​The Housewives came for Bob the Drag Queen during 'The Traitors' reunion & got murdered by words​

Always quick with a one-liner and a read, the peak moment of the reunion featured Bob facing off against Real Housewives stars Dorinda Medley and Chanel Ayan, when they tried to come for Bob and instead got a lesson in literacy.

The rivalry began as soon as Ayan walked in, parading her, admittedly fabulous, look in front of Bob as an attempt to shade her, only to have Bob casually respond, "a close second."

But the drama truly kicked off with Medley attempting to guilt and shame Bob for simply playing the game, and doing so unremorsefully.

“I was very sad that I got murdered but the whole thing [you said after] that I was mad, I can promise you I didn’t think about it. There’s nothing to be mad about. I was very sad,” Dorinda said, adding that she called reunion host Andy Cohen after the fact to cry, literally. “I liked you and I really wanted to get to know you. So this negativity after the fact was really unfortunate.”

Speaking with PRIDE prior to the season airing, Bob confessed she wasn't familiar with the cast when she met them on the first day of taping. "The truth is, I didn't know who any of them were! I did not know a single one of those people and I'm not being shady. That's just me being honest!" she admitted.

During the reunion, Bob doubled down, telling Medley. “I don’t know any of these people. You’re the only one taking that personally,” she said as the Real Housewives star continued to speak over her. “Are you capable of not talking while I am talking?” said Bob, to which Cohen hilariously cosigned, “She doesn’t like to be on pause,” in a reference to Medley having been put “on pause” during her tenure on The Real Housewives of New York, eliciting gasps and cracked faces from the rest of the cast.

“I assure you Dorinda — and this is no shade to anyone here — I have never, ever had to try to make someone else diminish so that I could have stage time or screen time. No shade, I have been a star on every TV show I've ever been on,” concluded Bob.

This led to Ayan jumping in accusing Bob of being jealous because she was the funniest and most fabulous person on the show. To which Bob hilariously clapped back, “When your comedy special comes out I’ll be the first one to watch it. I already have two out right now.”

Murdered. By. Words. Or as fellow castmate Bob Harper puts it, “This reunion show is so good right now.”

Harper is correct. It’s juicy, it's punchy, it’s quintessentially Bob the Drag Queen. But what stands out more than anything is just how incredibly queer it is.

This moment, this season, and all the joys, laughs, triumphs, drama, and excitement quite literally could not have happened without the impact of queer people and queer culture. Housewives as the cultural juggernaut it is would not exist without the influence of our producer turned The Traitors reunion host Cohen and the legions of queer fans who have celebrated and elevated the Housewives franchise.

Then of course there is BTDQ herself, sitting here in all her fabulous unapologetic nonbinary queerness, in the first chair no less. Why does that matter? It’s because that placement signifies her centrality to the drama. It also serves as a reminder of what we have to lose should those calling for queer silence and erasure have their way.

But they won’t, because no matter how many metaphorical Boston Rob's try to take us out, we will prevail. We are not going anywhere.
