The Traitorsseason 3 is just around the corner, andI’m convinced this season could be the best yet if these cast members are selected as the Traitorsin the game. Throughout its run,The Traitorshas made some interesting changes to the game. The first season ofthe series in the US featured a castmixed with reality TV stars and civilians, which was vastly different than the show’s UK counterpart, comprised of a civilian cast playing the game. Personally, the reality TV star route makes the most sense for the scope of the US version of the game.
While the first season mixed reality TV personalities with regular everyday people,The Traitorsseason 2decided to go all-in on the reality TV side of the game. With a cast comprised of reality TV royalty from all different areas of the genre,many were excited to see some of their favorite competitive players try their hand at a whole new game. While I’m partial toBig Brotherstars Dan Gheesling and Janelle Pierzina, it was interesting to see other stars likeThe Bachelorstar Peter Weber andRHOA’sPhaedra Parks take on the challenge of an intense strategy game.
AsThe Traitorsseason 3approaches, most viewers have been aware of the cast since well before the season was filmed, and some will likely fare better than others in the game. The new cast, which features another mix of legendary personalities, is predominantly comprised of reality TV stars along with a few big names in entertainment. The majority ofThe Traitorsseason 3 cast appears like they have the skills to take on the game well, but some would make better Faithfuls than Traitors.The Traitorsseason 3 could be the best yet if certain cast members are Traitors.
Britney Haynes
Big Brother
AlthoughBig Brotherplayers' skills don’t always translate over to other reality TV competitions well, the lying and deception ofBBcan work well with the skills needed onThe Traitors. Britney Haynes, who has appeared onBig Brother12 and 14,as well asBig Brother Reindeer Games,has always been more of a social player than a physical competitor, which works perfectly forThe Traitors.Though she’s typically more of a lowkey player,Britney would make a great Traitor because she’d be unassuming about it. I’d love to see Britney take on the challenge of fooling the Faithful.
Tony Vlachos
Survivor
As one of the only multi-season winners ofSurvivor,Tony Vlachos has a serious reputation to uphold onThe Traitors.While I think Tony being named a Traitor would be a bit on the nose, the Faithful will likely believe he’s a Traitor whether he’s chosen or not. Tony’s time onSurvivorwas marked by his ability to deceive, as well as his quick thinking in moments of crisis.Tony’s ability to move quicklyand stick to a story would be great to see at aTraitorsround table, and would likely make him difficult to catch in the game.
Tom Sandoval
Vanderpump Rules
AlthoughTom Sandoval isn’t the most belovedVanderpump Rulescast member, he’s going to be fascinating to watch onThe Traitorsseason 3. Though I wasn’t convinced that he was a good fit forThe Traitorsseason 3 castwhen it was announced he’d be on the show, I think Tom is actually a good fit for the show, as he knows how to be duplicitous. Tom was able to lie to his ex-partner, Ariana Madix, and a production crew throughout his affair with Raquel Leviss, so lying as a Traitor to a group of strangers would be easy.
Rob Mariano
As one of the most legendarySurvivorplayers of all time, “Boston” Rob Mariano is going to be expected to be named a Traitor. Much likeBBlegend Dan and his fellowSurvivoralum Tony, Rob will be expected to be a Traitor, so playing as one likely won’t be too difficult.Rob is known for his adaptabilityin the game and his charm, which he’s been able to use to disarm people and convince them of almost anything.Rob is great at playing down his strengths, which could be a wonderful asset as a Traitor in the difficult game.
Gabby Windey
The Bachelorette
AlthoughGabby Windeyis most well-known for her appearances onThe BachelorandThe Bachelorette,where she was a co-lead with Rachel Recchia,Gabby’s online presence post-show has changedthe way she’s perceived. A biting, witty content creator, Gabby has solidified herself as an online personality, but many don’t realize quite how smart she is. While Gabby has been maintaining her brand online, she could make a fascinating Traitor as no one would see it coming. Cunning and confident, Gabby is someone I’d love to see be named a killer onThe Traitorsto see what she would do strategically.
