Vulture referred to himas receiving a sad clown edit.
But the thing is …he was also really funny.
Good-bye, Faithful Tom, well miss ya this time.
Id watched the previous two seasons of the U.S.Traitorsand I loved the show.
I wanted to be a team player.
I definitely did not want to be a Traitor at all.
I wouldnt have been able to enjoy myself.
You would have gone home?I would rather be a sincere straight shooter and have more fun.
When youre a Traitor, its isolating.
I wanted to have camaraderie and work with a bigger group versus four people.
I didnt want to have to sit there and lie and be manipulative.
I wanted to wear my heart on my sleeve.
We hit it off.
Going to the castle, I obviously knew people would have some preconceived thoughts about me.
I was like Thats great!
A lot of my really good friends follow her on Instagram.
It felt like she was trying to ride the coattails of the scandal.
It might have affected the way they spoke or treated me.
But for the most part, a lot of people were really cool and very open and accepting.
What made you think she was a Traitor?She didnt seem to care about getting shields at all.
She never seemed to be worried about getting murdered at night.
There were a couple times going into the roundtable where she just said, Who we voting for?
She didnt ever put herself out there or go after anybody.
She kept saying theres this housewife conspiracy!
How did that feel?The funny thing is that was what I initially said about Tony.
She used what I said against me.
I was kind of instrumental to Tony being banished.
I told Bob Harper this, and he was pissed and called out Tony.
Then I told Tony, Look, man, youre going around lying, playing two sides of people.
If youre a Faithful, then youre a bad Faithful.
You were really excited after Boston Rob was banished because you felt respected for the first time.
What was that like?Boston Rob is one of the best gamers in history.
We were both loners.
Carolyn even stuck up for me at the roundtable when I was going after Rob.
She was like, You guys need to listen to Tom.
Nobody ever listens to him.
I really appreciated that.
Why do you think they didnt listen to you?I dont know.
I know Dylan was dead set against Rob being a Traitor, and there were other people as well.
It didnt fit their narrative at the time?Yeah.
They definitely showed mine a lot more than others.
I thought it was funny.
Whether people are laughing with me or at me, I was just excited to bring laughter to people.
It felt like you were excited to have redemption after the past season ofVanderpump.
I pulled my weight.
I wanted that camaraderie of all of us of working together with a big group.
Did you feel like you got that?Yes, I do.
Look, people love to give me shit about it, but I was just trying.
I was so excited about the game.
Have you felt a different response from the audience from your time onThe Traitors?Yeah.
Its been nice to see people rooting for me.
People have described you as having a sad clown edit.
Do you enjoy watching yourself in that way?I love it.
I think its so funny.
It was lost in Scotland?I got back one suitcase one day, another suitcase another day.
I didnt have a lot of my stuff with me.
That thing was so thick.
It was warm in the breakfast room, and I wasnt feeling good.
And so, it was hot.
Dylan took his sweater off, too.
I mean, they didnt show it, but he was literally wearing a tank top at breakfast.
I thought we were cool.
It was hot in there.
Im there to play a game.
It was pretty relentless.
I was like,Whoa, this girl obviously has an agenda.And it showed.
A lot of what I said had to do with me feeling like I had respect from the production.
Not just the players, but the production.
