Johnny Weir is already a fan-favorite this season on The Traitors. So is his hidden friendship with Tara Lipinski, whose headshot sits hysterically in a gilded frame on his nightstand. We LOVE watching these figure skaters run into each other by surprise. And now, thanks to Johnny’s recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live, we also know what other aspect caught Johnny by surprise during filming.
Johnny Weir appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen
On a recent episode of the WWHL After Show, host Andy Cohen turned the mic over to his studio audience. In the crowd, a fan took his bait. At the mic, this fan asked Johnny, “What was the most surprising thing on The Traitors that you wish you knew before entering the castle?”
After a quick exhale, Johnny answered, “I think a lot of people are shocked to know that, because of the secrecy of the show, there are no hair and makeup teams. So those beats that everyone does? They’re on their own getting ready in the morning and saving it all day.” This claim also shocked Andy, as evidenced by his “Wow.”
Andy next wondered about the last episode, where “everyone got wet” during one of the challenges. Immediately after, these stars had to put on their original outfits. “Did everyone get to shower, blow dry, all that stuff” first, Andy asked?
“If there’s time,” Johnny said. But they couldn’t “talk about the game” when the cameras turned off. Therefore, they only received “ten minutes” or so to “freshen up.” Even still, Johnny stressed, “some of the [hairstyles] the girls were pulling” were impressive.
The Traitors is streaming on Peacock with new episodes dropping every Thursday at 9/8c. Meanwhile, Watch What Happens Live airs Sunday through Thursday nights on Bravo.
