BostonRob Marianogot his chance to serve revenge onThe Traitors.

At the beginning of the Jan. 9 premiere, hostAlan Cumminggave the cast the chance to welcome Boston Rob, 49, into the game and eliminate someone else before the competition truly began. But no one took the opportunity, and it seemed like theSurvivorwinner wouldn’t get his chance to play.

But at the end of episode 1, Alan, 59, informed Boston Rob that he would, in fact, be entering the game — as a Traitor, joiningRuPaul’s Drag Race’sBob the Drag Queen,Big Brother’sDanielle Reyesand fellowSurvivorvetCarolyn Wiger.

“I’m gonna murder ‘em all,” Rob said to Alan. “I can’t wait.”

At the start of episode 2, Alan revealed that two other players would be entering the competition:The Challenge’sWes BergmannandBig Brother’s Derrick Levasseur. The three new additions were immune from being the second person murdered (Real Housewives of New York CityalumDorinda Medleywas the first) and they each entered with a shield to give out.

Alan introduced the three new players to the rest of the contestants at the start of their second mission, during which Derrick, 40, Rob and Wes, 40, hung from individual cages in the woods.

“I can’t stand that a–hole,” Carolyn, 38, said when she saw Wes. “I don’t want him in the game and now he’s here!”

Rob, Derrick and Wes, who he nicknamed The Cage Boys, also couldn’t vote in the first banishment, which sawBachelor in Paradise’sWells Adamsbecome the first one eliminated. Wes planned to give his shield to Wells, 40, before his banishment, but ended up giving itSurvivor’sJeremy Collinsin order to get theSurvivorcontingency on his side.

“I’m just kissing a–,” Wes said to the cameras.

Derek gave his toDylan Efronand he let Danielle know that he did so in order to get someone from outside of theBig Brotheralliance on their side.

With the shields distributed, the Traitors — now with the addition of Boston Rob — ultimately decided to killThe Real Housewives of Dubai’sChanel Ayan.

“When I say revenge is a dish best served cold, that goes for all of them,” he told the cameras. “Of course they’re going to be coming for me, so now anyone’s fair game.”

During the third mission, which required pairs of contestants to try to make it through a funhouse in a game that was part luck, part statistics, Rob found himself getting frustrated with his castmates.

“I can’t believe how unstrategic this entire group is,” he complained in a confessional interview.

While Wes and his partnerCiara Millermade it the furthest, ultimately no one got all the way through the funhouse and earned the shield at the end.

At the second roundtable meeting, Rob helped put the nail in Tony’s coffin for banishment when Dylan, 32, wanted to make a case for Bob the Drag Queen, 38.

“I’m thinking about my game plan first and foremost,” Rob said in a confessional interview. “Let me build some trust with people that I already know. So that when I slit their throat, they don’t see it coming. Vicious, I know.”
