A few weeks ago, ahead of the official reveal of the season 50 cast of Survivor, the Internet cobbled together a rumored lineup that ended up being 100 percent accurate. Whether the rumored cast for season 4 of The Traitors proves just as spot-on remains to be seen—but there’s already some compelling evidence, especially a few contestants’ recent travel to Scotland, where the new season is about to begin filming.
Most of the alleged cast doesn’t surprise me — it’s the expected mix of reality stars and C-listers, including Lisa Rinna; Big Brother alumni Ian Terry and Tiffany Mitchell; and Survivor veterans Rob Cesternino, Natalia Anderson, and Yam Yam Arocho (an absolute delight of a human who is going to get eaten alive on that show). Also rumored: Colton Underwood from The Bachelor, Mark Ballas of Dancing with the Stars fame, Housewives Candiace Dillard Bassett, Porsha Williams, and Dorinda Medley, plus Olympic figure skaters Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski.
But then there are a few names that make me raise an eyebrow. Kristen Kish from Top Chef seems like a strange fit—she’s far too kind, and casting her as a traitor would either be inspired or catastrophic. Same with comedian/actor Ron Funches, who doesn’t exactly scream “backstabbing mastermind.”
And then there’s Donna Kelce—the mother of Travis and Jason Kelce, which is the wildest rumor of them all. That said, there is some smoke: the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast posted a TikTok of the two of them talking about The Traitors, with the wink-wink caption: “Reposting this for no reason whatsoever.”
Just imagine Donna Kelce on that show. Who would dare vote her out? Whoever made that move would get dragged by not only the Kelce brothers but Taylor Swift Nation. And honestly? I want that chaos. Cast beloved Kristen Kish, Ron Funches, and Donna Kelce as the traitors and watch the world melt down when they’re sent packing.
Here’s the complete rumored list.
