Vanderpump Rules fans may be used seeing Tom Sandoval behind the bar at SUR, Tom Tom, or Schwartz & Sandy's, but viewers will now get to see him go head-to-head with other reality TV stars at an epic Scottish castle on The Traitors Season 3.

How to Watch

Watch Vanderpump Rules on Peacock and the Bravo app.

The Peacock series is set to debut on Thursday, January 9, but a sneak peek dropped on January 1 that shows Tom and other cast members (including fellow Bravolebrities Ciara Miller, Chanel Ayan, Dolores Catania, Robyn Dixon, and Dorinda Medley)m getting acquainted with one another — and with Ardross Castle.

"Here we go," Tom, who is wearing a Scottish kilt, says as he gets out of the car.

His presence then causes quite a reaction from a few of the other competitors.

"Oh, my gosh, do you see who it is?" Total Bellas' Nikki Bella says to fellow Traitors cast member and former Bachelorette, Gabby Windey.

"Is that Sandoval?" Gabby responds. "I'm not saying hi to him."
