Peacock’s Emmy-winning competition series “The Traitors” is gearing up for its third season of lies, betrayals and cloaks. Due out in early 2025, the Season 3 cast features a lineup of familiar faces from reality TV shows like “Survivor,” “Big Brother,” “The Bachelor” and “The Real Housewives,” plus a Hollywood actor, a British Royal and a WWE Wrestler.
Just like the first two seasons, the new installment will take place in the Scottish Highlands with Alan Cumming back as the impeccably dressed host. The cast, which was announced on June 5, will be randomly divided into villainous Traitors (those responsible for murdering their fellow players) and heroic Faithfuls (those who try to uncover the truth). The ultimate winner(s) will take home a cash prize of up to $250,000.

Alan Cumming unveiled the cast list for Season 3 of Peaock’s hit reality competition The Traitors, including two Bachelor Nation stars. Which alums will go from handing out or accepting roses to being a Faithful or Traitor?
Former Bachelorette Joins Traitors
A Bachelor Nation alum has yet to win on Peacock’s reality competition, The Traitors. Arie Luyendyk came pretty close in Season 1. He quit the show during the finale, leaving Survivor alum Cirie Fields the winner.
Peter Weber represented Bachelor Nation on Season 2 of the reality show hosted by Alan Cumming. He didn’t win, but he made a favorable impression on viewers for his keen gameplay. Bachelor Nation alums seem to have better luck on Fox’s Special Forces. Hannah Brown Nick Viall, and Tyler Cameron (Season 2) have all completed the challenges and made it to the end of the military-style tests.

Maren Morris made history Saturday night in New York City when she became the first country music artist to receive GLAAD’s excellence in media award.
During the 34th annual GLAAD Media Awards, the Grammy-winning performer was presented with the honor by Cynthia Lee Fontaine and Alyssa Edwards.
“I felt a little badass taking on Tucker Carlson for calling me a lunatic for standing up to transphobia,” Morris told the crowd while holding her trophy. “Maybe I did feel a little cool. But I don’t want to gloat. I would never insult the recently unemployed.”
The New York Hilton Midtown ballroom erupted in hoots and loud applause that made the “My Church” singer pause and smile.
The LGBTQ+ supporter famously had a war of words with the recently terminated Fox News personality when he dubbed her a “lunatic” and a “fake country music singer” during an interview with Brittany Aldean in August.

Thanks to the success of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and its spinoffs, drag has hit the mainstream in recent years — and at the same time, is under attack in the U.S., with several Republican-run states having introduced legislation to ban drag while scaling back hard-fought Lgbtqia+ rights.
Queens throughout America are fighting back, and have assembled a star-studded array of talent to participate in the “Drag Isn’t Dangerous” telethon, set to stream live at DragIsntDangerous.com on Sunday, May 7.
“According to the ACLU, there are currently 467 bills in the United States legislature targeting the Lgbtqia+ community,” notes the telethon’s website.

“We’re breaking ground here,” Brad Goreski declares minutes into the series premiere of MTV’s newest unscripted drama, “The Real Friends of Weho.”
We’ve seen Goreski on our TV screens for 15 years now, from his early days as Rachel Zoe’s assistant to his stints on “Fashion Police” and “Canada’s Drag Race.” He’s still styling his celebrity clients. He’s still happily married to Gary Janetti. He has a beautiful home. All wonderful things, but not groundbreaking.
“My ideal date night is pizza on Sunday,” he admits. Same, Brad, same. So why do we need to see more?

Each week on “Whatcha Packin’,” Michelle Visage interviews the recently eliminated queen and shows us some of the runway looks they didn’t get the chance to use on the show. Following her episode 3 elimination, Princess Poppy stopped by to discuss how her drag career started and about her artistic influences. Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.
In her interview with Michelle, Poppy describes her upbringing in North Carolina as super supportive because she comes from a mostly liberal family with liberal-minded parents. Michelle points out that a lot of the season 15 queens come from supportive families and hopes it is a sign that the tides are turning in terms of familial support for the Lgbtqia+ community. Poppy went on to say that she was brought to San Francisco via his fiancé that he met on Grindr while they were both living in New York.

On January 6, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 15 premieres on MTV with 16 all-new queens, the largest starting cast in the series to date. The contestants will be competing for the show’s biggest purse in herstory as well — a whopping 200,000 grand prize. As any superfan would know, each season is accompanied by a weekly recap series “The Pit Stop,” hosted by a former queen and featuring guest stars. On December 20, the official Drag Race Twitter feed announced that this season’s host is none other than season 6 winner Bianca Del Rio.
Bianca follows in the footsteps of legendary winners Bob the Drag Queen, Monet X Change and Trixie Mattel that all hosted “The Pit Stop” in past seasons. The weekly recap series is one of the most memeable parts of the Drag Race universe. We will always remember when Violet Chachki hit repeat on the “No” button in Trixie’s season 13 episode...

In the final scene of each episode, the queens' drag children perform. The queer and trans performers, many of them people of color, bathe in the cathartic roar of community support many didn't know they had. The straight participants...
