Hi!
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
Good, I love your aesthetic. Like, what are, what do we call this? It's getting earthy.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
That's what you do? Well, yeah.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
Oh, really? That's the goal? You go deep? We go deep! It's like a deep thinking? Sure. Okay.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
I wasn't prepared for that. I'm all about keeping it light.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
I'm very, very against the idea that the earth is flat. Very. Well, thank God we got that out of the way.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
Well, and like a ton of the comments that I see, because it's just my algorithm, are Big Brother, like Big Brother fans. So the Big Brother fan segment of the Traitors fans was very, they were very riled up. It was very intense, a very intensive situation. I don't know if they have a name.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
Pretty much. Even though I have a really good defense, but yeah, pretty much.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
Well, that's just the narrative that's out there is this like crazy story of betrayal. And it's like really like the details matter. And so I feel very much on my own side that it was not a crazy story. Like to me, if I was going to stab Daniel on the back, The method for that would have been that I would have gone to the confessional and said, tonight's the night.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
I'm pulling the trigger on Danielle. I want to be the last traitor standing. I've got this idea. I'm going to plant these seeds. I'm going to go to the banishment table and I'm going to lay out this evidence against Danielle. That would have been a betrayal, right? A takedown of Danielle. The situation that I found myself in rather was that I actually attempted to save her life in the game.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
I went around. I tried to get votes for her. I worked really aggressively and really hard. We got to the banishment table. It didn't work. You know, everybody was so rallied against her that that wasn't going to happen. And I was forced into a situation where I had to choose my own self-preservation over preserving us as a duo.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
And in doing so, I had to vote with the majority, which happened to be against her. So I personally don't see it as like this crazy attack and betrayal. I feel it's a very, very different scenario than say, you know, what I what I said would qualify to me as a betrayal. But listen, it's flashier and zestier if we call it a backstab and a betrayal. So by all means.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
I think that she does actually. Yeah. And I think that probably like the discrepancy between my POV on reindeer games and my POV on traders in the way that she is able to receive it is that she herself had to do a lot of strategic game moves on traders that existed for the reason of self-preservation in her own mind. And so it gives her a little bit more of
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
a sympathetic or an empathetic eye to what the position that I was in versus when we were on reindeer games, the first time it had been so long that she played since she played that she was probably way more annoyed. I think that this time on trader, she's like, yeah, it was a bad position to be in. It sucked. I get it. I think that she's more open to it this time.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
Basically. Yeah. And I had to try to, to flip that on its head and flip that back on Dylan. And I had to try really hard. Like I was specifically remembering everything that she said to him because I knew that he was the target I was going to have to go after. Um, And so I tried to spin it, but, yeah, it was a bad look. And, you know, she was acting off of emotion. She was pissed. She was pissed.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
So, I mean, I'm not surprised. It had happened prior. Bob the Drag Queen did the same thing to Boston Rob. So it wasn't surprising, something I was going to have to contend with. I can't even really be that mad about it because otherwise she's basically saying, like, okay, it's cool with me if you win. So... I get it.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
We don't know for sure because the situation's never happened, but we knew it would be left to chance. So sure. Probably a coin flip in that scenario. Fifty percent that she goes anyway. In that scenario, she still has a 50-50 shot of going home anyway, and I'm going to have not voted against her twice.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
And if Dolores does end up switching her vote to Danielle, I'll be the only person who wouldn't vote for her. And that's a very bad look. Being the only person, because I know she's going to stand up there and say she's a traitor, whether I vote her out or whether she coin flips and goes up, she's going to say she's a traitor. Yeah.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
And being the only person who won't vote for a traitor, really bad look, really indefensible. That's defense or that's, you know, evidence that we've presented against multiple people in the game at this point. So I definitely didn't want to be in a situation where Dolores does switch her vote. And then I'm the only one who wouldn't vote against.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
I either make this vote and try to take the wheel or I leave it to a coin flip. and deal with the repercussions.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
I get it too.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
