These RuPaul Queens Would 'Kill' on the Next Season of 'The Traitors'

Jake Myers READ TIME: 11 MIN.

Jessica Wild


Part of the appeal of "The Traitors" is that not everyone is a villain, and it's up to the contestants to root them out. We've added Jessica to the mix purely for joyous humor and entertainment. We'll need some comic relief in a show that's generally dark, and Jessica makes us smile more than any other queen. Beaming with light and love, and jiggling boobs, Jessica would probably be best as a faithful, rather than a traitor. We're not sure she has it in her to manipulate and lie, but we're cackling thinking of her facial expressions after a murder. Half the time, it's hard to understand what she's saying, but as Jessica once said, "My biggest fear in the competition is with my English, but if I don't understand something I am going to smile." Us too, girl. Us too.

Plane Jane


In the current season of "Drag Race," Season 16, a villain has clearly emerged, but her drag is also giving us life. Plane Jane is unpredictable, and a bit scary, which is why she would be completely intriguing on "The Traitors." During the "Rate a Queen" twist on the new episodes, her strategy involved manipulating the results by voting backwards, so who knows what unpredictable shenanigans she'd pull off in the Scottish castle? At the very least, it would be fun to see her ruthlessly eviscerate her fellow contestants, all while claiming she was "joking," of course.

Silky Nutmeg Ganache


OK, you caught us. We kiiiiiind of included Silky solely because she's the ultimate lip-sync assassin, holding the record for the most lip-syncs in one episode, and most lip-sync wins in one episode, where she competed in seven lip-syncs and won six (in "All Stars" Season 6, episode 10). But what that shows, more than anything, is that Silky is scrappy, and that's what you need when you're battling a bunch of camera-hungry celebrities on a reality show. We know Silky would give us some "moments," with her incredible looks, loud and boisterous personality, and if we're lucky, one of her iconic stage kicks.

Kandy Muse


Speaking of scrappy, we know Miss Muse would be formidable on a show about calling out the lies, and exposing the truth. Her entrance quote, "From the hood to Hollywood" exemplifies perfectly what we get with Kandy, which makes her such a captivating TV character. Our only fear, with that loud and domineering voice: Will anyone else be able to get a word in at the round table?

Willam


Everyone loves the contestant who can't really take anything too seriously, and rolls their eyes the entire time. We can't imagine that Willam would care that much about the competition (a la Kate Chastain in Season 1), but that nonchalant attitude is what gives her charm. During the competitions, we can envision her scoffing at the seriousness of it all, with her "I don't give a sh*t" vibe, cracking up the viewers. It's always fun when someone breaks through the third wall to mock their fellow housemates, or even the game itself, and bring a little levity to the show.

RUNNERS UP: Alyssa Edwards (camp, dah'ling, camp!), Lawrence Chaney (the accent!), Ra'Ja O'Hara (the confessionals!)
