This season of The Traitors is truly the gift that keeps giving, and—spoiler alert—Bachelor Nation's Wells Adams was one of the first Faithfuls to get the boot from the deluxe Scottish castle. After he accused Real Housewives of Potomac star Robyn Dixon of being a Traitor, the round table turned on him as she pointed out he had been “acting different.” However, he recently revealed that his wife, Sarah Hyland, totally thought he would go the distance on Peacock's beloved reality competition.
During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Wells said that Sarah wasn't too happy about his quick elimination from the series. “Yeah, she wasn't super proud of me,” he said. “I mean, there's vows that we said for better or worse, so she can't divorce me over this. She was bummed, I think. She ended up watching it this morning. I'm like, ‘What did you think?’ And she was like, ‘Yeah, you don't look that bad.’ I'm like, ‘It's that bad, isn't it?’
“I think she thought that I would win,” he added. “I thought that I would win, and then I didn't. So here we are.”
The Bachelor in Paradise bartender got candid about his strategy going into the show, admitting that he planned to “shut up and stay under the radar.”
As he explained, “I don't think I could stay on all the time. I'd kick my own ass if I did that, I think. I don't know what I would do differently.” He then compared his on-camera behavior to Bravo's Real Housewives. “With the Housewives, the one thing I noticed is that they are constantly like that,” he shared. “I remember being like, ‘It's got to be exhausting to be you. You're always yelling at people and going crazy. You got to chill out, man. Your blood pressure must be off the Richter scale.’”
Wells also revealed he felt betrayed by Robyn's switch-up during the round table discussion, as they built a friendly off-camera rapport. “That's why it was so hurtful,” he explained. “There are times when you're not filming because you're in a car going somewhere or whatever, or there's times when you're just not filming and you're chitchatting about life and stuff. She was one of those people that I was around all the time.”
He continued, “And so when she called me out, I was actually hurt. I was like, ‘I know about your family, we've talked about your podcast. I know all this stuff, and you're saying that I'm acting different.’”
Side note: Can we go back to appreciate Sarah's July 2024 appearance on the Today show, where she *pretends* not to know that her husband gets banished in the second episode?
