A little reality TV drama never hurt anyone, right? Former Big Brother winner Rachel Reilly is no stranger to conflict or competition as she tried her hand on Peacock’s latest series, The Traitors.The CBS personality, who was a “faithful” in the game, didn’t end up taking home the big prize – spoiler alert!

Survivor alum Cirie Fields won – but she did make for some memorable reality TV moments, especially with Below Deck’s Kate Chastain, known for her quick wit, as the two butted heads on the show.“I have no idea where we got off on the wrong foot,” Rachel exclusively tells Us Weekly in our interview, which you can watch above. “I’m guessing I just have that personality.” She says there was a moment in which she shut down Kate and Brandi Glanville’s accusations that Michael Davidson was a traitor and she thinks “that might have rubbed them the wrong way where I was just like, ‘I’m not gonna do it.

Shut it down.’”Nevertheless, the reality TV personalities seemingly made amends while doing press for the show earlier this month. “We talked in New York and we were just like, ‘Oh, it’s a game, you know, whatever.

It’s totally no big deal,’” Rachel says. “It was funny. She’s funny. I’ll have to say, like, she got me good.”As for her allies, Rachel aligned herself with eventual winner Cirie and Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick, another Survivor alum, all of whom had just filmed a USA series together. “I knew right away that Stephenie, Cirie and I with Snake in the Grass, we were just so close from that show,” Rachel explains, adding that it wasn’t the case for her and fellow Big Brother winner Cody Calafiore: “I was never really comfortable with Cody.
