Everyone else \u2014 the Faithfuls, as they\u2019re known \u2014 is tasked with sniffing out the Traitors, inevitably turning on one another in the process.ImageThe real thrust of the action is the evolving social dynamic among the nearly two dozen contestants, who arrive as part of existing factions. The so-called Gamer contingent (plucked from competition shows like \u201cSurvivor\u201d and \u201cBig Brother\u201d) meets reality TV characters from the globe-spanning \u201cReal Housewives\u201d universe, \u201cThe Bachelor\u201d and \u201cLove Island.\u201d Sprinkle in some queens from \u201cRuPaul\u2019s Drag Race,\u201d a \u201cTop Chef\u201d and a few secret ingredients and you have an unscripted stew with notes of both comfort and spice.As \u201cThe Traitors\u201d solidifies its reputation for assembling an \u201cAvengers\u201d lineup of reality TV heroes and villains, the behind-the-scenes executives responsible for casting the show revealed their methods for building the ideal mix of complementary and clashing personalities. (Spoilers ahead.)Lean Into Existing Fandoms\u201cPeople tune in for one person.\u201dVideoCreditCredit...Decades into the evolution of reality programming \u2014 and the stigmas around it \u2014 the pool of potential participants has greatly expanded, according to the veteran casting director Deena Katz, an executive producer of \u201cTraitors\u201d who has worked on other medley shows like \u201cDancing With the Stars\u201d and \u201cThe Masked Singer.\u201dKatz, the primary talent wrangler for a show this freewheeling, considers this evolution a major boon for her casting alchemy.\u201cSome of the bad P.R. that unscripted shows would get is like, \u2018Oh, it\u2019s all has-beens, people that don\u2019t have a job,\u2019\u201d she said. But as the idea of celebrity has widened to include influencers, creators and niche stars whose reach is not actually so niche, \u201cit\u2019s a whole different word,\u201d Katz added. The \u201cbuckets\u201d she uses to cast the show \u2014 now including everyone from podcasters to viral TikTokers \u2014 \u201chave opened up.\u201dTake Donna Kelce, the mother of the N.F.L. champions Jason and Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift\u2019s fianc\u00e9:ImageMama Kelce, was a big, left-field get for \u201cTraitors\u201d this season \u2014 a reality TV superfan who brought at least three distinct demographics of potential viewers with her: \u201cShe crosses over so many boxes, because if you\u2019re a football fan then Donna ticks it for you,\u201d Katz said. \u201cIf you\u2019re older and you watch these shows always rooting for the older one, Donna ticks it for you.\u201dAnd then there\u2019s the Swiftie contingent, which put Kelce, 73, squarely in the center of the zeitgeist. \u201cThe idea that you\u2019re watching at home and you\u2019ve got to figure that Taylor and Travis were having a viewing party just like you,\u201d Katz said. \u201cI think that\u2019s great fun.\u201d\u201cTraitors\u201d gained another untapped audience with the casting of Eric Nam, a veteran K-pop performer and songwriter with millions of Instagram followers:Image\u201cIn this past year, as a company, we\u2019ve been looking at how to incorporate the popularity and the fandom of K-pop,\u201d said Christine Cowan, the senior vice president of talent and casting for NBCUniversal, referring to fans known for their intense, participatory fervor.\u201cPeople tune in for one person,\u201d Cowan said. \u201cIf you pull in different pockets, they will come.\u201dEmbrace Corporate Crossover\u201cTelevision people watch television.\u201dVideoCreditCredit...The backbone of the \u201cTraitors\u201d cast, as with most all-star assemblages across entertainment, is corporate synergy.\u201cI do have buckets of like, NBC\/Peacock talent,\u201d Katz said of the show\u2019s parent company, NBCUniversal, which also runs Bravo, with its franchises like \u201cThe Real Housewives,\u201d \u201cVanderpump Rules\u201d and \u201cTop Chef.\u201d\u201cI love synergy. I love crossover. I think that\u2019s fantastic,\u201d Katz said. Cowan estimated, \u201cIf you have a cast of 23, 24, I feel like we probably have at least one-third, almost one-half, of NBCUniversal talent.\u201dThis year, in addition to the \u201cTop Chef\u201d winner-turned-host Kristen Kish\u2026VideoCreditCredit...\u2026and five Housewives, including Lisa Rinna\u2026VideoCreditCredit...\u2026the cast features the former Olympic figure skaters Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir, real-life best friends and commentating partners for NBC\u2019s coverage of the Winter Games.Image\u201cWe\u2019re not stupid,\u201d Katz said. \u201cThe Winter Olympics are going to be airing right when this is on and that\u2019s going to be all over, on every television.