Some would possibly assume being the sibling of an uber-famous movie star is a curse, however within the case of Zac Efron’s brother, Dylan, it’s actually a blessing… not least to our eyes.
The youthful brother of the Excessive College Musical alum is at the moment making a splash as a contestant on The Traitors, and whereas his surname is sufficient to catch consideration by itself, Efron is adopting a brand new moniker because of his time on the fact collection. For those who’re not throughout the lore of the Traitors mansion, let me fill you in; Efron is one in every of 23 participant’s in the present third season of the Peacock present.
He’s what is called a “trustworthy,” that means it’s his job, together with different “faithfuls” (grammatically incorrect, however not within the Traitors-verse), to smell out and evict one of many 4 “traitors” within the mansion. It’s mainly a televised model of Mafia, as a substitute it’s stuffed with actuality TV alums and tangentially well-known individuals, and never your black sheep cousin who hoped it was a ingesting recreation. Anyway, Efron was fulfilling his “trustworthy” duties in a latest episode of the present and recognized fellow contestant, Bob the Drag Queen, as a possible “traitor.”
Given her roots, this led Bob the Drag Queen to throw Efron off the scent by giving him a drag identify. Liz Anya, maybe? Anne Chovy, you ask? Or possibly Polly Esther? Nope, these are all lifted from my private journal of drag names (which, for what it’s price, would additionally swimsuit Efron), however Bob bestowed the well-known sibling with a reputation that was tied to his quest to unveil her as a “traitor,” and she or he landed on “Miss Guided.” In fact, it was Bob’s try and squash any hypothesis that she was not a “trustworthy,” and it noticed her masterfully shut down all of Efron’s misguided (see!) hypothesis.
Taking the stage identify past the stage, followers had been fast to note that Efron went on to replace the bio part of his Instagram profile, which now bears the identical identify because the one given to him on The Traitors. It’s adopted by a nail sharpening emoji, as a result of on high of being so engaging it really hurts (a deep, inexplicable abdomen ache), Efron can be an ally. In any case, Bob’s efforts as a nomenclator had been profitable sufficient to divert consideration, and she or he was spared from being banished by the broader group in episode three — which is especially spectacular provided that she really is likely one of the 4 traitors on this season.
Whereas Bob will stay to see one other day within the Scottish mansion (and Miss Guided will stay on in perpetuity), Efron nonetheless has his eye on the drag queen, and confirmed in a confessional that he nonetheless believes Bob is a “traitor.” We must wait and see how this aggressive spirit between the 2 gamers pans out for the remainder of the season, which is able to hopefully embrace an impromptu drag present with Efron in full glam and a corset (a scene additionally lifted from my private journal).
Bob averted becoming a member of the individuals who’ve already been eradicated this season, together with Dorinda Medley of The Actual Housewives of New York, Wells Adams of The Bachelor, Chanel Ayan of The Actual Housewives of Dubai, and Survivor alum Tony Vlachos. Alongside Bob and Efron, the broader solid of this season contains Tom Sandoval, Chrishell Stause, Robyn Dixon, and Britney Spears’ ex, Sam Asghari. Oh, and it’s hosted by Alan Cumming, whose perpetually iconic costumes are a drag present in their very own proper.
