‘The Traitors’ Season 4 Cast Guide: Meet the New Faithfuls and Traitors in Alan Cumming’s Scottish Castle

Mischief, mayhem, murder… The Traitors Season 4 is here!

After clinching a win in the final moments of Season 3, a new group of Faithfuls has flooded the Scottish Highlands and descended upon Alan Cumming‘s castle to do what every Faithful is born to do: root out the Traitors. Will they accomplish this goal, or will the Traitors come out victorious?

After almost immediately tossing out the various Real Housewives players last season, it appears the producers have stacked the deck in their favor, casting five from across the franchise — including Lisa Rinna from Beverly Hills, Candiace Dillard Bassett from Potomac, and returning player Dorinda Medley from New York City — to try their hand at winning the $250,000 prize. But they can’t all be Faithfuls, can they?

Elsewhere in the castle, Season 4 welcomes those from the ballroom dance floor, a.k.a. Dancing With the Stars pro Mark Ballas, and the Olympic ice rink, a.k.a. Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir. There is also, of course, the game players and strategists from the Big Brother household, the beaches on Survivor, and… the villas of Love Island?! What a group.

Keep scrolling for everything you need to know about the cast of The Traitors Season 4…

• Grabbing the torch from former castmate Robyn Dixon, Candiace is one of five Housewives competing on The Traitors Season 4 and is fresh off her departure from The Real Housewives of Potomac. Since her exit, the former Miss United States has released a single, “How Do You Live,” and has been holding it down as a new mom.

• The Real Housewives of Dubai alum and mom of three is looking to make an impression in the castle as she takes on four fellow Housewives — all from the U.S., however — and tries to sniff out the Traitors… or is it that she will try to kill off the Faithfuls? According to an early preview, to Stanbury, it’s “all business,” and nothing is personal.

• The Bachelor lead — who has since come out as gay and settled down with his husband and young son — is looking to come out swinging as he joins forces with contestants from across the Survivor, Big Brother, and Real Housewives universes to win the $250,000 prize.

• Mama Kelce is trading in the sidelines at Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles game for the frontlines of the battle against the Traitors. Apart from being the lovable mother of Jason and Travis Kelce, Donna has also appeared in Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story and Christmas on Call.

• Once just wasn’t enough for Dorinda Medley! After leaving the castle in Episode 2 of Season 3 — making her the first murdered faithful of the season — the Real Housewives of New York City alum is headed back to the Scottish Highlands to take on the game again.

• Eric Nam (Singer-Songwriter)

  An American singer-songwriter based in South Korea, Nam has the advantage of being lesser known among the other contestants in this group. Will his strategy be to fly under the radar or is he planning to immediately try to identify himself as a threat?

• A true Big Brother legend, Ian Terry not only ranks up there with former Traitors players Janelle Pierzina and Rachel Reilly — who also won four Head of Household competitions during their seasons — but he won his first season and came back for an all-star attempt.

• Johnny Weir (Figure Skater)

  Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir is competing alongside longtime friend and frequent collaborator, Tara Lipinski, and is looking to bring style and flare to the castle, either as a Traitor or as a Faithful. The million-dollar question, though: Will he and Tara be split up?

• Top Chef host Kristen Kish is used to working with knives so hopefully she know a thing or two about backstabbing. Will this chef and reality TV show winner exercise excellent taste in judgment or fall victim to her castle enemies?

• Rob Cesternino (Survivor) 

  If Rob Cesternino is a Faithful, Traitors, watch out. The Survivor alum and expert strategist hosts a podcast dedicated to analyzing and breaking down reality TV shows and will be considered a serious threat to whichever team he is fighting against.

• Lisa Rinna (The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills) 

  An icon is in the building! Lisa Rinna may be one of the most iconic Real Housewives of all time, but whether or not she will cement herself as a Traitors icon is yet to be seen. Will she fall victim to the Traitors like the early Housewives of Season 3 or will she take it all the way?

• Mark Ballas (Dancing with the Stars) 

  After a successful run in Season 34 of Dancing with the Stars alongside Whitney Leavitt, Mark Ballas is hoping to dance his way into the finals of The Traitors Season 4. The beloved pro is going to have to tap his way into the hearts of the audience.

• Is this bombshell going to drop bombshells in the castle, next? Model, influencer, and Love Island USA Aftersun star Maura Higgins is coming in as one of two non-Americans and is looking to prove that she has the brains and the brawn to win.

• Michael Rapaport (Actor) 

  Actor, comedian, and Bravo enthusiast Michael Rapaport is going to be hard to read, regardless of his role as a Faithful or a Traitor. Quick on his feet, he may be able to get out of a bind, but he could also land himself in trouble with his polarizing personality and takes.

• Season 3 contestant Bob the Drag Queen has passed the torch to his Sibling Rivalry podcast and fellow Rupaul’s Drag Race alum, Monet X Change, who is slaying the castle and, quite possibly, slaying the Faithfuls.

• Natalie Anderson (Survivor) 

  A Survivor and Amazing Race alum, Natalie Anderson gained notoriety after winning Survivor San Juan del Sur while her twin sister, Nadiya, was first to be eliminated. Moreover, she went on to compete in Survivor: Winners at War and take second place. In summation: Natalie is not to be underestimated.

• Porsha Williams (The Real Housewives of Atlanta) 

  If there is one Housewife who is going to burn it all down in pursuit of the prize, it’s Porsha Williams of Atlanta fame. An author, singer, and influencer with nearly 8 million followers on Instagram, Porsha just so happens to be one of the most notable stars from the franchise and is going to come out swinging.

• Rob Rausch (Love Island USA) 

  Love Island USA star Rob Rausch is used to charming the ladies on TV and charming snakes back at home in Alabama, but how will he fare charming Traitors and Faithfuls in Scotland? A fan favorite on the other Peacock show, we predict he’ll be around this season for a second.

• Ron Funches (Comedian) 

  Ron Funches has a lot to show for

• One Tree Hill alum Stephen Colletti may be an actor by trade, but does that make him able to lie on command without a script to follow? Or is he better off playing it safe as a Faithful? There may only be “One Tree Hill,” but there are a few Traitors in Scotland.

• Tara Lipinski (Olympic Figure Skater) 

  Another Olympian figure skater, Tara Lipinski has the creativity and grace to twirl her way into the finals, with or without her friend and co-commentator, Johnny Weir.

• Tiffany Mitchell (Big Brother) 

  A two-time Big Brother houseguest — first on BB23 and then as a co-host of Big Brother: Reindeer Games — Tiffany Mitchell is known for her alliance-heavy gameplay. It’s worth looking out for her as she will most likely be looking to team up in order to win the money.

• Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho (Survivor) 

  The sole survivor of Survivor Season 44, Yam Yam is following in the footsteps of tribemate Carolyn Wiger and hoping to throw people off his scent as a master gamesman and a Survivor legend. As for whether or not he will also be a stealth Traitor, all will be revealed soon.
