Eric Nam Turns Traitors Betrayal Into Western-Themed 'How the Fire Started' Video Featuring Rob Rausch

Nam calls the Western-styled clip a playful answer to Rob Rausch’s finale betrayal.

Overview

  • Released March 3, the video reunites Traitors alumni Maura Higgins, Ron Funches, Natalie Anderson, and Yam Yam Arocho alongside Rausch.
  • The storyline stages Rausch being tied up, stripped of his overalls, doused, and set on fire before a last-minute rescue by Funches.
  • Nam says he phoned Rausch to ask him to participate, and Rausch agreed, calling it “the least I could do.”
  • The production was filmed at Los Angeles–area Shadow Hills Ranch and was turned around in roughly two weeks after the reunion.
  • Framing the project as entertainment, Nam responded to critics calling him a sore loser by emphasizing the video’s tongue-in-cheek intent.
