'Traitors' winner Rob Rausch won't reveal price tag on Maura Higgins' Birkin

Warning: The following contains major spoilers for the Season 4 finale of "The Traitors."

Though time can heal all wounds, Rob Rausch and Maura Higgins are proof that a designer bag can certainly speed up the process.

The two are all good after the gripping, shattering betrayal in "The Traitors" Season 4 finale, a moment immediately cemented in reality TV history. The "Love Island" alums were the last of 23 players standing in the murder mystery competition series after leaning on each other throughout the season.

Higgins was absolutely confident that her closest ally, Rausch, was also a faithful, repeatedly shutting down any suspicions raised. Cameras zoomed in on the shock, hurt and anger on her face when the Alabama snake wrangler revealed he had been a traitor the entire game and that her gut instincts had ultimately failed her.

Maura Higgins 'was in complete disbelief' during 'Traitors' season finale

"You can clearly see on the screen. I went through every emotion under the sun. I was in complete disbelief. I was in shock. Then got angry, then I looked sad, and then I just forgave," Higgins tells USA TODAY before clarifying. "I don't forgive fully until I get my Birkin."

Rausch promised to buy her a gift, and Higgins says she would not settle for anything less than a Hermès Birkin handbag as her consolation prize. And so she sent him a picture of the exact fashion accessory she chose, with a prize tag Rausch declined to disclose. (Birkin bag prices generally range from $13,500 to over $300,000.)

With the help of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Lisa Rinna's connections, Rausch confirmed that the bag is coming, and Higgins teased that an Instagram reveal is on the way.

"I'm not angry. Like, I know it's just the game … And I'm proud of myself. I'm really, really proud of myself for taking it with grace," she says. "He did the job very well. His job was to manipulate the faithfuls and he smashed it."

Rob Rausch's girlfriend has seen 'The Traitors'

In the finale, Higgins told Rausch that he would "never get a girlfriend after this," pointing out his adept ability to lie. Rausch later quipped to the cameras that he hopes to start a romance with someone who doesn't watch much TV.

Rausch tells USA TODAY that he and his new girlfriend have watched a few episodes together and that she enjoyed the season. He denied there being any trust issues on her behalf despite watching his Academy Award-worthy performance as a traitor.

"I think anyone that truly knows me and my character doesn't have to worry about that kind of stuff," he says.

While he certainly played into being a chill dude who's just there for a good time, the people who actually know him weren't surprised to see him thrive in the game. "I'm pretty good with games," he says.

Could Rob Rausch compete on 'Survivor' and win it all, too?

Despite being a reality TV personality, he is not a particular fan of the genre, though he says he used to watch the older seasons of "Survivor."

"I've always thought I could win 'Survivor.' That's the only reality show I watched when I was younger. I watched some of the older seasons. And I was like, 'Man, I can kill this.' I think I could win the show," he says.

Though he has proven to be a physical, strategic, and social competitor capable of winning a game like "Survivor," he worries his strong performance on "The Traitors" has exposed his threat level, suggesting he would likely be voted out.

He would love to play in a "Survivor All-Stars" type season so he can blend in.

Eric Nam recruits Maura Higgins for song about Rob Rausch

Higgins wasn't the only person who felt betrayed in the series. At the final three, Rausch voted out his fellow traitor, Eric Nam, whom he recruited to join him.

In the series, Rausch says he wouldn't split his $220,800 with someone he just met a couple of days ago, though now he tells USA TODAY, "We're cool."

On a Feb. 28 Instagram post, the pop singer gave Rausch a shout-out for giving his new song "How the Fire Started" a whole new meaning. Higgins, Rausch and other "Traitors" castmates Natalie Anderson, Ron Funches and Yam Yam Aroncho are in the music video for the song.

He says it's the least Rausch could do after betraying at the last moment. Nam also revealed Rausch sent him a direct message after the series, saying, "My fault, G," to which Nam replied, "All good, man."

"People always ask, 'Would you have turned on Rob? No, like that's just not the person that I am. If I trust you, I trust you, and if you say you're one thing, then I believe you," Nam says. "Rob and I were out until like 6 a.m. the other night … we're good. But for the purposes of this song, I hate him."

Nam also jokes that "if Maura gets a Birkin" from Rausch, then he wants a Rolex.

Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski on what they could have done differently

Olympic skaters and best friends Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski don't have many regrets about leaving the castle. The pair were each other's rock throughout the game, but maintained a heavy distance from each other in front of the cast to remain undetected. While they were both banished in the finale, they are proud of making it as far as they did and ultimately figuring out who the traitors were.

Looking back, Lipnski does not believe there was anything she could have told Higgins to have her turn on Rausch. During their conversations, she thought it was a "50-50" shot that Higgins could see that Nam and Rausch were the traitors.

"I thought I had her 100%, naively, the first time I went to her before the roundtable," she says. "I went back to Johnny like we won the game. We literally just won the game. I was so confident."

Overall, Weir and Lipinski enjoyed their time on the series and have nothing but praise for Rausch and his treacherous solo victory.

"Rob needs to be applauded. There's nothing nice or kind about this game except for perhaps Tara and me with each other, but he did a masterful job, and he took the time to make everyone feel included," Weir says.

The pair still believes they would easily clock the other if the other were a traitor, with Lipnski saying, "within one look, we would have known."

"I think a lot of people think that of their friends but Tara is my best friend," Weir says. "We have body language and signals and looks we do to each other. I would have known immediately and had I been a traitor I would have protected her until the very end. And when one of us wins, we both would have won."

What's next for the cast of 'The Traitors'?

Nam, a beloved singer in Korea, was hopeful that joining "The Traitors" would expose him to mainstream American audiences. Now he's keeping the momentum going with various upcoming projects.

He voiced the titular character in the upcoming "Avatar: The Last Airbender" animated movie, is starring in a Paramount romance movie, and is cast in a feature adaptation of "Loser" starring Julia Fox and Lucas Gage.

"Hopefully, this is the start of a lot of different avenues where people can see what I'm up to and keep up with me," he adds.

Higgins is not done with Hollywood as she teases "exciting conversations with huge execs and producers in the scripted world."

As for Rausch, he looks forward to returning to his home state of Alabama, away from the spotlight, and to living as private a life as possible, given his reputation as a polarizing "Love Island" heartthrob and now the winner of an Emmy-winning reality series.

"Spring is coming," he says. "It's around the corner, and I cannot wait to enjoy that with my friends and family."
