A massive threat from the very start because of his cunning and cutthroat gameplay from his previous appearances in competition shows, Rob was denied entry by all the other contestants because of his reputation, but came back as a Traitor as the main twist of the season, alongside two other legendary contestants from their original shows, FaithfulsDerrick Levasseur and Wes Bergmann, who he formed an early alliance with. Upon the trio's late entry, suspicions immediately arose among everyone, but Rob quickly found an ally in Dylan Efron, and attempted to start connections with the other players from Survivor and the rest of the castle, which insulated him for a while. As the latest Traitor to come in the game, he decided to take the back seat as he allowed the other Traitors to take out their threats, but in turn sacrificed Tony Vlachos and Jeremy Collins reluctantly, who he knew and earlier played with at Winners at War. When his fellow Traitor Bob the Drag Queen turned rogue for explicitly saying that one of three late entrants could possibly contain a Traitor, Rob immediately turned the rest of the castle at the Round Table to eliminate the former, but this sowed distrust with the remaining Traitors in Danielle Reyes and Carolyn Wiger and turned Derrick and Wes against him. While he was able to eliminate any people who went against him, Derrick's murder prompted Tom Sandoval to convince everyone to finally take their shots at Rob, which succeeded as he became the second Traitor to be banished in the season.
