’t see much of what the contestants are eating, but this season, the smoked salmon served at breakfast became such a hot topic that it became a plot point on the show. So we had to ask: Was it really that good?

Eric: I don’t think there’s anything great about the smoked salmon. The issue is that we start shooting very early, and all the foods are cold, right? That breakfast is cold, the croissants are stale, the eggs are cold, everything is cold. And the only thing that’s acceptable to eat cold really, to me, is smoked salmon, and it’s the only form of protein outside of just a bowl of watery, hard-boiled eggs. There’s no seasoning or flavoring in Scottish food. So to have a kick of omega-3 and some salt via smoked salmon I think is what really got people so excited.
Natalie: The salmon was just something that was the best probably at the breakfast table. It was good, but not compared to good salmon, like if you go to New York City and you go to a good deli and you get a nice lox and cream cheese bagel.
Maura: I don’t think it was that good. Because the breakfast was so bad, that was the only kind of good thing we had, and because we didn’t have a lot of it, it was the one thing that we all wanted. The boiled eggs were cold, the toast was hard and cold. I can’t believe it became such a thing as well. Especially me, in every single episode, all I’m doing is eating. There’s companies DMing me offering to send me smoked salmon.

Castle Hindsight Is 20/20

It’s easy to play armchair Faithful from the comfort of your couch, but it’s a lot harder when you’re actually in the castle. Does anyone have regrets?

Tara: It would have been nice if Johnny and I had another Faithful to join our little alliance earlier, but we understand it was hard for anyone to trust anyone in the castle, so that was probably an unlikely hope to begin with! But no regrets — I tried my absolute best throughout the game.
Maura: I genuinely don’t take it that seriously, and I’m not a serious person. I’ve seen a few comments like, “Maura is the dumbest person in there,” but it’s so easy for them to say they know who the Traitors are. Like, it’s not that easy when you’re in there! It’s actually really, really difficult. But yeah, I wasn’t upset [about the ending] at all. I was actually very proud of myself for getting as far as I did. My advice for anyone that’s going to do The Traitors is don’t watch the show. Just go in and don’t have a strategy and just wing it, because it worked for me. I know that I trusted the wrong person, but at least I got to the final and I wasn’t murdered. Brilliant.
Natalie: My biggest regret is not playing a harder game. I could have put some of the worries about being targeted away, even though it was scary because they were killing us left and right as gamers, so it made it harder for me to be myself. But I should have just embraced that and just been like, “Listen, if you’re going to get murdered or banished, it’s better to just try.” … I should have just depended on myself, basically.
Rob: Murdering Mark was a tough one, because I really got close to Mark, and having to see his face right after was a tough one. And I think he knew [I was a Traitor]. I think he had figured it out, and so that’s how I know it was the right choice to make.
Eric: I would have been a little more wary of like, “OK, maybe Rob will stab you in the back.” It would have been a very complex thing to try to pull one over on him, because he had so much trust in the castle … but maybe I would have played it differently.

Making Lala Proud

Even if they didn’t come out on top, the cast can still hang their capes on their proudest moments in the castle.

Rob: I’m only thinking about the game and how it’s going to work out for me to win. I was there to win a game. I was not there for screen time or anything like that. I wanted to play and win.
Tara: It’s not the best gameplay strategy, but I’m proud that I played the game with my heart and stayed true to myself. I am not a reality star, and it was important to me that I stayed authentic to myself and played with integrity. I made a lot of friends in the castle, and I loved building those relationships.
Eric: My goal was just to have fun. This is the most random side quest I could have ever taken on. And more than anything, I just really wanted to leave an interesting impression on America. I’m American, I was born and raised here, but I had to go to Korea to build a career, because there’s just not a lot of people that look like me doing these things. And so I was like, “OK, I want to do this in a way that’s impactful, and then hopefully we can introduce the music and the multiple films and all the other things that I have going on in an interesting way.” And so from that perspective, I think it’s been fun and successful. And then the other part was like, I really just wanted to make good TV.
Natalie: I’m proud of being an asset. One of the best moments for me was when we were dividing up into teams for the statue challenge. Yam Yam [Arocho] goes, “Alright, so let’s make the strongest people captains,” and they picked me, Colton [Underwood], Rob and Stephen [Colletti]. It’s a different feeling for me — having people just be like, “Natalie’s one of the strongest, stronger than some of the guys. And we’re not going to argue with that.” That, for me, is amazing.
Maura: I’m just proud that I made it as far as I did. To be the last woman standing, I never would have thought that in a million years. I never watched the show. I got to wear all my outfits, and I’m probably getting a Birkin handbag. So, win-win.

