Season 3 of The Traitors started with drama from the jump. When the contestants arrived, some were less than thrilled to see Vanderpump Rules alum Tom Sandoval.
When Tom cheated on his longtime girlfriend, Ariana Madix, with her friend, Rachel Leviss, the internet lost its mind. The ensuing drama, dubbed Scandoval, engulfed all the stars of Pump Rules, and it was messy.
So, when the “The Bambis,” made up of Chrishell Stause, along with Nikki Garcia, and Gabby Windey gave Tom the cold shoulder, it wasn’t a shock.
Chrishell Stause says Tom Sandoval is not her “favorite” on The Traitors Season 3
A few seconds after the Traitors were selected, Tom was already floating Chrishell’s name because her behavior was sus. “Do you think it’s because I’m friends with Ariana and he knows that? That’s sabotage!” Chrishell told some cast members from The Traitors.
At the Round Table, Tom predictably mentioned “strange behavior” exhibited by Chrishell. When it was time to vote, Chrishell had her say. “The Traitors have to be able to lie, cheat, and deceive easily,” she told Tom. “And since I know that you possess all of those skills, I voted for you.” Ouch!
Recently, Chrishell discussed her interaction with Tom at the Round Table. There were zero good vibes in that room. “He’s terrible. To be honest with you, there was no other reason for him saying my name. He just said it so blatantly that he knew I was a Traitor,” the Selling Sunset star explained.
“Of course, he’s going to act like, ‘Oh, I really was just playing the game.’ To me, it felt personal and you probably can’t change your mind at this point.”
Well, it seems Chrishell hasn’t changed her mind. She recently told TMZ that Tom is not her “favorite” on The Traitors. Well, duh! She added that the animosity “goes both ways.”
So, if Tom planned to go on The Traitors to shed his villain persona, consider that mission a failure.
The Traitors is streaming on Peacock with new episodes every Thursday.
