The Traitors Season 3 Is Here, And The Internet Can’t Get Over Who Alan Cumming Chose

Spoilers ahead for the first two episodes of The Traitors Season 3.

In just a few years The Traitors has become wildly popular, considered one of the best reality shows out there. While some folks are still figuring out how to watch The Traitors, the third season has arrived with a whopping three new episodes for those with a Peacock subscription. As always, the first episode began with three contestants becoming the titular murderous Traitors, and the internet can’t get over who Alan Cumming chose.

Emmy winner Alan Cumming returned to host yet another season of The Traitors, complete with camp, fashion, and his wild Moira Rose-inspired accent. The three members of The Traitors Season 3 cast who he chose for murder and deception are Survivor standout Carolyn Wiger, RuPaul's Drag Race winner Bob The Drag Queen, as well as Big Brother icon Danielle Reyes. The internet exploded as a result of these three choices, with Tweets comparing it to the original lineup from other seasons. As one fan posted:

Honestly, it is a strong group. And on top of having three strategic minds in the turret for The Traitors Season 3, all three of Cumming's picks are sounbite machines who are making the show more entertaining.

The pairing of these three very different players is a thrilling one, with another tweet comparing the reality show to the popular video game series Super Smash Brothers. Check it out:

After Peppermint was voted off first last season, Drag Race fans and LGBTQ+ viewers in general are thrilled that Bob will have more power in Season 3. There's also two female powerhouses are joining him in the turret in Carolyn and Danielle, with a funny tweet poking fun at queer fans through a classic Erika Jayne meme.

Of course, no one is expecting this trio to survive until the end. And things are made more complicated when it was revealed that Boston Rob was returning to the game as a Traitor. There's four of them now, and someone's going to end up being eliminated. One tweet pointed to the fact that Carolyn might be the last one standing, it reads:

While we don't know what's going to happen throughout Season 3 of The Traitors, the original three lineup for the murderous cloaked villains is definitely thrilling, and one that's sure to be wildly entertaining. Another tweet pointed this out:

Everyone's favorite reality TV crossover competition is officially back, with Peacock treating fans to three episodes on premiere day. Tension is already growing, especially with three more characters added to the game. We'll just have to wait and see what goes down, and which Traitor ends up being eliminated first.
