Spoiler warning: This post contains spoilers for the winner(s) of The Traitors’s third season.

Bambi. Gaggy. Ciggy Mommy. Newlywed. America’s Sweetheart.

Former Bachelorette star and podcast host Gabby Windey has, at times, embodied all those ideals, and now she can add one more title to her bio: Traitors season three winner.

Windey, along with fellow “faithfuls” Real Housewife of New Jersey Dolores Catania, professional brother Dylan Efron, and lesser royal Ivar Mountbatten, out-maneuvered the remaining “traitors” — Big Brother’s Danielle Reyes and Britney Haynes — to win Alan Cumming’s game show. Besting an assemblage of other reality TV stars and slightly random minorly famous people at a castle in the Scottish Highlands to take home a quarter of the $204,300 prize pot is no small feat.

Winning the murder mystery almost feels like icing, though, because Windey had already charmed, entertained, and won the hearts of so many of us watching at home. With 832,000 followers on her own TikTok, a growing podcast, and the fascinating popularity of Gaggy remixes, the throaty-voiced former cheerleader and her caustic high-femme persona are exploding on social media, promising to be a presence well after this latest foray into reality TV.
