Dylan Efron, AKA Miss Guided, has become a standout faithful on this season of ‘The Traitors’—so much so that we’d trust him with any advice he has to offer. The producer slash brother of Zac Efron takes the hot seat to react to real-life Cosmo Confessays, dishing out his thoughts on everything from being the nosy person at a restaurant (yep, that’s actually him) to helping out bad kissers. Watch as Dylan is asked to choose between the impossible—Bob the Drag Queen or Boston Rob, ‘High School Musical’ 1 or 2—and find out why he’s not down for any camping hookups.

00:00I honestly didn't even remember getting called misguided, so I'm like s***, I'm misguided, I guess.
00:07Hi, I'm Dylan Ephron, and this is If It Were Me with Cosmo.
00:13Today, I'm going through real-life confessions from Cosmo readers and telling you how I would handle them.
00:18I can be really honest, but I'm also kind of just aloof and dumb in a lot of areas.
00:22I think people appreciate my help, and I'm always willing to give it.
00:26Never going to claim it's right.
00:27Let's get started. It's getting juicy.
00:29Real-life traitor. My roommate and I started out as great friends until I made out with his crush while he was away.
00:36How do I address this without ruining our living situation and making things awkward?
00:42If you guys are great friends, this isn't the end of the world. It was a crush.
00:46Yeah, you messed up, own it, be honest with your friend.
00:49You're not a traitor, you just messed up.
00:52We all make mistakes.
00:53It's not like it was a fiancé or something.
00:56Up the stakes, this is too easy.
00:59Kiss of death. I found out my girlfriend has been telling our mutual friends that I'm a bad kisser, but she has yet to be honest with me.
01:06How do I confront her?
01:08That's an easy one, too. Just go practice, and then just wow her.
01:14Do your job. If you know it, it doesn't matter how you got the feedback, but you got it. Go freaking work on it.
01:22I don't know how you get practice. Maybe find a mirror.
01:27Watch a YouTube video. You can learn anything on YouTube.
01:30Right now, your girlfriend has very low expectations of you. I relate to this on traitors.
01:34My expectations were very low. You don't have to do a lot.
01:38There's only room to improve. That's the goal. Set the bar low and then exceed expectations.
01:45Frappe faux pas.
01:46My boyfriend only orders frappuccinos with extra whipped cream and chocolate drizzle, and it gives me such an ick.
01:54Should I break up with him?
01:57Yes.
02:00Your boyfriend's ordering frappuccinos with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle every day?
02:07It's such a red flag.
02:09Yeah, I'm just envisioning him with a cherry on top and picking it off with his mouth.
02:14It's so goofy.
02:17The nosy appetite.
02:18Every time we're at a restaurant, my boyfriend asks the table next to us what they ordered.
02:23Sorry. That's definitely me.
02:27I got eagle eyes when I walk in. I'm looking around.
02:30He thinks it's a fun conversation starter, but I find it so cringe.
02:33How do I stop this without hurting his feelings?
02:37Let him be him. Come on. That's me.
02:40When I walk into a restaurant, it's like seeing a Yelp page.
02:43I'm looking around, and I'm like, oh, okay, the meatballs look good. Don't order the salad.
02:49I totally understand it, but maybe on his end, if he gets feedback, he can internalize that.
02:56He doesn't have to voice his opinion when he sees the salad and the meatballs.
02:59He can just look around.
03:01Do you make conversations with the table next to you, or are you just looking?
03:05I think it depends. If they look nice, I might start up a conversation.
03:10Luckily, I don't think it's my girlfriend's egg.
03:14Brother lover.
03:15I introduced the new girl I'm dating to my family, and she seemed to really hit it off with my brother.
03:20Maybe a little too much.
03:22She hasn't stopped asking questions about him since.
03:24Should I be concerned?
03:26Probably.
03:29If it's love eyes at my brother, yeah, there's something wrong.
03:33You two get a room.
03:35But if it's genuine, and she's actually interested in your family, that's amazing.
03:39They need to have a conversation. Why are they writing into this?
03:42It's not for you, it's for your brother.
03:44If he's into it, that's great.
03:46While we're talking about brothers, what was Zach's reaction to Bob the Drag Queen calling him a bad actor?
03:51Look, my family's been super supportive.
03:53We've got a chain text. They're all enjoying it.
03:55For me, I'm an avoidant. I'm so not an arguer.
03:59When he said that, Bob is an amazing actor. I grew up with an actor.
04:04Not a good one.
04:06I was trying to argue and keep it in the game, and as soon as it was brought out of the game,
04:10I was just like, oh wow, he took it there.
04:12It just got quiet.
04:15That's the crazy part about watching the show back.
04:18There's big moments I knew would be huge.
04:21Bob and Rob going at it, I knew that was going to be a massive moment.
04:25I honestly didn't even remember getting called misguided.
04:29I'm like, s***, I'm misguided, I guess.
04:32I think you see my reaction. I was just like, what the f***?
04:36Three campers, one tent.
04:38I went camping with a group of friends and caught some of them having a threesome.
04:42They are each in respective relationships and beg me not to say anything.
04:46How do I handle this without causing chaos?
04:49There's so much going on with this.
04:51It just went one direction, then it went another direction.
04:54The first question is, why are they having a threesome in a tent?
04:57If anyone's gone camping, no one's at their best when they're camping.
05:00We're all smelly, we are all gross.
05:03And the fact that they're having a threesome, there's some dirty friends we got.
05:06And they're in relationships, it just keeps getting worse.
05:09Look, if you want to handle this without causing chaos, you just don't speak up.
05:13Let your friends have a threesome in a tent.
05:16I'm not making a move on a camping first date.
05:19You can have a very special moment and maybe make out.
05:24It's the same, you don't have sex on the beach, you don't have sex when you're camping.
05:28That's my stance.
05:30Exclusively mistaken.
05:32After the guy I was seeing made it clear we weren't exclusive, I ended up making out with someone else.
05:38He then accused me of cheating.
05:40Who's to blame for messing up our relationship?
05:42If you make it clear you're not in an exclusive relationship, she had every right to go make out with someone.
05:48It's not cheating.
05:49He wanted to be in an open relationship, he didn't want his girl to be in an open relationship.
05:53And that's not fair.
05:54So I don't think she did anything wrong.
05:56I think the guy saying that's cheating, that's messed up for him to say.
06:01Doesn't sound like they're off to a hot start.
06:04Now it's time for the quickie.
06:06Clock starts now.
06:08Traitor or faithful?
06:09Faithful, easy.
06:10High school musical one or two?
06:13Two for the golf.
06:14Date night in or date night out?
06:15In all day.
06:16Boston Rob or Bob the Drag Queen?
06:18You can't make me choose that.
06:20Down to earth or high maintenance?
06:22Definitely, I'm down to earth.
06:25Hiking or beach day?
06:26Beach day.
06:27Kiss on the first date or wait and feel it out?
06:29Kiss if you got it.
06:30Solo workout or workout buddy?
06:32I always do solo workouts, but workout buddies are so much better.
06:36PDA or keep it private?
06:37You do you.
06:39Break up via text or in person?
06:43Text.
06:44No, I'm kidding.
06:46Thanks so much for watching.
06:47I had a lot of fun.
