Season 4 of The Traitors was epic. The show gave us masterful gameplay and some interesting fashion choices. Plus, the celebrities came to the Scottish castle ready to play.
Five Real Housewives journeyed to Scotland, along with three Survivor alums. In addition, two Olympians and two legends from Big Brother also competed. This cast was stacked!
Meanwhile, in the end, Love Island USA star Rob Rausch, singer Eric Nam, Olympian Tara Lipinski, and Love Islander Maura Higgins made it to the finale. Of course, viewers knew that both Rob and Eric were Traitors. However, Rob had a side alliance with Maura, who was a Faithful, to vote out Eric.
After Faithful Tara was banished, both Love Islanders sent Eric packing. Unfortunately, the joke was on Maura, as Rob and his overalls won the entire prize pot. Don’t feel too bad for Maura, since Rob promised to buy her a Birkin as an apology. So, now that Season 4 is behind us, who should enter the castle next? The Traitors Season 5 cast should include these reality stars.
Demi Engemann – The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
During Season 2 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, star Demi Engemann emerged as the villain. She dissed her bestie, Jessi Ngatikaura’s hair salon, and tried to oust MomTok creator Taylor Frankie Paul from the group. When the vote didn’t go her way, Demi exited MomTok.
Plus, Demi was allegedly flirting with server Marciano Brunette during a Hulu crossover trip to Vanderpump Villa. It turns out that Jessi was involved in an emotional affair with Marciano, and during Season 3, Demi threatened to put Jessi’s business on blast.
It seems that Demi can easily embrace her villainous side, which would make her a perfect fit for The Traitors. She is also clever, which Demi demonstrated when she attempted to rally the ladies to force Taylor from MomTok. Of course, Demi is also outgoing and friendly, which could make this SLOMW cast member a great Faithful or Traitor.
Gizelle Bryant – The Real Housewives of Potomac
Real Housewives of Potomac “OG” Gizelle Bryant would be an excellent, and shady, addition to Season 5. After all, her bestie and fellow green-eyed bandit, Robyn Dixon, competed during the third season. After Gizelle checked into Bravo’s Love Hotel, looking for romance, she ended up alone. So, it’s time for Gizelle to pack her bags for Scotland.
Of course, fans know that housewives love a moment. Obviously, Gizelle and her shade would be working overtime. Would Gizelle be trying to find Traitors? Yes. Would Gizelle be sizing up the gentlemen in the castle? Probably also yes.
Meanwhile, I think that Gizelle would be interesting to watch in the competition. I feel that she wouldn’t be afraid to speak out at the round table. Plus, Season 4 of The Traitors featured two Real Housewives, Lisa Rinna and Gizelle’s former RHOP co-star, Candiace Dillard Bassett, lurking in the turret. Could this green-eyed bandit pull off being a Traitor? I would love to find out!
Craig Conover – Southern Charm
The Traitors has yet to cast a Southern Charm cast member, and Craig Conover would be an excellent choice. Craig is intelligent and passed the bar, but didn’t go into law. Still, Craig loves drama and seems to be adept at lying and playing mind games.
It seems that he showed some villainous tendencies during Season 10 of Southern Charm. Craig alleged that co-star Jarett “JT” Thomas called Patricia Altschul a “b*tch.” Of course, that earned poor JT the wrath of the Charmers. The problem? There was no audio to back up Craig’s version of events.
Plus, Craig isn’t afraid to voice his opinion and his wild conspiracy theories. Maybe everyone will sport tin foil hats at dinner one evening. Why not? In addition, Craig isn’t afraid to spark drama and start an argument.
A round table with Craig would result in some fireworks. And the Sewing Down South founder is known to be a flirt. For all of these reasons, Craig would be a fantastic casting choice.
Jennifer Tilly – The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Jennifer Tilly joined The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills during Season 14. The Oscar-nominated actress entered the show as a friend of the housewives. Plus, she is actually besties with RHOBH cast member Sutton Stracke.
Meanwhile, Jennifer is all about fashion. Sometimes her looks are a bit … unexpected. However, I am always looking forward to seeing what she will wear next. Traitors host Alan Cumming may have some competition in the fashion department if Jennifer enters the castle.
In addition, her kooky charm would be entertaining on The Traitors. After all, she has two Bel Air properties next to each other. One is for entertaining guests, and Jennifer resides in the other. As one does.
Plus, Jennifer has a career as a professional poker player. She would be a formidable opponent as a Traitor with her lovely poker face. In addition, she could probably determine if another player was bluffing.
Drita D’Avanzo – Mob Wives, House of Villains
Drita D’Avanzo starred in the series Mob Wives from 2011 until 2016. The series followed several Staten Island women with ties to men involved in organized crime. Of course, Drita was involved in plenty of drama, courtesy of her fiery temper. She memorably feuded with Karen Gravano during the series. Meanwhile, Drita is all about the resurgence of the mob wife aesthetic. Think of lots of fur, animal prints, and bling in the castle. So, just another Thursday.
In addition, Drita joined the Season 3 cast of House of Villains. If I were the other villains, I would pause before confronting Drita. Plus, Traitors alums Kate Chastain and Tom Sandoval are also part of Season 3.
When asked whether Drita has considered competing in The Traitors, she had a surprising response. “That would make me nuts,” she stated, then added, “That’s good reality TV.” Drita is correct, and I have my fingers crossed that we see this Staten Island gem in Scotland.
Luann de Lesseps – The Real Housewives of New York
Real Housewives of New York alum, Luann de Lesseps, was one of the “OG” cast members of the franchise. These days, she is a cabaret queen and is living her best life. Plus, Luann is always booked and busy.
She has a new E! docuseries, The Golden Life, reportedly set to premiere in 2026. Several of Luann’s former RHONY co-stars are part of the cast. The series will focus on the ladies as they embrace their next chapter in Palm Beach.
Still, she would be right at home in Alan’s castle, serving her best looks and flirting up a storm. Perhaps she would entertain her fellow contestants with a song after a grueling mission. While I’m not sure if Luann has what it takes to be a deceitful Traitor, I think that she would be a fabulous and entertaining addition to the Season 5 cast.
The Traitors is available to stream on Peacock.
