If you’re sick of seeing your favorite Real Housewives getting targeted on The Traitors, you’re not alone. Robyn Dixon feels the exact same way. In a room full of competitive reality TV gamers, why is everyone going after the Housewives?
The Real Housewives of Potomac alum became the fourth player murdered in Season 3, leaving Dolores Catania as the last Housewife standing. At this point, three of the four murders have been Housewives, and Robyn thinks that strategy is getting old.
Robyn Dixon still doesn’t understand the anti-Housewives agenda
Robyn spoke to Bravo’s The Daily Dish in an exit interview after Season 3, Episode 5 of The Traitors. Although the tides quickly turned against the Housewives, she said she didn’t expect it at the beginning. She thought everyone would come in on an even playing field.
“It was a total shock to me,” Robyn admitted. “When I went there, I guess I’m just there being naive and [thinking] we’re just going to come in and play this game and have a good experience.”
She continued, “I was not expecting to have the target on our backs like we did. But once that started happening, I was like, ‘OK, I see what’s happening here.’”
While Robyn could see what was happening, she didn’t understand it. From a gameplay perspective, taking out the Housewives didn’t make a lot of sense to her. She said even her own murder felt “underwhelming” to watch.
“I kind of took it as a compliment,” Robyn said. “They clearly are putting us on a different level than what they are, or something. Because you all have the numbers, as well, so why are we just focusing on the Housewives?”
Fortunately, Dolores did win a shield in the last episode. We know she’ll survive at least one more night, but the odds are not in her favor. However, Robyn said she’s remaining hopeful that Dolores will benefit from the Traitors’ infighting in the turret.
“I know that Carolyn [Wiger] was not on board with murdering Housewives, so hopefully she speaks up a little bit more and stops them from doing that,” Robyn said.
“Hopefully, they realize, ‘OK, we’re lame, and let’s not be so lame and murder the fourth Housewife.’ I just hope that they’re over it. And so maybe, Dolores actually has a chance, because their lame strategy is getting old.”
It’s getting old, and we’re getting bored. They’ve robbed us of seeing Dorinda Medley drag someone at the roundtable. They killed Chanel Ayan before we could see all of her looks. They’ve got to protect Dolores at all costs.
The Traitors is streaming on Peacock.
