The Traitors Season 4 Ian Terry Exit: The Price of Being a Big Brother Legend
Big Brother legend Ian Terry opens up about being the first murder victim in The Traitors Season 4. Discover why Donna Kelce targeted him and his thoughts on the gamer curse.
Even the sharpest minds can't outrun the Traitors' blade. Ian Terry, the champion of Big Brother Season 14, became the first casualty of The Traitors Season 4. In an interview dated January 10, 2026, Terry reflected on his early murder and the 'gamer' label that ultimately sealed his fate.
The Traitors Season 4 Ian Terry: Targeted by the Secret Traitor
Terry's downfall began when "Secret Traitor" Donna Kelce placed him on the short-list. He wasn't surprised. "I knew it," he told Entertainment Weekly, recalling the moment he saw the envelope. Terry believes Kelce, a self-proclaimed reality TV fan, targeted him specifically because of his reputation as a Big Brother winner. It's a classic case of a player's past success becoming their present liability.
Gamer Curse and the Turret Power Shift
One of the biggest shocks this season was the turret's composition. With zero players from Big Brother or Survivor chosen as Traitors, the power shifted entirely toward the 'Bravo' and celebrity contingent. Terry expressed surprise at the lack of gamers in the turret, noting that while he and Rob Cesternino were immediate allies, they never stood a chance against the targeted 'gamer vs. non-gamer' meta.
