Season 4 of The Traitors returns with heightened suspense as a new cast of celebrities enters the Scottish castle to compete in the hit psychological reality competition hosted by Alan Cumming.
The season brings together a diverse group of contestants from reality television, sports, and pop culture, all vying for a prize of up to $250,000 while attempting to identify hidden traitors among them. The format remains unchanged, with secret traitors working to eliminate faithful players while avoiding exposure during nightly roundtables.
Early betting projections suggest that Real Housewives alum Lisa Rinna is the leading candidate to be selected as a traitor, based on her strong social instincts and strategic reputation. Survivor veteran Rob Cesternino and Big Brother icon Tiffany Mitchell are also viewed as high-probability contenders due to their competitive backgrounds and experience in long-form strategy games. Dorinda Medley and Colton Underwood round out the top group of predicted traitors.
Analysts note that the series has consistently selected at least one contestant from Survivor and Big Brother as a traitor each season, reinforcing speculation around Cesternino and Mitchell. Rinna’s ability to manage alliances while maintaining public charm has further strengthened her position as a frontrunner.
The cast also includes familiar faces such as Porsha Williams, Maura Higgins, Rob Rausch, and Donna Kelce, whose presence expands the show’s crossover appeal beyond traditional reality audiences.
Season 4 continues the show’s winning formula of psychological tension, social manipulation, and emotional confrontations, while maintaining the theatrical tone that has helped it secure multiple Emmy wins. With early episodes already delivering surprise eliminations and shifting alliances, the season is positioned to be one of the franchise’s most unpredictable chapters yet.
Fans will soon learn which contestants were chosen as traitors, setting the stage for another high-stakes battle between deception and survival inside the castle.