\u201dStill, some flexibility among rival network executives is crucial to Katz\u2019s mix.The casting director has dipped into her relationships from ABC\u2019s \u201cDancing With the Stars,\u201d where she originally used three of this season\u2019s \u201cTraitors\u201d contestants (Weir, Rinna and Mark Ballas).Players from \u201cSurvivor\u201d and \u201cBig Brother,\u201d both CBS properties, have also been key characters in every season of \u201cTraitors,\u201d despite some admitted territorial reservations from the \u201cSurvivor\u201d host Jeff Probst. Still, Cirie Fields, who first appeared on \u201cSurvivor\u201d in 2006 and starred in the first season of \u201cTraitors\u201d in 2023, will be back on Probst\u2019s island for the show\u2019s 50th season, which begins airing this month.VideoCreditCredit...\u201cI do love when the networks open up this way,\u201d Katz said, adding that audiences don\u2019t tend to care where they\u2019re following their favorites. \u201cTelevision people watch television.\u201dExplore Interpersonal Lore\u201cIt really helps to turbocharge a season.\u201dVideoCreditCredit...Network loyalty isn\u2019t enough on its own to make a strong cast. In the case of Lipinski and Weir, their offscreen friendship was also a necessary ingredient in their selection, given how it could affect strategic gameplay.\u201cWe thought of them as a duo going in,\u201d Katz said \u2014 another one of her go-to buckets for casting. \u201cIs there a bromance? Is there a couple? A mother and daughter? Is it good that you\u2019re in a team? Is it bad?\u201dMost players know going in that Housewives and Survivors tend to stick together in voting blocs \u2014 at least until they don\u2019t \u2014 so Rinna voting early on against Porsha Williams, a fellow Housewife, led to a multi-episode plotline this season about suspicions she could be a Traitor:VideoCreditCredit...In addition to presumed loyalty, personal baggage works, too. In past seasons, fruitful \u201cTraitors\u201d plotlines have involved simmering, sometimes decades-long beef between pairs like CT Tamburello and Trishelle Cannatella, onetime rivals from their MTV days who forged a shaky, paranoid alliance through Season 2 of \u201cTraitors\u201d\u2026VideoCreditCredit...\u2026or Britney Haynes and Danielle Reyes, whose revenge arc on Season 3 of \u201cTraitors\u201d stemmed from unhealed wounds originating on \u201cBig Brother.\u201dVideoCreditCredit...\u201cIt really helps to turbocharge a season, to get it running on full cylinders from the off,\u201d said Sam Rees-Jones, a \u201cTraitors\u201d executive producer. \u201cA more layered history, be it beef or friendship, helps cement the cast quickly, to get the story running at 100 miles an hour straight away,\u201d leading to \u201csome brilliant arcs.\u201dWelcome Chaos (to a Point)\u201cI don\u2019t like when anyone fights and yells.\u201dVideoCreditCredit...In the pressure cooker of reality competition \u2014 the \u201cTraitors\u201d cast is secluded for weeks in remote Scotland \u2014 clashes are unavoidable, and are often good TV. Just how loose the resident loose cannons should be is a balance that Katz and her fellow executives try to strike.\u201cI don\u2019t like when anyone fights and yells,\u201d the casting director said. \u201cThat\u2019s not my thing. I don\u2019t look for that on any of my shows. It\u2019s like, there\u2019s going to be drama,\u201d she added, \u201cbut you also want everyone to feel really comfortable.\u201dEnter Michael Rapaport.Though most recognizable today as a social-media loudmouth and podcaster, Rapaport was once known as a character actor in films like \u201cTrue Romance\u201d and \u201cBamboozled.\u201d To Katz\u2019s daughter, though, he was \u201cthe police officer who dated Phoebe,\u201d the casting director said, \u201cso she\u2019s like, \u2018Oh my God, mom, you got somebody great from \u2018Friends\u2019!\u201dImageCredit... Katz acknowledged that Rapaport could be polarizing \u2014 never shy about his opinions on rap, gentrification, the New York Knicks or Israel \u2014 but insisted that wasn\u2019t the reason she chose him. \u201cHe\u2019s a firecracker,\u201d she said. \u201cHe is also really funny. I think he\u2019s great.\u201dCrucially, he is also a Housewives scholar and superfan, appearing on Bravo\u2019s \u201cWatch What Happens Live\u201d and as a panel moderator at the BravoCon fan convention.\u201cHow fun to have him on, knowing he\u2019s a big Housewives fan, because what\u2019s he going to do when he meets the Housewives?\u201d Katz said. \u201cDo they like him, do they not like him? He\u2019s going to know people in that house that you might not realize he knows.