The Traitors Season 4 is almost here, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. Over the last few years, The Traitors has quickly become one of the most popular competition shows on reality television.
While the majority of contestants are Faithfuls, a few select players are chosen to be the Traitors. These players must choose which contestants to “murder”, without the others catching on to their identity. If any of the Traitors make it to the end, they get to claim all of the prize money acquired throughout the season for themselves. While everyone in the castle plays the game, the Traitors are the most central part of it.
Who should be the Traitors on Season 4?
There are 23 celebrity contestants on The Traitors Season 4, all of whom bring something to the game. While some of the contestants would make excellent Faithfuls, others have the potential to truly thrive as Traitors. These four players in particular could make amazing Traitors if chosen for the role.
Mark Ballas
Mark Ballas is a professional dancer on the competition series Dancing with the Stars. He’s won the show three times and is considered one of the best pros in the history of the show. Mark’s most recent appearance was on DWTS Season 34 with his partner Whitney Leavitt. They placed sixth, falling just short of the finale.
While DWTS isn’t a strategic show in the same way as The Traitors, there is some strategy involved. Mark has a tendency to go outside the box to make his dances unique and memorable. He often plays it more dangerously than the other pros, which could make him an interesting Traitor. The only other DWTS pro to ever do The Traitors was Maks Chmerkovskiy. He was a Faithful and was banished early on. It would be fun to see a DWTS pro play a Traitor and potentially go further into the game.
Donna Kelce
Every year, The Traitors features a few players who aren’t from reality shows. This year, one of those contestants is Donna Kelce, the mother of Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce. Donna has gained recognition in recent years, with Travis now being engaged to superstar Taylor Swift.
Donna may be perceived as an underdog this season, but she could actually become a threat. Last year, Dylan Efron won Season 3, after mainly being known as the brother of Zac Efron. Donna could end up playing a similar game and flying under the radar if she isn’t perceived as a threat. If Donna is a Traitor, this would make her game even more shocking and satisfying. No one would expect Donna to be a Traitor, which is why she’d make a great one.
Yam Yam Arocho
Yam Yam Arocho is one of several Survivor players who will be on Season 4. He won Survivor 44 in a landslide and is one of the most beloved winners of the Survivor New Era. Yam Yam excelled at playing a social game on Survivor, but he was certainly strategic as well. His experience on Survivor will definitely come in handy on The Traitors, especially if he is chosen to be a Traitor.
On Survivor 44, Yam Yam worked closely with Carolyn Wiger, who was a Traitor during Season 3. It would be fun to watch how Yam Yam approaches being a Traitor compared to Carolyn. Survivor players often make good Traitors due to their competition and strategic backgrounds, and as a recent winner, Yam Yam would be a perfect choice.
Dorinda Medley
Dorinda Medley is the only returning cast member this season, after her very brief run on Season 3. During Season 3, Dorinda was the first player murdered, making her stay in the castle very short. Dorinda was a Faithful, but it would be fun to watch her as a Traitor for her second time around.
Being a Traitor would be the perfect opportunity for Dorinda to redeem herself after her early loss in Season 3. Dorinda is sassy and smart, which could help her to do well as a Traitor. While Dorinda could end up with a target on her back for being a returning player, being a Traitor could help her to overcome it.
The Traitors is available to stream on Peacock.
