Season 3 of The Traitors has only just ended, but the gays are already hungry for more. This season was dominated by queer reality TV stars, including Bob the Drag Queen and Survivor’s Carolyn Wiger, who were agents of chaos as Traitors, and Bachelorette icon Gabby Windey, who ultimately won the season as a Faithful.
Naturally, we demand more LGBTQ+ representation on the upcoming Season 4, which has already been greenlit. Early rumors are already swirling around casting, and betting industry experts at VegasInsider.com have given their predictions for the 20 most likely celebs to make the cut — including two RuPaul’s Drag Race queens and fan favorites from Big Brother and Survivor.
On the Drag Race front, VegasInsider.com predicts that Jujubee and Bianca Del Rio will make the cut for Season 4. Jujubee has become infamous for appearing on Drag Race over and over, competing on Season 2, All Stars 1, All Stars 5, UK vs The World Season 1, and even the spin-off series Queen of the Universe and Secret Celebrity Drag Race. Why not add one more reality competition to her resume? She’d be an iconically messy Traitor or a heartbreakingly sincere faithful; either way, the viewers would be the real winners.
Del Rio, meanwhile, has rarely returned to reality TV since winning Season 6 of Drag Race back in 2014. As one of the franchise’s shadiest and funniest queens, she’d be a perfect fit for Thce Traitors: her roundtable reads would no doubt be the stuff of legends.

“I think that show’s done so much good in terms of trans and drag awareness,” the “Traitors” host said of his biggest Emmys competition.
The “Survivor” host got a cultural crash course from one of the new season’s queer castaways.
Following the success of Zac Efron’s brother Dylan on Season 3, another celebrity sibling is predicted for Season 4: Frankie Grande, who’s already a veteran of reality TV, having competed on Big Brother and its spin-off Reindeer Games (a seemingly innocent Christmas-themed competition that Danielle Reyes and Britney Haynes nonetheless proved led to bitter rivalries).
And from Survivor, VegasInsider.com has Micronesia contestant Natalie Bolton in the lineup. Bolton was part of the all-women Black Widow Brigade alliance alongside Survivor-turned-Traitors stars Cirie Fields and Parvati Shallow — the latter of whom Bolton famously flirted with in that season’s finale, asking how Shallow’s gameplay “resonated for her in the bedroom.”
VegasInsider.com’s predictions are based on “historical research of past trends when it comes to casting reality shows as well as research of fan-favorite reality TV contestants and their past/upcoming projects,” according to a representative. We likely won’t know the actual cast until this summer; Season 3’s cast reveal happened last June. Until then, we’ll keep our fingers crossed for plenty of queer talent. Check out VegasInsider.com’s full list of the 20 most likely celebrities to join The Traitors below.
