Great. How are you?
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
I'm sad too. I had unfinished business.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
After that roundtable, I was thinking, I gave it some thought, and I instantly was like, okay, Boston Rob is a traitor. Just based on Drag Queen's response to him, he had such a visceral, angry reaction to him calling him a traitor. I just knew, I was like, okay, this is a different response than Dilling accusing Bob the Drag Queen of being a traitor.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
So I was convinced that Boston Rob was a traitor, and I was going to get him the next day.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
Well, I'm not the only one that was wrong on people. No, no, no, no. I know, I know, I know. There's a lot of people that are wrong.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
You know, I'm not the only one. I was just probably vocal because I'm just like, you know, I'm not here to just like be one of those people who just kind of sits here quiet and tries to sneak by. I just wanted to... I came there to make a television show and I just wanted to make a television show.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
And so for me, it wouldn't have felt right if I was sitting there just being quiet and not saying anything. And you've got to think about what it's like to be in our shoes. I've been a viewer. I love the show as a viewer. But when you already know who those three or four traitors are, you're just honing in on their behaviors where we're in a room with 20 other people who we really don't know.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
And so we're evaluating every little thing that they do. So we don't have the luxury of just paying attention to a handful of people. We are watching everyone. We're saying, okay, well, let me see if something weird is happening, if there's a shift in energy.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
I mean, I even, after Alan picked his traders, I thought Sierra was a trader because she went in the kitchen and grabbed a bowl of grapes and started eating them. And I was like, oh, she's trying to deflect. She She's eating. She's trying to just be distracted from the fact that she just got picked to be a traitor. So you're really looking at every little thing that people are doing.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
With Wells, it was like, I don't think they showed it, but like when we had our little conversation in the billiards room, he got up and walked out of the room. And I was like, oh, okay. Like he's in the hot seat and he wants to just avoid this conversation. So...
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
Absolutely. I mean, Danielle from the jump, and of course you all don't see everything, but every little thing that Danielle did was filled with some sort of emotion or like, you know, anxiety. Even at the roundtables, I remember that first roundtable when it was between me and Wells. And, you know, you look around as people are like making their picks or whatever. Like I made my pick early.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
It was Wells. Boom. I put my thing down. And so, you know, I'm looking around and Danielle's sitting there. She's just like deliberating. And she's like, oh, God.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
She's so stressed. She's just filled with angst over this decision that she had to make and this pick she had to make. And I saw that. And so for me, I'm like, she's not on my radar because she's totally just stressed over this pick. So it's like, you really... I made this mistake and probably a lot of people make the mistake is you put yourselves in the shoes of a traitor.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
You say, well, if I was a traitor, how would I act? And for me, if I was a traitor, I would be really low key. I wouldn't be bringing attention to myself. I wouldn't be going from person to person and talking so much like Drag Queen was doing. And so seeing Danielle be so just emotional and she would be kind of like a little bit all over the place and have a lot to say. she never was on my radar.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
So this game, I mean, I think you just never know. Like you just have to throw something at the wall and see what sticks at that point that early in the game.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
people were floating her name around.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
Yeah. So that's kind of... And they were aware of that. So I think... Actually... it was Nikki and Jeremy whose names were being floated around as traitors. So when they went in the caskets, a lot of our, you know, like antennas went off. We're like, wait a minute. We were just saying that we think Nikki and Jeremy are traitors. And we had seen Nikki and Jeremy kind of like talking on their own.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
And so it was just all these little like red flags were around Nikki and Jeremy.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
Right. So then the thought was when Jeremy was killed, we're like, well, then Nikki must be a traitor.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
It's a mess. Crazy. You know, I don't know what happens, but I felt like... First of all, I thought Boston Rob messed up by doing what he did to Drag Queen that early in the game. Because it creates... We can see it just creates a snowball effect of distrust amongst the traders. And so now... What Danielle did, that was just like insane. She should have known that it, maybe she did it on purpose.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
She should have known that Dylan was going to go back to Carolyn and tell her that she was floating her name about. I just, I thought that was not good strategy. She should have really laid low. It was, it was too early for them to start trying to frame each other way too early. So I'm curious to see like, where does this go?
