The Traitors has undoubtedly become a water cooler moment, which isn't easy to do in this era of streaming and endless viewing options. But the Peacock reality show, named the most-watched unscripted streaming series of 2024 so far, brings together legends from the reality television landscape and beyond into one epic competition show full of deceit, twists, and endless meme-worthy moments—making it appointment TV at this point.
Now that season 2 has officially come to an end, viewers are already coming up with their dream casts for upcoming seasons—particularly season 3, which has already been announced. While there is an infinite amount of legendary reality stars and celebrities to choose from, we came up with 40 names we'd love to see competing on season 3 of The Traitors. (Season 4 or 5 works, too, because in what world will this show not endure?)
Monica Garcia ('The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City')
Monica won't be returning to RHOSLC, which means she'll go down as one of the most impactful one-season wonders in Housewives history. That she was able to keep a giant secret from her entire cast, all of production, millions of viewers, and Bravo itself—and the fact that she was one of the people behind an Instagram troll account and still made it into the show—makes her a perfect fit for The Traitors.
Rob 'Boston Rob' Mariano ('Survivor')
Boston Rob is one of the most legendary Survivor players of all time, having played five times—including one win and one runner-up run, in which he eventually lost to his wife, Amber. The couple also played The Amazing Race twice, placing second one of those times. Rob is hyper-competitive, disarming, and a great gamer, which makes him primed for the Traitors castle.
Kristin Cavallari ('Laguna Beach,' 'The Hills')
During her MTV run in the early- to mid-2000s, Kristin proved she wasn't afraid to be the villain. Her mere presence stirred the pot—and she was never afraid of confrontation—which makes her a great candidate for The Traitors. It's no secret that she wouldn't be afraid to accuse someone of being a Traitor at the Roundtable.
Rachel Lindsay ('The Bachelorette')
Rachel will go down as one of the most memorable and history-making leads in Bachelor Nation history. Fresh off of a shocking divorce—and on top of her successful podcast, in which she analyzes Bravo shows—Rachel would bring an informed, level-headed presence to the show that could take her to the end as an effective Faithful.
Craig Conover ('Southern Charm')
There's no question that Craig is compelling television, having been a staple throughout nine seasons of Bravo's Charleston-set reality show, but we've yet to see him in a competition show setting. As a well-known tinfoil-hat-wearing conspiracy theorist, Craig could make for a highly entertaining Faithful with a competitive spirit to boot.
Da'Vonne Rogers ('Big Brother')
Da'Vonne is a three-time Big Brother competitor whose best placement was tenth place, but she's made an even bigger impact as a beloved fan-favorite who's the face of more than a few memes. She would bring humor and heart to the castle, winning over millions of more fans in the process.
Jason Kelce (NFL Player)
What better way to follow up a solid career in the NFL than with an appearance in an entirely different—but no less cutthroat—competitive environment? By joining The Traitors, Jason would have the opportunity to continue winning the hearts of America fresh off of his retirement announcement. We know he has heart, making him an ideal Faithful candidate.
Spencer Pratt ('The Hills')
As one of the most notorious villains in reality TV history, Spencer is made for this show. Making him a Traitor is the obvious choice, because you just know he would find a way to snake his way out of the sights of the Faithfuls while still stealing the spotlight. The epitome of a reality TV pro.
Heidi Pratt (née Montag) ('The Hills')
If you have Spencer, you also need Heidi. Otherwise, you wouldn’t get Speidi! Season 2 gave us a short-lived experiment of casting known couple Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen, but Marcus was murdered early, robbing viewers of seeing how the dynamic would play out. Putting both Spencer and Heidi on the show together would provide an even more riveting version of that experiment.
Taylor Hale ('Big Brother')
Taylor made history when she won Big Brother season 24, a win made even more impressive by the fact that she was bullied and outcast by her competitors early in the season. She powered through, proving to be an adept competitor and social gamer, ultimately winning not only just the game but also the title of "America's Favorite Houseguest." A certified fan-favorite, Taylor would be a total Faithful magnet and incredibly fun to watch.
Christine Quinn ('Selling Sunset')
I mean, could you imagine the outfits alone? Christine's divisive run on Netflix's West Hollywood-set soapy real estate show, Selling Sunset, came to an end a few seasons ago, making her a free agent. It would be interesting to see her in a completely different setting, test whether she could also intimidate reality stars from other arenas, and watch how she handles a Roundtable (especially since she skipped her last Selling Sunset reunion).
Stassi Schroeder ('Vanderpump Rules')
Stassi is a huge reason why early Pump Rules seasons made for such iconic reality TV. While she was eventually fired from the show in disgrace, she has since owned up to her mistakes and is due for a return to the medium. Famously outspoken and obsessed with murder mysteries, Stassi would lean into the campiness of the show—and you can just see her eating someone alive at a Roundtable.
