“The Traitors” has returned with its highly anticipated third season, now available on Peacock. In a thrilling twist, the show drops its first three episodes, promising fans of reality TV drama and suspense much to enjoy. Set against the scenic backdrop of a Scottish castle, this season introduces 23 contestants, including four traitors and two surprise players, enriching the competitive atmosphere.
The traitors for this season include notable reality stars: “Big Brother” veteran Danielle Reyes, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” champion Bob the Drag Queen (Christopher Delmar Caldwell), “Survivor” finalist Carolyn Wiger, and “Survivor” legend “Boston” Rob Mariano. This lineup marks the largest number of traitors in a single season, with tensions running high as they attempt to secretly eliminate their fellow contestants each episode.
In a twist that fans have come to appreciate, host Alan Cumming introduces surprise players to the mix. Notably, Boston Rob joins as a traitor after an unexpected reveal, alongside other reality stars like “The Challenge” competitor Wes Bergmann and “Big Brother” champion Derrick Levasseur. These additions shift the dynamics of alliances and strategies in the game.
The suspense continues with shocking eliminations; the first contestant “murdered” in this season was Dolores Catania from “The Real Housewives of New Jersey”. Her early exit set the tone for a season filled with intrigue, as the following episode saw Chanel Ayan from “The Real Housewives of Dubai” also “murdered”. Meanwhile, the first round of banishment resulted in “Bachelor in Paradise” star Wells Adams being ousted, followed by two-time “Survivor” winner Tony Vlachos, both of whom faced suspicion among their peers.
A significant change this season features a new strategy in the finale, where banished contestants will not reveal their allegiance as faithful or traitor, leaving viewers—and remaining players—guessing about the existence of any traitors until the end.
Fans can catch all the excitement and treachery from “The Traitors” Season 3, as well as previous seasons, exclusively on Peacock, with subscriptions starting at $7.99 monthly.
Overall, this season promises to elevate the stakes even further, blending familiar faces with new surprises, and keeping audiences eagerly anticipating each episode’s twists and turns.
