The Traitors Season 3 has delivered some jaw-dropping moments. And I’m not just applauding host Alan Cumming’s magnificent looks. The mayhem started when Alan chose three Traitors to share the turret.
Big Brother star Danielle Reyes, along with RuPaul’s Drag Race icon Bob the Drag Queen and Carolyn Wiger of Survivor all agreed to don the cloak and murder Faithfuls. However, Alan had a surprise up his sleeve. He brought in a fourth Traitor: Survivor legend Boston Rob Mariano.
The turret in the Scottish castle was crowded and anything but calm. Soon, the Traitors were turning on each other at the Round Table. Meanwhile, the Faithfuls were desperately trying to banish Traitors. If any Traitors remained at the end of the game, they would claim the entire prize pot.
This season of The Traitors leveled up in every way. The casting was amazing, except for a couple of head-scratchers like Britney Spears’ ex-husband, Sam Asghari. And it was open season on Real Housewives since the first two murder victims were Dorinda Medley and Chanel Ayan.
Well, now that Season 3 of The Traitors has taken its final bow, let’s look back at this season’s wildest moments.
A trio of reality veterans secretly join the game in The Traitors Season 3
When the contestants first arrived at Alan’s castle, he gave them the option of allowing Boston Rob to enter the game. If someone decided to add him to the castle, then someone else had to be banished. No one took Alan up on the deal, so Rob departed.
However, Alan met up with Rob and two other gamers in the woods that night. The Challenge star Wes Bergmann and Derrick Levasseur of Big Brother would enter the game as Faithfuls. However, Boston Rob earned the title that the trio all wanted: Traitor.
The next day, the players were led out to the woods, where three elevated cages held the trio. For the challenge, the players located coins to make the cages slowly lower to the ground. No one saw this twist coming, and the Faithfuls were left wondering if one of their new roommates could be a Traitor.
Boston Rob banishes Bob the Drag Queen on Season 3 of The Traitors
At first, the Traitors decided that they would all work together. That lasted all of five seconds. As soon as Bob the Drag Queen commented that one of the three new players must be a Traitor, Boston Rob was furious. However, when he told Carolyn and Danielle that he was going after Bob, the women didn’t want to vote for him. So, Rob agreed to stick with the original plan.
Instead of keeping that promise, he dashed around the castle, stacking up support for voting for Bob. And Dylan Efron, who had already been suspicious of Bob, was the Survivor legend’s right-hand man.
Then Boston Rob took control of the Round Table and the game. Of course, Bob the Drag Queen didn’t see it coming, and Carolyn and Danielle were enraged. However, Bob put a nail in Rob’s coffin before leaving the castle.
“When you say his name, he’s going to stand up there and say, ‘I’m a Traitor,’” Bob said about Boston Rob at the Round Table. And at the Circle of Truth, he stated, “Faithfuls, listen to my words very carefully. I will tell a truth, but I will never tell a lie.”
Bob the Drag Queen may as well have hung a cloak on Rob. The Deal or No Deal Island contestant’s confident argument about Bob being a Traitor made him look sus, and Bob’s warning was Rob’s downfall.
Tom Sandoval and his golden pipes come in handy during The Traitors Season 3
During Episode 8, Vanderpump Rules alum Tom Sandoval stepped into the role that he was born to play. Before that, Tom was catching attention for all the wrong reasons. His sweaty armpits hypnotized the internet, while his crazy gaze worried some of his fellow contestants.
If anyone was concerned about Tom’s bizarre theories, it wasn’t the Traitors. He latched onto Dolores Catania, accusing her of being a Traitor with zero evidence. However, it was during a chaotic mission that Tom had one shining moment.
One-half of the players were in a freaky dollhouse in the woods, while the rest waited at the castle. The contestants in the dollhouse had to sing backwards lullabies over the phone to their castle counterparts. They would then sing it into a recorder. Thanks solely to Tom and his very extra vocal stylings, they banked money for the prize pot. Huzzah!
Danielle Reyes’ gameplay is giving red flags on The Traitors Season 3
Danielle’s gameplay has been shocking to many this season. First of all, her over-the-top breakfast room tears are not having the desired effect. It was cringey.
Then, we have the urn challenge. The players gathered in a chapel, where there were urns and two empty picture frames. After Alan recited a riddle, players would find the answer on an urn. Then the players would drop the urn on the floor. If gold ashes appeared, they would add money to the prize pot and could select someone’s photo to put in the frame. The two players whose photos were in the frames at the end of the game would win immunity.
So, as a Faithful, having a shield was incredibly important. It meant that you couldn’t be murdered by The Traitors. However, when Danielle won her round, she awarded a shield to Dolores. Of course, it made her look sus, because only a Traitor wouldn’t need a shield. That was a mind-blowingly bad move.
Then, Danielle had another chance to do damage control. However, all she did was more damage. Once again, she gave away a shield.
Tom Sandoval calls females “better cheaters” on The Traitors Season 3
Of course, Tom believed that he did his best work at the Round Table. Welp. No one should repeatedly piss off Paterson Dolores of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. It’s just not a good plan.
Besides going after Dolores, Tom made the mother of all slip-ups during the Episode 8 Round Table. He tried to explain why he felt that one of the remaining females had to be a Traitor. Instead, he said that women “make better cheaters than guys because they have better social skills.” Yikes!
As you may recall, Tom’s affair with Rachel Leviss, his ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix’s friend, broke the internet. As soon as the ladies at the Round Table started to pounce, he clarified his position.
“Women make better Traitors,” he stated, while admitting that men are more likely to be unfaithful. Yet another humorous moment from the man trying to escape the Scandoval that he created.
Britney Haynes voted out fellow Traitor Danielle Reyes during Season 3
When Danielle was the final Traitor, she recruited fellow Big Brother player Britney Haynes to join her or be murdered. Of course, Britney agreed, and the duo got straight down to business and murdered Tom.
Finally, Danielle was thrilled at the prospect of trusting someone in the turret, and of finishing the game with her friend. But her relief was short-lived. During the Round Table, Danielle tried to target Gabby Windey, but Gabby stood her ground and defended herself.
When Dolores once again went for Lord Ivar Mountbatten, Danielle did the same. The vote ended up being tied with three votes for Danielle, and three votes for Ivar. Thus, the stage was set for the remaining four players to vote again.
Dylan and Gabby voted for Danielle, and Dolores again went for Ivar. That meant that Britney was the deciding vote. And she did her fellow Traitor dirty.
Naturally, Danielle was stunned that she was reliving her Big Brother past once again. As for Britney’s reason for voting for Danielle? She claimed that her vote wouldn’t have saved her. It was just a matter of time before Danielle was banished, and made Britney possibly sus by association. So, in a shocking season full of twists, these were The Traitors Season 3’s wildest and most epic moments.
The Traitors is available to stream on Peacock.
