Rob Rausch Previously Explained Why He Turned on Lisa Rinna on 'The Traitors'
Rob Rausch stated that he strategized Lisa Rinna's exit from 'The Traitors.'
The Love Island USA star previously explained his motivations behind betraying Rinna in an interview with Page Six, after the host asked him about his "strategy" to getting his fellow traitor out.
"She wasn't convincing a lot of people that she was a faithful. And so, she was going to get banished. It was a matter of time," he said.
Rausch delved deeper into it, saying, "They talk about the history of the voting. And like, people that voted for [Donna Kelce], night one, they're like, 'they have to be faithful.'"
Rob Rausch explained his reasoning behind betraying Lisa Rinna on 'The Traitors.'
Rob Rausch commended Lisa Rinna for forgiving him for his betrayal on 'The Traitors.'
"And so, I wanted to kind of replicate that with Lisa. I wanted to vote with her as soon as the suspicion was on her," he said.
"So that when people looked back, they would have been like, 'Well, Rob's a faithful, like, he voted for Lisa immediately, and a traitor wouldn't do that," he added.
Rausch also commended The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star for forgiving him in the same interview.
"She got over it so fast...Like, she, she looked like she went through every single emotion you could possibly have. And at the end, she was like, 'Well played. I would have done the same thing to you,'" he said.
