Season premieres are always the same kind of chaos: everyone arrives smiling, half the cast immediately starts overplaying, and then Alan Cumming flips the whole room upside down by choosing the Traitors. The Traitors Season 4 traitor picks matter more than people think, because that first lineup usually dictates the vibe for the entire early game. If the group gels, the Faithful struggle. If the group clashes, it turns into a self-inflicted meltdown. So, who are the Traitors in The Traitors Season 4? Here’s who Alan selected at the roundtable to start the season.
Who are the Traitors in The Traitors Season 4?
The Traitors Season 4 Traitors are:
- Lisa Rinna
- Rob Rausch
- Candiace Dillard Bassett
Lisa Rinna (Original)
Rinna feels like a classic “social control” Traitor pick. She’s the type who can steer conversations, keep a straight face, and make big accusations sound reasonable. If she stays calm and avoids pushing too hard too early, she can help the Traitors blend in while the Faithful spiral.
Rob Rausch (Original)
Rob gives the Traitors a different tool: flexibility. He can play the friendly connector, sit in multiple groups, and avoid becoming the loudest voice in the room. That style works well early, because the first few banishments often target whoever seems intense, confusing, or overly confident.
Candiace Dillard Bassett (Original)
Candiace is the wild card energy, in a good way. She can read people, she can clap back, and she can control a room when she wants to. The risk is obvious, though. If emotions spike or arguments get personal, she could draw heat fast. As a Traitor, she’ll need to pick her moments and let suspicion land on other people first.
How Were the Traitors Chosen?
In Season 4, Alan chose three Traitors at the roundtable to kick off the game. That means these three start with the power, but also the pressure. Their job is to stay united, remove threats quietly, and avoid turning on each other too soon.
What to Watch for Next
The biggest question now is whether this trio plays as a team or as three separate agendas. If they stay coordinated, they can control the pace. If they start disagreeing, the Faithful will smell it immediately. If a Traitor is banished then we’ll update this list with any new Traitors that join the dark side.
