Rob Rausch, who came away a winner after Season 4 of The Traitors, revealed who should go on the game show next.

"I’d like to see Kaylor [Martin], Serena [Page] from my season of Love Island, and Nic Vansteenberghe from Season 7 —he’d be funny," the star, 27, who teamed up with Crown Royal and Realtree to launch their first-ever camo bag and capsule collection, exclusively told OK!.

The handsome hunk, who grew up in Alabama, admitted that appearing on the show was a whirlwind.

"I’m still trying to get my bearings. I’ve been doing a lot of press and traveling. I’m ready for things to slow down a little bit, but it’s been good. I’m really grateful for the opportunities," he shared. "I was surprised by how many people were tuning in — it turned out to be a big show, which was cool. But as far as the reactions, it checks out. People are going to have opinions. Some people love it, some don’t — that’s just how it is."

Since the Love Island alum doesn't really watch reality TV, he only "recognized" Michael Rappaport when he got to the castle, which helped his game.

"I try not to have preconceived biases anyway. And when you literally don’t know people, it’s even easier," he explained.

Though Rausch didn't come onto the show to make friends, he's thrilled Eric Nam and Maura Higgins are two of his besties.

"It’s been great. We’ve hung out in New York, and we just laugh the whole time. They’re hilarious. We even have a group chat —me, Eric, and Maura — it’s called 'Top Three,'" he admitted.

As for what helped him win the competitive series, Rausch said he was just "himself."

"That’s really the only way to do it," he stated. "People are never going to fully understand you, especially if they don’t know you. Reality TV only shows a small part of who someone is."

"Stay true to yourself. And if you’re a traitor — lie as little as possible. Build real connections so it’s easier to navigate things later. You don’t actually have to lie that much," he shared about his strategy.

For now, Rausch is excited for what's next — whether that's appearing on TV or on to other projects.

"I’ve had some opportunities, but I haven’t signed anything yet. I’m just going with the flow and seeing what feels right. I didn’t even seek this out—I turned things down before. It just kind of happened," he said.

In the meantime, "Crown Royal is introducing a co-branded camo bag and capsule collection in collaboration with outdoor brand Realtree, creator of some of the world’s most recognizable camo patterns. Created for Crown Royal Fine Deluxe, the brand's leading variant, the release reimagines the iconic purple bag with Realtree’s signature APX camo pattern. This marks the first time Crown Royal has transformed one of its most recognizable assets through a collaboration of this scale. With the co-branded bag at the forefront, the brand has developed the limited-edition Crown Royal Camo Capsule Collection, featuring wearables and merchandise that give whisky lovers and outdoor enthusiasts everything they need to enjoy a classic Crown Royal kickback," the press release reads.

Since Rausch, who is a snake wrangler, loves the outdoors, the partnership was a no-brainer.

"It was a super easy partnership to be a part of. Crown Royal is something I’ve always gone to back home—like at a pool hall with friends or around a bonfire. A little Crown and lemonade—that’s your sweet spot. And as far as the Realtree part, it just made sense. The clothes they made for the partnership are things I’d wear anyway. They fit perfectly into my wardrobe. It just felt natural," he said. "Since I was a baby, I’ve been out in the woods with my dad and my family. It just feels like home. Even being here — it feels like home."

"I was super excited — especially when I found out I’d get to come here to the Realtree farm. That’s a really cool opportunity. And everyone here has been great. It just feels like I’m hanging out with my buddies — playing cornhole and working on this partnership," he added.

As for the alcohol brand, Rausch loves their Crown Royal Whisky Lemonade. "I can’t think of a time when that’s not good. Lemonade is the way to go," he quipped. "I just love it. I love being here, I love the clothes — they fit my style — and I love Crown Royal. It just fits into my lifestyle."
