Everyone who is everyone is watching The Traitors, and as these villainous backstabbers continue making power plays and throwing wrenches in the Faithfuls' plans, Daniel Radcliffe is downright amazed by Love Island star Rob Rausch's strategy in the turret.

How to Watch

Stream The Traitors Thursdays at 9/8c exclusively on Peacock.

Amid the exciting release of their hit NBC sitcom The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, stars Daniel Radcliffe and Bobby Moynihan sat down for a fun-filled game of "How Online Are You?" with Betches magazine. With Season 4 of The Traitors in full swing and a high-stakes finale coming February 26, fans have been buzzing over the swoon-worthy Traitor who hasn't shied away from deceit and mischief.

The Love Island alum and snake wrangler was a provocative player during his reality television debut, and he's brought that same unabashed tenacity and competitiveness to the round table in Season 4 of The Traitors. Rob's impressive gameplay hasn't gone unnoticed, especially for the Reggie Dinkins stars, who proved themselves to be just the right levels of online after being flashed a photo of the 27-year-old and asked to name the Traitor's famous hobby (snake wrangling).

At the sight of the snapshot, Radcliffe instantly perked up. "I'm not caught up. Are you ruining anything for me?" he asked, clearly focused on not spoiling any of the Season 4 action.

To his credit, Saturday Night Live legend Moynihan was also caught up on all of the viral players from The Traitors, so it didn't take him long to identify the Love Island bombshell.

"This is The Traitors, and this is Rob," Moynihan said, getting a confident nod of excitement from Radcliffe.

"Who is excellent!" Radcliffe chimed in, eager to answer the hobby question. "I think his hobby is, like, snakes, right?"

Radcliffe was delighted to get the prompt correct, but even more eager to dive into why Rob has stolen the show on Season 4. "Big fan of his so far," Radcliffe said. "There's a ruthlessness to him, which is kind of surprising. The other night, someone was like, 'I feel really bad about sending her home 'cuz she's like, a single mom.' [Rob] was like, 'Yeah, but she had to go.'"

Radcliffe is, of course, referring to the elimination of Tiffany Mitchell. After making one too many correct hunches, the Traitors were quick to banish her in Episode 4. It was a cut-throat moment that shocked many, including Radcliffe, who remained equal parts incredulous and impressed with Rob's draconian approach to the game.

"I was like, 'Whoa, dude!'" Radcliffe laughed while recalling Rob's merciless remark.

"I don't have that in me," Moynihan admitted, a take that Radcliffe wholeheartedly agreed with. Sorry, folks: don't expect to see the Harry Potter icon roaming the halls of the Scottish Castle anytime soon. According to the Reggie Dinkins star, he doesn't have the hallmark Traitor bloodlust in him.

"No, I would be terrible," Radcliffe confessed while envisoning himself in the competition. "I'd be like, 'I'm a Traitor. Somebody kicked me out of here. I shouldn't be here!'"
