Multiple feuds came to a head at The Traitors season 3 reunion — but was every falling out resolved by the end?
The Thursday, March 6, special was released immediately after viewers saw Dylan Efron, Gabby Windey, Dolores Catania and Ivar Mountbatten walk away as the winners. Despite the major success, there were still issues — and past tension — that had to be addressed when the rest of the contestants joined them at the reunion, which was hosted by Bravo’s Andy Cohen.
The biggest divides addressed at the reunion included the tension between Britney Haynes and Danielle Reyes that went back to their time on Big Brother — in addition to Danielle’s separate feud with Carolyn Wiger. There was also time for Boston Rob Mariano to take credit for the chaos that ensued once he introduced Traitor-on-Traitor infighting before Bob the Drag Queen defended his surprising choices for elimination throughout the season.
Every cast member made an appearance at the reunion including Dorinda Medley, Wells Adams, Chanel Ayan, Tony Vlachos, Jeremy Collins, Robyn Dixon, Nikki Garcia, Bob Harper, Wes Bergmann, Derrick Levasseur, Chrishell Stause, Ciara Miller, Sam Asghari and Tom Sandoval.

Carolyn vs. Danielle

Just like in the turret, Carolyn and Danielle weren’t exactly on the same page while rehashing their drama. Danielle called her Traitors partnership with Carolyn an “an organized chaos” that allowed them to “get things done” while Carolyn started crying about how it all went south.
“I thought it was going well,” Carolyn said before getting emotional. “No I don’t [think she respected me]. I don’t want to cry.”
Danielle stepped in to clarify her side of the story, adding, “I think we had a communication issue. But I was impressed with her game and I know you are smart. What you did in the game was clever and I know you were being genuine but it did help you in the game. I do respect Carolyn. You keep saying people don’t listen to you but they do.”
Earlier in the special, Carolyn admitted she struggled with the reaction to her approach.
“It does hurt. The side eyes or people rolling their eyes,” she explained. “I get that I am not for everyone and that is OK but I can’t lie and act like it doesn’t hurt.”
Secret Crushes Between the Most Unexpected Players
While arguing about how she was treated, Carolyn claimed she wouldn’t have made a good Faithful because she would have been seen as an outcast similar to Sandoval. (The Vanderpump Rules alum was largely playing on his own in the beginning after previously making headlines for his cheating scandal with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss.)
Sam, who was still offstage, revealed to Sandoval that Carolyn told him she had a crush on the Bravo star.
Later in the reunion, Ciara brought up clips of a younger Boston Rob, saying, “I was like ‘Oh my God, I had no idea you were hot.’ I was very impressed.”

The Boston Rob Effect
Season 3 erupted into chaos after Boston Rob came for Bob the Drag Queen — even though they were both Traitors. Boston Rob ultimately found himself in the hot seat for his decision and his loyalty to the other Traitors was questioned.
“I don’t know whether I would split the money [with Carolyn later] but I would have worked with her until I couldn’t for sure,” he admitted. “I had nothing. I was going to the end [alone].”
Boston Rob acknowledged that his approach “led to a chain reaction” before joking that he would take Andy Cohen out first if he joined in on the Traitors fun. After Boston Rob was asked about his friendship with Dylan, the Survivor alum admitted their bond wouldn’t have mattered down the line.
“My people are my people and I will take you far,” he said. “I was going to stab Dylan in the end. And I was going to take him to the end.”
Luckily Dylan wasn’t offended considering he watched Boston Rob’s strategy on Deal or No Deal Island as he was on the plane to Scotland to film The Traitors.
“He always takes a rookie to the end who is naive enough to trust him and then he murders him,” Dylan noted before pointing out that they “weren’t at the end yet” when he was still working with Boston Rob on the show.
Danielle’s Controversial Approach to the Game
One thing was obvious by the end of the reunion and that is that Danielle knew she was over the top — and she didn’t care.
“I couldn’t be myself so I was chaotic. I was messy because I started coming after my sister causing more mess in the turret,” Danielle said about her reasoning. “That [prize] money wasn’t life changing but it would have made a big impact on my family. I was there for the money.”
Danielle vs. Britney
The finale showed Britney turning on Danielle (again) but have they figured out their issues? In short, no.
As soon as Britney joined the group, she admitted that she was expecting Danielle to turn on her if their roles were reversed. Danielle, however, didn’t see it that way and claimed they “had a relationship before Big Brother Reindeer Games” because they “spent a long time together.”
Britney interjected because she felt Danielle was telling a false narrative. “I spent three cumulative hours with you. But you keep saying that and it makes me look bad and I have to act like we were friends for years,” Britney fired back. “But it was honestly heartbreaking for me [the way the season ended]. It’s not the outcome that I wanted. … I was genuinely heartbroken.”
Ultimately Danielle clarified that there was no bad blood between them — but there was also no trust. Danielle also once again denied the rumor she told Britney she was a Traitor when cameras weren’t rolling.
Euan Cherry/PEACOCK It isn’t just Traitors viewers who are conflicted about Danielle Reyes‘ approach to the game — her season 3 costars are just as confused. The latest installment of Peacock’s hit series got off to a strong start when Danielle, Bob the Drag Queen and Carolyn Wiger were chosen as Traitors, causing chaos behind […]
Nikki vs. Chrishell
The Bambis didn’t all make it to the end but the reunion offered Chrishell a chance to apologize to Nikki for causing her banishment.
“That is my biggest regret in the entire game and I think it really shook my confidence. I didn’t speak because I was so afraid to make another mistake like that,” Chrishell told Nikki before offering for the former WWE star to “bodyslam” her in the ring as payback.

While Dylan’s brother didn’t make an appearance at the reunion, Dylan said that Zac suggested Bob the Drag Queen watch Baywatch to get a better sense of his phenomenal acting skills.
Bob the Drag Queen vs. the Housewives
Dorinda and Chanel both came for Bob the Drag Queen after blaming him for their respective exits.
“I was very sad that I got murdered but the whole thing [you said after] that I was mad, I can promise you I didn’t think about it. There’s nothing to be mad about. I was very sad,” Dorinda said before revealing that she called Andy after being dismissed so early. “I liked you and I really wanted to get to know you. So this negativity after the fact was really unfortunate.”
Bob the Drag Queen, however, didn’t see it that way, adding, “I don’t know any of these people. You’re the only one taking that personally. Are you capable of not talking while I am talking?” Andy used the opportunity to remind Bob the Drag Queen that Dorinda doesn’t “like to be on pause.”
As for Ayan? She accused Bob the Drag Queen of being jealous, which he didn’t agree with.
Derrick vs. Ciara
Despite accusing Ciara of being a Traitor because she cursed too much, the duo were on great terms now.
“We’ve talked several times and it’s been proven that the more you curse the more truthful you are,” Ciara said while Derrick admitted he probably swore even more than Ciara.
Bob Harper vs. Boston Rob and Dylan
At the end of the reunion, the players poked fun at Boston Rob and Dylan’s friendship. Bob Harper specifically called out how Boston Rob had Dylan “in his pocket” before bringing up their “love affair” since filming wrapped.
“You didn’t come pick me up at the airport yesterday,” Bob Harper joked. “I am a little jealous. I am right here, Dylan!”
