The Traitors season 4 cast only features 2 Big Brother players (including one of the best players to never win)

The Traitors has a history of success casting players from other reality shows, but Big Brother is yet to have a winner. Will that change this season?

The Traitors season 4 is fast approaching, and we have the full cast list to peruse over and analyze until then. The Traitors originally started with both regular citizens and celebrities, but since then, they have shifted to only casting celebrities and/or reality show contestants from a variety of other franchises.

CBS has had a fair share of these cast members, from its two biggest competition shows, Survivor and Big Brother. While Survivor has had a winner on the show (Cirie Fields as a traitor, who also technically played Big Brother as well but is known for her Survivor stints), Big Brother is still looking for that elusive first victory.

This upcoming season 4 has only two former Big Brother cast members on it (compared to three Survivor players and a slew of Real Housewives), but the names are big ones. Is this the year that Big Brother pulls out the gold?

BIG BROTHER
BIG BROTHER announced today the 16 all-new Houseguests who will embark on the 23rd season of the series when they move into the "BB Beach Club" during the live 90-minute premiere event Wednesday, July 7 (8:00-9:30 PM, live ET/delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network. The show will also be available to stream live and on demand on the CBS app and Paramount+, where fans will also be able to watch the 24/7 live feed and find exclusive content throughout the season.

Among the cast mates for The Traitors season 4 are two iconic legends of the game, including a former winner and one of the best players to never win. Survivor also has a strong collection, consisting of two former winners and a player who is considered one of the best to never win as well. The two Big Brother selections, however, are Ian Terry and Tiffany Mitchell.

Ian Terry won Big Brother season 14 and also made a return for Big Brother All-Stars on season 22. In season 14, Ian aligned with a Big Brother mastermind, Dan Gheesling (who incidentally also played The Traitors in the past). While he was sometimes viewed as riding Dan's coattails, he made enough of a strategic impact and influence to pull off the victory. Can he lay low as a winner to make it far in the game?

Tiffany Mitchell, meanwhile, is considered a strategic mastermind and one of the best players to never win. Long credited for being the architect of the most successful alliance in Big Brother history, The Cookout, she was also the player behind the brilliant side duo strategy that kept the entire alliance insulated throughout the season. She has since competed on shows like The Challenge with less success, but will her strategy make her an asset or a liability on The Traitors.

I am not sure either of the two will be chosen as traitors, but of the two, I believe Tiffany would be the better choice. That said, I think she would be more expected by the cast as well.

The full cast for The Traitors 4

The full cast consists of 23 total players (for now, at least, since the show has historically had players join later in the season as well). Among them are Survivor winners Yam Yam Arocho and Natalie Anderson, reality television icon and podcast legend Rob Cesternino, returning Real Housewives of New York star Dorinda Medley, and Dancing with the Stars legend Mark Ballas.
