Peter Weberwent from looking for love onThe Bachelorto seeking out Traitors onThe Traitors.
But on Thursday, his time in the castle came to an end whenMercedes “MJ” Javidcast the final vote for Weber’s banishment, ousting him over TraitorPhaedra Parks.
Weber, 32, then revealed himself as a Faithful and acknowledged his aggressive gameplay.
“I know I’ve been all gas, no breaks since the beginning,” Weber said on the show after being banished. “I’m a Faithful ‘til the end. I tried to save you guys.”

“Watching it back, obviously hindsight’s 20/20, and I probably should’ve don’t a better job of not ostracizing so much of the castle the way that it kind of happened,” Weber said on a February episode ofThe Viall Filespodcast.
Weber explained to fellow former BachelorNick Viallthat he “went into the game not trying to find the Traitors,” but rather, “I wanted to go in and find who can I give my 100 percent trust to.”
“Once I decided that and committed to that, I was committed the entire game,” Weber continued. “So If I was wrong, so be it. But I was willing to do … once I gave that commitment to people and felt like, OK, I think we’re on the same page here, I was willing to go to the end of the game with them. And it just, it became unfortunate again because obviously people’s feelings kind of got hurt and watching it back, I’m like, oh I shouldn’t have maybe closed that door in their faces so much.”

When Shallow, 41, and Parks, 50, had a chance to recruit another Traitor following 40-year-old Gheesling’s banishment, they tried to woo Weber. He turned them down.
“I had a very good idea that it was Parvati and it was Phaedra at that point that had sent me that recruitment letter,” Weber said onThe Viall Files. “And I just didn’t want to throw my game and put a wrench in it at that moment.”
TheAdventures of Pilot Peteauthor told PEOPLE ahead of the season 2 premiere that he hoped his turn onThe Traitorsshowed viewers a new side of him.
“I did a very different show a couple of years ago,” Weber said ofThe Bachelor. “I’d always wanted to do a cool, fun competition show, and being very competitive, this is right up my alley.”
Despite Weber not making it to the end of the game, hostAlan Cumminglaudedthe reality star’s gameplay.
“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.”Never miss a story — sign up forPEOPLE’s free daily newsletterto stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.
