The reality star, 60, became the first Faithful to be “murdered” by the devilish group of Traitors in the second episode of The Traitors U.S. season three. Peacock’s hit series sees 21 contestants gather at a Scottish Highlands castle to compete for a cash prize of up to $250,000. “Hidden amongst the Faithful are the Traitors, whose goal is to eliminate the Faithful and claim the prize for themselves,” the official synopsis states.

“Under the cover of darkness, the Traitors murder the Faithful one by one in a treacherous spree, while the Faithful try to uncover the Traitors and banish them from the game. If the Faithful contestants banish all the Traitors, they will share the prize fund, but if a Traitor or Traitors makes it to the end, they will steal all the money.”.
Medley, who’s known to Housewives viewers for her big personality and temper, was chosen as the first elimination in an attempt to cause confusion and chaos among the rest of the Faithfuls. “We can disrupt the Housewives, we can frame [Lord] Ivar,” Traitor Bob the Drag Queen said, listing off the reasons why Medley would be the ideal choice.
