Three episodes into Season 3 of The Traitors, Bob the Drag Queen is the name on everyone’s lips. The RuPaul’s Drag Race winner has quickly become a divisive figure after — spoiler alert! — being chosen as a traitor and taking out two Real Housewives, Dorinda Medley of The Real Housewives of New York City and Chanel Ayan of The Real Housewives of Dubai.
It’s the latter who’s now going viral for her hot take on Bob after learning he was one of the four traitors who sent her packing. In a new video interview with Ayan after her elimination, she learned the identity of the traitors and gave her… *ahem* unique reasoning for why she thinks Bob sent her home.
Even before learning Bob was the guilty party, Ayan brought his name up: “I think I was killed because I’m fabulous. Bob the Drag Queen — I think he f*cking killed me,” Ayan said. “I thought that he’s jealous about my looks, because couple of times, he’d be like this.” With that, she impersonated an intense side-eye and a fake smile.
“I’m like, ‘What the f*ck is wrong with this man?’” she went on. “He goes, ‘But I came with the looks. I thought I was going to be the look queen.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, sh*t. He does not want to see me fabulous.’ I’m the queen of fashion. Game on, b*tch.”

The queen herself has spoken.
Soon after, Ayan learned that her suspicions were correct, and Bob played a part in eliminating her from the game. She immediately claimed that jealousy was Bob’s main reason for kicking her out of the castle.
“I’m so used to people being jealous of me, and I knew nobody was gonna kill me, because everybody loved my looks. Everybody gave me compliments,” she explained. “You did not get no f*cking compliments, and that’s why you killed me, b*tch! B*tch! And you will never be fabulous as me.”
“He is so lucky that he killed me, because my game plan next day if I was alive was to call him out,” she added. “I was going hard on him.” Apparently, regardless of Bob’s true motivations, he made the right call.
Later in the video, while conferring with fellow eliminee Tony Vlachos of Survivor fame, Ayan again shared her not-so-sunny feelings about Bob.
“I wish him not to win,” she said. “It was the fake love. I feel like everyone was genuine with their love towards me, and he was doing the fake, and I hate it.” Watch Ayan and Vlachos’ full exit interview here.
We may have been robbed of Ayan’s looks, snark, and an on-screen confrontation with Bob, but at least the Drag Race icon is still in the game. New episodes of The Traitors release every Thursday on Peacock at 9 p.m. ET. Check out the season’s trailer below.