Yeah, we actually, we talked after the reunion because during the reunion, we had like this crazy argument about the reindeer game, not even about craters. Like, of course, it goes back to the peppermint forest. And so after the reunion, we had a good conversation. Actually, like our first, I feel, productive conversation about the reindeer games. Wish we had had that maybe prior.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
I think that I, I don't ever want to speak for her. Like she can feel however she wants to feel. I think that she's more receptive to it. I think that things are good, but you know, I leave it to her to tell her side. I don't have any problems online.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
i couldn't believe that with the argument i presented against dylan that it didn't get him banished like even if i didn't get him banished over me that's fine like kick me out first but is nothing that i said still lingering in your mind like i had so much good evidence against him what did you say i don't feel like a lot of it yeah a lot of it did get cut but like Yeah. Yeah.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
And so I presented this whole argument about who was in the bookcase. Dylan was in the bookcase. I was never in the bookcase. I would never go to the bookcase. Like I had this whole thing about Dylan being in the bookcase and how that he made better sense as a recruit.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
For Danielle, if Danielle was in the situation to recruit, which is why like there was this clip of me saying like, if someone was recruited, it wasn't me. That was in direct response to Dylan saying, I think you would be recruited. And I put that back on him and said, listen, you make way better sense as a recruit because everyone thinks you're a faithful.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
So if you're going to recruit someone, why would you recruit someone who's already suspect? Why would you not recruit someone who's a super diehard faithful if you're going to try to stick together and make it to the end together? Why recruit me when I could recruit you? I mean, you're a perfect.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
Yeah. Definitely. Yeah.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
But if she picked, if she picked the other two, she was almost literally just handing them a win with me. My name was already suspect. So it was like, if we don't go together, neither of us go. If she gives it to someone like Dylan and, He literally, she's just handing him a win because she's still going to get banished, but she's going to go to the end of the game and win the whole thing.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
So in her mind, it's like, yeah, I kind of want to let Brittany win as long as I can win too. I don't really want to just let Ivor win. I mean, she literally would have just been handing him the money. You know what I mean? I was the only one that was like also a little bit suspicious, but yeah, it annoys me that they didn't. Not that I don't like Dylan. I love Dylan, but come on.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
That was a good argument. Like none of you are even suspicious after this great argument. That's annoying to me.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
And then Ivor said at the banishment table that night that he wasn't there for the money. And I think that he thinks that the whole like kumbaya thing is like really going to go over well and resonate with audiences. No, that's like the worst thing you could say. If for no other reason, I would have been like, Ivor, you literally said 10 minutes ago you weren't here for the money.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
And so I'm so happy to have given you this experience, but you're getting the boot because I am here for the money.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
yeah so yeah they could at least vote it off either yeah bro you're a fucking royal you don't need this shit like yeah and he literally said it he was like and i think we all know we didn't come here for the money and i'm like is he insane yes we did that's the only reason we're here like what he said the words like he basically said like you can vote me out if you want i i just
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
Why split it four ways when you can kick him and split it three ways? It just doesn't make fiscal sense. I'm sorry, but they're fiscally irresponsible people. That's an extra $15,000. They're irresponsible in making great finale television and they're irresponsible fiscally. If nothing else, maybe they're great people, but they're fiscally irresponsible.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
Oh, it definitely came from like, she's trying to sell the idea really, really hard. I was a part of the conversation that Chrishell was in. It was separate from the conversation that you heard about on the reunion.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
It was a different time when she did it in front of Chrishell and I. And while, so you just have to kind of understand, because I know Danielle, or I was very aware of Danielle's game, it didn't exonerate her for me. it did for them because they have no context of like these games, how people play these games, big brother players in general, sadly.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
But like, so for me, when she did it, I was just like, all right, you know, it's just words coming from her because I knew that that would be like something that she would do and justify by saying like, listen, this is a game. Like this is, you know, this is the whole,
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
