Bravo star Dorinda Medley is returning for Season 4 of The Traitors after a crushing early exit in Season 3. The Real Housewives of New York alum was the first Faithful to be murdered by the Traitors in the second episode, causing quite a stir in the castle. The Traitors were fearful of Dorinda’s confrontational personality, opting to “kill” her before she had the chance to speak her mind at a roundtable.
Dorinda will have a chance at redemption on Season 4, which will premiere on Thursday, January 8 at 9 p.m. ET on Peacock. Reality Tea had a chance to chat with her before the upcoming season. Here’s what she had to say about her Season 4 strategy.
Dorinda Medley shares Traitors strategy ahead of Season 4
Dorinda famously did quite a bit of preparation for Season 3. During a January 2025 appearance on The Tonight Show, she revealed she read Sun Tzu’s The Art of War twice and studied Nietzsche before entering the castle. We asked Dorinda how she got in the zone for Season 4. The RHONY star joked that she did no preparation for the upcoming season after last year’s results.
“There was no reading, there was no overpacking,” she said. “That strategy didn’t work last year. So, maybe I should just pretend it’s not happening until it’s happening. Take it as it goes. Expect nothing, but hope for everything.”
We also asked Dorinda what fans can expect from Season 4 of The Traitors. She couldn’t say much, but she teased that viewers are in for a fun time.
“[The cast] together make for a really fun run around at the castle,” she shared.
The Traitors is available to stream on Peacock.
