Rob Rausch has been the talk of the 2026 TV schedule, thanks to his dominant run on The Traitors. However, now that that’s over, he’s finding new work and making headlines for it, as he recorded an audiobook for Quinn (you know, the app known for audio erotica). So, as that project was released, Dancing with the Stars Emma Slater and Ezra Sosa listened to a clip of it, and their reactions are truly priceless.

In an eleven-second video, the DWTS pros reacted to Rausch saying things like “fuck, you’re so beautiful it’s unreal.” It’s an incredibly sexual audio clip, and while Slater seemed to be turning red, Sosa can be seen with his jaw on the floor. Honestly, their reactions are so relatable. Take a look:

Personally I’m waiting for the new Alan Bersten audiobook 👀😉

Now, if you don’t know what Quinn is, hearing this audio would be jarring. I know this short clip left me blushing.

However, that’s likely the goal. Quinn is an audio erotica app that brings in very famous folks to record spicy, NSFW and romantic audiobooks. Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams did one not long after tons of people watched Heated Rivalry with an HBO Max subscription. Meanwhile, Tyriq Withers recorded one that was released around the same time as his movie Reminders of Him. The list also includes actors like The Summer I Turned Pretty’s Christopher Briney and Stranger ThingsJamie Campbell Bower. Now, Rob Rausch has been added to it.

His story is called “The Snake Handler,” and in it he plays Alex, “a guarded, tattooed snake handler (sound familiar?) who lives alone.” According to a post from Quinn and Bustle, Rausch is telling Alex’s story as he “remembers the night a big storm blew Paige into his life.” And, obviously, things get spicy, as that short audio clip proved.

Like Slater and Sosa, people in the comments were not prepared for the NSFW audiobook from Rausch. Here are some of their thoughts:

  • A volume warning would’ve been nice Emma -meech
  • HELP I WASNT READY FOR THE AUDIO 😭 -Maine Kaye
  • Manifesting him as your partner next season Emma -Shannon
  • What in the actual where can I buy this is this ???? -Templestok
  • EMMA THE CAPTION I JUST LOL -hannah

Yeah, with that last comment about the caption, we do indeed need to take a minute for that. Slater is dating fellow Dancing with the Stars pro Alan Bersten. So, as she posted this video of her reacting to a spicy audiobook, she also wrote:

Well, that sure got me laughing.

Anyways, along with this whole video being incredibly funny and a fantastic reaction to Rob Rausch’s latest career endeavour, it’s also a reminder that I want him on Dancing with the Stars. The pros want The Traitors winner on DWTS too! So, along with this video being funny by itself, it also feels like it's furthering the campaign to get the audiobook narrator into the ballroom.

Only time will tell if that dream becomes a reality. So, for now, Emma Slater and Ezra Sosa will keep dancing, seeing as the Dancing with the Stars tour is happening right now. Meanwhile, I’ll be curious to see what Rob Rausch decides to do next after being part of The Traitors Season 4 cast and recording this audiobook. Clearly, he likes to keep us on our toes, and I wouldn’t be surprised if his next project leaves our jaws on the floor just like Slater and Sosa’s were in their reaction video.
