It seems like every reality TV fan has the same thought lately: what if some of the most iconic “Big Brother” players took their talents to “The Traitors”? And honestly… we’re here for it.
Between the mind games, alliances, and just the right amount of chaos, the crossover potential feels almost too perfect. And it’s not like this idea came out of nowhere; ”Big Brother” players have already been making their mark on “The Traitors” across multiple seasons.
From Cody Calafiore and Rachel Reilly in Season 1, to Dan Gheesling and Janelle Pierzina in Season 2, the crossover has been steadily growing. Season 3 brought in Danielle Reyes, Britney Haynes, and Derrick Levasseur, while the most recent Season 4 featured Tiffany Mitchell and Ian Terry.
So yeah… it seems like casting already knows what it’s doing. But fans? They’ve got ideas.
Strategic Icons Fans Can’t Stop Talking About
If you’re building a dream cast, you start with the heavy hitters; and fans are doing exactly that.
There’s Taylor Hale, who turned adversity into a winning game on “Big Brother 24” and later proved she’s still got it on “Reindeer Games.” Fans want to see what happens when she’s not instantly on the defensive… because let’s be real, that version of Taylor could be dangerous.
Then there’s Dr. Will Kirby: widely considered one of the best to ever play. His charm, manipulation, and ability to stay calm under pressure? That’s basically the “The Traitors” starter pack.
Another name that keeps popping up is Eric Stein. Fans (and fellow alums) have long argued he deserves another shot. After all, his “America’s Player” run is still one of the most impressive (and frustrating) games to watch. Give him full control, and it seems like he could really shake things up.
And of course, Josh Martinez is already manifesting it. Following his appearance on “Destination X” in 2025, he told TV Insider, “I think Traitors is such a big one. So I would love to do Traitors… Traitors is definitely something that I’m manifesting for myself.” Honestly, that mix of chaos and awareness could go either way; but it would absolutely be fun to watch.
Fans Want Chaos, Drama, & a Little Bit of Everything
Of course, no dream cast is complete without a little chaos… and Reddit did not disappoint.
One fan wrote, “Eric Stein would be an amazing traitor he was masterful as Americas player and I would love to watch him in a game where he has agency.”
Another added, “People might actually murder Dr Will judging by the reaction on DONDI this season 😂 Jonathan Bennett would be a good celebrity Traitors contestant!”
And then there are the well-balanced dream lineups: “I think Taylor, Nicole and Tyler have huge win potential. Enzo was born a Faithful. For entertainment purposes, I want Tucker, Christie and BB 27 Angela.”
For those leaning fully into chaos? “I would love chaotic Evil dick on there or Kaysar.” Yep. That would definitely… keep things interesting.
Even Julie Chen Moonves is on board with the crossover potential. In an interview with Pride in early 2025, she said, “I would love to see Taylor Hale. I would love to see Tiffany [Mitchell] from The Cookout. I think Xavier [Prather] would be good. Those are the three that come to mind.” And while one of those “Big Brother” players did take on “The Traitors” castle, i.e. Tiffany, the other two could make for intriguing viewing.
A Few More Picks That Just Make Sense
Let’s be real; there are a few more names that feel like they belong in this conversation.
Jun Song is a big one. Her social strategy was subtle, calculated, and just manipulative enough to win. Drop her into a game built on deception, and it seems like she’d thrive all over again.
Then there’s Paul Abrahamian, who came heartbreakingly close to winning; twice. His strategic gameplay made him a powerhouse, but also a target. And while he has stayed in the reality TV game, most recently on “House of Villains” Season 3, the format of “The Traitors” could give him something new to try to win.
At the end of the day, it seems like fans aren’t just tossing out random names… they’re building a cast that actually makes sense. Strategy? Check. Social game? Check. Chaos? Oh, absolutely.
And with “Big Brother” already feeding into “The Traitors” casting pool, it feels less like a long shot… and more like a matter of time.
Frankie Grande would be so entertaining but I doubt he would have the time.
