Major spoilers lie ahead for the latest season of “The Traitors.”
The highly anticipated Season 3 of “The Traitors” premiered on Peacock, captivating fans of reality television. The show, which features elements of strategy and deception reminiscent of hit series such as “Survivor,” “Big Brother,” and “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” kicked off with its first three episodes, introducing viewers to a thrilling competition set in a Scottish castle.
In this season, 23 contestants embark on a journey filled with betrayals and strategic gameplay, with four secretive “traitors” hiding among them. These traitors, selected by host Alan Cumming, are “Big Brother” star Danielle Reyes, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” champion Bob the Drag Queen, “Survivor” finalist Carolyn Wiger, and the unexpected entry of “Boston” Rob Mariano from “Survivor.”
Adding to the excitement, Episode 2 revealed three surprise contestants: “Boston Rob,” “The Challenge” competitor Wes Bergmann, and “Big Brother” winner Derrick Levasseur. Each of them was granted protection from getting eliminated, setting the stage for intense gameplay.
The season has already witnessed shocking twists, including the complete “murder” of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Dolores Catania, followed by “The Real Housewives of Dubai” star Chanel Ayan. Alongside these murders, the first elimination through banishment resulted in “Bachelor in Paradise” contestant Wells Adams leaving the game. The strategic assessments by contestants led to decisions that will have enduring implications as the game continues, notably with two-time “Survivor” winner Tony Vlachos also facing banishment due to suspicions of his strategic prowess.
One of the significant twists this season is that the banished players will no longer disclose their identities as faithfuls or traitors in the finale, building suspense as the outcome remains uncertain until the end.
All three seasons of “The Traitors,” including international versions from the UK and Australia, are exclusively available to stream on Peacock for subscribers starting at $7.99 a month.
This season promises to deliver even more suspense and engrossing gameplay, as alliances form and break, keeping both contestants and viewers on edge. The combination of familiar faces from various reality shows adds an exciting layer of unpredictability, and fans can look forward to watching how the tension unfolds in the episodes to come.