big brother mantra is like it's a game it's a game it's a game it's a game however Chris shell saying it like absolutely I knew that she was a faithful after that because I knew that just Chris shell's personality and her history it's just not something she would do so absolutely Chris shell and Dolores in that moment like they earned my trust 100% Danielle I was like yeah cool but like yeah
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
you know, you just know it's a little different whenever you're working with someone who comes from like Survivor or Big Brother.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
Yes. Correct. Yeah. It becomes, well, like in that scenario, it becomes like,
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
If you're not lying though, it's not really like an emotional, it was, I will say like Dolores, as soon as it happened, she immediately said like, I'm disgusted that I just did that. Like you could tell that she was like not happy with herself that she had even done it in the first place. Like it bothered her to do it again.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
That's how I was like, well, she's for sure faithful because it was like impactful to her. Like she did not like it. And I get it. I don't think that I could lie like that either. I really don't. I'm in a different situation. I think it's left to the individual. I've been through personal life experiences that would make me like I couldn't. Plus I have anxiety. Welcome to having anxiety.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
If you're a person who has anxiety, you have this like tendency to believe that words and energy like actually can change biology and make like a meaningful impact on what happens in the real world. If you don't have that affliction, congrats. It must be nice to sleep all night and every night. You must just sleep so well. I am plagued with anxiety. So no, I don't think that I could lie like that.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
But again, you just got to know the source.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
Oh my God. The worst. And they, it's so heightened for whatever reason. Like I don't even understand why this happens, but anytime that I go into a really, really stressful situation, it like brings it back. You know what I mean?
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
Like it, for some reason it like bubbles it up and like it makes it, I don't know if it's because it's sort of like reintroducing the mental environment that you were in when you were in like the, your worst state, um,
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
I don't know if you can relate to this at all, Nick, either with like having filmed other shows, but it's like it brings up like all of your worst deepest and you have to actively fight against that while also trying to accomplish whatever you're trying to accomplish on the show. Interesting. It's really weird. I don't even know how to describe it.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
Yeah, they do well because they're great faithfuls. They're just really great faithfuls. We haven't, well, wait, Ari became a traitor way, way, way late in the game.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
Yeah, and then he quit because of it. Yeah. Like, he literally couldn't go through the, like, emotional torture of trying to cut someone's throat, so he just quit.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
Yeah, he literally was just like, oh, now I will have to fight for my life and try to cut your throat. Eh, I'm good. It's been a good time, you guys. I'm out. And he walked away from the fire. It was crazy. But yeah, people from Bachelor make great face bowls because they don't really have the gamer mentality. They're like, But they're good. They're good on camera.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
They're good at like forming connections and making it kind of fun and having fun with it. But when it comes to like the actual game, they're not seen as threatening because they're not just like super game literate, if you will.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
Actually, you were rumored to be on that season. I had read spoilers that you were going to be there.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
Does it?
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
You always have fun in retrospect. You get home and you're like, oh, look, I'm on a helicopter. Whee, that's so fun. But when you're actually doing it, it's horrible. You're away from home for a month. You don't have any contact with your family. You're in this paralytic anxiety state.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
at all times all the obtrusive thoughts like it's yeah it's difficult like you work for the money I'll tell you that much like it's work on your mind body and soul but then there's always the retrospective where you're like oh that was great like I loved that person that was so fun you know I'd like to go back for a day you feel that way about anything that you film but it's always miserable when you're filming
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
Who knows? Who knows? I don't know. I would take I would take a call. I would never do Big Brother again. And it's like traditional three month long format because it's just not conducive to. my family anymore. It's a little harmless Christmas-themed spinoff. What could go wrong?
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
What could go wrong?
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
I don't know. I mean, I've definitely heard people say that they suspect that they will. Who knows? It's not in any of our hands. So we can put it out there, but it's up to the powers that be at Peacock to agree.
The Viall Files
E898 - Traitors w/ Britney, Harvey Guillén Talks Bravo, LIB Reunion, Tamra’s Exit, & James Kennedy
