Preview Special: Sneak Peek Behind the Castle Gates

Welcome to the Traders Official Podcast. This is your weekly spoiler filled recap of the Trader Season 4. We are going to be breaking down all things deception, treacherous missions, wicked betrayals, and amazing looks featuring special guest interviews, hot takes, and our expert predictions. Where are your hosts? I'm Boston Rob. I am Bob the drag queen. In season three we were frenemies, you know, round table rivals. Look at what we can do when we work together. So see how long this lasts. Roll the tape. The only time I've ever been quiet when the big dog sit down, the little bits tried to stand up. Your traitor, look at who's hair. I'm not scared at all buddy. I will bury you under the sand. That was intense for sure. But now we're back. In this time we're sharing the mic instead of daggers. We're here to give you two completely different expert perspectives on the game. That's right. Rob is the gamer, right? One of the greatest strategic minds in the history of reality TV. I found out the hard way. And he's here to break down the gameplay, the moves, and the psychology. And Bob is the insider, the celebrity that knows how to read the room. He brings a perspective of someone that can navigate the chaos, the social dynamics, and the pure drama of the castle from a non-gamers point of view. Exactly. I am here for the mess, the reads, and to represent everyone watching at home was just trying to figure out who can I trust. And I'm here to analyze their every move like a poker game. Each week we're going to break down these distinct plays. Bring you the viewpoints because having played the game ourselves in season three, we know what's really at stake. Absolutely. Oh my god. Look at this. It's a lot of fire. That would be the fiery pits of hell. And we're going right into it. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. What's your name? How are you? Nice to see you. Nice to see you. Great to see you. Tiffany Mitchell is a big brother legend. Love your career amazing. I was on Love Island. What about you? I'm a figure scanner. Oh awesome. Yeah. You know her? Yeah, I know her. We are vesties. But we're trying to play it cool for this game. Oh my god. What's your name? How are you? Nice to see you. Great to see you. Tiffany Mitchell is a big brother legend. For this game. Oh my god. It's weird being here. You know, I'm just used to love Island. It's weird to be wearing clothes. I haven't made out with anybody yet. It's pretty crazy. Oh my god. Everybody come. Oh my god. Oh, it's garbage. Oh my god. Oh my god. Blaz behold. You're fatally. We have watched the new players arrive in the castle for the very first time. Let's talk about it. Listen, I took copious notes. You did? Yes, honey. I took copious notes. So as you pull up to the castle, you're driving to the Highlands of Scotland. You do form a bond with the people in your car with you. It's interesting. You say that. In all of these shows inadvertently, whoever you're grouped with in the beginning, you form a bond with them based on proximity. So maybe the technique is just get a little proximity to everyone. Like maybe you can't. I mean, there's over 20 people. You can't be close with 20 people. But can you be close with 15? 10. Can you be close with 10? Half of them? You know what I mean? If you get a majority, that's all you really need. I think it's time to break down these new players to Rindus back again. I'm glad to Rindus back because she was really salty that she didn't get a chance to play. Yeah, that diamond-latin hand is burst out of the gravy. She's ready to come back and fight for her life. I think Dorenda's biggest obstacle is going to be getting through week one. She might be made a trader. Do we put Dorenda back on traders and not make her a trader? Do we make her a faithful again? I'm sitting right now. If I would have been in that castle, and I'd have been like, it is nice to see you back. You are the first person going home. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Yeah. Also, I realize that Johnny and Tara LaPensky are being like, we're not going to tell him that we're friends. And I'm like, everyone's going to know. And I'm also wondering, I don't know much about figure skating, but whenever in the 90s, it gets pretty brutal. But let's see how this works out for them. I think I'd immediately call him like, you're lying. Now don't trust anything you say. Now you got to go. Who stood out for you right from the jump? Immediately Donna. She's Travis Kelsey's mom. For that reason alone, maybe you don't want to vote her out. I have four daughters. They would kill me if I voted off Taylor Swift's future mother in law. I'm going to tell you right now, if Blue Ivy was on the survivor, I would vote her out. No one is saying. Listen to me. I'm not saying that I wouldn't do it. But I'm just saying, my kids are going to be mad about it. That's valid. That's fair. Candice catches my eye right away. Something about her seems really adorable and sweet. She just seems, but also powerful and strong. I like her presence, her energy. She's someone that I would trust immediately. And to be fair, I would also trust Donna too. Donna and I think what I'm seeing in them that makes me not to me is like, they're the ones I would try to early on align myself with. And you have a personal relationship