“For once, you were actually faithful.”
Tom Sandovalcertainly left his mark onThe Traitorsthis season.
I felt like it was meant to be.

I know I was dead wrong at times, but I felt like I played a pretty good game.
Obviously, they can’t show everything.
And then we know if it’s not Dolores because Ivar was suspicious of Dolores as well.

You did a good job."
So I was like, “Well, that’s great.
I feel like I did contribute.”

I’m bringing joy to the screen, whatever the circumstance.
You definitely were bringing the entertainment this season.
What did you think of the edit you got onTraitors?
Alan Cumming, Tom Sandoval, and Britney Haynes on ‘The Traitors’.Euan Cherry/Peacock
I thought it was really funny.
I didn’t know exactly how I was going to come across.
Dylan thought it was Robin and really thought it was Gabby and was completely oblivious to Boston Rob.

And Robin thought it was like Bob H., and Bob H. thought it was Robin.
People were all over the place.
But they definitely liked showing who I thought theTraitorswere, which is great.

BetweenVanderpumpandTraitors, which show more accurately portrays who you are in real life?
I would say thatTraitorsis more about who I am now in my life.
Does that mean that you knew she wasn’t a Traitor at that time?
Why were you going after her so much?
I really did feel like she was a Traitor for a while.
When that didn’t happen, I started to look otherwise.
That’s honestly it.
Do you regret telling Alan you didnt want to be a Traitor?
Do you think you could have played a better Traitor game?
[Laughs] Hell no.Hellno!
I don’t regret telling him that.
If I would’ve been a Traitor, I think I just would’ve went home.
I just did not want to do it.
It would not have been fun for me the way it would’ve been fun for somebody else.
It also wouldn’t have been looked at the same way.
Ugh.I just was like, “Dude, can we get some new material?”
It’s been a couple years.
[Laughs] But I get it, whatever.
What did you think of that theory?
I think that’s a really f—ed up thing for her to say.
It’s very mean.
That castle was really hot, I was not feeling well.
Dylan took his shirt off as well.
A lot of people were surviving off coffee because of not sleeping.
And I’m like, “So do all my good friends.
It’s totally cool.”
Do you regret going after her as a Traitor?
No, when she pulled her blindfold off, she was looking down and acted really weird towards Tony.
She was like, “So you’re a cop.”
And I looked at Tony and he was like, “Dude, did you just catch that?”
I felt that she acted very odd and very strange.
Her demeanor changed after the blindfold.
I felt like we hit it off, I was being genuine.
That’s not me.
And then they were like, “Oh, you’re in a band?
Blah, blah, blah.”
And I was like, “Yeah, do you want to hear something?”
So I think I did that once.
You weren’t requesting it for every car ride?
No, I wasn’t.
[Laughs] I was not doing that!
Somebody asked and I was like, “Yeah, you want to hear it?
Let’s check it out.”
I don’t know why that didn’t end up in the show.
We were done with the challenge at that time, so I get it.
But yeah, I played a little trumpet.
What else happened out there that didn’t make it into the episodes?
It was obviously edited down.
It’s hard when you’re in the moment trying to do so much.
So that’s one of the reasons why I was eating so fast.
So you don’t normally eat hunched over a table?
[Laughs] No, I don’t.
You’re welcome, America.
