Wes Bergmanndoesn’t regret what seemed to be his game-ending threat duringThe TraitorsRoundtable.
WES BERGMANN:[Laughs] Yeah, me too.
How did you feel going into that Roundtable?

Did you anticipate it was going to be a battle between you and Boston Rob?
He made a mistake, he got clocked.
That’s all that I did.

The full context of the Roundtable lost the plot a little bit.
And sure, I’m going to let that argument slide.
That is, in fact, true.

He said that I was using humor to deflect.
Then I give all my arguments that you guys see, and it’s perfect.
It almost looks like the producers have given me the answer, it’s that good.

But then I go, “Now I want to address being the funniest person in the house.
Because that’s the only argument.”
And everyone was crickets, and they were kind of laughing and smiling.
Euan Cherry/Peacock
It is, in fact, funny, despite the fact that it’s a paranoid environment.
Those people had made up their minds.
And I’m cheating because I have the truth.
He has to make stuff up on the fly, and I don’t blame him.
If I was him, I could not have done any better.
So I was sitting there just laughing at the whole situation.
Do you believe that also played a part in your banishment?
To which, all I have to say is that is the only tool a Faithful has.
There is only one place to defend ourselves, and that’s with numbers.
There’s no footage of me doing anything aggressively.
That said, I don’t know.
Whether they thought I was a Traitor or not, they weren’t sure where I stood.
And I was just, the whole time, looking for a group.
At first, I tried to get intotheSurvivorgroup, but then Rob killed theSurvivorgroup.
I know this is going to sound really bad, but I was trying to get into the Bambis.
I was prepared to go to any home and pay more than my fair share of rent.
Just let me in.
We also saw Chrishell and Ciara vote against you.
What do you think was your mistake that cost you their votes?
I was tampering it down, she was not.
I’m not 100 percent sure, I think Chrishell just didn’t like me.
For whatever reason, I rubbed Chrishell the wrong way and she was on Team Rob.
But the Ciara one definitely confused me.
The two idiots, Sam and Ivar, who knows what they’re doing.
We don’t know because they’ve been edited out of the show.
They were voting for other reasons.
But he did have sex withBritney Spears, and I commend him for that.
He’ll always have that on me, and that is very, very impressive.
But in every other area of life, he’s my beta and he knew it.
I’m not sure.
The internet is definitely helping me self-reflect.
They’re calling television stars.
We say ridiculous things.
We vote out people, we form alliances.
InHouse of Villains, I essentially tied for first and was robbed for that situation.
I almost stole the entire showandwon it.
At the time of your banishment, who did you think were the Traitors?
You never know for sure.
I’ve got other stuff to work on.
Don’t say that, leave it alone."
And I tried to diminish it.
Did you come up with your exit speech on the spot or did you have that planned?
That was on the spot.
You now get to flip the bird, burn whatever bridge you want, this game is over.
Tell ‘em what they deserve to be told."
F— you.
So yeah, prepare for more speeches like that.
It was classic Wes.
[Laughs] Yeah, I saw someone make that comparison online too.
That is classic Wes.
