Quick answer: Across the four completed US seasons and four completed UK series, the prize has gone to Traitors four times and to Faithfuls four times. Traitors won US Seasons 1 and 4 (Cirie Fields, Rob Rausch) and UK series 2 and 4 (Harry Clark; Rachel Duffy and Stephen Libby). Faithfuls won US Seasons 2 and 3 and UK series 1 and 3. The Celebrity Traitors series 1 was won by Traitor Alan Carr, for charity (Wikipedia: US; Wikipedia: UK; BBC News).
Who wins The Traitors comes down to the End Game. At the fire, the last players vote to “end game” or “banish again,” and if any Traitor is still standing when it ends, the Traitors take the whole pot. Here’s how every season of the two biggest versions has finished.

Season 1 (2023): Cirie Fields takes it all
The first US season mixed civilians with reality stars. Survivor legend Cirie Fields won as a Traitor and took the full $250,000. That’s still the only time in either the US or UK show that a winner has taken the maximum prize. Andie Vanacore and Quentin Jiles, both Faithfuls, were runners-up.
Season 2 (2024): CT and Trishelle
From Season 2, the cast was all celebrities and reality stars. The Faithfuls won: The Challenge’s Chris “CT” Tamburello and The Real World’s Trishelle Cannatella split $208,100, with Shahs of Sunset’s Mercedes “MJ” Javid as runner-up. Phaedra Parks, Parvati Shallow and Dan Gheesling were among that season’s Traitors.
Season 3 (2025): four Faithfuls
Four Faithfuls shared $204,300: Dolores Catania, Dylan Efron, Ivar Mountbatten and Gabby Windey. Traitor Britney Haynes, who had been recruited in episode 10, was banished at the end.
Season 4 (2026): Rob Rausch
Love Island USA Season 6’s Rob Rausch won as a Traitor, taking $220,800. Maura Higgins, of Love Island UK, was runner-up as a Faithful. The season also introduced a “Secret Traitor”: Donna Kelce. (Rob’s Love Island castmates are in our Love Island USA Season 6: where are they now.)
Season 5: The Traitors: New Blood (2026)
The first all-civilian US season premiered on NBC on September 17, 2026, with episodes streaming the next day on Peacock. It’s still airing, so there’s no winner yet. One new twist: every time the players banish a Traitor, $15,000 goes into the pot (Wikipedia). Our guide: The Traitors: New Blood and Season 6.
