The Traitors Season 4 has officially kicked off and is already proving itself to be an unpredictable season. Season 4 featured a new twist, where one Traitor was chosen to be the Secret Traitor. The role went to Donna Kelce, who ended up being banished at the second Round Table. Luckily for the other three Traitors, they’ve been able to fly under the radar. This season’s Traitors include Real Housewives alums Candiace Dillard Bassett and Lisa Rinna, along with Love Island USA star Rob Rausch.
While all of the Traitors have brought something unique to the season, Rob has quickly emerged as one of the strongest players on Season 4. After the first three episodes came out, fans all over the Internet declared Rob as their immediate favorite. While Candiace and Lisa are certainly good Traitors, Rob has already established himself as the best.
Rob Rausch is a lowkey member of the cast, which helps him to disguise his identity in The Traitors Season 4
Rob was an excellent choice for a Traitor, given his well-positioned place in the game. Every season on The Traitors, there tends to be certain groups of players. One of these groups is the gamers, who tend to come from either Survivor or Big Brother. Since these shows involve a lot of strategy, these players are sometimes seen as coming in with a bit of an advantage. The first three seasons of The Traitors each featured two gamers as Traitors. It’s nice to see someone like Rob come from a show like Love Island and be chosen as a Traitor, as dating show contestants usually aren’t chosen as Traitors. Several of the gamers have already raised suspicion, which helps to take attention away from Rob.
The other big group of contestants is typically the Real Housewives. Season 4 began with five Real Housewives, which is nearly a fourth of the entire cast. It’s almost too obvious that at least one is a Traitor, especially since no Bravo stars were Traitors during Season 3. With Candiace and Lisa both being Traitors, it’s likely that one of them could potentially get banished soon based simply on their show. This helps Rob to easily hide behind them, as he isn’t as likely to be suspected of being a Traitor. It’s quite possible that Candiace and Lisa could both get punished, which could leave Rob as the sole Traitor who wins in the end.
Rob has already proven himself to be a strategic Traitor
As soon as he was chosen to be a Traitor, Rob got right to work on strategy. During the first mission, he didn’t object to being put up for murder. He put up a good act to look nervous, which helped him to look like a Faithful. Rob’s also built good relationships in the castle and has taken the time to talk with people, which is important.
Rob’s best strategic moment so far was his efficient handling of the murder in plain sight. While Candiace led a Conga line, Rob managed to slip away and grab the shortlist without being spotted by anyone. He then proceeded to decide who to murder with Lisa over a game of chess, while several Faithfuls were in the room. The plan went off without a hitch, and no one suspected Rob or Lisa. This shows how seriously Rob is taking the game and proves that he is strategic enough to make it to the end.
Rob is extremely likable and it’s nice to have Love Island representation in the turret
In addition to being an excellent Traitor, Rob is also a very likable player to watch. He’s popular from his time on Love Island, and brings something different to the show. It’s always nice to have likable players to root for in the turret. After some recent Traitors have been controversial with fans, Rob is a huge breath of fresh air.
It’s also nice to see a Traitor from Love Island for the first time. Traitors are historically chosen from the same type of contestants, which gets boring after a while. It’s nice to see Season 4 mix things up. There haven’t been many of Love Island contestants on The Traitors, which makes Rob’s run as a Traitor even more enjoyable to watch.
The Traitors is available to stream on Peacock.
