Dylan Efron made quite an impact when The Traitors Season 3 premiered on the 2025 TV schedule, becoming a celebrity in his own right and not just “Zac’s brother” anymore. Now that The Traitors Season 4 cast has been finalized, Dylan is giving his honest reactions to the reality TV contestants, and I think he’s got a fantastic take on how the castle will (or at least should) react to Donna Kelce.
That’s right, Donna Kelce — mother to NFL stars Jason and Travis Kelce and potential future mother-in-law to Taylor Swift — is joining the reality TV world after making her acting debut in two Hallmark Christmas movies last year. Dylan Efron seems very excited about the maternal touch Mama Kelce will bring to The Traitors (streaming with a Peacock subscription). But she’s got something bigger working in her favor, Efron said on TikTok:
I love this casting. Carry the torch, girl! It reminds me of the UK seasons with Linda and having a maternal figure there. She’s gonna crush because of that. People are gonna want her in the castle. And also, who’s gonna vote her out and ruin that chance to meet Taylor Swift? Like, let’s be honest. Win the show or go watch a Chiefs game in the box with Taylor Swift?
Zac Efron’s brother has his eye on, Dorinda Medley — of The Real Housewives of New York City fame — may have a huge target on her back, while Survivor’s Rob Rausch may be an underdog if his castmates underestimate him. Take a look at Dylan’s full post:

Dylan Efron went on to release a second reaction video in which he also said he’s eyeing Dancing with the Stars pro Mark Ballas for a long run. With so many strong “gamers” and Housewives like Lisa Rinna amongst the cast, The Traitors’ lesser-known personalities like Ballas (or, in my opinion, Top Chef host Kristen Kish or Olympic ice skaters Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski) may not be seen as much of a threat.
As far as who he doesn’t see making it to the end, Dylan Efron suggested controversial cast member Michael Rapaport isn’t long for this game. I’m excited to hear if Efron shares any more opinions, but I’m really just looking forward to The Traitors Season 4 premiering on Peacock. Keep an eye out for a premiere date.
