Shocking names revealed in rumored 'The Traitors' season 4 cast
The buzz surrounding Season 4 of The Traitors has reached new heights after a rumored cast list surfaced this morning, leaving fans stunned by some unexpected names. The leak, attributed to Reality TV News/Updates on X, has generated serious excitement in the reality TV community. While some names, like Real Housewives stars Dorinda Medley, Lisa Rinna, Porsha Williams, and Maura Higgins, have been in the rumor mill for a while, others are completely out of left field. Among the most talked-about names is Donna Kelce, the mother of NFL star Travis Kelce. While many fans are shocked by her inclusion, it turns out she isn't the biggest surprise on the list. That honor goes to Rob Cesternino, Survivor legend and podcasting mogul, whose unexpected casting has left even the most seasoned fans surprised. Cesternino, known for his podcast empire Rob Has A Podcast, was rumored to join Survivor's 50th season, but his inclusion in The Traitors is a twist no one saw coming. The rumored cast includes a mix of reality TV icons and athletes, with Survivor contestants Natalie Anderson, Yam Yam Arocho, and Rob Cesternino reportedly joining the show. From Big Brother, fans can expect Ian Terry and Tiffany Mitchell, while The Bachelor star Colton Underwood and singer Eric Nam are also on the list. The addition of figure skater Johnny Weir and Drag Race's Monet X Change adds even more diversity to the already intriguing cast. Despite the exciting lineup, fans are speculating that some names might still be missing. The previous two US seasons of The Traitors had 22 to 23 participants, and this list only includes 16 names, suggesting that more cast members might be revealed later. With the show set to take place in a Scottish castle, the cast promises to bring together multiple fanbases, making Season 4 one of the most anticipated yet. Fans are eagerly waiting for official confirmations, and with Lisa Rinna's Instagram story hinting at her participation, the excitement is palpable.