The Traitors is now streaming on Peacock.

Grey’s Anatomy‘s newest episode paid tribute to Eric Dane after his death at 53.

The hit ABC series returned on Thursday, February 26, and featured a montage at the end of the episode that highlighted Dane’s best moments as Mark Sloan (a.k.a. McSteamy) through the years. Snow Patrol’s “Chasing Cars” played in the background with a message that read, “In loving memory.”

News broke on February 19 that Dane died after a battle with ALS, which is a nervous system disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord and has no cure. The day of Dane’s death also marked 20 years since he made his debut on Grey’s.

After the medical drama premiered in 2005, Dane joined in season 2 in an episode titled “Yesterday,” which followed Dr. Sloan’s arrival at Seattle Grace that forced Derek (Patrick Dempsey) and Addison (Kate Walsh) to confront their past. Despite only being in one episode that season, Dane’s screen time was increased, and he remained on the show until 2012.

Dane later reflected on how his struggles off screen contributed to his character being killed off.

“I think I was let go,” Dane said on an episode of the “Armchair Expert” podcast in 2024 about how he was dealing with addiction issues at the time. Dane clarified that the show’s producers “didn’t” let him go specifically because of that.

“Although it definitely didn’t help. I was starting to become — as most of these actors who have spent significant time on a show, you start to become very expensive for the network,” he explained about his experience before entering a treatment center in 2011. “And the network knows that the show is going to do what it’s going to do irrespective of who they keep on it. As long as they have their Grey, they’re fine.”

Dane added: “I wasn’t the same guy they had hired. So I understood when I was let go. And [executive producer] Shonda [Rhimes] was really great. She protected us fiercely. She protected us publicly. She protected us privately. … But I was probably fired. It wasn’t ceremoniously like, ‘You’re fired,’ it was just like, ‘You’re not coming back.’”

The Grey’s Anatomy cast and crew are mourning the loss of their costar Eric Dane following his death at age 53. The actor’s family confirmed on Thursday, February 19, that Dane died following a battle with ALS. “He spent his final days surrounded by dear friends, his devoted wife and his two beautiful daughters, Billie […]

Dane announced in April 2025 that he was diagnosed with ALS. Following his death, Rhimes, 56, released a statement reflecting on Dane’s legacy.

“Eric Dane was a beloved member of the Shondaland and Grey’s Anatomy families,” Rhimes said in a statement on February 19. “He was truly a gifted actor whose portrayal of Dr. Mark Sloan left an indelible mark on the series and on audiences around the world.”

She continued: “We are grateful for the artistry, spirit, friendship and humanity he shared with us for so many years. Our hearts are with his family, loved ones, and all who were touched by his work.”

Grey’s Anatomy airs on ABC Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET before streaming the next day on Hulu.

NeNe Leakes Surprises Fans By Soft-Launching New Boyfriend

Leakes Recently Sent ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Fans Into A Frenzy When It Was Announced She Was Returning To Bravo

NeNe Leakes Was Welcomed Back With Open Arms By Fellow ‘Housewives’ And Bravolebrities

Despite having plenty of competition, Dua Lipa may just be the queen of statement-making style. The pop star isn’t opposed to showing up on red carpets wearing completely see-through dresses, and even her more casual outfits have a touch of dramatic flair. She’ll amp up denim shorts with bulky, calf-length boots, or rock a $53,000 gold watch with a basic black pullover.

Lipa has been favoring Bvlgari’s Serpenti Tubogas Watch as of late, which makes sense given that she’s an ambassador for the fashion brand. Made to mimic the shape of a snake, the gold wrap-around style is embellished with diamonds. . . and completely out of our price range. However, in today’s world, nothing is totally unattainable. Amazon has its own budget-friendly version of the timepiece, and it won’t cost you a dime over $30.

