US EditionDeadly Viewing: Why The Traitors Became a Global Hit
Colton Underwood and Mark Ballas, friends from The Traitors season 4, may form Dancing With the Stars' third same-sex dance pair, following previous inclusions on the show.
- Colton Underwood, the 33-year-old former lead of The Bachelor who publicly came out as gay in 2021, competes in season 4 of The Traitors alongside several Real Housewives cast members and professional dancer Mark Ballas, known for his appearances on Dancing With the Stars.
- Underwood joined The Traitors after cohosting Hulu's dating show Are You My First?, which aims to help virgins connect and gain a deeper understanding of self-love rather than simply focusing on losing virginity.

- Underwood described The Traitors season 4 as one of the most thrilling projects he’s ever worked on and shared with his husband that he felt too seasoned to be drawn into conflicts like those seen on Housewives shows, to which his husband encouraged him by saying, "It's fine, you've got this."
- Underwood’s participation in The Traitors and bond with Ballas indicate potential future collaboration on Dancing With the Stars, suggesting continued evolution in his reality TV career.
