From the moment his casting was announced, fans of RuPaul’s Drag Race knew Bob the Drag Queen would make iconic television on Season 3 of The Traitors. Now that the first three episodes have been released, their predictions have come true: Bob is dominating the season.
With his unstoppable charisma, Bob would stand out in any role — but the producer’s clearly knew he deserved as much screen time as possible and made him one of the show’s titular traitors, meaning he’ll be scheming in the shadows throughout the season to take out his fellow competitors.
Entertainment with an edge
Whether you’re into indie comics, groundbreaking music, or queer cinema, we’re here to keep you in the loop.
Bob was one of three traitors at the start of the game, along with Big Brother’s Danielle Reyes and Survivor’s Carolyn Wiger. The three are a trio seemingly tailor-made to entertain the gays — and Bob agrees. “When is right it’s right,” he wrote in a post on X. Bob and Reyes’ moment of discovering one another are traitors is especially a fan-favorite.

“King of Drag” is an exciting series in its own right, but it also has fans musing on the future of TV’s biggest drag competition.
The queen herself has spoken.
He’s bringing theatrics throughout the game, too, from tears at morning breakfast…
…to the roundtable, where players can vote each other out. His argument with Dylan Efron, Zac Efron’s brother, was especially iconic. Slipping a drag name recommendation into a brutal clapback? Let’s hope Bob makes it to the end of the game, delivering legendary one-liners all the way.
Hopefully, producers will take note and cast more and more drag artists on future seasons. Kandy Muse, for one, sounds interested in throwing her hat into the ring, and after her performance on House of Villains, we’re in full support.
New episodes of The Traitors release every Thursday on Peacock at 9 p.m. ET. Check out the season’s trailer below.
