The Traitors: Tom Sandoval Explains 'Cheaters' Slip-Up, Pit Stains and More! (Exclusive)

0:00 hi Tom hi Bryce how you doing I'm doing well and you're doing well you have made it farther on Traders than I think most people expected did you expect to make it this far I did not actually I I made it a lot further than uh than I definitely expected guys I'd like to say something I'd like to say [Music] something I think he needs to drink some water you've gifted us with many a meme so far this season your facial expressions are very intense what's been the experience of watching yourself in this format you're used to watching your life not a game of your life yeah um it's it's a lot different than obviously Vander pump rules it's a you know

0:46 competition show um it's a game so uh I I don't know I I like I like games I take games very seriously very seriously I would say you've played an intense game yes some instinct spot on yeah many far from The Mark what you said it yourself you're like I have a lot of theories No One Believes Me So you're great for the Traders but I have good evidence so I feel like sometimes when you look back at all the theories you had which one do you go why was I thinking that um yeah I mean it's you know obviously watching the show and you know knowing from the Geto who the Traders are it it makes any sort of Theory look sort of dumb like you

1:32 know going into it but um yeah I mean everybody I guess everybody sort of had their theories and you know you can see it when you when you watch the after shows it's like everybody had their theories um I think they really liked showing mine though they really like showing ours when I came at her table she got very offensive it's like too sauce why were you so hellbent on Dolores because as a viewer she has shown no signs that she's a traitor at all I know um it was funny CU I me me and Dolores hit off like right away um and as we were going on there were all these little things um obviously they can't show everything but she would say things after the fact like Bob the drag queen did tell me that yesterday he didn't believe in God and then like

2:17 before that it was uh you know that ion had said Bob the drag queen was a traitor and that's why she got or uh she got murdered and then um okay so there were breadcrumbs that were missing as you were and one night before before we you know went to bed she was like I think you might get murdered tonight Tom I think you're I think you're TI and I was like uhoh I'm like are you feel threatening yeah well you came in with a little bit of a Target on your back just given your persona and the bambies were the most vocally anti- Tom wow that look amazing oh my gosh do you see who it is yeah hi I'm not saying hi to him I know how much of that were you anticipating or expecting coming in I I didn't know what to expect I mean I just went there to play a game and I remember when we

3:03 first went to the castle I actually rode with crelle and we were talking and you know just all excited you know to get there to the castle and um she told me she was like yeah you know I do actually follow Ariana and I was like yeah so do uh so do a couple million other people and I was like that's awesome I was like I even told her I was like my best friend follows Ariana and uh I just yeah I I just I went there to play a game and I know I mean obviously some people went there to have a storyline or whatever but uh but yeah I was just there to have fun you come across in the game play as a little bit of a lone wolf did you bond with anybody in particular in the house oh yeah definitely um definitely Dylan and as well as Carolyn and Bob H yeah I

3:49 mean Dolores as well yeah until I until I thought she was a traitor well she she hit you right back so it's okay and it seems like Gabby came around eventually like all have to work together okay Gabby was great she's been the two of you are kind of the breakout stars of this season for very different reasons this has been such a reintroduction of you to a lot of people or an introduction for the first time I love there's the guy on Tik Tok who like fell in love with you call Tomy who now you've hung out with Jacob Jacob's awesome shout out to Jacob what's up man what's it been like to get that response knowing the last couple years it's it's been really awesome it's been really cool like just seeing how everybody gets into the show and and just seeing a different side of me

4:36 whether that's good or bad or laughable I don't know um but it's just it's been cool and interesting and definitely a change of [Music] pace you've had quite a few viral moments in the breakfast room at the round table saying women better cheaters than men no girls are better cheaters than guys just because they have better social W that came out your mouth oh my God I said Che I said traitors I said traitor sorry you said was that a like the most Freudian slip of all time oh no it wasn't it was just sleep deprivation like I was sitting there just like that cuz that that that challenge that mission was so uh so taxing mentally and

5:21 it was really hard to get sleep um and you know we're all just running on coffee like at that point and I just I just I didn't even know that I said that I just was like I meant to say trayers oh then a lot of attention has been paid to your pit stains in the breakfast room why why were you sweating so much and what was supposedly very cold Scotland oh well I mean that's the thing it's like when you go to New York and you walk in somewhere it's like 76 degrees and you're just sweating um it was really hot especially in that room like some rooms were were colder than others but that room was really hot especially with 23 people in there and actually Dylan took his sweater off too

