Donna Kelce<\/a> became the first Traitor to fall in The Traitors<\/a><\/strong> Season 4, Episode 3. In the premiere episode, The NFL mom was selected for a coveted new position in the castle: The Secret Traitor. Unlike the other Traitors, Donna worked in the shadows<\/a>. Neither the players, the Traitors, nor viewers at home knew her identity. Her job was to produce a murder shortlist that was handed to the Traitors, informing them which players were available for murder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Episode 3, Donna’s reign of secrecy came to an end when she was banished at the roundtable. “You got yourselves a Traitor,” she exclaimed before exiting the castle. With Donna gone, the Secret Traitor role is officially back in play. So, which player should be chosen for this powerful role? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our picks for who the next Traitor should be in Season 4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Secret Traitor holds considerable power in the game. They determine who is in danger of being axed each episode, and they have the advantage of operating in secret. In previous seasons, the Traitors had to trust that their villainous teammates would not expose them at the roundtable. You would think the Traitors would have each other’s backs, but this has not been the case. In Season 2, Dan Gheesling<\/a> threw his fellow Traitor, Phaedra Parks<\/a>, to the wolves in an attempt to save his own game. The following season, “Boston Rob” Mariano<\/a> did the same to his Traitorous ally, Bob the Drag Queen<\/a>. So, yes, the Secret Traitor has quite the advantage here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don’t know for sure that a new Secret Traitor will be selected, but I suspect Donna will be<\/a> replaced. Here are the individuals I believe are the top contenders…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stephen Colletti  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Stephen

Stephen Colletti<\/a> is keeping a low profile on The Traitors, which will likely help him advance in the game<\/a>. The Laguna Beach alum isn’t on anyone’s radar at the moment. The Faithfuls seem confident he is one of them, and the Traitors don’t seem to view him as an immediate threat. Although Stephen is perceived as non-threatening to his fellow players, it is clear to viewers at home that he is quite intelligent. It is evident in his confessionals that he has a solid understanding of the game and he appears keenly aware of the social dynamics within the castle. For these reasons, I think he would make a great Secret Traitor. I trust that he will be able to conceal his power, and convince his fellow players that he is merely a powerless faithful. Also, he is the only actor in the group, which may give him an advantage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tiffany Mitchell<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tiffany Mitchell<\/a> played a brilliant, strategic game on Big Brother<\/a> 23. She didn’t win the game, but she earned a prestigious reputation within the Big Brother fandom. There is a reason that Survivor legend Rob Cesternino<\/a> treated her with such reverence in The Traitors premiere. She really is a big deal within the gamers community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe we are only seeing half of Tiffany’s abilities because of her current position as a Faithful. She is itching for some power, and I hope she gets it. The current Traitors are playing it safe, but I know Tiffany would shake up the game<\/a>. She would considerable thought into who to put on the shortlist for murder. There is, however, one downside to choosing Tiffany. Unlike Stephen, she isn’t skating by unnoticed. Colton Underwood<\/a> suspects she is a Traitor, which means she could be headed out the door soon if he brings his theory to the roundtable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colton Underwood<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of Colton, he would also be a solid choice to replace Donna. The Bachelor alum has received praise for his perceptiveness and strategic ability<\/a>, drawing comparisons to Traitors Season 2 standout Peter Weber. Colton didn\u2019t come here to coast. And we want a Secret Traitor who is ready to get their hands dirty. It’s clear to us that Colton is a competitor, but his fellow players may not view him that way. He is best known for being on a dating show, so his cast mates not view him as a strategic threat. His background could help him conceal his role as the Secret Traitor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Traitors<\/a> is available to stream on Peacock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
