Reality television fans got to know Rob Rausch on Love Island USA, but his real breakout moment came in Season 4 of The Traitors earlier this year. Thanks to an impressive social game, Rausch won the show, and fans have been begging for more of him on their television screens ever since.
For months, it’s been rumored that Rausch will be one of the contestants in Season 35 of Dancing With the Stars, especially since his Traitors bestie (and runner-up) Maura Higgins has already been cast on the show, which premieres in September.
“I’d be open to it,” Rausch teased to TV Insider amid his partnership with Reese’s. In general, Rausch said he’s “open” to being on another show in the future. “I’m not in a rush, but you never know,” he said.

Something he has no interest in, though, is a show about his quiet life in Alabama. “I don’t think so,” Rausch admitted. “I considered it, but I think I would eventually probably hate that, honestly.” And what about starring in something as an actor? “I thought maybe I would, but I don’t know,” he said. “It’d have to be the right role.”
For now, Rausch is enjoying his life back at home and out of the spotlight. “With a few exceptions for work stuff, I’ve pretty much just been home. It’s been awesome,” he said. “If I’m home and I got nothing to do, I’m probably going to wake up, go to the farm, maybe help my granddad with something. I’ve been doing some woodworking lately. I’ve been practicing wheelies, been really fixated on that. Then go to the creek, catch some snakes, get some sun, listen to music. That’s pretty much what I’ve been doing.”
Currently, he’s also enjoying Reese’s limited edition marshmallow cups and strawberry PB&J cups, which the brand released to “revive iconic flavors that made childhood lunches memorable.” According to Rausch, “I love these limited edition cups. The strawberry PB&J, I ate a lot of those as a kid, and then also the marshmallow – I was a huge fan of s’mores when I was a kid. I was actually vegetarian when I was a kid until I was about 16, so I had a lot of PB&Js.”
