It looks like Tom Sandoval isn’t the only VPR star who has their sights set on The Traitors.

Lala Kent recently revealed that she was also approached to star in the upcoming season, though she couldn’t accept the opportunity.

“The timing would have to be different. Season 2, they approached me to gauge my interest on joining, and the timing was just really hard,” she said, per Us Weekly.

She appeared to tease that there may be a chance for her to join the cast down the line. “I never really say no to an opportunity,” she added.

However, she did have some things to say about Sandoval joining the cast after an especially explosive year on Vanderpump Rules. Sandoval famously cheated on his longtime girlfriend, Ariana Madix, with their co-star and friend Rachel “Raquel” Leviss.

“You told me during the last Amazon Live that Tom Sandoval is on it this season. I’m like, ‘That would be tough.’ Because literally you are either labeled a traitor or a faithful,” she said.

She added, “If they made him a traitor, it would be too obvious, but if they made him a faithful it won’t be too obvious. Maybe I go with the less obvious choice.”

Despite the Scandoval drama on VPR, Kent wished her co-star well on the new endeavor.

“I’m really excited. I hope he doesn’t go home — I really want to psychoanalyze all of them,” she said.

Sandoval isn’t the only reality star set to join the new cast of Traitors. Bravo Housewives  Dorinda MedleyChanel Ayan, Dolores Catania and Robyn Dixon will be staying in the Ardross Castle along with RuPaul’s Drag Race‘s Bob The Drag Queen, Bachelor in Paradise‘s Wells Adams, and Big Brother’s Britney Hayes and Danielle Reyes, among others. Alan Cumming will remain as host.

This will be the second reality show Sandoval’s starred in since news of his affair broke. Last year he starred in Season 2 of Fox’s Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, where he bonded with former child star JoJo Siwa.

Siwa said he went into the military training with a lot of baggage after Scandoval made headlines.

“Tom Sandoval was there and, of course, it was right as Scandoval was going on and so he was very in his head about a lot of things,” she said after competing on the show. “I told him all the time, I was like, ‘Tom, none of us care here. No offense. Your problems are the least of our worries while we’re here.’”

Let’s see if that baggage will follow him on this new season of The Traitors.

The Traitors Seasons 1 and 2 are streaming now on Peacock.
