Bustle Exclusive
Fans didnt see everything from his Scottish castle stay.
Somewhere it was gonna catch up to me, and it did at the end.
That experience inspired Peter to approachThe Traitorsas a new man.
While Im a very emotionally in-tune person, Im going to detach from that.
I really tried to be robotic, where Im strategy first and human element [second].
Well, it worked.
Peter helped turn the tide ofThe TraitorsSeason 2,settinga strategic trapthat eventually oustedTraitor No.
1, Dan Gheesling and revealed several more in the process.
But it wasnt all sunshine and roses.
Still, he tells Bustle, things werent always quiteso contentious off-camera.
Below, Peter breaks down viral moments, what hed do differently, and hismom-approvedconnection with fellow FaithfulEkin-Su Culculoglu.
What surprised you most watching back?
I was super jealous.
I should have accepted that Traitor [recruitment] just to see the turret.
I never got to see the underground cellar, that basement.
Since you mention the basement, do you think you would have accepted the join-or-die ultimatum thatKate Chastaingot?
Yeah, Im not going to die in a cellar like that, stuck below the castle forever.
If Id had no choice, I would have accepted it.
But I was willing to fight as long as I had a choice.
Your Episode 7 standoff withMJ Javidwent viral.
Looking back, what do you make of that moment?
Our time to talk and strategize is so short.
I get feelings being hurt, but it was still worth it to stay organized.
Another viral moment was when you were trying to get on Parvati Shallows good side.
People were like,Oh my God.
The chemistry in that scene!
Its the epitome of a love-hate relationship.
Theres nothing like that kind of tension.
I noticed it too, but we had so much fun playing the game.
Bachelor Nation has a lot of love foryour mom.Did she give you any advice beforeThe Traitors?
She recentlyposted a photowith Ekin-Su and your sister-in-law.
How did that outing come about?
Ekin and I became really good friends.
Were very similar, we got along right off the bat.
I was bummed to see her leave when she did.
I would have loved to play the game with her longer.
She was actually in LA.
Shes a really good friend, and obviously, my mom thinks the world of her.
I want to seeChris Harrison.Chris has always been the host, never the player, if you will.
Hes a very intelligent man with a lot of experience on reality TV.
He could make some moves.
I would sayJason Tartick.Hes one of my really good friends.
Hes a smart, analytical guy.
I think hed be good at strategy.
I thinkHannah Brownwould kill it.
Shes such a fun, incredible personality and very smart at the same time.
Shed be a joy to watch.
We saw Kate come back afteralmostmaking itto the end in Season 1.
As someone in a similar position, would you return in the future?
In a heartbeat, absolutely.
I love this game ups and downs, everything.
