The Traitors Season 3 Episode 9 featured Sam Asghari's elimination

The ninth episode of the Peacock reality show featured Traitors discussing potential targets. Everyone had different opinions, which somehow resulted in Sam being the target. It happened after Carolyn mentioned the risks associated with him.

Listening to that, Danielle, who wanted to recruit Britney Haynes, also agreed, and they all decided to target Sam. One of the reasons for choosing Sam was that he had been quite involved in strategic conversations. Seeing how he had been quite good at such discussions raised a few flags, which eventually became the reason for his elimination.

The next morning, when The Traitors participants were gathered for breakfast, they noticed Sam's absence. It only meant one thing - Sam's murder. After analyzing the situation, the players initiated a discussion as to what could have been the reason behind the murder.

Fans must have noticed how the game is getting stronger with each elimination. Regarding that, NBC shared that:

"With each season of The Traitors, the executive producers have progressively upped their game by casting larger-than-life personalities to compete in a series of missions to earn a cash prize of up to $250,000. The players have gotten smarter, which means the show's hiding of Traitors among the Faithful contestants to upend the game has gotten more pointed and diabolical."

For the fans who might not know, The Traitors host Alan Cumming chose Sam Asghari to become a Faithful on the reality show.
