One of the things that has made The Traitors a bona fide hit is the fact that its structure is incredibly simple. The Traitors murder the Faithful; the Faithful banish the Traitors. Last year, the hit Peacock series decided to try a new twist outside of the format, introducing the power of the "Seer." And Season 4 brought another ingredient into the mix, giving one player the mysterious power of the "Dagger."Here's everything to know about the Dagger on The Traitors Season 4, including what it is and who won it in this week's episode.

What is the "Dagger" on The Traitors?
The Dagger is a special power that one player can possess on The Traitors. It gives them the ability to cast not one, but two votes at the Round Table. The power can only be used once, and it is only applicable for the next four Round Tables (AKA Episodes 7-10).As with many twists on The Traitors US, the Dagger first appeared in the U.K. version that aired across January. With the Brits, though, the Dagger was actually bestowed upon one player by the Traitors themselves. In the American version, the top six competitors in the Mission were given the opportunity to play to win the Dagger. And if you're looking to watch the Dagger manifest across the pond (which you should, as this year's U.K. season was excellent), Season 4 should be hitting Peacock following the end of the U.S. season in late February.

Who won the Dagger on The Traitors?Rob Rausch
Thanks to his rock-skipping skills, Rob Rausch earned the most gold out of everyone in the Mission. That gave him the power position in the final round. Each of the six players were given a tile, one of which had a dagger on it. Rob had to interrogate each player and determine which one had the dagger. He accurately clocked that it was Natalie Anderson, winning the power for himself.What makes this even more interesting is the fact that Rob is a Traitor! He has already confirmed that he'll only use the Dagger if he feels he's in immediate danger. And, given the fact that his fellow Traitor Candiace Dillard Bassett is already staring daggers at him (for lack of a better term), that may come out sooner rather than later!
