Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water — Scandoval appears! This time, the controversy made it to Scotland during the premiere of Season 3 of The Traitors. Chrishell Stause expressed suspicion that Tom Sandoval was coming for her due to her friendship with his ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix.
Looks like you can take Tom out of the Scandoval but you can’t take the Scandoval out of Tom. Chrishell seems to think so and shares her opinion with the other participants in the reality TV competition. Perhaps, Tom bit off more than he could chew at the Traitors’ mansion. And while it’s natural to assume Tom would have an advantage in a show about betrayal (I mean, right?), it looks like many are suspicious of him from the get-go.
Chrishell Stause thinks Tom Sandoval might be sabotaging her for being friends with Ariana Madix
Traitors is all about chaos, backstabbing, and stirring the pot and it looks like the new batch of Faithful and Traitors are getting down to it right away.
Dylan Efron told Chrishell that Tom immediately mentioned her. “Right when we first walked out Tom mentioned you,” he shared with the Selling Sunset star. “It was like five steps out of there.”
Chrishell wondered if it might be because of her friendship with Ariana. “Do you think it’s because I’m friends with Ariana and he knows that?” she asked Dylan, Nikki Garcia, and Danielle Reyes. “That’s sabotage!”
Nikki agreed with her assessment and answered, “Probably. That’s so not cool. That is sabotage.”
This did not sit well with Chrishell. In a confessional, she shared that she figured Tom had a bias against her because of her opinion of him for what he did to Ariana. But she vowed to give just as good as she got. “If the ship’s burning, he’s coming down with me,” she said.
Tom called our Chrishell’s “strange behavior” at the roundtable and she honestly said he made her uncomfortable how he “threw names out and made the most chaos.” She shared how they initially spoke and agreed to not make it awkward, but it was oh-so-awkward.
Not surprisingly, Chrishell voted for Tom saying, “The Traitors have to be able to lie, cheat, and deceive easily. And since I know that you possess all of those skills, I voted for you.”
The Traitors airs Thursdays on Peacock at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.
