Bravo’s top celebrities are set to take over The Traitors for its third season.
With the latest season launching on Peacock on Thursday, January 9, fans got to witness Chanel Ayan, Dolores Catania, Tom Sandoval, Robyn Dixon, Dorinda Medley, and Ciara Miller stepping into a different setting.
While some were eager to dive into the new experience within a Scottish castle, others felt a touch of hesitation regarding the reality show’s premise.
“When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Everyone’s basic, I gotta be basic too,” Ayan, 46, expressed through Instagram on January 3. “Why stick to fairness, when I can play fabulously?”
In earlier seasons, The Traitors showcased Bravo stars such as Summer House‘s Kyle Cooke and Shahs of Sunset‘s Reza Farahan. Season 2 also showcased a formidable Bravo alliance consisting of Sheree Whitfield, Mercedes “MJ” Javid, and Kate Chastain.
As Season 3 commences, let’s get acquainted with the Bravo stars ready to embark on an unforgettable adventure hosted by Alan Cumming:
Chanel Ayan — ‘The Real Housewives of Dubai’

Before The Real Housewives of Dubai went on hiatus after its second season in November 2024, Ayan brought style, allure, and drama. As she dives into The Traitors, the Bravo star acknowledges that this journey will be entirely different.
“I have no clue about what’s happening,” Ayan stated on Instagram before the third season’s premiere. “As a model on Housewives, I tended to float through. Here, I actually need to engage my brain and immerse myself in this game.”
Dolores Catania — ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’

If there’s one thing fans of The Real Housewives of New Jersey know about Catania, 54, it’s that she values loyalty above all. No matter the drama that arises in New Jersey, the Bravo star strives to understand different perspectives and maintain harmony.
Even though Catania can get fiery — who could forget her altercation with Margaret Josephs regarding an alleged reunion meeting — she tries to maintain her composure… until someone crosses her.
In August 2024, Catania was supported by Medley, 60, and Ayan during her annual charity softball game held in Brooklyn, New York.
Robyn Dixon — ‘The Real Housewives of Potomac’

After eight seasons, Dixon, 45, bid farewell to The Real Housewives of Potomac in April 2024. While some co-stars questioned her relationship with longtime partner Juan Dixon, no one could deny her strong friendship with co-star Gizelle Bryant.
Dixon has shown herself to be a dependable friend in Potomac, and fans are eager to see whether she’ll stay loyal or embrace a more shaded role.
Dorinda Medley — ‘The Real Housewives of New York City’

From 2015 to 2020, Medley aimed to keep things pleasant on The Real Housewives of New York City. Although she was temporarily sidelined by Andy Cohen, she returned for The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip, forming a friendship with Catania through shared softball games.
Known for her memorable quotes, will Medley’s fiery nature pose a risk in the house? Only time will tell. Clip!
Ciara Miller — ‘Summer House’

Miller is trading her weekends in the Hamptons for a thrilling escapade in a Scottish castle. The Bravo star was originally a nurse who decided to set her career aside to follow her modeling ambitions.
In her final season of Summer House, Miller, 29, faced heartbreak as she developed feelings — and subsequently disappointment — over her co-star West Wilson. With her previous fling behind her, Miller is ready to capture the hearts of her fellow Traitors cast members — and perhaps win some major cash.
Tom Sandoval — ‘Vanderpump Rules’

As an original cast member of Vanderpump Rules, Sandoval, 42, has encountered many shocking moments. Recently, he faced the aftermath of cheating on his long-term girlfriend Ariana Madix with her close friend and co-star Rachel “Raquel” Leviss.
While the former SUR employee has attempted to move on, some of his Traitors co-stars may not be as quick to forgive.
Miller previously described Sandoval as “annoying” during their time filming Winter House. “Just listening to his voice was irritating,” she revealed in an August 2023 episode of the “Viall Files” podcast. “He spent the entire hour-long car ride to the mountains talking about himself and his business endeavors.”
The Traitors season 3 is now available for streaming on Peacock, with new episodes released every Thursday at 9 p.m. ET.
