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.

The reunion also showcases the lighter side of the cast, with moments like Sierra's playful comments about Boston Rob's past appearance and the unexpected (and unintentional) Jennifer Coolidge impression by Gabby. The hosts appreciate the reunion's ability to balance drama and fun, providing a satisfying conclusion to the season. As the episode wraps up, Rob and Pooya reflect on the season's highlights and the potential for future Traitors seasons, leaving fans eager for more.

Rob and Pooya Discuss:

- Brittany's pivotal vote against Danielle

- The anticlimactic nature of the finale

- Dylan's strategic social game

- Bob the Drag Queen's standout reunion performance

- The ongoing tension between Brittany and Danielle

The Traitors Season 3 finale and reunion offer a rollercoaster of emotions, with Rob and Pooya providing insightful commentary on the highs and lows.

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.

Today, Rob Cesternino and Pooya chat with the most recently banished player of The Traitors US Season 3.

Rob Cesternino and Pooya host an exit interview with Carolyn Wiger, the latest banished contestant from Traders. Carolyn opens up about her experiences, the emotional toll of the game, and her interactions with fellow contestants.

Carolyn shares her thoughts on the intense dynamics at the round table, where she faced off against Danielle. Despite her initial confidence in allies like Dylan, Carolyn found herself navigating a complex web of alliances and betrayals. She candidly discusses the emotional impact of social media criticism, emphasizing the importance of empathy and understanding in the face of online negativity.

A key moment in the interview is Carolyn's reflection on her impulsive decision-making during the game. She admits to reacting emotionally, particularly during the round table discussions, where she felt triggered by the treatment of fellow contestant Tom. This emotional response, she explains, was driven by her own experiences of feeling dismissed and misunderstood.

Carolyn also touches on her missed opportunity to collaborate with Rob, revealing that preconceived notions and fear of being a "zero-vote finalist" influenced her decisions. Despite these challenges, Carolyn remains proud of her authentic gameplay and the connections she formed.

Rob, Pooya, and Carolyn discuss:

- Carolyn's alliance with Danielle and Dylan, and the subsequent betrayal

- Emotional reactions at the round table, particularly towards Tom's treatment

- The "dumb coffin theory" and Sandra's advice to stay quiet

- Missed opportunity to work with Rob due to preconceived notions

- Carolyn's struggle with social media criticism and her commitment to authenticity
