The Traitors<\/strong><\/a> <\/em>season 4 star Rob Rausch<\/strong><\/a> completely charmed all of his costars \u2014 and viewers \u2014 on his way to winning the show\u2019s $220,800 grand prize.<\/p>\n

The snake wrangler and influencer first made a splash on reality TV as one of the Casa Amor boys on Love Island<\/em> season 5. His dry humor and Southern drawl proved to be so popular with fans that he was brought back as a full islander in Love Island<\/em> season 6.<\/p>\n

Rob went through six couplings during his 30-day stay in the Love Island<\/em> villa on the second time around, but his love triangle with Leah Kateb<\/strong> and Andrea Carmona<\/strong> generated the most chatter via social media. In a July 2024 interview on the \u201cCall Her Daddy\u201d podcast<\/a>, Rausch had a surprisingly self-aware assessment when host Alex Cooper<\/strong> asked what Love Island<\/em> viewers thought of him.<\/p>\n

\u201cBasically, [they say] I\u2019m a toxic gaslighter, but I\u2019m hot enough that it doesn\u2019t matter,\u201d he quipped.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tMaura Higgins traded the luxury Love Island villa for the mystery-ridden Traitors castle, where she found herself bonding with her fellow Traitors and Faithfuls. \u201cFilming Traitors was an experience [and] very, very different for me. I had never watched a show, but I had a great time,\u201d Higgins, 34, exclusively told Us Weekly at the [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve heard [the theories],\u201d Rob joked.<\/p>\n

Asked if there was ever a moment where she and Rob were \u201ccrushing on each other\u201d in the castle, Maura insisted: \u201cA lot of people in the whole castle were saying it to us \u2026 We were genuinely just friends. That is the truth!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe never did anything,\u201d Rob agreed.<\/p>\n

Maura went even further by claiming that she and Rob never even \u201chad a flirt\u201d in the castle, which led to him slightly side-eyeing her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like we probably flirted a little bit,\u201d Rob replied.<\/p>\n

Maura set the record straight<\/a> once and for all while speaking exclusively to Us Weekly<\/em> for a cover story<\/a> on the Traitors<\/em> finale.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not gonna ruin it for the viewers, but no, nothing ever happened between me and Rob,\u201d she insisted. \u201cI genuinely look at Rob like a brother. Literally nothing ever happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

She went, \u201cPeople online are saying I\u2019m \u2018d***matized.\u2019 Believe me, you would know if I was d***matized. If they think that\u2019s me flirting, then they do not know me and they have never watched me on Love Island<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rob backed up Maura\u2019s explanation and emphatically told Us<\/em>: \u201cWe did not [hook up], and we will not. We are just friends. I\u2019m touching the chair [in that viral video], not her leg!\u201d<\/p>\n
