MsMojo Fancasts: Traitors, Survivor 50, & House of Villains
MsMojo Fancasts The Traitors, Survivor 50 & More
Welcome to MsMojo, and today were discussing our all-star choices for the upcoming seasons of The Traitors, Survivor, and House of Villains.
House of Villains
Q Burdette
Survivor player Quintavius Burdette, known as Q on the island, made more waves than a typhoon during his time in Fiji. Known for his intensity and cutthroat approach to the game, Burdette became public enemy number one on the island. Even after threatening to quit and masterminding some blindsides, he managed to make it all the way to 6th place. He earned fans and haters by constantly creating chaos within the game, and kept old-school reality TV fans fed every week. Thats exactly why he would be perfect on House of Villains. His alpha gameplay, self-serving strategizing, and entertaining confessionals would be an ideal fit for the show.
Monica Garcia
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City got a major shock when they realized there was a snake in the snow. In the shows fourth season finale, first-year Housewife Monica Garcia was revealed as one of the people behind a heinous gossip account that had dogged the ladies for months. It remains one of the juiciest plot twists in all of Real Housewives history. Garcias complete 180 is the stuff of a great psychological thriller. Anyone who can stir up that much drama and then get themselves invited on the show is a lock for an all-villains cast.
Russell Hantz
From lying about being affected by Hurricane Katrina to blindsiding as many allies as he could, Russell Hantz gave a masterclass in messy reality villainy. But this Survivor villains antics are just too much for a show where your competitors have to hold their nose and vote to give you a million dollars at the end. However, a house full of self-serving vipers might be just the ticket. It would be amazing to see Hantz outmaneuver other reality TV vipers. Honestly, watching a Real Housewife go toe to toe with Survivors most infamous bad guy sounds like TV gold.
Abby Lee Miller
Whats a season of House of Villains without its resident ex-con? Abby Lee Miller terrorized viewers as the demanding dance teacher of performers like Maddie Ziegler and JoJo Siwa. Neither adults nor kids were safe from her vitriol. Her tough teaching style and snap judgments made her a reality legend. Then, in 2017, Miller was sentenced to a year in prison for fraud. Since her incarceration ended, the dance teacher has tried to relaunch her career as a TV personality. Shes already appeared as a guest on the first season of House of Villains. Lets throw her on the main cast for Season 3.
Plane Jane
Forget All Stars. Send Plane Jane into the villa of villainy, and shell have that entire house in shambles. Few Drag Race fans have a neutral opinion of Plane Jane. Love her or hate her, she is here to win, and thats it. With her snide comments and unbridled shade, Plane was made for the pettiness of House of Villains. The thing about this Season 16 finalist is that she is just genuinely unbothered by the competition. Can you imagine her mixing it up with her fellow drama-stirrers? This is something we needed to see yesterday.
Angelina Pivarnick
If theres anyone who knows how to shine while living in a house full of unhinged antics, its a former Jersey Shore castmate. Angelina Pivarnick left the show after constant clashes with her housemates, particularly Nicole Snooki Polizzi. Where her castmates were only interested in partying and being messy, Pivarnick was seen as the house buzzkill. Whats more, she didnt care. At every turn, she made it clear that her roommates thoughts and opinions didnt cross her mind for one second, and their behavior was beneath her. Its exactly that energy that would make her tailored for House of Villains.
Survivor 50
Natalie Bolton
When Survivor returns for its milestone 50th season with a cast full of all-stars, we hope they delve back into the shows past for contenders. Many fans believe Natalie Bolton should be a lock. Cast as a fan on the 16th season of the CBS show set in Micronesia, Bolton was unashamed of picking off her male castmates one by one. As part of the Black Widow alliance with show legends Cirie Fields and Parvati Shallow, Bolton oversaw some of the wickedest moves in the games history. The fact that she hasnt been back yet should be just one of the many wrongs righted by another All-Star season.
Malcolm Freberg
When he first competed in the Philippines, Malcolm Freberg was a deadly opponent. Not only was he an incredible strategist, but he had the charm and athletic ability to be an asset in every element of the game. He also managed to get along with everybody. With his tendency to find hidden Immunity Idol, hes sure to be incredible in a more recent season, which is full of advantages just waiting to be found. His game ended brutally three different times, but his popularity warrants another shot. As recently as 2021, Freberg said that if Survivor ever called again, he would find it hard not to answer.
Cydney Gillon
This champion bodybuilder was in her early 20s when she first appeared on her season. As part of the brawn tribe in Season 32, Cydney Gillon endured some of the harshest conditions Survivor contestants have ever been put through. Given her impressive and winning physique, Gillon also charmed fans with her incredible personality. Since her time on the show, shes won the prestigious Ms. Olympia prize in bodybuilding eight consecutive times. She may not need to add Sole Survivor to her list of accomplishments, but wed love to see her back for another try.
