The Traitors has returned for Season 4 (and Season 5 for that matter), which means the Scottish castle will be bustling with reality TV stars and celebrities.
As with the first three seasons, Peacock has tapped a slew of cast members from other reality TV series like Survivor, Big Brother, The Real Housewives and The Challenge, as well as a handful of off-the-wall celebs. Who will become the breakout stars of the season ala Dylan Efronor Kate Chastain? Who will be sent home before making it to a single banishment? Who will win best dressed? Only time will tell.
With season 4 already underway, you might be wondering about the cast. If you remember, several contestants during both Seasons 2 and 3 were held from the initial announcements to be dropped during the season as surprises.
While we don’t know which reality stars will be Traitors and Faithfuls during Season 4, we do know who is headed to Scotland. Here are 23 celebrities who make up the cast of The Traitors Season 4.

Candiace Dillard Bassett (The Real Housewives of Potomac)
The Traitors really does an excellent job of scooping up ex-Real Housewives. Candiace joined The Real Housewives of Potomac in Season 3 and was an integral part of the cast through Season 8 when she exited the franchise along with The Traitors Season 3 player Robyn Dixon. Candiace is sure to be a force during the Round Tables and would make an interesting Traitor.

Caroline Stanbury (The Real Housewives of Dubai)
Another of the four ex-Housewives (of the five Housewives competing) is Dubai‘s Caroline Stanbury. Originally on Ladies of London, Stanbury was the integral center cog of Dubai‘s launch. However, the franchise never really took off and was put on hiatus for two seasons. That didn’t stop Peacock from casting Chanel Ayan last season on The Traitors though and we’ll get more Dubai energy this season.
Colton Underwood (The Bachelor)
Colton Underwood is one of the more controversial bits of casting on The Traitors Season 4. After originally appearing on Season 14 of The Bachelorette, he returned as the lead of The Bachelor Season 23. Things devolved, however, when Cassie Randolph ended her relationship with Colton after the show. She was granted a restraining order against Colton, who she alleged was stalking her. He then came out as gay a year later and has since got married to a man and had a child. While past Bachelor Nation contestants like Peter Weber and Gabby Windey have been fan favorites, Colton seems like a more volatile force.

Donna Kelce (Travis & Jason Kelce’s mom)
Perhaps the most shocking bit of casting is Taylor Swift‘s boyfriend’s mother. The mother of professional NFL players Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce, Donna has not previously ventured into the world of reality competition shows, so she’s a bit of a wild card on the cast. Will she be a wallflower or will she bring some of that Reputation Era energy into the castle. Either way, we know Taylor will be watching this season.

Dorinda Medley (The Real Housewives of New York City)
After being the first player eliminated in Season 3, Dorinda is returning to Scotland for a second chance. The RHONY star saw fans outraged when she didn’t even make it to the first banishment, but hopefully her fate will be different this time. If the Traitors kill her first again, it will be the saddest, yet funniest, twist to the game so far.

Eric Nam (singer)
The Traitors loves to throw someone truly unexpected into the mix, and I don’t think anyone had their eyes on K-pop star Eric Nam as a potential cast member. The 36-year-old musician was born in Georgia but has primarily made a name for himself in Korea where he’s a singer and TV personality. He did compete in a show similar to The X Factor so he’s got some reality TV prowess, and should be an interesting mystery box for the gamers to deal with.

Ian Terry (Big Brother)
It wouldn’t be The Traitors without a Big Brother contestant and this season we’ll be treated to the lovable nerd and winner of Big Brother 14, Ian Terry. Ian will certainly be one of the strategic forces on this season of The Traitors, but he also seems like someone who could be easily steamrolled by bigger personalities. It should also be mentioned that he returned for the cursed Big Brother: All Stars season in 2020 that I’m constantly trying to forget.

Johnny Weir (Olympic figure skater)
Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir is a divine bit of casting because you know he’s going to bring some of the most outlandish wardrobe pieces we’ve ever seen on the show. Since Weir’s professional skating days ended, he’s competed on Master Chef, The Masked Singer and Dancing with the Stars, so he’s well-versed in reality TV. Peacock also geniously cast his best friend and collaborator Tara Lipinski, so we shall see what the duo is able to cook up here.

Kristen Kish (Top Chef)
It’s sort of surprising we haven’t had a Top Chef contestant on The Traitors yet given that it is another property in the NBCUniversal portfolio. Kish (who is Parade‘s latest cover star) won the 10th season of the show before ultimately returning as the host. It will be interesting to see how she fares in a non-cooking environment, especially one with notoriously mid food.

