The Traitors Season 3 has been proving why it’s the brand new nice actuality tv collection. We’ve got been so entertained in solely 4 episodes. The fourth episode could also be the most effective of the Traitors US to this point.
It has every little thing: intrigue, devastation, betrayal, intelligent strikes, Zach Efron receiving strays, and probably the beginning of one of the intense and evenly matched actuality TV rivalries. I liked Episode 4 of The Traitors Season 3, however I’m conflicted about a few of the choices made throughout it. I would like to speak about it.
Warning: The Traitors Season 3 Episodes 1-4 spoilers are forward. Proceed with warning.
Boston Rob Main The Cost To Take Out Bob The Drag Queen Was A Thrilling Second
I really like Bob the Drag Queen and was very excited to see him as a Traitor. There was lots of potential with Bob taking part in this recreation treacherously. He gave us loads of iconic moments in his quick time on The Traitors Season 3. He was one of many collection finest casting choices but. Nevertheless, Bob didn’t play the most effective recreation as a Traitor. Because of this Dylan Efron was ready to determine his treachery early.
I didn’t count on Bob to final all season however my jaw fell when Boston Rob Mariano determined to activate him on the roundtable. Now, I admit that I don’t know a lot about Rob’s actuality TV historical past, so I didn’t know of his cutthroat methods. Perhaps this might have been an anticipated final result if I had been extra knowledgeable about Rob’s gameplay on different exhibits.
As a lot as I really like Bob, I additionally love nice actuality TV moments, and this head-to-head battle between Bob and Rob is TV gold. It’s stunning and thrilling and provides The Traitors followers one more second to excite them about their funding on this Peacock authentic. This Rob vs. Bob showdown is now within the actuality TV Corridor of Fame. It would develop into certainly one of The Traitors’ high moments ever.
However, I Do not Know If It Was The Proper Transfer
Now objectively, as thrilling because the scenes have been, I don’t know if it was the neatest transfer. Boston Rob reacted unexpectedly to Bob planting some seeds about him probably being a Traitor. Bob didn’t straight goal Rob, however he steered that one of many three new gamers (Boston Rob, Wes Bergmann, and Derrick Levasseur) might be a Traitor. So Rob took on a get-him-before-he-gets-me angle.
This isn’t a nasty method however it appeared too quickly to make such a daring transfer. In most seasons of The Traitors, the Traitors don’t activate one another till extra Faithfuls have been banished. Additionally they normally solely do it when there is no such thing as a different choice, or once they know they should give the Faithfuls a Traitor to shift the main focus. Rob had many choices earlier than he turned the tables on Bob.
For instance, The Traitors solid members Nikki Garcia and Ciara Miller had some warmth on them. Rob may have simply ridden that wave and allowed certainly one of their banishments. As a substitute, he began planting seeds about Bob. Then went for the kill in the course of the roundtable. He additionally left fellow Traitors Danielle Reyes and Carolyn Wiger with few choices and so they needed to be a part of him in opposition to Bob.
It was a serious transfer, which appears to have labored in Rob’s favor however possibly not for lengthy.
It Could Elevate Crimson Flags For Carolyn And Danielle About Working With Boston Rob
The preview for The Traitors Season 3 Episode 5 exhibits Carolyn and Danielle discussing possibly going after Rob that week, or a minimum of quickly. Carolyn and Danielle haven’t been working collectively successfully to this point. Nevertheless, Rob could develop into the enemy that unites them. Moreover, Bob’s leaving could open the door for Danielle and Carolyn to develop nearer as authentic Traitors. Danielle and Bob have an in depth relationship, so Danielle doubtless desires to avenge this betrayal.
Carolyn additionally doesn’t appear to love Rob’s actions as a result of they present his ruthless nature. He betrayed the crew. Danielle and Carolyn now know they’ll’t belief Rob. We haven’t seen the aftermath of him working to take out Bob but, however I do know he’ll attempt to clean issues over with them.
And if he does, they could each fake that they perceive and it’s nice. Nevertheless, Danielle and Carolyn are simply as strategic as Rob. They could fake to maintain the peace, however I’d additionally count on them to plot and scheme to get him out. If Rob had not taken such a giant swing at Bob, the Traitors may have collaborated a bit longer, probably. If Bob was naturally focused, the band may have stayed collectively with out him. Now a battle could also be brewing between Danielle and Rob, which may result in Carolyn finally having to choose a facet.
It Additional Sparks My Worry That He Would possibly Be The Final Traitor Standing.
As a lot as I hate Rob’s transfer as a Bob the Drag Queen fan, there’s a probability it really works out in his favor. He earned lots of belief by serving to take him out. Now Dylan and others suppose Rob is their man. Nevertheless, some extra savvy gamers, like Wes, know that it’s suspicious that Rob felt so assured to focus on Bob.
Final week certainly one of my fears about this season was that Boston Rob can be the ultimate Traitor standing. As acknowledged, I don’t have something in opposition to Boston Rob. I don’t know the person. I favor Danielle, Carolyn, and Bob as a result of I do know extra about their previous actuality TV expertise. Wes has most likely fully realized that Boston Rob is a Traitor however it’s unclear if he has sufficient affect to push that narrative.
Rob has gained so many over that it now could develop into almost inconceivable to get sufficient votes to banish him.
Bob Was So Entertaining On The Present That It Feels Like A Main Loss
Bob was one of many massive presences on The Traitors Season 3. Due to this fact, we’re sure to overlook him on this present. It additionally sucks to see one other drag queen go away so quickly. Moreover, he is among the few examples of LGBTQ+ illustration on The Traitors. Bob received eradicated so early due to messy gameplay however that made him so enjoyable to look at.
I don’t watch The Traitors US Season 3 for stellar gameplay. If I wished that, I’d most likely simply rewatch The Traitors UK Season 2 or The Traitors US Season 1. I would like these actuality TV stars to be messy, entertaining, and outrageous. Bob was delivering all of that this season. He will likely be missed and mourned (by me particularly). The Traitors Season 3 takes a giant hit together with his departure.
The Traitors Season 3 streams with a Peacock subscription each Thursday at 9/8 C.
