Bob the Drag Queen, a fan-favorite from RuPaul’s Drag Race, entered Season 3 of The Traitors with high expectations. But just four episodes in, he found himself ousted, marking a surprising early elimination for one of the game’s original Traitors. His departure, driven by tension within the ranks and strategic backstabbing, has set the tone for a chaotic season ahead.
Internal Betrayal Comes Early
Loyalty among the Traitors was supposed to be an advantage. Instead, it became their biggest weakness.
Bob’s elimination stemmed from a power struggle between himself and fellow Traitor Boston Rob (Survivor, Deal or No Deal Island). The tension boiled over when Dylan Efron voiced suspicions, leading to an intense confrontation. While Bob expected a clash with Boston Rob eventually, he was surprised it happened so soon.
“I remember thinking to myself, ‘I’m probably going to get him or he’s going to get me.’ But I didn’t think it’d be Episode 4,” Bob revealed. “Let’s go to Episode 6 or 7, and then we’ll shake hands and all bets are off.”
Instead, Rob made his move early, rallying support to eliminate Bob, leaving the remaining Traitors—Danielle Reyes (Big Brother) and Carolyn Wiger (Survivor)—in a precarious position.
Boston Rob’s Influence Lingers
Bob wasn’t just blindsided by his elimination. He was frustrated by how it unfolded behind his back.
“I did not know they were going around plotting behind my back,” he admitted. “That Rob spoke to the other traitors about voting me out.”
Had Carolyn and Danielle resisted Rob’s persuasion, Bob believes he could have survived. But the damage was done, and the aftermath of his removal still looms over the game.
Boston Rob’s own elimination in Episode 7 came too late to undo the chaos. “The reason why the Traitors cannot get their s— together is because Boston Rob made it where Traitors can’t trust each other,” Bob explained. With trust shattered among the remaining Traitors, their path to victory has only grown more difficult.
Who Will Win? Bob’s Hope Rests on Danielle Reyes
Despite his early exit, Bob remains invested in the game’s outcome. He has one clear favorite for the win.
“I hope that Danielle Reyes goes all the way to the end,” he said. “I want Danielle Reyes to win by herself alone. I want her to be the one winner of the season.”
His confidence in Danielle signals that, despite the betrayals, he believes a Traitor still has a shot at victory. Whether she can navigate the fractured alliances and mounting suspicions remains to be seen.
What’s Next for The Traitors Season 3?
The stakes continue to rise as new episodes premiere on Peacock every Thursday at 9/8c. With the season finale and reunion set for March 6, viewers will soon find out if the remaining Traitors can recover—or if Bob’s elimination marked the beginning of their downfall.
