The sixth season of the US version of The Traitors is just around the corner and there are quite a few familiar faces for fans of reality TV. Probably the most interesting combination of players we’ve seen, the show has extended an invitation to the castle to stars from RuPaul’s Drag Race, Real Housewives, Love Island, Big Brother, The Amazing Race, The Bachelor, The Challenge, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and—our favorite—Survivor.
With 23 celebrity players taking on the next season, it might seem ominous for our two Survivor stars as far as probability goes, but…these are two players I would never underestimate. Especially in a game of social deception or treachery.
Survivor: Kaoh Rong winner Michele Fitzgerald and Survivor 50’s Q Burdette join the sixth season of The Traitors US.
Peacock announced the upcoming cast of season 6 of The Traitors on Friday, September 18th,
noting a premiere for the streaming show in 2027. While the fifth season was dubbed The Traitors: New Blood and featured the first cast made up entirely of people who haven’t previously been on shows or in the spotlight somehow, it looks like the show is going back to its celebrity roots for the next one.
Check out The Traitors US season 6 cast list:
- Bianca Del Rio (RuPaul’s Drag Race)
- Boman Martinez-Reid (content creator)
- Bronwyn Newport (The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City)

- Rashad Jennings (NFL star)
- Taylor Hale (Big Brother / The Amazing Race)
- Whitney Leavitt (The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives)
Now, both Michele and Q have competed on two seasons of Survivor—Koah Rong & Winners at War and Survivor 46 & Survivor 50, respectively—so they are well aware of how to move through a game of strategy and social intelligence. Michele, of course, is one of the few people who made it to the Final Tribal Council of every season she’s played on and I definitely think she’d be formidable on this show as either a Traitor or a Faithful and I can definitely see her making it far.
Q on the other hand, based on what we’ve seen of his gameplay, has a habit of not choosing his words carefully enough for the people around him, making it very easy for him to make enemies. Hopefully having food and general comforts will help him keep his social game in check because he does have a strategic mindset that would be very good for a Traitor.
And even though The Traitors is a whole new ballgame from Survivor, we’ve seen past contestants go on and completely dominate the game like Cirie Fields who won the first season as a Traitor. And considering she just gave Rick Devens and Dee Valladares some great advice for their own incredible run on Big Brother this summer, I assume she’ll give her fellow Survivor 50 castmate some The Traitors advice as well.
But I personally can’t wait for the new season with such a stacked cast! Thankfully I have Survivor 51 starting up in less than a week to tide me over in the meantime.
