Robyn Dixon assures she was determined to confront Boston Rob at the next roundtable, stating, “I was completely focused on him.”

Bravo fans are in mourning over the loss of Robyn Dixon on Peacock’s The Traitors. Thankfully, the Real Housewives of Potomac alum is alive and thriving in real life, but within the walls of Alan Cumming’s Ardross Castle, she has been murdered by the traitorous trio of “Boston” Rob Mariano, Danielle Reyes, and Carolyn Wiger. To Dixon, her fictional death came as no surprise. Dixon revealed that Bob the Dragon Queen urged her to try to win a shield (which would protect her from murder) on the last mission before he himself was discovered to be among the Traitors and banished from the game. “The next morning, I just knew I wasn’t making it to breakfast,” said Dixon simply.

Unlike other players, Dixon did not get emotional over her exit. “For me, it was definitely a game,” explained Dixon. “I definitely didn’t take anything personally.” Furthermore, Robyn took it “as a compliment that people were coming for [her].” “They saw me as a threat,” said Dixon. It’s a good thing that Mariano spearheaded her demise in the turret because Dixon was on to him. “I promise you I was going to get Boston Rob at that next roundtable,” revealed Dixon. “I was laser focused on him after his stunt with Bob the Drag Queen.”

While Dixon was on to Mariano’s treacherous nature, she was surprised that Reyes and Wiger were his two accomplices. Like most of the other players, Dixon wrote off Wiger because of her eccentric behavior. “She was never on my radar because I thought there was no way she could handle being a Traitor,” confided Dixon. As for Reyes, Dixon was thrown off by her overly emotional and “dramatic” gameplay. “If I were a Traitor, I would have tried to stay under the radar, which she did not do,” said Dixon. “I overlooked her.”

Dixon hopped on a Zoom call to discuss her time on The Traitors, what she thought of Tom Sandoval, and why it was “disappointing” to watch the Bambis alliance crumble.

DECIDER: Robyn, I was truly sorry to see you murdered, but you didn’t seem all that surprised. Why is that?

ROBYN DIXON: No, I was not surprised. What you didn’t see during the last mission with the statues was that Bob the Drag Queen was pretty much yelling at me to get a shield. I was helping to get these statues up the hill because people were really struggling. I’m really strong, so I didn’t think twice. When Bob was banished, I was like, “Okay, he told me I need a shield because he knows something.” So, the next morning, I just knew I wasn’t making it to breakfast.

Thank you for not crying and carrying on in your confessional. I think some people are forgetting that The Traitors is a game and that it’s not personal.

For me, it was definitely a game. I was there to play a game, make TV, and entertain. None of these people owed me anything. I didn’t owe anyone anything except Dolores [Catania] because I knew her previously. I didn’t take anything personally. I took it as a compliment that people saw me as a threat and were coming for me. They knew I was someone to reckon with. It’s good they murdered me when they did because I promise you, I was going to get Boston Rob at that next roundtable. I was laser focused on him after his stunt with Bob the Drag Queen.

You were really clocked in from the start of the game, which was very different from your laid-back nature on RHOP. What was your strategy?

It’s funny because people say they didn’t like me on Potomac, but they love me on The Traitors. I’m the same exact person on both shows. I was very vocal on Potomac when something needed to be said. On that note, I’m not one that’s throwing stuff out just to be talking.

I quickly realized when I got to the castle that I was there to make television. The gamers were there just to win the game. I was going to voice my opinions. I just had to go for it. I didn’t have a concrete strategy, which is why I was murdered early on. I wanted to make the best of my time while I was there, and I wouldn’t have been happy with myself if I was just sitting there being quiet.

Upon learning their identities, were you shocked that Boston Rob, Danielle and Carolyn were responsible for your demise?

I was not shocked about Boston Rob whatsoever. The other two, my gosh, I was floored. I mean, Carolyn? [Laughs] I mean, she played a great game. While I was there, she would just be like, “I miss my dog” and complain about that. That is what I remember of Carolyn. She was never on my radar because I thought there was no way she could handle being a Traitor.

Danielle was, in my opinion, just so emotional and dramatic. I asked myself , “what would I do as a Traitor?” The answer: I would have tried to stay under the radar, which she did not do. That was my mistake; I overlooked her. So I was quite surprised by the both of them.

Why do you think the Traitors decided to target the Housewives? Do you think Phaedra Parks success on Season 2 had something to do with their bias?

Yeah, I definitely think it did. Phaedra did such a good job. Sheree also stuck around for a while. In Season 2, the Housewives were really unified, so I don’t blame them for wanting us out of the game. Again, I took it as a compliment. What I was upset about was that they forgot that they were entertaining people. Like, come on! We need Dorinda, we need Ayan, we even needed Bob the Drag Queen [laughs].

The internet has been talking a lot about Tom Sandoval: the pit stains, the fashion, the wild expressions. What were your thoughts on him?

The pit stains were hilarious. Tom was pretty funny. I don’t have a visceral hate for Tom. I treated him like any other person, any other human being. He was really trying to be a super Traitor hunter with those faces he’d make! I just got a kick out of him. I don’t know what people are saying about his fashion, but his suitcases were delayed a long time. So, I don’t think he got to wear his own clothes very much early on.

I do want to ask you about a move in this week’s episode that shocked me: Chrishell Stause and Gabby Windey turned on fellow “Bambis” alliance member Nikki Garcia and accused her of being a Traitor. Did that surprise you?

Yes, because I felt like it was way too early for them to turn on each other. I wish they would have been a little more communicative with each other. Though, I also understand they were in that house and didn’t know who to believe and who to trust. I hate that it went down that way. I don’t know if they were swayed by some sort of groupthink? It was really disappointing that they couldn’t keep it together.

My time is dwindling, but I want to ask what your husband Juan Dixon and sons Corey and Carter think of your time on The Traitors? Are they proud of you?

They’re super proud. The boys were always looking for me in the castle and on the missions. If they didn’t see me, they wanted to know why. [laughs]. I’m like, “there’s 20 or something people out here, just relax.” They got a kick out of the stuff that I said or how wrong I was at times [laughs]. They were quite entertained.

Lastly, which of your RHOP pals would you like to see in an upcoming season of The Traitors?

Gizelle would be my number one pick, of course. I would love to see how Gizelle would do. I don’t know that she could handle not having her phone though. She thinks that if she were on the show people would automatically assume she was a Traitor and just get her out. So, I don’t know. I think next season the people will now be focused on the gamers instead of the Housewives, but that’s the thing about The Traitors. You don’t know the direction that Alan Cumming and the powers that be are going to go.
