Tom Sandoval Heads to ‘The Traitors’ Season 3: Can He Brush Off the Drama?
Tom Sandoval, the reality star best known for his role on Vanderpump Rules and his controversial involvement in the #Scandoval cheating scandal, is entering a new arena: The Traitors. The highly anticipated third season of Peacock’s hit competition series premieres on January 9, 2025, and Sandoval is already stirring the pot.
Is he ready to redeem himself in the eyes of viewers, or will his past transgressions cast a long shadow over his gameplay?
A Sarah-free Reality Check: Can Sandoval Regenerate His Image?
Sandoval’s appearance on The Traitors comes amidst continued fallout from his affair with Raquel Leviss, which rocked the Vanderpump Rules world and left many fans skeptical of his intentions.
Despite initial reports of cast tension and criticism from fellow reality stars like Dorinda Medley and Ciara Miller (who called him "annoying" and complained about his self-centered nature), Sandoval appears undeterred. He hopes to turn a new page, proclaiming he’s "finally being taken seriously."
Will audiences buy it?
Not So Fast: Fellow Cast Weigh In On Sandoval
While Sandoval expresses optimism, his Vanderpump Rules co-stars have been less than enthusiastic. Chrishell Stause, who co-stars on Selling Sunset, notably excluded Sandoval from a promotional post for the series, sending ripples through social media.
Other cast members, like Dolores Cantania, have offered more measured responses, praising Sandoval’s "pretty awesome" personality while avoiding direct commentary on his past actions.
As for the rest of the Traitors cast, a diverse mix of reality veterans and newcomers will join Sandoval. This includes fan favorites like Survivor stars Cirie Fields and Tony Vlachos, Drag Race winner Bob the Drag Queen, and The Bakelorette‘s host, Wells Adams.
Will Sandoval be able to rise above the drama and forge meaningful connections with his fellow castmates while also outwitting them? Only time will tell.
What’s in Store for Season 3?
Beyond Sandoval’s storyline, The Traitors season 3 promises the same heart-pounding twists and betrayals viewers have come to expect.
The promise of a $250,000 prize is certainly enough to motivate these contestants to play hard, but who will ultimately emerge victorious?
Don’t miss the premiere of The Traitors season 3 on Peacock! Set your reminders for January 9, 2025, and prepare to watch as this explosive cast navigates a game of deception, alliances, and betrayal.