Get the Snake Bangle Watch for $25 (originally $27) on Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication but are subject to change.

Sure, the snake bangle watch on Amazon is made of metal rather than real gold, and those ‘diamonds’ are actually glass crystals, but the chunky, slip-on accessory looks super similar to the real deal. Fashionistas will love telling time with the bold, analog design — or just using it as a statement piece to punch up whatever they’re wearing. Like Lipa’s version, this affordable alternative will add interest to basics or complement bolder styles such as a furry coat. It’s the ultimate rich-mom extra, and will no doubt have people believing you splurged on something pretty pricey.

If anyone knows about being dressed to impressed, Jennifer Lopez surely does. The singer, actor and entrepreneur attended a business meeting earlier this week, and she accessorized her look with the ultimate CEO-style accessory: a Hermès Kelly 25 Sellier Blue Sapphire Alligator Bag. According to a trusted Hermès Broker, Jane Finds, Lopez’s designer bag costs […]

Even Amazon shoppers say the watch “looks a lot more expensive than it is,” with many highlighting how stylish they feel just sliding it on.

“I’m absolutely in love with this snake watch!” one person wrote. ” I wear it every single day — it’s the perfect accessory that goes with everything. The design is bold and unique, and I get compliments every time I wear it. It’s stylish, comfortable, and definitely a statement piece. I love it so much, I’m planning to buy another one. If you’re thinking about it, just get it. You won’t regret it!”

Others shared that the piece — which also comes in silver and other variations — is an ideal weight and would work on arms of all sizes.

“I was looking for an edgy piece to add to my collection and found this, and I’m so glad I did!” a happy reviewer said. “It’s really nice, a little heavy but comfortable. Easy to put on and seems like it will last for a long time. It’s a little flexible, so I think if you have bigger arms, you could still use it, though it would wrap [fewer] times around you. Overall, I think it’s a great piece and amazing value for the cost.”

While you might be tempted to save the snake watch for special occasions, the inexpensive price tag means you don’t really have to. You can pair it with your winter knits, rock it with silky spring dresses, take it to a wedding or use it to solidify your spot as the best-dressed person at your office. It can be your new everyday essential!

As Lipa once sang, “glitter in the sky, glitter in my eyes, shining just the way I like.” She probably wasn’t talking about her watch, but now you can embrace the singer’s vibe — and copy her cool-girl style — with this $25 must-have!

Get the Snake Bangle Watch for $25 (originally $27) on Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication but are subject to change.

There’s a certain kind of comedy that clicks with audiences on instinct, and it helps when it’s irreverent, wildly energetic, and just downright stupid. In the 2010s, few film duos captured that spirit quite like the mismatched partners of the Jump Street franchise, who breathed new life into a long-dormant, previously more straightforward crime series. Now, if you’ve been meaning to revisit those films on streaming, your window is closing fast.

Both entries in the Jump Street reboot series are scheduled to leave Prime Video at the end of February, meaning less than a month remains for fans to stream one of the funniest action comedy duos in recent memory. The films — a pair of $532 million global grossers — turned a cult ’80s police drama into a self-aware comedy machine. They’re anchored by Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, whose chemistry as unlikely undercover cops brought the gags just as hard as the action.

In 21 Jump Street, Tatum and Hill play officers Schmidt and Jenko — two clashing partners sent back to high school to bust a drug ring. The follow-up, 22 Jump Street, sees them infiltrating a college campus as the jokes get bigger, the meta humor gets sharper, and the franchise’s willingness to poke fun at itself becomes part of the fun.

How Funny Are The ‘Jump Street’ Movies?

Collider’s review stated that 22 Jump Street clears the near-impossible hurdle of being a comedy sequel by doing exactly what Phil Lord & Christopher Miller, the duo behind the Spider-Verse films and the upcoming Project Hail Mary, do best: acknowledging expectations, then gleefully messing with them. The review praised the film’s self-awareness, noting how it edges toward parody without ever collapsing into it. Lord & Miller bring their animated sensibilities — honed on Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and The LEGO Movie — into live-action, stretching reality just enough to allow cartoonish, perfectly timed nonsense.