6:08 um he was sitting there with his white tank top on and uh just like I mean it was so hot in there okay and we're there we're also there like before we get to breakfast like we do Social Media stuff we sit down interview all photos and stuff that they take of you that you get to post from up the episode Done then then your confessionals for what happened the day before is so you're working up until you get to breakfast yeah like a good 2 hours this show is like there's so many parts of it you got to film all those little silly interstitials of Faking going to sleep in the castle all that with my rubber ducky uh yeah and then the nursery rhyme challenge yes for [Music]

6:53 Castle terrible singer did you go a little too hard were you taking it a little too serious I I I was taking it very seriously very very seriously so serious to the point where I had to keep my hand on my ear to not be distracted from what I just heard it was like I did well it's funny like I just felt like okay obviously doing this doing this challenge doing this Mission you're going to look like an idiot and I felt like everybody just was like um I'm not doing that I'm not going to look stupid doing that okay so you were just committed I was like I'll I'll I'll do it I'll I'll I'll jump on the grenade we're headed into the last couple weeks of this season what is your reaction to Danielle being the last OG Trader

7:39 standing ah I'm surprised I'm really surprised now watching it back um I think it's it's weird again like how you know knowing who the Traders are from the get-go like you know watching it you're like how did nobody really pick up on Danielle you know yeah why was no one picking up on her her because as a viewer obviously like you said we have the knowledge of well she is one her movements are erratic I would be like what is this woman doing yeah I didn't pick up on it until like right towards the end okay yeah what do you make of her potentially recruiting Britney and making her a smart move or dumb move um I think uh you know if she does that cuz I I'm you know not going to say anything

8:26 um that that seems like a pretty obvious move yeah yeah you I believe are about to film reunion for this yes we are how are you feeling about being in a reunion setting and is there anything that you particularly want to get cleared up or tackled there um I don't have anything in particular that I really want to I just want to go there and have fun I mean I I think this is when I hear reunion it's a little triggering just in general so um I I don't think it's going to be what Vander pump rolls reunions are get in my face again I'll you up I'll up so quickly you're a worm with a mustache and I know it doesn't film nearly as long um so I'm excited about

9:14 that I'm just excited about that I'm going to go from there it has been almost 2 years since your world blew up yeah now knowing where life has landed for you how are you feeling about life these days um I'm just you know I'm optimistic I'm uh excited to just keep moving forward and doing things and and experiencing and uh you know I'm in a great relationship right now with Victoria and that's been so amazing and uh yeah yeah the kind of ultimate result of everything that transpired is Bravo decided to reboot Vander pump rules how are you feeling about that decision and do you have any words of wisdom for those kids who are about to take over

10:00 the mantle I would say that to just be honest be real be in the moment be authentic just be you you know what do you want to do next is there more reality TV in the in your future do you go over to the valley do you do a whole other show I'm I'm down I'm down for pretty much a lot of things but I think really just in life the answer always reveals itself okay yeah that's very teasy Tom would Victoria be open to reality TV um I'm not sure she's never really been into that I mean she's never even watched Vander pump rules or anything like she smart of yeah um yeah she actually she was like

10:45 oh uh this guy from Special Forces when she first met me um but yeah uh yeah I don't know maybe cross the bridges as they build themselves yes and of course it always depends on the situation too yeah well I was with Lisa right after the news came out and she was like well we'll refocus on TomTom she was very sad that the news hit the same week you two had to announce that Schwarz and sandies was closing which was just kind of a perfect storm of thing so are you maybe going to double down in TomTom could we see you pop up on the new Vander pump rules um I'm not sure I mean it's one of those things where you never know until it happens I mean with Vander pump rules it's always been sort of something that I mean even every time that we've filmed

11:31 a new season um it's it's something that kind of comes together at least on our side like really just weeks right weeks in advance all right so so we'll we'll wait and see have you got the gears going of who you would like to see on the next season of Traders is there anybody from the Bravo verse you would nominate ah I know Sheena really wants to be on it yes she said it she has traded in the Dancing with the Stars dream for the Traders um ah wow I think I think Lisa would would do well on it Vander pump yeah I think she would hate the experience but that would be so interesting it would she'd be like every round table just banish me just banish me kill me kill me like she would not want to be there yeah what's the deal

12:16 with are you still in the house over here or are you out of that uh we're working on getting that on the market actually really soon all right yeah it's been a process I was going to say that's been a process okay so 2025 a lot of Fresh Starts yes well congrat ulations on everything than you so hopefully you don't die in Scotland we'll see [Music]
