A slip of the tongue putTom Sandovalunder fire at theTraitorsroundtable.

In the Feb. 13 episode, the group wanted to test the “coffin theory” that one of the people in the caskets earlier this season had to be a Traitor. With Jeremy Collins andNikki Garciaboth out of the game, that only leftCiara Miller.

At the roundtable, Tom, 42, reiterated that “at least one” person in the casket group had to be a Traitor.

“Come on, also generally speaking, historically, girls are better cheaters than guys, just because they have better social…” theVanderpump Rulesalum said before the rest of the cast jumped on him.

“That came out your mouth?!” TraitorDanielle Reyesremarked.

“I said Traitors! I meant to say Traitors!” Tom insisted.

But everyone heard the reality star — who infamouslycheated on his girlfriend of nine years,Ariana Madix, with hisVPRcastmateRachel Leviss— say otherwise.

“You said cheater!”Big Brother’sBritney Haynesreminded him.

“Guys are obviously much more likely to cheat, I fully get that,” Tom acknowledged.

“We knowyouknow,” Ciara, 28, said.

As Tom continued to apologize and state that he “meant Traitors,”Sam Asghariadvised, “Don’t dig yourself deeper.”

Britney Spears’s ex-husband then turned the conversation back to going after Ciara.

Although Ciara tried to plead her case, the vote did not go in her favor, and the group banished theSummer Housestar.

Sam admitted, “We messed that one up.”

“It makes zero sense why I would feel good about bringing your bestie in here. Like, she is,” Carolyn said to Danielle of Britney. “That would be stupid of me, I’m sorry. Anybody but Britney.”

The Traitors will make their decision in next week’s episode, which will also seeKate ChastainandParvati Shallowreturn to the castle.
