Summary

In this episode, I sat down with Candiace Dillard Bassett fresh off her incredible run on The Traitors, where she proved herself to be one of the most strategic players of the season. We dove deep into her experience playing a traitor alongside Lisa Rinna, the shocking betrayal by Rob, and why she thinks the faithfuls this season were basically "flunking faithful school." Candiace didn't hold back about Colton Underwood's failed redemption arc, the exhausting reality of filming without hair and makeup teams while staying up until 3 AM in the turret, and that spicy reunion drama that may or may not fully air. We also got into her Potomac exit, why Monique Samuel's return confirmed she made the right choice leaving, her ongoing feud with Ashley Darby that reignited at Ultimate Girls Trip, and her thoughts on Karen Huger's DUI situation and marriage to Ray. Plus, Candiace opened up about her music career, upcoming projects, and why she'd do The Traitors every single year if they'd let her—because despite the chaos, it was the best unscripted experience of her life.

0:28.4	See, I actually thought at first Renna was going to be an awesome trader. Then when I watched
0:32.5	Renna, Renna seemed to offer a game because I think Renna is so used to like telling the truth
0:37.4	and saying it like
0:38.4	it is. Yeah. I actually thought Renna was shook. Did you? So I didn't really know her outside of