John Cochran ('Survivor')
Perhaps one of the most book-smart contestants to ever play Survivor, John proved his reality TV competition bonafides when he won the show on his second go around. The Columbia University and Harvard Law graduate would bring intellect and nerdiness charm to the Traitors castle, but is that enough to get someone to the end? Let's find out, Peacock, shall we?
Tiffany Mitchell ('Big Brother')
Tiffany was the mastermind behind one of the most ingenious alliances in reality TV history when she formed "The Cookout" on season 23 of Big Brother. The groundbreaking, six-person group was formed during the first week of the competition, in the hopes of producing the show's first-ever Black winner. The fact that all six of them outlasted their competitors to successfully make it to the top six and deliver on their mission speaks to the vision that Tiffany had. Who knows what she could come up with inside the Traitors castle, but we'd absolutely love to see it.
Scott Disick ('Keeping Up With The Kardashians')
Scott being on a show like The Traitors would probably prove to be stunt casting—and he likely wouldn't end up being much of a factor—but...what if he were? This would be his opportunity to surprise viewers, make a star-making run far into the game, and step back into the spotlight in a big way. Hey, you never know!
Marlo Hampton ('The Real Housewives of Atlanta')
Marlo recently announced that she wouldn't be returning to RHOA, which makes this a prime opportunity for her to jump into another reality TV universe. She'd bring the fashion, the reads, and her undeniable X factor.
Carson Cressley ('Queer Eye,' 'RuPaul’s Drag Race')
Carson has been a constant presence on TV since the debut of the original Queer Eye two decades ago, and he's never skipped a beat on screen. He would bring irresistible humor and charm to the castle that would totally disarm his competitors—which could actually make him an unsuspected Traitor.
Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi ('Jersey Shore')
Traitors are heeeerrreeee!!! We all know and love Snooki, a mononymous reality star for the ages. It would be oh so intriguing to see how she would operate inside the Traitors castle: Would she be hilariously tapped out or would she be unexpectedly locked in? The only way to find out is to send her over to Scotland.
Cody Rigsby (Peloton)
The Peloton cycling instructor with an outsize, infectious personality would be hard to ignore in the Traitors castle, even if he wound up being one of the few non-reality stars in the cast. Something tells us that Cody would make for a fierce competitor during the missions and at the Roundtable.
Meghan King Edmonds ('The Real Housewives of Orange County')
Meghan's name is often brought up in Bravo circles when Real Housewives find themselves in detective mode, trying to uncover the truth about their co-stars. In fact, she's largely credited as one of the first to put on her detective hat and rightly question Brooks Ayers' claim that he had cancer—making us wonder how she would fare as a Faithful trying to pinpoint the truth about who among her is a Traitor.
Tiffany 'New York' Pollard ('Flavor of Love,' 'I Love New York')
New York's status as one of the most legendary reality TV stars of all time has been more than cemented at this point, so why not see how she fares in the Traitors castle? At the very least, casting her would result in epic conflict within the group, but perhaps we'd even get a feud to rival her iconic tiff with Gemma Collins from Celebrity Big Brother.
Gemma Collins ('Celebrity Big Brother')
Speaking of, why not add Gemma to the mix? She's essentially the British Trisha Paytas—always making headlines for something—and you just know she wouldn't be able to help herself on The Traitors. It feels like it would be a match made in heaven, if you ask us.
Michele Fitzgerald ('Survivor')
Many serious fans of Survivor questioned whether Michele deserved her season 32 win, which has landed her subsequent appearances on The Challenge, where she's seemingly tried to prove her worth. While we think anyone who wins any show earned it, the chip that Michele carries on her shoulder makes her presence in any competition extra gripping—and we're itching to see how she'd operate in the Traitors castle.
Derrick Levasseur ('Big Brother')
Derrick made a memorable run to the $500,000 prize on season 16 of Big Brother, but it's been a decade since he's been on reality TV. That, coupled with the fact that he's a private investigator, would make his return to the medium via The Traitors very intriguing. He'd have a huge target on his back and it would be up to him to prove whether or not he could shake it off.
Lindsay Hubbard ('Summer House')
The original cast member of Bravo's Hamptons-set reality series has been known to get "activated" when someone crosses her, a quality that would make her entertaining to watch at the Roundtable. Her competitive nature would also lend itself well to the game overall—so send her to Scotland, Peacock!
Quad Webb ('Married to Medicine')
Quad is an undeniable star who knows how to make entertaining reality television. She famously brought a plaque that said "delusional" on it to her first reunion, so she could hold it up whenever one of her co-stars said something, well, delusional. Imagine seeing that kind of iconic behavior at a Roundtable!
