Meet The Traitors Season 4 cast
The 23 contestants who will be testing their psychological mettle are:
Natalie Anderson (The Amazing Race)
Prior to The Traitors, Natalie has often competed with her twin sister, Nadiya, in competition reality shows like The Amazing Race and Survivor: San Juan del Sur. She won her season of Survivor and went back to compete in the champion's season, Survivor: Winners at War, where she was the runner-up. Anderson also competed in Season 36 of The Challenge where she was paired with The Traitors Season 3 contestant, Wes Bergmann. All of this means, Anderson knows her way around reality TV and brings that with her into Season 4.
Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho (Survivor)
Nicknamed "Yam Yam" on Season 44 of Survivor, Yamil Arocho won the season by defeating future The Traitors Season 3 mastermind and guilty Traitor, Carolyn Wiger. An important thing to remember is that Arocho was a student of Survivor before he was cast and admits studying fellow Survivor winners (The Traitors players Sandra Diaz-Twine and Season 1 winner Cirie Fields) as his models for competition game play.
Mark Ballas (Dancing With the Stars)
A professional Latin and ballroom dancer, Mark Ballas used his skills to win Dancing with the Stars three times.

He's also a lead actor in two Broadway musicals, Jersey Boys (2017) and Kinky Boots (2018). Ballas brings charm and ability to find chemistry with all kinds of personalities, which bodes well for alliance-making.
Rob Cesternino (Survivor)
An old-school Survivor player, Rob Cesternino competed in Survivor: The Amazon (2003) and Survivor: All-Stars (2004). However, he's remains well-known in Survivor circles as an expert podcaster who's been covering competition reality shows since 2010 on his award-winning Rob Has a Podcast. Cesternino is a student of the genre, which gives him a strategical edge. He's also personable, which is great for his social game.
Stephen Colletti (Laguna Beach, One Tree Hill)
Both a reality drama regular and an actor, Stephen Colletti is best known for being part of the cast of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County and playing Chase Adams in The CW's One Tree Hill.

What do I need to know about Season 4?
A nail-biting psychological adventure in which treachery and deceit are front and center, The Traitors drops the entertainment industry’s most competitive stars and personalities into the ultimate murder mystery.

But hidden amongst the Faithful are the Traitors, whose goal is to eliminate the Faithful and claim the money for themselves. Under the cover of darkness, the Traitors murder the Faithful one by one in a treacherous spree, while the Faithful try to uncloak the Traitors and banish them from the game.
