Rob Cesternino Details Early Exit From The Traitors, Frustration Over New Twist

The Survivor alum says he asked to play as a Faithful to avoid assumptions about his gameplay.

Overview

  • Cesternino recounts feeling blindsided after believing he had built trust with a fellow cast member who influenced his fate.
  • He points to the season’s concealed saboteur twist as concentrating elimination decisions and speeding early departures.
  • He says he requested the Faithful role from host Alan Cumming to play openly rather than carry the burden of secrecy.
  • He recalls suspecting Dorinda Medley and Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho while not targeting Tiffany Mitchell, Ian Terry, or Natalie Anderson.
  • He notes producers shifted Traitor roles toward well-known reality personalities, which altered strategy perceptions, and he reminds viewers that new episodes debut Thursdays on Peacock.
