Contestant Bob The Drag Queen from The Traitors discusses candidly the aspects of the Season 3 winner that truly irk him
In the world of reality television, The Traitors has been a captivating show that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. The fourth season of this popular series is set to premiere for Peacock subscribers in early 2026, and with it comes a cast of non-celebrities and a controversial twist.
One of the returning contestants is Bob the Drag Queen, a fan-favourite from a previous season. However, Bob has expressed his grievances about the show, particularly the format that he believes favours calculated Faithful or clueless Traitors who often make it to the end.
Last season, the prize money was shared among the Faithful contestants, with Bob learning about this from the show's host. Despite being a winner himself, Bob felt that Lord Ivar Mountbatten didn't deserve the prize money, a sentiment he voiced at a recent Televerse 25 panel.
Bob's criticism extends to the treatment of the Faithful who made waves in the game, as they were punished more than those who laid low and didn't play at all. A notable example is Boston Rob, who betrayed Bob and exposed him as a Traitor on the show.
An ongoing issue in The Traitors is the presence of non-players making it to the end. Some fans argue that this format feels unfair, and Bob might be biased against the winners due to his preference for Danielle Reyes, another contestant from a previous season who is also a winner.
As a writer who has binged every season of The Traitors and is eagerly awaiting the return of the show, I share the same concerns. A potential solution could be a system for the Faithful to swap out bad players and give eliminated ones a second chance.
Meanwhile, fans are excited for NBC's Normie Season, but there are concerns it might negatively impact the celebrity version of The Traitors. Only time will tell how these changes will affect the show and its loyal fanbase.
