‘Traitors’ Star Rob Rausch Steps Out With Political Pin One Day After Finale

Rob Rausch isn’t wasting any time stepping back into the spotlight after his big reality TV moment. Just one day after "The Traitors" season four finale and reunion aired, the "Love Island" star was photographed in New York City meeting up with Lisa Rinna, but it wasn’t just their reunion that caught attention. Rob Rausch was seen wearing an “ICE OUT” pin, a political accessory that has recently appeared on several celebrities during awards season.

On February 27, the day after the finale aired, Rausch was spotted in New York City alongside Lisa Rinna, whom he met while filming the latest season of the hit Peacock series.

During the competition, Rausch, Rinna, and Candiace Dillard Bassett were selected by host Alan Cumming to serve as the titular traitors. The trio worked together behind the scenes, secretly plotting eliminations while attempting to maintain their cover among the other contestants.

Rausch ultimately played a role in both "Housewives" stars being banished during the game, but the post-show meetup suggested there were no hard feelings lingering after the competition wrapped.

For their outing, Rinna appeared to lean into Rausch’s signature fashion aesthetic, arriving in denim overalls with one strap undone, a look fans of the reality star have come to recognize. Unlike Rausch, who often skips a shirt underneath the overalls, the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alum paired hers with a white tank top. She completed the outfit with oversized black sunglasses and pointed black heels, blending casual and glam elements.

Rausch, meanwhile, opted for a different look than his usual style, wearing a faded dark hoodie with “RR” embroidered across the front, paired with bluish-gray cargo pants and white sneakers.

What drew the most attention, however, was the small accessory pinned to Rausch’s hoodie: an “ICE OUT” button. The pin has become increasingly visible during major cultural events, including the Golden Globes and the Grammys, where celebrities such as Billie Eilish, Tessa Thompson, and Justin and Hailey Bieber have worn similar accessories.

The pins are intended to raise awareness and express solidarity with individuals affected by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enforcement actions, including Renee Nicole Good, Alex Pretti, and Keith Porter Jr., among others, who have died during encounters involving immigration law enforcement.

The sighting comes just as Rob Rausch is still riding the momentum of his headline-making run on "The Traitors" Season 4. The reality star ultimately emerged as the final winner of the season, successfully navigating the game’s deception and strategy to claim the prize after a dramatic finale filled with banishments and last-minute decisions.

Following his victory, Rob Rausch opened up to Men's Health about his mindset going into the competition and what ultimately helped him succeed in such a high-pressure environment.

While he entered the game confident, he acknowledged that many unpredictable factors could influence the outcome. “I mean, I thought I'd be pretty good,” Rausch said. “But there are a lot of variables in this game. A lot of it has to do with the people you're playing with and how much you can relate to those people. At the end of the day, that's what builds trust: common ground.”

He explained that forming relationships with fellow contestants played a major role in his ability to advance through the competition. “I was fortunate enough to find that common ground with a lot of my castmates and build genuine connections with them, to a certain degree,” he continued. “Obviously, I'm playing a character somewhat. But, yeah, I had a feeling I'd be pretty good.”

"I constantly, constantly, constantly had to remind myself, 'This is a game. You're playing it well. Just keep playing. You're almost done. Keep going,'" he recalled. "We're playing a social game, and this is part of it, you know? It doesn't have to be a big betrayal because at the end of the day, we're all playing the same game. You just hope the people you're playing with get that and respect it."

His victory marked a notable moment for the franchise, making him the first traitor to win the U.S. version of the competition since Season 1.
