Spoilers for The Traitors season 4 below!
Just because Bob the Drag Queen and Boston Rob Mariano are no longer competing for a $250,000 cash prize in Alan Cumming’s Scottish castle, that doesn’t mean they can’t weigh in on the fan-favorite murder mystery game on The Traitors. The TV personalities—who both served as Traitors on the show’s last season—are now the hosts of The Traitors official podcast, which means they’re diving into every strategy, murder, and banishment from each episode. Naturally, we’re seated for the chaos that’s sure to commence with these two on the mic.
On the pod’s premiere episode, Bob got candid about Survivor alum Rob Cesternino’s gameplay in the first batch of episodes…and, let’s just say he had his critiques about the strategy that eventually led to his murder. Bob called out how Rob C. pretty much yapped about the Traitors killing in plain sight to anyone who would listen—including one of this sesaon’s Traitors, Candiace Dillard Bassett.
“Watching that back, how do you feel like that decision played out for you?” the RuPaul’s Drag Race alum asked, to which Rob C. responded, “So, what you’re saying is that it’s a bad idea to tell the Traitors when a murder in plain sight is gonna be happening? That’s not good?”
“Yeah, I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say, yeah, that’s a bad idea to tell the Traitors, ‘I know what you’re up to,’ and then being like, ‘Weren’t you the one?’” Bob quipped.
Rob C. took the criticism in stride as he laughed it off. “Hmm, yeah, hindsight is 20/20 on that,” he said, adding, “I think Candiace is an incredible player. And I felt very good about her, but in my own journaling after, I really started to think about, like, ‘You know what? Candiace could be a Traitor.”
As for how he clocked the murder in plain sight, which was executed under the radar by Lisa Rinna and Rob Rausch? He said he “had an inkling” that it “could just be one of those nights” in the game. He even thought he’d been marked safe from the murder as it was happening.
“I didn’t think I got recruited!” Rob C. admitted of when he received the letter revealing his death. “I was very disappointed. I was very confident when I was getting ready for breakfast that morning, because I felt like, ‘I know the Traitors murdered in plain sight and nobody did anything to me.’ I didn’t drink out of a cup, nobody touched my face, nobody said a weird thing to me, so I really felt very confident.”
Little did Rob C. know Candi’s conga line led to his demise. “I don’t care if you guys are in the conga line, or Alan is in the conga line. Never again!” he joked after revealing he had “no regrets” about his time in the castle. “I’m not doing the conga line, I’m not doing the limbo, forget it.”
Well, at least there’s one less Rob to keep track of in the game now.
