The revelation of Underwood acting as Rinna's protector may surprise some "Traitors" fans, given the pair's contentious history on camera and social media.

According to The Blast, Rinna teased a fiery altercation between herself and Underwood as the upcoming "Traitors" reunion, saying she did what "needed to be done." She finished, "'Cause you know, if you want a Housewife, I'll give you a Housewife ... honey."

Prior to that, Rinna ignited further controversy by labeling the "Bachelor" alum a "stalker" on social media, an allusion to his past legal issues with ex-girlfriend Cassie Randolph.

"Now, as you know, if you ask me to be a 'Housewife,' I'll bring it to you, right? That's what I was doing, all in the name of the game," she said in a video.

Underwood also reflected on his rivalry with Rinna in season 4 of "The Traitors," clarifying that despite what was shown on camera, he has a lot of "love" for the "Days of Our Lives" actress.

"I love Lisa, and I think it was such an honor to go against her. I know she said this too, we were perfect nemeses for each other," he said. "... we're there to entertain, and we get it; we're gonna play heightened versions of ourselves. She said it, 'You want a Housewife, I'll give you a Housewife.' So I'm like, 'Thank you! Let's do this.'"

Underwood's stint in the Scottish castle was marked by further conflict, as the father of one also feuded with Michael Rapaport over an alleged homophobic comment. Once the moment aired, Underwood revealed that some of the responses from viewers went too far.

According to The Blast, Rinna recently offered a candid look at the behind-the-scenes mechanics of "The Traitors."

While promoting her new memoir, "You Better Believe I'm Gonna Talk About It," Rinna admitted that filming the thrilling reality competition show was the "hardest job" she's ever had.

"I don't care. Broadway, 'Dancing With the Stars' — this is the most challenging because it's a game, [it's] physical, mental, and psychological," she said. "There's not enough sleep, and there's not enough food."

Rinna elaborated that the physical demands of the challenges were compounded by exhausting, drawn-out filming schedules.

"For traitors, because you work three hours longer than the faithfuls, because it's secret. Once the faithfuls go home, you go to the turret and do your traitoring. 18 hours a day. Every day," she said.

"I put so much of myself into this book; the good, the bad, and the wackadoodle. It feels really good to see it finally come together."
