TONIGHT: Will North AL native outwit castmates in the finale of “The Traitors”?
Reading time: 3 minutes
Season 4 of NBC’s smash reality hit, The Traitors, has featured a breakout star from North Alabama: Rob Rausch.
Rob, a Florence native, UNA alum and self-proclaimed “snake wrangler” has become a breakout star of the season after being named a traitor in the show’s first episode.
Throughout the season, Rob has managed to deceive, double-cross and dominate the game, but will he emerge a winner?
Check out the details of Rob’s season below 👇

About Rob Rausch
Rausch, 27, a Florence native, made a name for himself before debuting on reality television through his social media presence and daring wildlife encounters.
He attended the University of North Alabama from 2017 to 2020, where he developed an immense passion for wildlife, particularly snakes. He shares his experiences wrangling reptiles on his TikTok, which has over 2 million followers.
Before starring on season four of The Traitors, Rob was a contestant on Love Island, and visited the villa in seasons 5 and 6. After failing to find lasting love on the island, Rob returned to television with a more scheming role.
Rob’s role in his latest reality TV endeavor is to convince other members of the cast to trust him to avoid elimination, while simultaneously “murdering” one player a night.
Rob on The Traitors
Despite the fact that Rob’s prior experience involved wrangling snakes, he’s done well acting as one this season. He has successfully outmaneuvered all of the original traitors and spearheaded the elimination of fellow tricksters, Real Housewives stars Lisa Rinna and Candiace Basset.
Many fans believe he is the strongest castmember this season and, possibly, the best player across its four season run.
“I think Rob is the best traitor in this season…I think he’s playing such a great game.”
Alan Cumming, Host of The Traitors
In addition to great gameplay, Rob has delivered several showstopping moments throughout the season, including my personal favorite: a vocabulary takedown of fellow player, Michael Rappaport.
👀Do you think you could win The Traitors? A new “civilian” version of the show is on its way to NBC soon with a non-celebrity cast.
