"Traitors" brought in a familiar face to football fans for its fourth season, as Donna Kelce will be gracing the hit Peacock reality show. Kelce is ready to take on Scotland and either knock off the traitors if she becomes a faithful or tricks the faithfuls into believing she's one of them if she's named a traitor by host Alan Cummings.

Rob Mariano (mostly known as Boston Rob), a former "Traitors" alum but most known for his work on "Survivor", recently spoke about the decision for "Traitors" to cast Kelce and what a brilliant move it is.

“It’s so brilliant," Boston Rob said during the interview with ET. "Who’s going to vote off Mama Kelce in the off chance they get to meet Taylor Swift?”

"Traitors" pits former reality TV contestants as well as varying levels of celebrities against each other as the faithfuls try to figure out who the traitors are.

If the faithfuls successfully banish all of the traitors, they split the prize pot. If even one traitor manages to make it to the end, they take all of the money.

The show has become a smash hit, and it'll be a lot of fun to see how Kelce fares during her first stint on reality television. The show can be incredibly cutthroat, but as Boston Rob said, if any of Kelce's fellow cast members want a chance to meet Taylor Swift, not banishing Kelce or accusing her of being a traitor might be their best bet toward doing so.

If anyone would know what it'd take to be successful on a reality show, it's Boston Rob, so we'll have to see if what he said ends up ringing true for Donna Kelce on her reality television debut.
