“Boston Rob” Mariano and Bob the Drag Queen have put their Season 3 feud aside for a new project. The former Traitors are the hosts of Peacock’s official The Traitors podcast, which launched on Thursday, January 8, following the Season 4 premiere.
Together, they break down the strategy, drama, and fashion of each episode. They also bring on eliminated players to discuss their game and where it all went wrong. You can listen to the podcast on Spotify, Peacock, Apple Podcasts, and Peacock’s YouTube channel.
Reality Tea had the chance to chat with Rob and Bob about their new endeavor and where their friendship currently stands after their famous Season 3 rift.
Boston Rob and Bob the Drag Queen dish on new podcast
When Peacock announced the hosts of The Traitors podcast, fans were surprised by the unlikely pairing. After all, Bob and Rob didn’t leave Season 3 on the best of terms.
The two started as allies, working in tandem to eliminate major threats from the castle. But over time, Rob noticed Bob held considerable sway in the Traitors’ Turret, which hindered his ability to make decisions.
In an attempt to gain more control, Rob partnered with Faithful Dylan Efron to banish Bob from the castle. He delivered a convincing speech at the roundtable, putting the nail in Bob’s coffin.
Fans suspected the two were at odds, given Bob’s savage departure from the show, but the duo told us they have moved past game rivalries and developed a friendship.
“Out of all the folks from the castle, Rob is probably the person I talk to the most,” Bob told us. “It’s kind of ironic considering that [Rob and I] were such enemies in the castle. It’s truly a story about how, through hard work and dedication, any friendship can prevail.”
Rob said that Bob’s involvement in the podcast made him want to sign on.
“When I found out that Bob would be my counterpart, I was really excited,” he said. “It’s basically a review show of the hit show The Traitors. We bring different perspectives to the podcast. We’re having a great time doing it.”
The Traitors is available to stream on Peacock.
