The Love Island alum's strong suit is that he's, well, good looking. And, the reality star hails from a small town, which may mean that his appealing charm and likeability are his biggest assets.

Chris hails from The Challenge and is nicknamed Uncle "CT" but don't let the familiar moniker fool you. He has won the show not once, not even twice — but five times!

Dan Gheesling, a Big Brother alum, holds the distinct honor of having won the first unanimous vote. So, he's a great player of games like the ones he'll have to master to out-maneuver others on The Traitors.

Deontay knows a thing or two about being competitive, having boxed professionally at the highest levels. The so-called "Bronze Bomber" won't go out of the this competition without a fight, so to speak!

Ekin-Su is from Love Island across the pond, and while she may no longer be coupled up with the man she won her season with, don't count her out to take home a prize solo this time.

From the other side of the TV landscape is Kevin Kreider, whom fans know stars on Bling Empire. While we may not have seen him compete per say, he's used to living life in the fast lane to be sure!

As well known for his pro dance moves on Dancing With the Stars as he is for his activism over the conflict in Ukraine, Maksim Chmerkovskiy has fast feet and the added motivation of hungry mouths to feed at home, with his wife Peta Murgatroyd having welcomed the couple's second child in June 2023.

What can we say? Parvati is a Survivor and will certainly bring many skills — as well as a yogic mind — to the table when it comes to taking down other competitors on the Peacock reality series.

Yes! We needed a representative of RuPaul's Drag Race on the show and thankfully, we have Peppermint, who will undoubtedly make Season 2 a must-see.

This Southern belle from The Real Housewives of Atlanta may be into high fashion, but she's also not going to take anyone's, well, you know. Here's hoping Shereé sticks around for a while on the show, because, those one liners!

Look out Scotland! Here comes Tamra Judge, who never keeps her opinions quiet. The Real Housewives of Orange County star can actually be a little scary — unless you stay on her good side!
