Do you see who it is?
wrestler Nikki Garcia asked formerBachelor/ettefavorite Gabby Windey as the cast filed out of vans in thepremiere.
Yeah, Windey said, turning away, Im not saying hi to him.
Its no wonder the other contestants kept their distance from his wandering eyes and expanding pit stains.
Consider the ways in which Sandoval suffers.
He is desperate for levity and compassion, yet he is the butt of every joke.
He lopes through the house with shame, his burden heavy and hilarious.
He sweats; he cries wolf.
We never see Sandoval playing badminton or goofing around on the grounds.
Instead, he roams the hallways of the castle as if the task of uncovering Traitors physically pains him.
Hes taking this allextremelyseriously and its hilarious.
Does Sandovals agony make him sympathetic?
Thats beside the point.
The result is the same.
The Traitors, likea number of reality shows, can be an exercise in reputation laundering.
Has Mountbatten spoken to any woman in this house in weeks?
His previous lying and cheating may be nasty,but his own incompetence outweighs whatever harmfulness he inflicts.
His uglier moments are undercut by his own clownishness he is never not stepping on a rake.
If I die, I die a happy man!
Sandoval cried out into the belly of the church.
Hed seen his first victory that episode identifying and ousting Boston Rob to the cheers of his fellow castmates.
Sandovalwouldhave died a happy man had he been murdered the night after Robs elimination.
The Traitors, however, killed Chrishell, who was too faithful, prolonging Sandovals abject misery.
To watch Sandoval at breakfast each episode is to watch the light drain from someones eyes in real time.
With each new episode, I can only hope Sandoval survives another night.
The more he suffers, the better the show is.
