Before Dan Gheesling joined Season 2 of The Traitors, the reality star hadn’t appeared on a competition game show since the days when he was winning – or getting close to winning – Big Brother.
Now, he spends most of his time streaming on Twitch, as well as being a husband and father. Consequently, he has little time to consume the sorts of series he would like to. However, he did reveal to Bravo and Blaze that he’s a “huge Vanderpump Rules fan” and even gave a shoutout to James Kennedy while pitching him to be on Season 3 of The Traitors.
Also, during his confession, the strategic mastermind admitted that he has ties to a former Pump Rules star. Keep reading to find out who!
Which Pump Rules star did Dan Gheesling grow up with?
For those who haven’t been keeping up with Dan’s post on X, formerly known as Twitter, he’s a big Detroit Lions fan since he’s from Dearborn, Michigan. And what Pump Rules star had the same stomping grounds?
“Get ready for this one,” Tom teased. “I grew up with Kristen Doute.”
SHOCKER! The now-banished Traitor then told a story about when he met up with Kristen and her ex-boyfriend, Tom Sandoval, once in Los Angeles.
“Right when Vanderpump Rules’ first season came out, I was with my wife. We were in LA, I met with Kristen and Tom Sandoval at this bar … This was when Vine was out. We were there for like 15 minutes, Kristen had a taser out, [and] she was getting Tom to try and film her getting tased on Vine.”
You know what … sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do for the Vine.
In the meantime, you can stream Season 2 of The Traitors on Peacock and catch Kristen in her new series, The Valley, when it airs on Bravo in the spring.