Lisa Rinna (The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills)
I am PRAYING TO GAY GOD ALAN CUMMING HIMSELF that Lisa Rinna is a Traitor this season. The RHOBH star is known for saying outlandish things and stirring the pot, and there’s no better individual to follow in the legacy of Phaedra Parks. Of this season’s Housewives, I think Lisa has the best shot at going far, and I can’t wait to see how navigates the castle.
Mark Ballas (Dancing with the Stars)
Professional dancer Mark Ballas is an interesting choice for this cast. While he’s a reality TV professional, Dancing with the Stars doesn’t really require much cutthroat strategy and the only other DWTS cast member to compete on The Traitors, Maksim Chmerkovsky, was banished in Episode 3. Mark feels a bit like canon fodder on this list, but perhaps he’ll be the Pilot Pete of the season.

Maura Higgins (Love Island)
Maura Higgins has done a LOT of reality TV. After appearing on the fifth season of Love Island in the UK, she appeared as a contestant on Dancing on Ice, Cooking with the Stars and I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! She’s also hosted several other reality shows. Coming from the UK circuit, Maura may be a bit more of a wildcard to the American cast, which could either help or hurt her.

Michael Rapaport (actor)
Another controversial figure on the cast is actor, podcast host and comedian Michael Rapaport. He’s appeared in shows like Prison Break, Friends, and My Name Is Earl, but has been in the news most recently as a vocal pro-Israel supporter. In the 1990s, he was also arrested for harassing his ex-girlfriend, actress Lili Taylor. It will be interesting to see if any of this makes its way onto the show or if any of the other contestants know his background.
Monét X Change (RuPaul’s Drag Race)
After Bob the Drag Queen‘s stint in Season 3, it makes total sense that we’d get another Drag Race alum. Monét is Bob’s podcast co-host and close friend so we shall see if she can learn from the mistakes of her sister and last longer in the game. She’s not as chatty as Bob so hopefully that will help her.

Porsha Williams (The Real Housewives of Atlanta)
Peacock is desperate to recapture that Phaedra Parks energy and snagging her Real Housewives of Atlanta co-star seems like a good way to try and bring that back. Porsha is certainly one to watch and could be another fun Traitor. If you’re looking for memes and viral TikTok sounds, Porsha is your girl.

Natalie Anderson (The Amazing Race)
Natalie Anderson may have started her reality career on The Amazing Race, but she’s most well known for winning Survivor: San Juan del Sur and making it to the final Tribal Council on Survivor: Winners at War. Natalie also competed on one season of The Challenge and will be one of this season’s biggest aids in the missions.

Rob Cesternino (Survivor)
While Survivor fans who just watch the show may not remember Rob Cesternino, he hasn’t competed since Season 8 after all, he is a fixture in the community, helming the massively successful podcast empire Rob Has A Podcast. He’ll have legions of online fans cheering for him and with a whole career devoted to watching reality TV, he’s likely the cast member with the most connections and useful information. If he’s not a Traitor though, he could be a tantalizing early murder victim.

Rob Rausch (Love Island USA)
Holding down the fort for the US side of Love Island is Rob Rausch, who competed on both Seasons 5 and 6 of the show. He’s also an influencer with over a million followers heading into the season. Rausch could be another solid addition to the Faithfuls more athletic core who can help them win some money.

Ron Funches (comedian)
Comedian and actor Ron Funches is a bit of a reality TV wild card, but he will certainly be entertaining to watch and hopefully he’ll bring some levity to the extremely tense Round Table segments. He’s appeared in shows like Undateable and Black-ish and has provided his voice to numerous animated shows and movies.

Stephen Colletti (actor)
Stephen Colletti is a bit of an odd choice in this list as he’s an actor, but hasn’t done much acting in the past few years. He’s most well known for playing Chase Adams on One Tree Hill, becoming a series regular for the last two seasons. He also appeared on Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County for two seasons and started a podcast with Kristin Cavallari. I have no idea what to expect from Stephen on The Traitors.

Tara Lipinski (Olympic figure skater)
Lowkey, Olympic gold medalist Tara Lipinski might be the most exciting bit of casting for Season 4. Her and Johnny Weir will certainly be targets early on due to the fact they’re an obvious duo, but if one of them is made a Traitor, we’re in for a very entertaining season of television. Lipinski is witty and a fierce competitor, not to mention a fashionista. Mark my words, she will be the breakout star of the season.
Tiffany Mitchell (Big Brother)
Tiffany is the first Big Brother player from more recent seasons to appear on The Traitors and she’s an excellent choice. Competing on Season 23, Tiffany was instrumental in forming the Cookout alliance and was voted America’s Favorite Player. Since then, she’s competed on The Challenge: USA so she’ll be another helpful force in the missions.

Yam Yam Arocho (Survivor)
After the success of Carolyn Wiger on last season of The Traitors, it only makes sense that the show would bring her equally chaotic alliance member and the winner of Survivor 44 to the Scottish castle. Yam Yam seems like perhaps too obvious of a choice for a Traitor, but either way, he will make some excellent television.
