Bob the Drag Queen Reveals His Pick for The Traitors Season 3 Winner: "That's My Dream"
The Drag Race star also dished on Boston Rob and his elimination.
Bob the Drag Queen may have been eliminated from Season 3 of The Traitors, but, perhaps ironically, he has faith in another Traitor to finish what he started.
Bob, who became famous on RuPaul’s Drag Race, was one of four Traitors starting out in Season 3 of Peacock’s Emmy-winning reality series and the first to be eliminated. He was voted off at the end of the show’s fourth episode, following Dylan Efron’s suspicions and a confrontation with fellow Traitor Boston Rob (Survivor, Deal or No Deal Island). In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Bob said he was surprised to see infighting between the two Traitors so early in the game.

“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,” he said. “Let’s go to Episode 6 or 7, and then we’ll shake hands and all bets are off. But until then, let’s just get out some Faithfuls. I didn’t realize that he was gunning for me”
Bob blames Rob for his early ousting, and he implied it’s the Survivor all-star’s fault that the Traitors, whose ranks also include Carolyn Wiger (Survivor) and Danielle Reyes (Big Brother), are in a tough spot.
“I did not know they were going around plotting behind my back. That Rob spoke to the other traitors about voting me out,” he adds. “Obviously he persuaded them, which is so annoying because I think, [I’d have to] recount the number, but if Carolyn and Danielle [their fellow Traitors] hadn’t voted for me, I would’ve stayed.”
Boston Rob was eliminated in Episode 7, though Bob says the damage is done.
“The reason why the Traitors cannot get their s--- together is because Boston Rob made it where Traitors can’t trust each other,” Bob said.
Nevertheless, Bob — who said he has avoided any spoilers about what happens in Season 3 following his banishment — wants a Traitor to win.
“I hope that Danielle Reyes goes all the way to the end. I want Danielle Reyes to win by herself alone. I want her to be the one winner of the season,” he told THR. “That’s my dream for Season 3.”
New episodes of The Traitors Season 3 premiere on Peacock on Thursdays at 9/8c, with the season finale and reunion premiering on March 6.
All episodes of Seasons 1 and 2 are available to stream right now on Peacock.