\u201dDrama can also come in less-suspecting packages. \u201cTraitors\u201d chaos this season has revolved around the former \u201cBachelorette\u201d and \u201cBachelor\u201d contestant Colton Underwood, a onetime pro football player who came out as gay after his time on the dating shows.VideoCreditCredit...(In 2020, before coming out, Underwood was the subject of a restraining order related to accusations that he had stalked his \u201cBachelor\u201d girlfriend, a point of controversy and extracurricular drama surrounding \u201cTraitors\u201d this season. The restraining order was dropped later that year.)Dividing fans, Underwood has played the white hat, \u201cknight in shining armor\u201d role \u2014 a \u201cTraitors\u201d archetype previously filled by Dylan Efron, brother of the actor Zac, and Peter Weber, known as Pilot Pete, another former Bachelor \u2014 but also attracted ire both in and out of the castle because of his history and aggressive gameplay.ImageAfter fans (and fellow contestants, like Rinna) seized on the past accusations against Underwood, leading to threats and recriminations, the show released a statement condemning the \u201ccyberbullying or harassment\u201d of its players.Leave Room for a Lovable Wild Card\u201cPart of liking \u2018Traitors\u2019 is you kind of become their friends, right?\u201dVideoCreditCredit...Because \u201cTraitors\u201d unfolds in an unpredictable way \u2014 the much-hyped Kelce, for example, lasted only three episodes before being banished \u2014 casting must leave room for Cinderella stories, in which lesser-known underdogs can emerge as favorites.\u201cOut of any other show I\u2019ve worked on, it is the most hands-off, genuinely,\u201d Rees-Jones said. \u201cWe create a set, we create a rulebook for them and we open the castle gates.\u201d He added, \u201cWe would never tell anyone who to talk to, what to talk about \u2014 you can\u2019t, because there\u2019s a secret at the heart of the show.\u201dAmid splashier names this season, Rob Rausch, an aw-shucks, snake-catching charmer already known to \u201cLove Island\u201d fans, has become a breakout sensation thanks to his laid-back mien, sharp vocabulary and confident style, like going shirtless under overalls:Image\u201cIt\u2019s really funny,\u201d Katz said, \u201chow important everybody\u2019s wardrobe is.\u201d Contestants bring their own clothes, which have become an important ingredient in how fans respond to their presence.The casting director pointed to Gabby Windey, of the \u201cBachelor\u201d universe, as an earlier contestant who used \u201cTraitors\u201d as a launchpad to wider celebrity, because she played a more psychologically complex game than audiences may have expected from a former N.F.L. cheerleader:VideoCreditCredit...Katz noted that audiences got to see a smarter, savvier side of Windey, who also worked as an E.R. nurse before becoming the Bachelorette (and later, like Underwood, coming out as queer). \u201cI think part of \u2018Traitors\u2019 is you kind of become their friends, right?\u201d she added, which in turn leads to more opportunity.\u201cThere is such a thing now as the professional reality star,\u201d said Rachel Smith, the executive vice president of unscripted content at NBCUniversal. \u201cYou can make a living doing this.\u201dKatz, who is currently winnowing down hundreds of names for Season 5, keeps a running list of potential talent at all times \u2014 the more \u201cout-of-the-box,\u201d the better. \u201cI want to find more Donna Kelces,\u201d she said, adding that she pores over Reddit and blogs and has even been known to Google, Who do you want in Season 5 of \u201cTraitors\u201d?\u201cI want to see what the audience likes,\u201d Katz said. \u201cI\u2019m not making this for me.\u201dPhoto and video credits: Peacock (\u201cTraitors\u201d and \u201cLove Island\u201d); NFL (Donna Kelce and Taylor Swift); ABC (\u201cThe Bachelor\u201d and \u201cBachelor in Paradise\u201d); Bravo (\u201cThe Real Housewives of New York, Potomac, Beverly Hills and Atlanta\u201d and \u201cTop Chef\u201d); Christian Petersen\/Getty Images (Travis and Donna Kelce); Roberto Ricciuti\/Redferns, via Getty Images (Eric Nam); Loccisano\/Getty Images (Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir); CBS (\u201cSurvivor\u201d and \u201cBig Brother\u201d); Bright\/Kauffmann\/Crane Productions, via Everett Collection (\u201cFriends\u201d)Joe Coscarelli is a culture reporter for The Times who focuses on popular music and a co-host of the Times podcast \u201cPopcast (Deluxe).\u201dSee more on: Bravo, NBC Universal, Tara Lipinski, Johnny WeirRead 1 commentShare full articleRelated ContentAdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENT",
