WARNING: This article contains spoilers for the first three episodes of The Traitors US season 3!
The Traitorsseason 3 is finally here, and the series got off on a fascinating foot with a batch of three episodes that revealed the Traitors in the game, along with some exciting twists. The Traitors, which became the highest-rated reality TV show on Peacock during its last season, has finally returned after a year-long hiatus, bringing the game of deception back to the forefront. While the series hosted by Alan Cumming can feel dark, the show is a strategy game at its core. Coming off a historic season, The Traitors season 3 has a lot to live up to.
Although The Traitors season 2 adopted a new style of gameplay for the US version of the series, separating it from the other international iterations of the show, things are ramping up even more for the newest season. With an all-star cast featuring personalities in the entertainment space along with reality TV stars from all sorts of shows, The Traitors season 3 has been highly anticipated by viewers who are looking to get sucked into the world of deception once again. With the show’s first three episodes available on Peacock, let’s see who the first Traitors of the season are.
Danielle Reyes
Big Brother
As one of the most legendary Big Brother players of all time, Danielle Reyes was named a Traitor by host Alan at the show’s initial round table. Strategic-minded Danielle, who originally appeared in Big Brother 3 and is consistently referred to as one of the best players to never win the game, has been sparse on reality TV in the years that followed her initial appearance. Danielle competed on Big Brother 7, the first All-Stars season, before taking a step back from the competition for over a decade.
Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.
Appearing on Big Brother Reindeer Games in 2023, Danielle went on the show with fellow BB alumni, including her The Traitors season 3 castmate Britney Haynes. While Danielle and Britney were initially aligned in the holiday-themed competition, Britney backstabbed Danielle and ultimately got her eliminated from the show. While Danielle and Britney interacted quickly early on in The Traitors premiere, Danielle’s Traitor status could shake things up in the future.
Bob The Drag Queen
RuPaul’s Drag Race
Although Bob The Drag Queen may not be as well-known as some of the other competitors on The Traitors season 3, his run as a Traitor is going to be iconic. Bob, known for his win on RuPaul’s Drag Race season 8, has the flair for the dramatics that make a Traitor successful in the game. While some have already started to consider him as an option to bring up at the round table, Bob has been great at deflecting and will likely continue to do well if he doesn’t push his fellow Traitors to play for his personal gain.
Carolyn Wiger
Survivor
Although she was one of the most emotional players on Survivor 44, Carolyn Wiger may be one of the more interesting Traitors of the season. Hopeful to have her chance to lie her way through the game, Carolyn was hoping to be selected as a Traitor and got her wish during the first round table of the season. While Carolyn was known for her eccentricities on Survivor, her inability to conceal her emotions could lead to her downfall in this game of The Traitors.
“Boston” Rob Mariano
Survivor
Although Survivor legend “Boston” Rob Mariano wasn’t initially brought into the game by the rest of the cast, he entered the game after the first round table’s conclusion and was immediately made a Traitor. Getting sprung on the Traitors after the first banishment of the season, Rob was someone that the rest of the group wasn’t sure about at first, but his ability to move through the competition socially was impressive. Having Rob on the side of The Traitors is the best-case scenario for the group at this early stage of the game.
The Traitors streams new episodes Thursday at 9 p.m. on Peacock.
The Traitors is a reality competition series that features celebrity and civilian contestants vying for a grand prize. They must engage in challenges while trying to uncover the traitors in their midst. Based on the Dutch series, The US incarnation of Traitors is hosted by actor Alan Cumming. As the faithful try to avoid being "murdered" by the traitors, the traitors must work together to evade banishment.
