Welcome to RHAP’s coverage of ALL the Traitors iterations from around the world, including New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. The Traitors US is a high-stakes reality competition set in a secluded castle, where contestants must work together to complete challenges and earn a prize pot—while rooting out the secret traitors hidden among them.
Rob Cesternino and Pooya discuss the finale of The Traitors US Season 3.
The Traitors Season 3 finale wraps up with a mix of excitement and disappointment as Rob Cesternino and Pooya dissect the events. The finale, which Rob describes as a “nothing burger,” leaves fans with a split pot of $204,000 among four faithfuls. Brittany’s decision to vote out Danielle becomes a focal point, with Rob expressing frustration over the lack of drama and the drawn-out cliffhangers. Pooya notes that Brittany’s use of the seer power had minimal impact, and Dylan’s social game helped him avoid suspicion. The hosts agree that the finale lacked the expected thrills, with Rob lamenting the missed opportunity for a more dramatic conclusion.
As the reunion unfolds, Rob and Pooya highlight the dynamics between the cast members. The reunion, described by Pooya as the best of the three seasons, features lively interactions and a few surprises. Bob the Drag Queen emerges as a standout, bringing humor and energy to the event. The tension between Brittany and Danielle is palpable, with their relationship remaining strained despite attempts to patch things up. Rob and Pooya discuss the respect between Bob the Drag Queen and Boston Rob, noting the camaraderie among the cast despite past conflicts.

Today, Rob Cesternino and Pooya take listener feedback on episode 8 of The Traitors US Season 3 with special guest, Jamal Shipman.
Rob Cesternino hosts a discussion with Jamal Shipman, a former Survivor: Island of the Idols contestant, about the latest developments in The Traitors US Season 3. Jamal recently started watching The Traitors and shares his thoughts on the game and its players.
The conversation begins with Jamal reflecting on his initial impressions of the show. He admits he wasn’t immediately hooked but found the third season more engaging due to its improved challenge design. Jamal highlights how the challenges now require players to weigh their roles as traitors or faithfuls more carefully, adding depth to the game.
The discussion shifts to Danielle Reyes, a runner-up from Big Brother 3, whose gameplay has been polarizing. Jamal critiques her decisions, noting her struggles to adapt her strategy to The Traitors format. Danielle remains in the game despite her questionable moves, partly due to the other players’ limited knowledge of her background.
Jamal and Rob explore the dynamics between Carolyn and Danielle, who are at odds over whether to recruit or murder another player. Jamal suggests that Carolyn should allow Danielle to recruit Brittany, only to later betray her. This strategy, he argues, could give Carolyn an advantage in the game.
The conversation also touches on the broader implications of the show’s dynamics, with Jamal drawing parallels between the game and real-world social interactions. He notes how players’ assumptions and biases can lead to false accusations, a theme that resonates beyond the game.
As the episode concludes, Jamal speculates on the future of the game, questioning whether Danielle will be able to maintain her position. He also considers the potential for Carolyn to recruit Brittany, despite the tension between them.