“The movie is always eager to branch out to other comic approaches, so the picture rarely feels stagnant. The characters are well-established at this point, and Hill and Tatum’s chemistry is even better. They bounce off each other perfectly, and while we expect Hill to be funny, he’s almost eclipsed by Tatum, whose growth as an actor continues to impress. I adore every one of their movies. They’re surprising, clever, weird, and while I could say their movies are far better than they have any right to be, the filmmakers have earned that right by succeeding again and again. 22 Jump Street shows that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Instead, admire your handiwork and brag.”

The Jump Street movies will leave Prime Video at the end of the month.

30 More Pounds to Go … for Ozempic Dream Bod!!!

EDITOR’S NOTE: This article contains spoilers for Ghosts Season 5, Episode 11, “The Others.”

Ghosts has finally returned from a lengthy midseason hiatus, and the latest episode is quite a doozy. When we last checked into Woodstone B&B, Trevor (Asher Grodman) had inadvertently triggered the introduction of The Others, following his baffling holiday hookup with Patience (Mary Holland). Ghosts Season 5, Episode 11, “The Others,” wastes no time in immediately revealing Patience’s friendly dirt ghosts to be none other than the familiar faces of Flower’s (Sheila Carrasco) cult/commune. The surprisingly large group of hippie ghosts have been tucked away in a secret bunker on the property — a new location that opens up several new story avenues for the future of the series.

Ahead of the episode, I caught up with showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman to bring audiences a sneak peek at what’s to come from the rest of Ghosts Season 5 for Collider’s Exclusive Preview event. During our conversation, we also dug into spoilers for tonight’s new episode, unpacking why they chose the cult for Woodstone’s newest additions, Trevor’s shocking romantic revelation, and what to expect from next week’s episode, which sees conflict arise between Thor (Devan Chandler Long) and Flower while another bunker ghost reveals a surprising connection to the property and it’s residents.

When asked why the cult ghosts made the most sense as the long-rumored “Others,” Wiseman revealed that the choice began in their love for that part of Flower’s backstory. “Part of it was we love the cult. We will love Will Greenberg, who plays Bruce, the leader of the cult,” said Wiseman. “As we started talking about who the others were, we wanted something that obviously made sense, and we sort of established this cult as in the area, so we just started talking about it, and it seemed fun, and it has an immediate impact on one of our characters.”

‘Ghosts’ Just Expanded Its Core Universe in Season 5

Port went on to explain that using the pre-existing cult also worked from a practical standpoint as a large group of people who could’ve died on the sprawling property and gone unnoticed for the next 50 years. He told Collider:

“They seemed like people who could have credibly died underground at the mansion to us, like in that Heaven’s Gate sort of way. I have no idea if Heaven’s Gate people died underground, but it was a mass event. Then we thought it could be tied to the bunker at Woodstone, and there’s a surprising Woodstone connection to the cult that will be revealed. In the second episode back, we’re going to learn a Woodstone connection to the cult.”

Adding both a new location on the property and a nebulous number of spirits gives Ghosts another source for outside players to bounce off the main ensemble beyond patrons of the B&B. “It’s nice to be able to have ghosts pop in and out,” said Wiseman. But don’t worry, the cult won’t be stealing too much of the spotlight from the show’s beloved ensemble. Wiseman went on to say, “Similar to how we have the basement ghosts, we have the shed full of English ghosts, we have the attic with Stephanie, and now we have a bunker that has a group of ghosts, some of whom we haven’t met yet. We can always sort of justify, like, ‘Oh, there’s someone else in the back.’ So, it’s a nice way to get people in and out, since we have a restrictive rule of not being able to cross property lines.” Still, Port also joked that the B&B is more haunted than ever, making it a questionable destination for travelers, “In terms of being a bed and breakfast, though, it seems like a risky place to come stay. I wouldn’t check in. [Laughs]”

Trevor Is in His Fool Around and Find Out Era

Elsewhere in the episode, Trevor comes to a shocking — and for some, disappointing — revelation that he might reciprocate Patience’s nigh-unhinged feelings. While the moment certainly adds a complicated layer of comedy and an unexpected turn for the house’s most notorious playboy, it comes as a slight shock to see Trevor taking this route with Patience instead of his simmering situationship with Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky). When asked where this particular storyline might be heading, Port and Wiseman feel that there’s plenty of time to keep playing a bit of relationship roulette. “They’re ghosts, and their timelines are longer than ours,” said Port. “They’ve been around for a long time, so things have a long time to play out.” He went on to tease Trevor’s brief connection with Barbara (Gracie Dzienny), which may have done lasting damage to his relationship with Patience. “We did like that Trevor’s going to have an interesting connection with one of the cult members, as well, which is going to play into his situation with Patience,” said Port.

