Candiace Dillard Bassett on 'Traitors' Exit and Rob's Shocking Betrayal
from The Parting Shot with H. Alan Scott
The Real Housewives of Potomac’s Candiace Dillard Bassett came to play when she walked into the The Traitors castle. After her shocking banishment, she quickly became a fan favorite. The reality star, who has dedicated “almost my entire third decade of life to reality television,” found herself at the center of controversy after voting for fellow traitor Robert Rausch, a move that many believe put a target on her back. However, Candiace stands firm in her decision, calling it “a very strategic move that I do not regret.” She explains that after watching Rob betray Lisa Rinna, another traitor, despite promising he wouldn't, she had no choice but to act. “If you are standing next to someone who has said to you, 'I'm sorry, I won't do this again,' and then they go do it again with glee in their heart, what else are you to think? You're coming for me next.” Despite her exit, Candiace isn't done playing the game, reminding fans, “I'm still a traitor, okay?” Subscribe to my newsletter: https://for-the-culture.beehiiv.com Follow me: https://linktr.ee/halanscott See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
