The Traitors Needs To Cast These Legendary Reality TV Villains

When most fans think about The Traitors, Alan Cumming comes to mind, which makes sense since the reality show has gained him so many new fans. However, even though hosting the show is hard for Alan, the people cast in The Traitors Season 3 are what will make it different. Fortunately for fans, The Traitors has welcomed many memorable players, including several Survivor players like Parvati Shallow, who surprisingly flopped in the castle.

One of the reasons that a season of The Traitors having a good cast is so important is that the right person can really freshen the show up. These legendary reality TV villains need to compete in a future season of The Traitors since they could really make the game interesting.

Why The Traitors Should Cast Kristin Cavallari

During the mid-2000s, Kristin Cavallari was considered to be one of the biggest reality TV villains. As one of the stars of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, millions of that show’s fans hated Kristin at that time and rooted for Lauren Conrad.

In the years since then, Kristin’s reputation with the public has become a lot more multifaceted. In fact, Kristin now has enough fans of her own that she would be the hero of some reality shows if she starred in them.

It is the fact that Kristin has such a complex history that would make her perfect for The Traitors.

As a former reality TV villain, Kristin has learned how to thrive while being surrounded by people who believed the worst about her. As a result, if Kristin was chosen to be a traitor, it seems like she wouldn’t falter under the pressure.

Alternatively, Kristin has also shown the ability to get audiences to see through her past villain facade. With that in mind, it seems like Kristin would also be able to get her fellow The Traitors players to relate to her enough to be a good part of the team of faithfuls.

Most importantly of all, Kristin has proven to be an outspoken and entertaining reality show star.

All things considered, it seems like Kristin would be an entertaining part of The Traitors, no matter what role she was cast in.

Why The Traitors Should Cast Richard Hatch

When the first season of Survivor premiered in the year 2000, reality shows hadn’t taken television by storm yet. Despite that, that first season became an absolute sensation, largely due to how much people hated Richard Hatch.

Do The Traitors Fans Think Phaedra Parks Is A Sore Loser For Hating Dan Gheesling?

The Traitors fans have strong opinions about Phaedra Parks’ hatred for Dan Gheesling.

An extremely self-confident person, Richard announced during the very first episode of Survivor that he was going to win. Unlike most people who are boastful, Richard then did the incredible by masterfully manipulating everyone around him to win Survivor’s first season.

If Richard was cast in The Traitors, he would likely be similarly confident that he would win the game. That would leave viewers asking if Richard had the goods to win a game like The Traitors, and it would be entertaining to see what would happen next.

Since Richard was so hated during the season of Survivor he won, many people overlooked how good he was at getting people to work with him. If Richard could use his magnetic personality to get other players to work with him, he could have a good shot at winning the game. Richard also has a proven track record of being able to observe and anticipate other people’s actions, which is a great attribute for a traitor or a member of the faithful.

On the other hand, if Richard was taken out of the game early, many viewers would be delighted to see a smug reality show villain get their comeuppance. Either way, it seems very likely that Richard would be an entertaining part of The Traitors history.

Why The Traitors Should Cast Omarosa Manigault Newman

A veteran of a slew of different reality shows, Omarosa Manigault Newman has cast a unique shadow on the television genre. Clearly born with an extremely strong personality, it would be fascinating to see how Omarosa would fare in Alan Cumming’s castle.

Alan Cumming Told Andy Cohen Who The Funniest Players Are From The Traitors

The Traitors host Alan Cumming explained to Andy Cohen which competitors from the show were hilarious.

Unlike most reality show stars, Omarosa appears to be able to single-mindedly go after whatever goal she is trying to achieve. That fact has made Omarosa an extremely intimidating figure for viewers and the people she’s starred in reality shows with before.

However, the format of The Traitors is different from most reality shows. As a result, Omarosa would have to choose to go down one of two paths if she competed on the show.

If Omarosa sought to work in tandem with other players, whether as a traitor or a faithful, it would be very compelling to see how she would try to pull that off. After all, many people have found Omarosa to be overly abrasive in the past.

Alternatively, If Omarosa tries to go it alone and alienates everyone around her, that could be entertaining in one of two ways. In scenario one, Omarosa flames out and is quickly eliminated from the game. In scenario two, Omarosa remains in the castle, stirring up drama in the people around her. Either of those scenarios should be entertaining for viewers.

Why The Traitors Should Cast Gordon Ramsay

For some modern reality show fans, the idea of calling Gordon Ramsay a villain may be shocking. After all, Gordon has become a supportive mentor for shows like Masterchef and Next Level Chef. However, Gordon first rose to fame as an extremely demanding reality show chef with a love for screaming and swearing at people.

Big Brother Vs. The Traitors: Dr. Will Kirby’s Exclusive Thoughts On Which Show Is Harder to Play

Big Brother legend Dr. Will Kirby reveals what his experience on The Traitors was really like.

If Gordon was cast in The Traitors, it would be a huge deal for three reasons. First off, it could be argued that Gordon is the most famous reality show villain of all-time, so his presence on any reality show could make a huge difference.

Secondly, it would be interesting to see if Gordon played into the kinder part of his personality, his harsh side, or a combination of both.

Finally, the best reason to cast Gordon in The Traitors would be to see how he would adapt to a completely different role.

For many years now, Gordon has appeared in reality shows as a figure of authority. Gordon has been the one to tell people to leave the competition and he has judged all the people around him.

It would be amazing to see how Gordon would handle being just one person among many who are competing to win.