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
Yeah, for sure. I felt like people came in just based and were trying to like recreate what happened the season before or trying to... They were just basing their biases based on what they saw the season before. And so they saw Phaedra be a traitor. They saw Sharae last a really long time in the house. And so I think they just assumed, oh... a housewife has to be a trader.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
And then on the flip side, the traders knew that that would be the thought process of everyone and it would be easy to frame the housewives. But what I loved about it was that this season is completely different than last season. you know, what we're seeing where we haven't seen anything really like it before.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
And I think that's what now people coming into the game in the future should, should keep in mind. Like, you know, you can't base anything that happens in your current season on what you saw the previous season because they got to keep it fresh, but they definitely had their eyes on the housewives. We had targets on our backs and they,
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
It was kind of unfair though, because they would say like, oh, you guys have, have numbers and all this stuff. And I'm like, yeah, but the gamers have numbers. Survivor has numbers. Like everyone else has numbers. Why are you worried about us?
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
You have Survivor, Big Brother, Challenge.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
I mean, so Tony, so think about it. Tony from Survivor, we banished him because he was a great Survivor player. And, you know, it's just certain things Tony would say around the house that were like... So so we were, you know, we took out Tony. They took out Jeremy. So we started to take out the gamers. But it just they were just stuck on this house.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
I think I but when I watched them murder me, I was like, OK, that was like anticlimactic. Yeah. It was just like, OK, let's just pick Robin. Like what? Like, can I get a reason?
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
No, that's not how it works. So we actually all wake up and get dressed as if we're going to breakfast. And because we do confessionals throughout the day, you can be asked to do a confessional before breakfast. That doesn't necessarily mean you were murdered. But if they ask you to do a confessional before breakfast... That's when you get murdered. So we are, like, we're ready for the day.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
I was ready to get Boston Rob. I was, like, ready to start.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
survivors of diseases of some kind or an ailment god bless her so although i didn't the only boss the only survivor i knew was boston rob i i knew that survivors was a television show okay
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
i wish there were clips of her being like a lyme disease yeah she's so funny i was so mad they murder her just because she's so funny like yeah no i don't know what they were thinking funny yeah oh i feel like producers could have stepped in there and been like no let's find someone else guys do you think we would have picked her as a traitor as a traitor that would be crazy i mean you know that would have been comedy it would have been like dorinda and ion if they were actual traitors yeah
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
It would have been comedy. But I was definitely like, can a producer step in and tell them to stop killing housewives? Like, come on. You need us on the show. You want good TV.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
I would love to see Erica Girardi. These are people like, we'll never do it. Why would Erica never do it? We can't have our phones. Erica Girardi, NeNe Leakes would be fun. NeNe would be so good. And... Let's put Ramona in there. Love. I think that would be pretty exciting.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
Well, because it was like so many people, it was, you know, in order, like, I didn't really have an agenda to push. Like for me, like say for, I had Wells and I had Tony just on my mind. They were like really the only ones, but I wasn't trying to like vote somebody out, you know, if, so because it was that early, it was like, Let's see what the rest of the group has to say.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
Let's see if they have anyone to put out there. And since people didn't really have a lot to put out there, it's like, okay, well, let's go for the ones that are in my head. So no, at that point, there was no strategizing with the roundtables. It's just so early, so many people. You just want to see what everyone else is thinking.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
Oh, thank you.
The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef

The Viall Files
E874 - Bachelor Premiere, Traitors w/ Robyn & Nikki, RHOSLC Reunion, Southern Charm & Nick’s Apple Beef
I mean, I have a lot of opinions. I believe it. A lot of opinions.
