Logo text As the final roundtable looms ahead of Thursday’s Traitors finale, the Faithfuls who have since left the castle have been able to reflect on their journey this season.
The Alan Cumming-hosted series became the internet’s favorite competition series during the show’s second season and turned into weekly water cooler talk by its third, which began airing in January 2025.
Season four’s full cast included Candiace Dillard Bassett (The Real Housewives of Potomac), Caroline Stanbury (The Real Housewives of Dubai), Colton Underwood (The Bachelor), Donna Kelce (mother to Travis and Jason Kelce), Dorinda Medley (The Real Housewives of New York City), Eric Nam (K-pop singer-songwriter), Ian Terry (Big Brother), Johnny Weir (Olympic figure skater), Kristen Kish (Top Chef), Rob Cesternino (Survivor), Lisa Rinna (The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills), Mark Ballas (Dancing with the Stars), Maura Higgins (Aftersun: Love Island USA), Michael Rapaport, Monét X Change (RuPauls Drag Race), Natalie Anderson (Survivor), Porsha Williams (The Real Housewives of Atlanta), Rob Rausch (Love Island USA), Ron Funches, Stephen Colletti (One Tree Hill), Tara Lipinski (Olympic figure skater), Tiffany Mitchell (Big Brother) and Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho (Survivor).
The original group of Traitors were Bassett, Rausch and Rinna, with Kelce as the newly introduced “secret Traitor.” Bassett, Rinna and Kelce were all voted off during roundtables; while Anderson the most recent to exit the show ahead of Thursdays finale. Rausch since enlisted Nam, a veteran of the K-pop industry, as a late-in-the-game Traitor.
Going into the finale, Nam, Weir, Ballas, Higgins, Rausch and Lipinski remained in contention. The final murder of the season, which is expected to be revealed at the top of the finale, will be revealed in front of the entire contestants. Weir, Ballas, Higgins and Lipinski are all potential victims of the Traitors final wrath.
Following the highly anticipated finale, a reunion will take place at 7 p.m. PT on Peacock. Below, some of the fallen Faithfuls weigh in on their time on the series.
Did you feel more safe knowing you didnt come from the Housewives or gamer faction, considering those are often targeted?
I come from a reality show where you need actual talent, which sounds shady, but it is true. We need talent to do well on our show. Were not Housewives just breaking wine glasses and threatening to stab another girl because they talk about your husband. Thats just not the world Im from. I, as a Drag Race contestant, and someone from my small part of the internet and television, I was just using my charm People in the castle really liked me. People really adored me and a lot of people trusted me, so I was just clinging onto that. I think that may have been my fatal flaw because in saying my name, Lisa was afraid that I would say it more and more people — because Candiace said no one heard it — I think Lisa was like, “OK, good. I got to get her now because if more people here trust Monét, they like Monét; they will side with her.” Although, it didnt work for Michael Rapaport. I was trying to get Michael Rapaport out from day one. I voted for her in the first roundtable. I was like, “This guy has to go.”
If there were to be an all-star season, is there another Drag Race contestant you would want in it with you?
Oh, put me and Bob [the Drag Queen] together. I think that we would wreak havoc in that castle. I dont think Alan will make us both Traitors — although that would be fierce — but Bob and I Whether were two Faithfuls together, two Traitors together or either or, I think it would be the meetup of the century. It would be the greatest season of Traitors ever. Alan is robbing the viewers by not making that happen.
