On the Jan. 9 premiere ofThe Traitorsseason 3,Chrishell Stausegrew suspicious ofTom Sandovaland felt that he was coming after her due to her friendship with his ex-girlfriendAriana Madix.
“Right when we first walked out, Tom mentioned you,”Dylan Efrontold Chrishell, 43. “It was like, five steps out of there.”
Chrishell thought she knew why he might’ve said that. “Do you think it’s because I’m friends with Ariana and he knows that?” theSelling Sunsetstar asked Dylan, 32, in front of a group that also includedNikki Garciaand TraitorDanielle Reyes, referring to his ex-girlfriendAriana Madix. “That’s sabotage!”
Nikki, 41, suspected that to be the case. “Probably,” she said to Chrishell. “That’s so not cool. Thatissabotage.”
Unsurprisingly, that did not sit well with Chrishell. “Tom is already throwing my name out. First of all, who plays like that?” she asked in a confessional interview. “Second of all, I know Tom has a bias against me because I am friends with his ex. Knowingwhat he did to Ariana, I have an opinion of him already. If the ship’s burning, he’s coming down with me.”

After that, the cast headed out on their first mission, which required them to paddle a rowboat around the loch and capture a maximum of $40,000 while leaving two contestants at each of the five pontoons along the way, which also left them vulnerable to be the first one murdered. The contestants who made it back to land received a shield and added the amount of money they picked up during the mission into the final prize pot.
Tom called Chrishell out at the roundtable for “acting very strange to me,” In return, Chrishell suspected Tom at the first banishment, saying that he “threw out the most names and caused the most chaos” and made her “uncomfortable.”

“I told you, before we ever hit the roundtable, a personal connection to you, that I am friends with your ex,” the Netflix star said. “We had a cool conversation. You were like, ‘Let’s not make that awkward.’ I was like, ‘Okay, good, I feel relived.’ I was so nervous about that.”
HostAlan CummingaddedThe Challenge’sWes BergmannandBig Brother’s Derrick Levasseur into the game as Faithfuls, too, and he declared all three newbies couldn’t vote in their first banishment, but were also immune from being the second person murdered.
