With his keen eye for spotting Traitors and his confidence in going after them at the roundtable,The Traitors’Dylan Efronhas emerged as season 3’sPeter Weber.

Survivor’sParvati Shallow— who competed on season 2 of the Peacock competition show alongside Weber, 33 — agrees with the comparison.

“Dylan is the Peter of the season, and he is less on his high horse,” Shallow, 42, tells PEOPLE. “Dylan seems more able to sit back and allow the bigger names to go at it and bide his time for the right moment to strike. It seems like he really gets it as far as, ‘Okay, we need numbers in order to banish a big presence or to take a big swing.’ Peter didn’t really get that.”

Efron, 32, pioneered going after TraitorBob the Drag Queen, and once Traitor BostonRob Marianodecided to banish one of his own, they successful ousted theRuPaul’s Drag Racestar, 38, earlier in the season. “I think Dylan has taken a note from Peter’s book and then evolved it into just a little more advanced game play,” Shallow says.

“She is someone to watch,” Shallow says of Catania, 54. “She has a little thing going with Dylan, and I like those two together. I feel like they can be very smart players.”

Shallow, whose memoirNice Girls Don’t Wincomes out in July, also sees TraitorCarolyn Wigeras a player “up at the top.”

“She’s being overlooked,” theDeal or No Deal Islandcontestant says. “I think she’s used to it, which is so sad. But also I think in a game likeTraitors, being overlooked is helpful, especially if you’re a Traitor because she could make it all the way to the end and then win the whole thing.”

At the end of the Jan. 23 episode, Wiger, 38, caught wind from Efron that her fellow TraitorDanielle Reyesplanned to come after her.

“I thought it was ridiculous,” Wiger tells PEOPLE. “I thought, we may not be getting along in the turret, but I thought we were together. I was really loyal to her. That was the person I was working with. Come on, girl!”

Reyes’s decision came out of self-preservation after Mariano’s controversial move, as she hoped to eliminate Wiger and replace her with a new Traitor.

“He did the best that he could,” Wiger says of Mariano, 49. “I look at it like do I think it was early? Yeah, it was, but at the same time it’s like that’s Boston Rob. Boston Rob historically is like, ‘You come for me, I go for you.’ Boston Rob was trying to keep the Traitors together.”
