Porsha Williams became ‘obsessed’ with ‘The Traitors’ after being offered a spot on the show
Speaking to Parade, Williams, who first joined “RHOA” in 2012, said she became “obsessed” with the competition series after being offered a spot on the cast.
“I went in, I watched every episode and when I tell you, I became obsessed,” she said. “My six-year-old daughter and I were watching it. We were talking on TV. I mean, it became our life for a few days. So by the time I was ready to leave, I was an expert on ‘traitors’.”

Porsha Williams was banned from the show after a misstep
Williams was banned from season 4 of “The Traitors” in episode 2 after her co-star, Ron Funches, falsely accused her of being a traitor because he thought she had made a “Freudian slip.”
Before that, Williams had already caused concern in the castle after a brief misunderstanding with her “Real Housewives of Potomac” counterpart, Candiace Dillard Bassett, sent the house into a frenzy.
Bassett walked back an earlier statement she made to Williams, saying her co-star Michael Rapaport was targeting every “Real Housewives” star.

According to Williams, she wasn’t prepared for Bassett to turn on her so soon. “Candiace, I didn’t think coming out of the gate that another housewife would lie about me or lie to my face,” she said. “Because in this game there is a sisterhood. That’s why we fight people who chase housewives.”

Epic twists and turns are peppered throughout ‘The Traitors’ season 4
Donna Kelce, mother of Super Bowl champions Travis and Jason Kelce, was also part of the all-star cast in Season 4. Donna’s role on the show was unlike any other that came before her, as she was hand-picked by host Alan Cumming to be the show’s first-ever secret traitor.
“This game is full of surprises,” Cumming said. “I am about to choose my very first traitor here and now. Players, 23 chests lie before you – one [for] each [of you]. Inside your coffers, 22 of you will see nothing and will remain Faithful for now. But a player will see the Traitor card, and a life of intrigue and sabotage will begin as he becomes my first traitor.

What did Porsha Williams think of Donna’s role in Castle?
However, by the end of episode 3, Donna had been spotted by the other players, who quickly banished her during the following roundtable ceremony. “It’s a dream come true,” Donna said through tears. “Those are tears of joy that I can do at this point in my life. It’s just the joy of being in the game.”
Donna had already been the topic of conversation the day before, when Williams called America’s Mom in Episode 2. “Donna was my number one betrayer. Donna was my number one betrayer. And even though Donna was so nice…I was still like, ‘I don’t trust you,'” Williams said.
“I said it from day one. I was telling everyone, ‘Hey, when we go to the roundtable. I think we should all aim for Donna.’ And that’s why a lot of people were talking about Donna, because me and other people kind of said it,” she added.

Who could Williams see on the next season of ‘The Traitors’?
Even though Williams missed the chance to make history by taking down a traitor in the season opener, the Bravo veteran still had the time of her life in Scotland. And before she leaves “The Traitors” Season 4 for good, Williams shared which of her “RHOA” co-stars she’d like to see play the traitor game next.
“I want to see Cynthia Bailey, because I don’t think people really see the whole dynamic of Cynthia and who she is,” she said. “I don’t think they see that. I think they think she just loves life, she’s so nice. But Cynthia is really a forward-thinking person.”
Williams said Bailey has many characteristics, including loyalty, that would make her a great player. “And she’s also very strategic,” Williams added. “And I saw that in this season of Housewives that we just filmed. I’ll tell you right now, Cynthia would be a real player on Traitors, and I really hope she continues next season.”
