Lisa Rinna was not pleased to hear her name mentioned at the latest The Traitors roundtable.
This post has spoilers for the latest episode of The Traitors season 4.
During the Thursday, January 22, episode of the Peacock competition, Rinna, 63, was floored after her fellow Traitor Rob Rausch wrote her name down during the cast’s roundtable discussion about the next banishments.
“What you didn’t see last night, which is really funny and I think that they should do a blooper reel,” Rinna began in a video shared via her Instagram Stories on Friday, January 23. “After Rob R. writes my name down, I go out into the foyer with him and I spank him.”
She continued, “He gets a good, old-fashioned spanking from guess who? Yep, I get some kind of a fly swat-thing, like, a fly swatter-y thing, and I spank him hard. He deserved every spank of it — and of course he loves it.”
During Thursday’s episode, Rausch, 27, wasn’t the only competitor to question Rinna’s place in the Scottish castle. Eric Nam and Natalie Anderson also scribbled the Real Housewife of Beverly Hills alum’s name on their respective chalkboards at the roundtable discussion.
“[Eric and Natalie] were going after Colton [Underwood] but switched their vote,” Rinna recalled on Friday. “I made both of them sit in the corner, face the wall and sit in time-out. They’re very bad and I punished both of them, and they both did it.”
According to Rinna, Nam, 37, and Anderson, 39, “sat there” and accepted their perceived punishment.
“I made them turn their chairs around,” she continued. “It was hilarious, and I think [Peacock] needs to show it. It’s very funny.”
Rinna and Rausch, who was best known for his stint on Love Island USA season 6, were tapped as Traitors alongside Candiace Dillard-Bassett. In the campy murder-mystery game, host Alan Cumming enlists a trio of “Traitors” to carry out fake murders amongst the rest of the competitors without getting discovered.
While deciding on their nefarious deeds, Rinna formed a friendship with Rausch.
“He’s super smart,” Rinna gushed of Rausch in a Thursday TikTok video, detailing her fellow Traitor’s strategy in the game. “What I’m realizing is, he’s so good-looking that people are too afraid to look at him for very long … [but] he’s totally smart. He’s playing the game, like, unbelievably, right? He’s so good-looking that nobody suspects him because they can’t clock him for very long because it’s too uncomfortable because he’s so gorgeous.”
As for Rinna, she believes that she was immune from getting tongue-tied around Rausch.
“I’m used to it. I mean, Harry Hamlin [was People’s] Sexiest Man Alive [in 1987]. I’m married to that,” Rinna quipped in a follow-up TikTok video, referring to her husband. “I’m used to that kind of hotness, so it doesn’t affect me so much.”
She continued, “I can handle it because I’m used to it. I’m able to look right at him, talk to him, not get shaken by him because I’m surrounded by hotness [at home].”
New episodes of The Traitors air on Peacock Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.