Christian Hubicki
As one of the breakout stars of the shows 37th season, the nerdy robotics scientist quickly came to epitomize the seasons David vs. Goliath theme. Christian Hubicki won fans over with his logical gameplay and surprising prowess in the challenges. Despite receiving an almost record amount of votes, he was beloved. This is ultimately what made him a threat. But his social standing among his castmates shocked even him. His is a story that many fans would love to see continue. If hes not a lock for Survivor 50, we have no idea what casting is doing.
Jesse Lopez
This Survivor 43 players upsetting backstory made him an instant favorite. Jesse Lopez was more than his past. He came into the game with his eyes on the prize. Providing for his family was his number one goal. He got to 4th place that season through sheer grit, determination, big moves, and even bigger blindsides. Although his time was cut short, many fans consider him a highlight of an otherwise mediocre season. In fact, its pretty widely believed that if he made it to the finals, he would have walked away a winner. When Survivor 50 comes around, he needs his second chance.
Carolyn Wiger
Between her initial run on Season 44 and the third season of The Traitors, Carolyn Wiger has earned so much love for her quirky personality and inability to hide her feelings. That turns out to be her secret weapon. If shes cast on Survivor 50, Wiger will probably fly under the radar like always. Her secret weapon is that people underestimate her. Her explosion in popularity alone should make her a big draw. However, if her social media outrage is any indication, she may have already been cut from the potential season. That sounds like a huge mistake on CBS part if its true.
The Traitors
Anna Delvey
Anna Sorokin has already lied, deceived, and defrauded her way into infamy. Whats a little murder? Sorokin, also known as Anna Delvey, is the Russian-born con artist who faked her way into the ranks of New York upper crusters by pretending to be one of them. Shes a tantalizing choice for a season of The Traitors. Her meme-worthy appearance on Dancing with the Stars already shows she can be exceptional TV. As soon as she enters the castle, no one will know if they can trust her, which could make her the most dangerous player of all.
Dr. Will Kirby
This Big Brother legend did appear on The Traitors, but unfortunately for fans, he was only a special guest star for a prize task. We want more. Seeing the snarky surgeon and expert strategist go toe to toe with Alan Cumming would be so satisfying. Hed probably lose, but itd be fun to watch the fashionable host crush him. Judging from his days on Big Brother and Deal or No Deal Island, Kirby would totally thrive in such a chaotic, cutthroat environment. His devious reputation precedes him, and that could make him an equally strong Traitor or Faithful.
NeNe Leakes
Shes one of the OGs of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. If Peacock wants a great fourth season, they need to fly her out to Scotland. NeNe Leakes could start a beef with the peacocks on the castle grounds. She has an uncanny ability to deliver impromptu punchlines and classic moments with stunning ease. Leakes would make an amazing Faithful. She would keep her foot on those Traitors necks, and not let up until each one was snuffed out. Just imagining her accusing and throwing people under the bus should be enough to sell the casting team on this one.
Trixie Mattel
In a 2024 YouTube video, the RuPauls Drag Race all-star, singer-songwriter, and cosmetic mogul revealed that she was asked to fill a spot on The Traitors. To our utter devastation, she declined. Its a shame, because shes great TV. Trixies insistence that she wouldnt be a good Traitor is exactly why she needs to be cast. The Traitors needs good narrators, and Trixies confessionals are always a treat. She would be amazing to watch. Just seeing her react to the insanity of murders, mayhem, and backstabbing would be enough to fuel an entire season.
Tiffany New York Pollard
Lets be clear. We dont care if shes a Traitor, if shes a Faithful, or if she takes Alan Cummings place as host. Tiffany New York Pollard needs to be in that castle as soon as humanly possible. Honestly, its crazy she hasnt been there yet. Known for her histrionics, boundless confidence, and withering put-downs, Pollard has made a name for herself as the baddest reality TV villainess in the game. Watching her tell it like it is at the Roundtable would be enough for anyone to know shes a Faithful. Itd be just as hilarious watching her commit murders each night in the Traitors Turret.
Bowen Yang
Every season of The Traitors could use some levity. The Saturday Night Live regular has talked about his fandom of the show before, but thats not enough. We need to see him prove it. Yangs comedy chops would be more than at home in the campy, competitive atmosphere of the Traitors castle. We could easily see him charming his way to the top and winning it all. Traitor or Faithful, Yang would be a welcome addition to the Season 4 cast. As long as he can keep a straight face at the Roundtable, that is.