For fans hoping Trevor will ultimately find his way back to Hetty and realize they’re a “match made in heaven,” there’s still time. As Wiseman explained, last year’s two-season renewal gave the writing duo the space to play around without having to rush towards a particular endgame. He told Collider:

“And it also, as far as the long-term plans for Trevor and Patience or Trevor and Hetty, it’s sort of a luxurious situation where we were already picked up for Season 6, so we knew, creatively, we also didn’t have to rush anything. We can sort of play around and see what different combinations bring forth, etc., etc. So, it was a nice situation to be in as writers, that we didn’t have to try to, like, ‘Oh, is this the last season? Do we need to get people in a certain state?’”

‘Ghosts’ Is About to Reveal a Major Woodstone Secret

The relationship drama — and the bunker revelations — are far from over as Wiseman tees up next week’s episode, which looks to serve up some delicious conflict for Thor and Flower, as well as, Hetty and Sam (Rose McIver). Next week, in Episode 12, “The List,” Thor and Flower “have an argument over a piece of furniture, and we’re going to do a fun flashback to Thor’s original marriage during his lifetime that will inform this current argument,” teased Wiseman. “I think that’s true that a lot of people have the same issues from relationship to relationship, and Thor is no different. It’s just his relationships span a thousand years, you know?”

Meanwhile, a mysterious bunker ghost is about to come forth and perhaps reveal more about the lineage between Sam and her great great great aunt. The episode’s logline teases that “Sam and Jay work to secure Woodstone B&B a coveted spot on a prestigious luxury hotel list, only to face unexpected chaos when a vengeful newly discovered bunker ghost disrupts a crucial visit.” Wiseman went on to elaborate on what to expect saying, “We’re going to also meet that interesting connection between the Woodstone family and the cult and sort of learn why that cult ended up in that bunker.”

Ghosts is available to stream on Paramount+ and new episodes air weekly on CBS every Thursday at 8:30 PM ET. Stay tuned at Collider for more!

Nique took to X (formerly Twitter) heated and ready to clear the air, especially after rapper Fredo Bang referred to her as a “toy” when a commenter asked him, “Wanna tag Fredo Bang and ask how he feel bout yo ex linking up with yo main opp?” Nique responded, “We all know you love your toys b**… grown a** man just wanna say sumn !!!”

Nique’s family was quick to enter the chat with love and support amid the continued online backlash she received. Nique’s mom, Cindy, took to her Instagram Story sharing a recent photo of her daughter with the caption: “Always wanted to be friends with a superstar then BOOM God blessed me with my daughter @niquee. You that girl!!!! #1fan”

Rapper DDG and content creator Diamond Nicole, who are related to Nique, also showed love in her comments. DDG wrote, “Do u cuzzo!” while Diamond added, “Keep ur foot on they neck Nique.” Diamond later took to X to get a few more things off her chest, this time directing her energy toward Jania.

Diamond wrote, “Honestly, karma a mf when Jania sit up there and lied and told her baby daddy I did somethin to her child honestly that’s what she get!” She continued, “Moral of the story, don’t sit up there and lie on people knowing ain’t nothing happened to your child that’s evil.”

Shortly after that an alleged audio connected to the situation Diamond referenced began circulating online. In the clip, NBA YoungBoy appears to question Diamond about claims she allegedly pinched his and Jania’s son Kacey back in 2021. In the audio, Diamond can be heard denying the accusations and alleging that someone lied and sent it to Jania’s DMs at the time

While Nique’s supporters defended her in the comments, others speculated that her link-up with YB could’ve been for content.