Kelley Wentworth ('Survivor')
Kelley's best showing in her three appearances on Survivor may have been fourth place, but she's become a huge fan-favorite from more modern seasons of the long-running CBS hit. She's not afraid of taking risks or putting her neck on the line for the sake of gameplay, which makes her a compelling choice to appear on The Traitors.
Shea Coulee ('RuPaul's Drag Race')
Shea is one of the biggest stars to come out of the premiere reality TV drag competition series. She's an all-around queen who's able to turn out performances, humor, and more—and we'd love to see how she'd fare in the Traitors castle. And, yes, we're also desperate to see the looks she'd serve.
Kelly Cutrone ('The Hills')
What's not to love about Kelly? Regardless of the environment that she's in, the fashion PR industry legend—who was famously Lauren Conrad's no-BS boss on The Hills—is never not herself, making her a rare completely authentic reality presence. She probably wouldn't care how she did on The Traitors, which makes the prospect of her being cast on the show even more exciting.
Andy Roddick (ATP Player)
The former professional tennis player might feel like a random pick, but Traitors production has proven that they like casting curveball athletes each season. (Remember season 1's Ryan Lochte?) Andy is highly competitive, intelligent, and is very engaged on social media, all of which feel like solid Traitors qualities. After all, it's a show, meaning some of the biggest scene-stealers know how to play to the crowd on social media.
Lala Kent ('Vanderpump Rules')
The outspoken former host at Lisa Vanderpump's restaurant SUR is, we think, a prime candidate to be sent to the Traitors castle in Scotland. Lala famously embraces conflict, but she's also grown to know when to pick her moments, lock in, and tear someone a new one. Her social awareness would serve her well in the castle, and her ability to read people's behavior—and call it out—would very likely take her far in the game.
Candiace Dillard-Bassett ('The Real Housewives of Potomac')
Candiace is one of the most skilled confessional artists of the modern Housewives era, which would make her a standout on The Traitors. She's one of the Real Housewives that could win over legions of more fans if she were exposed to a more general reality TV audience—and a successful stint in the castle would help her do just that.
Ben Higgins ('The Bachelor')
The uber-popular former Bachelor lead would bring the level-headed, analytical presence to The Traitors that every season needs. While big personalities make for good TV, low-key people like Ben make for good gameplay—and it's exactly that balance that makes this show so entertaining to watch. (Let's not forget how Bachelor's under-the-radar "Pilot Pete" became a standout—and ultimately, polarizing—player during season 2.)
Lisa Barlow ('The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City')
There's just something about Lisa that makes us want to see her on every reality TV show in existence. We've witnessed Baby Gorgeous accidentally come up with countless iconic one-liners, serve epic looks, and spar with her co-stars on RHOSLC, but how much of that would translate over to The Traitors? Who's to say? But we'd very much like to find out.
Kaysar Ridha ('Big Brother')
While Kaysar never had a particularly far run on any of his three Big Brother seasons, he undeniably made an impact on the game, aligning with a lot of the right people and proving to be a fan-favorite. We'd love see him get another shot at victory and prove his worth on The Traitors.
Amanza Smith ('Selling Sunset')
Hear me out. Amanza might not be the biggest fan-favorite on Selling Sunset, but her presence has grown on the show due to her willingness to create conflict, embrace confrontation, and, yes, turn out an unforgettable look. Something tells us she would be a sleeper pick on The Traitors.
Xavier Prather ('Big Brother')
Xavier proved himself to be an adept gameplayer and skilled competitor when he won season 23 of Big Brother as part of "The Cookout" alliance—making him the first Black winner in the show's history. We certainly wouldn't mind seeing him operate inside the Traitors castle, where he'd likely once again prove his skill at choosing his moments.
McKayla Maroney (Olympic Gymnast)
McKayla Maroney became an instant household name as part of the Fierce Five: the iconic U.S. gymnastics squad at the 2012 Summer Olympics. She went viral twice over—once for her perfect vault and then for the face she made when she got a silver medal in the event—so why not check in with her in the form of a Traitors appearance? Something tells us she would kill it at the missions.
Felicia Cannon ('Big Brother')
Felicia may not have been the most skilled gamer on Big Brother, but she is one of the most memorable people to play the game in recent years. She'd bring undeniable entertainment value to The Traitors with her shady asides, hilarious quips, and tell-it-like-it-is realness.
Alana 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson ('Toddlers & Tiaras')
Now that the viral star is officially 18, we'd love to see her take the opportunity to rebrand herself and embrace her status as reality TV royalty on the big stage that is The Traitors. Who knows how good she would be at the game, but Alana has been through a lot in her young life, so it would be a compelling conceit for her to give it a try.
