I figured we’d get information on Season 4 of The Traitors this week, however oh my Lord, candy child Jesus, not Ekin Su was I shocked by the checklist that dropped this morning. A couple of of the names (Dorinda Medley, Lisa Rinna, Porsha Williams, Maura Higgins) have been bouncing round for a sizzling minute, however a variety of others are fully out of left discipline. Travis Kelce’s mother Donna appears to be the large WTF most individuals are speaking about, however she’s not my largest shock. That will be Survivor favourite and podcasting extraordinaire Rob Cesternino.
Earlier than I get into why I’m so blown away although, let’s speak about the entire forged, which, I’ve to emphasize, is rumored proper now. The alleged leak got here from Actuality TV Information/ Updates on X this morning, however not like most rumors, followers are taking this very severely, as are individuals within the actuality group. That’s as a result of the supply is often dependable with their data, and there’s additionally been some corresponding social posts the previous few days that appear to again up at the very least a few of the names.
Let’s simply run down the entire alleged forged. From Survivor, we have now Rob, Natalie Anderson and Yam Yam Arocho. From Actual Housewives, it’s Dorinda, Lisa, Porsha and Candiace Bassett. From Large Brother, it’s Ian Terry and Tiffany Mitchell. Plus, we’re supposedly getting Mama Kelce, Mark Ballas from DWTS, determine skater Johnny Weir, Monet X Change from Drag Race, Colton Underwood from The Bachelor, singer Eric Nam and the aforementioned Higgins from Love Island.
Even when everybody on this checklist is 100% correct, there are virtually actually names lacking too. The final two US variations of The Traitors have had twenty-two and twenty-three individuals. There are solely sixteen names on this checklist. Even when they reduce somewhat, it’s laborious to think about they’d reduce a lot. So, search for at the very least a number of surprises to be named later.
No matter who they’re although, I’m stoked as a Traitors fan and as a Survivor fan, significantly about Rob Cesternino. He, in fact, performed Survivor twice within the present’s early seasons, then launched a podcast empire known as Rob Has A Podcast that’s the go-to supply of stories for a lot of within the actuality competitors group. He was closely rumored to be a part of the Survivor 50 forged however was lower late within the course of like so many legends. Most followers assumed he’d most likely by no means enter the casting course of once more, however then out of nowhere, his identify confirmed up this morning.
One of the best half about The Traitors is what number of fanbases the present can deliver collectively. This forged is a good instance of that. There’s all of the illustration from Housewives, Survivor, Large Brother and extra that you simply’d need, however to my delight, there are additionally so many random individuals right here you’d by no means count on, which I like. As an enormous determine skating and wild outfit fan, I’m significantly stoked to see Johnny Weir. He’s the perfect and can virtually actually go even larger than host Alan Cumming along with his outfits.
Lisa Rinna seemingly confirmed her casting with an Instagram story with baggage and a passport. It’s unclear whether or not the opposite alleged forged members are presently within the technique of touring to the citadel in Scotland, however hopefully we get some extra of those semi-confirmations at this time. I’d additionally take an official casting checklist if Peacock desires to be beneficiant and drop one.
There’s part of me that’s stopping myself from being all capital letters EXCITED till it’s official. To be trustworthy although, I’m decrease capital letters excited and can’t watch for this season.