with Monet. Me Monet would be thickest thieves. Like we would, I mean, it'd be crazy because no one Allen's crazy ass. He'd make one of us a trade and one of us a faithful. From the competitive gamers, E and the super smart. And he's someone I could see doing well as a trader. Colton is, first of all, he looks like a big beat. He looks like Dylan Efron, eight Dylan Efron. That's what it feels like. That's how he feels like you see. This big giant Dylan Efron, like Dylan just went and did a bunch of reps and came back and was just sweet and adorable, but just gigantic. He's got a sweet face. He seems very trusting, you know? He fits in that category of the Dylan Efron, Pete the pilot, Colton. He's like the lovable. Like I don't really know. Like let's see what happens. Probably not going to be right a lot, but he's going to be convicted about it. That's the difference. Pete was actually right. Dylan was rarely right. I mean, you really wrecked that poor kid. He's a good kid. He's a good kid, but I mean, Dylan don't listen to him. Don't listen to him. He's going to do it to you again, Dylan. Don't. That's what's going to happen. Oh, Eric Numb. Yeah. I think he's charming. He's sweet. I would trust him implicitly. Like the sweet face Eric, like I would never. I would be like, if I found out Eric was a traitor, I would be like, this is crazy. But sometimes that acquired demeanor makes me fearful. So I would be wary of Eric. Kristen Kish is terrifying. She looks so powerful. She so puts together. And I'm sure right now, I don't know if you know anything. You ever worked in a restaurant? I have. No one will work into the kitchen is nice. I have no one. Is there ever been like, you know who's nice? The kitchen staff. I wouldn't trust her. What about Michael Rappaport? He's notorious for having a loud mouth being outspoken. Imagine trusting Michael Rappaport. I feel you. Michael Rappaport is someone I'd be like, I have all ripped. I would like, if we want to get anything done, mission one, get rid of Michael, then we're going to move on. Yeah. Mark Ballas. I would trust them. Yeah. You really much work with dancers or anything? Have I? Yeah, I'm Mr. Dancer. Twickle towels over here. My friend was on Dancer with the stars, it basically makes me a dancer. I'm touring with our dancers. Dancers are just trying to have fun and just be goofy. I would trust them for sure. Steven Coletti is giving me Mount Iver. Oh, oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah, Oh, it's from our shirt. But, Shia is the vision. I don't think he's like, you know, good. He's not intimidating. He's not intimidating, but he might be able to sneak all the way to the end. Mora, Mora in the accent. I thought I had an accent, right? No, this lady. Mora is bringing it to another level. Her accent really felt job, because she looks so like, she's like, oh, it's Italy's hard. And she's from Love Island, right? Yeah, I think so, yeah. But there's another love island guy, Rob. Rob. Who he's charming, too. He's got a real charm. I think he's not like this kind of quiet charm, like a straight guy who mumbles stuff. But he's like, oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Somebody said he was a snake catcher from Alabama. You know, I've caught a couple snakes. Is that it? Ha, ha, ha. It's not this kind of. I guess we're all in the same business, aren't we Rob? This is not that kind of podcast. We edit that out for everyone. Sesternino is a survivor guy. He never won the show, but back in season six, he was kind of like ahead of his time. This is kind of like his return to the arena. So I got high hopes for him. I hope he does well. Porsche, I don't know. Is she a housewife? She's a housewife of Atlanta. Atlanta. Yes, OK. I don't know. I don't know much about housewives. There are a few names that pop out. And she's one of the names that everyone knows. It feels like if you're a housewife, you're used to conflict. Yeah. And you're used to the drama. There are five housewives this season. There's also five gamers. Like if they could just get along. The gamers will never trust each other. The gamers that y'all have beef that goes back decades. The housewives, they might trust each other, but behind their backs, they won't, because they talk a lot of smack. So they're no different than the gamers. But the gamers, like, you are the reason I did not make a million dollars. The housewives, like, you're the reason why some white people make fun of the way I walk or make fun of my clothes. What always fascinates me is how well the people from a non-competitive game environment do on this show. Yeah, I got to say, it's hard to come from a non-strategy based show. It turns your brain into putty. You can never trust anyone. You never get a good nice rest, especially if you're a trader, because you work at the Greygarg Shift. And then you gotta work up and work the first shift, too. You know, it's really hard to say, who do you think is going to do well in this game at this point? Because there's so many people in anything could happen. But if I learned anything, traders is evolving. Yes. And Alan's probably gonna have something up his sleeve again this season. Alan's gonna do something. I'm expecting the unexpected. Yeah, for sure. He likes to watch us suffer. Anything to make us squirm makes him happy. This has been so much fun. Thank you for joining us.
