The cast for Traitors 4 was announced last week, meaning Scotland has welcomed 23 new contestants to Andross Castle. Players from Survivor, Big Brother, and the Real Housewives franchises make up the all-star cast, but what about the shows that we have yet to see representation from?
Four seasons in and no signs of stopping, many shows with a fantastic pool of contestants have yet to see any representation in the newest reality TV sensation. Here are four shows whose alumni are still due to make an appearance.
1. The Amazing Race
Natalie Anderson may have started her reality TV career on The Amazing Race, but she’s most known for her impressive runs on Survivor, winning San Juan del Sur and finishing 2nd in Winners at War. Amazing Race players are often overlooked when it comes to mixed-reality show casts, but these players have to hone in a wealth of skills to be successful on the show. Would players that had to race around the world shine in the Scottish Highlands? Or are they more successful in a less stagnant environment? I would love to find out.
2. Top Chef
Kirsten Kish’s entry into Traitors 4 could be the perfect segway for other Top Chef contestants to be featured in future seasons. Honestly, I’d be happy to welcome past and current judges Padma Lakshmi, Tom Colicchio, and Gail Simmons to the castle, but the former contestants are where the drama really is. The past few seasons have introduced us to many diverse, standout personalities from around the world, and I wouldn’t dismiss some of our earliest seasons from the conversation either (Tiffany Faison and Carla Hall, please pick up the phone…).
3. Project Runway
Speaking of Bravo shows, perhaps the greatest snub from Traitors representation is Project Runway. The casts are fantastic, the judges throughout the years have been the perfect combination of catty and hilarious, and Tim Gunn is perfection in his own right. With so many memorable appearances from Real Housewives, Summer House, and Vanderpump Rules, it’s a wonder why this Bravo staple has never been in the conversation.
4. Taskmaster
The British comedy panel show may make more sense for the Traitors UK, but it wouldn’t be the first time Traitors US has brought in contestants from across the pond. Presenters Greg Davies and Alex Horne would be great additions to a future Traitors cast, but the eclectic mix of comedians that have joined the panel over the years would also fit the bill. If any TV contestants would be capable of trying new things and reinventing the game, it would be someone from Taskmaster.
Traitors US Season 4 is expected to air sometime in early 2026, with the episodes airing weekly on Peacock. You can watch Seasons 1-3 of the US series anytime on Peacock as well.
