Watch: Bob the Drag Queen Shades Zac Efron's Acting Skills During Heated ‘Traitors’ Roundtable

This story contains spoilers from the Jan. 16 episode of The Traitors.

Zac Efron just got a taste of the greatest showman.

The High School Musical star found himself at the center of some roundtable drama on the The Traitors as his younger brother, Dylan Efron, urged the rest of the players to send Bob the Drag Queen home.

“I genuinely think you’re a traitor,” Dylan told the RuPaul’s Drag Race alum during the Jan. 16 episode of the Peacock series. “Like, what’s the easier game for a traitor to play? I would play a very quiet one because I can’t be boisterous.”

When the Down to Earth star proceeded to commend the drag performer as “an amazing actor” and noted that he grew up with one, Bob interjected with a harsh dose of shade, saying, “Not a good one.”

But in the end, Dylan, 32, had the last laugh as Bob, 38, was banished from the game with 11 votes, revealing his identity as a traitor on the way out. And as the remaining contestants celebrated their successful roundtable vote, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania offered her own two cents about the Neighbors star’s onscreen abilities.

“Good job, Dylan,” she said. “And listen—your brother’s a good actor.”

Shortly after the season three cast was revealed, Zac himself weighed in on his little bro’s prospects, making it crystal clear he had total faith in his sibling.

“I think Dylan's going to win,” the Iron Claw star told E! News in June. “I hope he does, because he's so good at games. He always has been since we were kids. He's like the game master.”

In fact, Zac said Dylan’s chances of winning don’t even depend on his level of skill.

“I don't care what game it is,” he continued. “It can be a luck game like Yahtzee and he always gets Yahtzee on the first roll.”

The actor added, “If anyone can do this, it's him. I'm rooting for him.”
