Move over, Real Housewives of New Jersey — Dolores Catania is loving The Traitors!

After discussing the future of RHONJ, Mellencamp asked the franchise favorite her thoughts on her latest gig — the hit Peacock reality series, The Traitors.
“It was the best experience of my life. I cannot wait!” Catania said.
On Oct. 31, Peacock announced that season 3 would debut on Jan. 9, 2025.
“There are no leaks in Traitors,” she said, adding that the production company in Scotland where the competition series was filmed, “does not mess around.”
“They will edit you right out of that show,” Catania continued. “I had a really good cast. You’re going to like it. Bob the Drag Queen, he’s amazing. We had our very own Robyn [Dixon] from Potomac. One of my best friends, Dorinda Medley, Ciara [Miller], Chrishelle [Stause], Gabrielle [“Gabby” Windey] — and Bob Harper was my confidant, he was there for me the whole time.”

The series will feature 21 celebrities, with three of those being hand-picked by show host Alan Cumming to be Traitors.
The remaining 18 contestants will be known as Faithfuls — and only viewers will get the chance to see who’s who on the season premiere.
Things heat up as the Traitors do their best to keep the teams from winning the prize of up to $250,000.
