This article contains spoilers for season four of The Traitors. Yamil "Yam Yam" Arocho wasn't the only notable exit from last week's episode of The Traitors. While the Survivor winner was literally dragged out of host Alan Cumming's castle during the episode's banquet on January 29, other aspects of the dinner also got the boot.
"I will say, there's a lot you don't see," contestant Eric Nam told Entertainment Tonight at the 2026 MusiCares Person of the Year banquet honoring Mariah Carey on January 30. "They've toned down a little bit of the craziness 'cause it might've been a little too crazy."
"There was a lot more screaming," he continued. "There were potentially some tears that were welling up. I just remember being like, 'Holy crap, this is insane.'"
And while Eric was "genuinely" confused as to what was happening while filming the banquet scene alongside fellow cast members Lisa Rinna, Tara Lipinski, and Rob Rausch, he remembers one specific detail that was given the edit treatment.
"When Yam Yam was murdered and taken away," the 37-year-old added, "his natural volume was a lot louder than it came off on TV." But even though Eric said The Traitors' editing team "toned it all down," he emphasized, "It was a fun episode."
"It's dramatic, a little traumatic, but hopefully fun for everyone at home," he shared. "I'm glad [the internet] loves it."
Eric also admitted that he was "of course" sad to see Donna Kelce—mom to Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce—get voted out in episode three, but knows it's the name of the game.
"She was also a Traitor, so what are we gonna do?" he said. "We did our job. We had to get her out, but we love Donna."
