[Spoiler] Cried Their ‘Eyes Out’ After Being Murdered 1st on ‘Traitors’

Murder is afoot in Scotland once again, and your favorite reality stars are falling victim to the newest batch of traitors.

The Traitors, the Peacock reality hit, began its third season on Thursday, January 9, and Dorinda Medley from The Real Housewives of New York City was the first casualty.

Ousted in the second episode by traitors Danielle Reyes, Carolyn Wiger and Bob the Drag Queen, Medley, 60, was devastated to leave the castle so early.

“I cried my eyes out,” she told Decider in an interview published Friday, January 10. “When I saw that envelope, it was so unexpected. First of all, I think I should have been a traitor. But it was so devastating because unlike the Housewives, where you can sort of go on and you’re in control of what you say, how you say it, what you’re doing…this, you just have no control over.”

The traitors decided to target the Housewives on the cast early, hoping to turn them against each other and cause chaos among the faithfuls.

“I just think they realized that the Housewives are strong characters. We’re opinionated, and we’re strong,” Medley added. “I think people especially think of me as a strong woman who’s been through a lot of stuff and doesn’t take a lot of bulls–t.”

While others might assume the Housewives wouldn’t match up with the former Survivor and Big Brother players who have already excelled on competitive reality shows, Medley said she did her best to be ready to play. She even admitted to preparing “too much.”

“I read The Art of War twice, I read every philosopher. I wrote in my journal. I planned my outfits to a T. My outfits were off the charts,” she said. “But I just think it all falls to the wayside once you’re there. You don’t know what to expect. That’s the problem. So you have to just sort of go with the flow.”

Though Medley’s time on The Traitors was short-lived, other housewives have gone deeper into the game. Shereé Whitfield made it to the finale of season 2, while Phaedra Parks was marked a traitor immediately and lasted until the penultimate episode.

As for a potential season 4, Medley has her own pick for who she wants to see in Andross castle.

“I think Luann [de Lesseps] would be great,” she said. “I think Ramona [Singer] would be amazing. Because Ramona’s very, very good at looking at things. She’s like a producer. I think they’d be the best.”

New episodes of The Traitors stream Thursday nights at 9 p.m. ET on Peacock.
