“I think I have to stay away from the love shows,” Weber said. “That’s not really my forte. I’ve learned that. But any kind of competition show —Special Forces,Survivor— I would definitely look forward to a challenge like that. I would love to push myself and have the ability to see what I’m made of.”

“I was talking with the producer, I’m like, ‘Yeah, I should do that. Why not?'” Weber said of how that moment came together. “It was [the] perfect way, I think, to kind to smooth everything over. And listen, I think Phaedra is incredible. Obviously we got into it and had a heated battle, but it was all in the spirit of the game.”

Weber said he and the former Real Housewife of Atlanta are “good now.”

“I’m someone that takes a lot to kind get me brought up like that, and she definitely got me there, but it was just competitive juices flowing,” he continued.

Weber said he “was emotional fromthat whole ending” ofThe Traitorsseason 2, which sawChris “CT” TamburelloandTrishelle Cannatellachoose to banish one more time after eliminating the final Traitor,Kate Chastain. TheChallengevets ultimately oustedMercedes “MJ” Javid, a fellow Faithful, leaving her without a cut of the final prize money.

Weber’s cunning instincts surprised viewers andTraitorshostAlan Cummingalike.

“Peter’s trajectory in the show is fascinating because it shows this whole theory that gamers from shows likeSurvivorandBig Brotherand everything are going to be much more predisposed to be good in the show; that’s clearly not true,” Cumming, 59, told PEOPLE. “Peter being the cutesy Bachelor has kind of worked it all out and was really kind of strategizing in a really amazing way.”
