People Didn't Always Realize Michael Rapaport Was Annoying?

When the fourth season cast of, "The Traitors," was announced, I immediately rolled my eyes at seeing Michael Rapaport in the cast. He's been around for decades as a well-known loudmouth who is, to put it plainly, unlikeable. He's just an annoying blowhard who is gifted at saying the wrong thing at the worst possible time. I wasn't surprised that in these earliest episodes of, "The Traitors," everyone hasn't been sure whether he's a distracting and terrible Faithful who sucks at the game or a Traitor who struggles to keep his cover. Well--spoiler alert--he was voted out at the end of the last episode after continuously royally pissing everyone off. 

The, "Straw that broke the camel's back," was him accusing Colton Underwood of being a Traitor and saying Underwood's many years in the closet (he was on, "The Bachelorette and the lead on The Bachelor," before he came out) made him good at keeping secrets. Rapaport tried to walk back what he said and apologize but the main excels at throwing out verbal grenades and attempting to shrug off the shrapnel--he's done it for a long time. It just was strange for people to be, "Surprised," at Rapaport being a pain in the ass because that's basically his whole gimmick. As I mentioned, Underwood and everyone agreed at the end of the episode that, regardless of whether Rapaport was a Traitor or Faithful, he needed to go. I'd say it's for the best of everyone's sanity.
