Colton Underwood Admits He Was Terrified To Film Season 4 Of 'The Traitors' With 'Real Housewives' Stars

Colton Underwood is excited for the upcoming season of "The Traitors." However, there was a specific group of people he wasn't looking forward to interacting with.

In a new interview, Colton Underwood also teased more about the upcoming season, which stars famous names such as Porsha Williams, Lisa Rinna, and "Big Brother's" Ian Terry.

Underwood, who most know from his season of "The Bachelor," spoke with Us Weekly and stated that filming the most recent season of Peacock's popular competition series was unlike anything he'd done before. "It is, by far, one of the most exciting shows that I've ever been a part of," he said.

The reality star also recalled the moment he realized that filming season 4 of "The Traitors" would involve working with some of reality TV's most combative personalities: the "Real Housewives."

"I remember when I first was getting ready to do it, I said to my husband, ‘I’m too old to be fighting with Housewives on TV. I’m scared of them. They’re a different breed. I don’t know what to do,’” he admitted.

Thankfully, Underwood's husband, Jordan Brown, whom he married in 2023, offered him the support needed to move forward. "It is the most epic season. It was so much fun," he said.

Peacock's "The Traitors" quickly became one of reality TV's most talked-about shows after its premiere in January 2023. It brings together some of reality TV's biggest names and labels them Faithfuls or Traitors. The traitors are tasked with secretly murdering the faithful without being discovered. If they make it to the end, they win the grand prize.

Previous casts have included outspoken and controversial stars, including Phaedra Parks, Tom Sandoval, Brandi Glanville, and Ryan Lochte. Although an official release date hasn't been announced for season 4, the cast will comprise stars from shows such as "Survivor," "Top Chef," "Love Island," and, of course, "Real Housewives."

In a previous interview with E! News, host Alan Cumming raved about the upcoming season, labeling a specific scene "the greatest moment in Traitors' history."

Underwood's fears about battling "Real Housewives" stars are fair, especially considering his "Bachelor" brother, Peter Weber, clashed with one from the Atlanta iteration during an explosive sit-down at the roundtable.

For those unfamiliar, after confronting Parks about her role as a traitor during season 2, Parks fired back, famously telling him, “What you might have forgot, Peter, is this is not 'The Bachelor,' and I don’t have to kiss your a-s for a rose.”

Weber told Us Weekly that going head-to-head with Parks was an "honor," joking that he was "read for filth."

"I’ve never even heard that term but read for filth by Phaedra Parks. How many people can put that on their résumé, and they did it in a castle in Scotland? I’ll take it as a badge of honor," he said.

But before Bachelor Nation can watch Underwood on the newest season of "The Traitors," they can find him hosting a new series, "Are You My First?" on Hulu.

According to Underwood, the point of the show is for contestants to lose their virginity. "And people experienced their firsts on 'Are You My First?' in different ways," he said.

Underwood went on to say that some of the show's contestants also experienced other things on a deeper level, such as "self-acceptance."

He added, "And I would like to think after a lot of them have lost their virginity, they might have had those tools to do that from the experience.”

On Instagram, Underwood shared a carousel of images of himself doing NYC press for "Are You My First?"

In the caption of the photos, which featured him holding a drink, smiling with friends, and some solo shots, Underwood thanked his nearly two million followers for supporting the show.

He also asked his fans to continue showing love to the cast of the show, thanking them for showing "love, patience, and kindness."

"This show was very much equal parts self-discovery as it is dating, and after being in their shoes before, hearing from the viewers and relating with your own stories means the world to them," he finished.
