On January 9, The Traitors returns to Peacock for its third season, and with it comes a new batch of faithfuls and traitors. And while we don't know who will be a faithful or a traitor yet, we do know who is on the cast as a whole. This includes Sam Asghari.
For anyone unfamiliar with Asghari, he is a model and actor. But he may best be known as Britney Spears' ex-husband. That being said, there have been reports that indicate that there will be no mention of his ex on the show, at least not from him.
Knowing who he is outside of the castle, we really wanted to consider just how far he might make it on Season 3 of The Traitors. And honestly, we don't have high hopes for him.
Will Sam Asghari make it far on Season 3 of The Traitors?
The problem as I see it for Asghari is that he is not a reality TV persona. While he has certainly been in the public eye for years, that doesn't mean that he has what it takes to handle a reality competition like The Traitors. And not only that, but he will have to contend with a number of large personalities.
While I don't necessarily think that he will be the first player eliminated from the castle, I also don't think that he will have what it takes to make it far in the game. Either he will get killed off by the traitors (unless he is one) or he will get voted out as a traitor by the faithful. No matter which way it goes, I just don't think he has a competitive edge in this setting.
Now, I could be wrong. And we could end up being surprised by how well Sam Asghari does on The Traitors, but the fact that he is not someone who has been part of reality TV in any way means that he may be at a disadvantage.
