"Princess of the castle"— The Traitors US fans react to Chrishell "whacking" Tom Sandoval

The Traitors US season 3 aired episodes 1 to 3 on Thursday, January 9, 2025, on Peacock. The murder mystery reality series featured a star-studded lineup including Vanderpump Rules' Tom Sandoval and Selling Sunset's Chrishell Stause.

Tom Sandoval, who cheated on Ariana Madix with their friend Raquel Levis, came face-to-face with his ex-girlfriend's friend, Chrishell, while on the show. The two clashed during the roundtable where the female cast member claimed that Sandoval gave her the "Spock eyebrow" when they took their masks off during episode 1.

Fans of the reality show commented on the contestant's clash and praised Chrishell for confronting Tom. One person wrote on X:

"chrishell whacking tom ohhh princess of the castle."

"Chrishell’s speech about why she voted for Sandoval. KEEP YOUR FOOT ON HIS NECK!!!!" a fan commented.

"Chrishell should’ve been a lawyer.. she even convinced me Tom was a Traitor," a tweet read.

Some fans of The Traitors US called Chrishell a "basic b*tch" for going after Tom Sandoval:

"Chrishell telling Tom he makes her uncomfortable then burning a vote on him for personal reasons. Dumb basic b*tch activated," a person wrote.

"Chrishell is so dumb to make this about Scandoval…that don’t have anything to do with anything! She brought it up like three times in two episodes. I KNEW someone would try to use Tom’s past as rationale for considering him a Traitor even tho it’s irrelevant," a fan commented.

"Not Chrishell saying Sandoval is after her because she’s friends with Ariana," a tweet read.

Fans of The Traitors US season 3 further said:

"CHRISHELL CHEWED THE F*CK OUT OF SANDOVAL. NGL SANDOVAL IS GONNA BE SUCH A BAD FAITHFUL. AND ALSO AN ANNOYING ONE TOO. CAUSE NGL..... NONE OF THESE FEMALES ARE GONNA HAVE YOUR BACK IN THIS GAME," a person wrote.

"CHRISHELL VS SANDOVAL BEEF I PRAYED FOR TIMES LIKE THIS," a fan commented.

"I am friends with your ex"— Chrishell Stause and Tom Sandoval clash at the roundtable during The Traitors US season 3

In The Traitors US season 3, Dylan Efron told Chrishell Stause that Tom Sandoval mentioned her to him. The Selling Sunset star wondered if it was because he knew she was friends with his ex, Ariana.

"That is sabotage," she said.

The Traitors US season 3 star questioned Tom's gameplay in a confessional and wondered who played like that. She said he was "already throwing" her name out there and said she knew he was biased against her and that she also already had an opinion about him knowing what he did to her friend.

Later in the episode, at the roundtable, Tom Sandoval questioned Chrishell and said she was "acting very strange" to him and Jeremy. She asked if she could respond if he was finished talking and said that she told him before they "ever hit" the round table that they had a personal connection.

"I am friends with your ex," she said.

Tom said that everyone was close with his friends. Chrishell asked him not to interrupt and added that they had a "cool" conversation about not making things awkward. She mentioned that when they took their masks off, Tom Sandoval gave her the "Spock eyebrow" with the spotlight on his face, which made The Traitors US season 3 contestant "uncomfortable."

She said that he started throwing her name around "recklessly" and Tom replied that he was trying to do the best he could by asking questions.

"A lot of times, the traitors' job is to create chaos and the person that threw out the most names and caused the most chaos was you, Tom," Chrishell said.

Fans of the Peacock reality show commented on the argument online and were divided by Chrishell vs. Tom Sandoval.
