Andy Cohen is revealing whether he’d ever compete on The Traitors.
The Bravo star, 58, has hosted the reunions for the first four seasons of the U.S. version of The Traitors from 2023 to 2026. But would he ever pack his bags and fly overseas to Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands to be a contestant on Peacock’s popular reality competition show?
“No, I would get voted off immediately,” the longtime Watch What Happens Live host told PEOPLE in an exclusive interview during the opening night of the Broadway show Other Desert Cities at the Hudson Theatre in New York City on Oct. 18.

The Traitors has cast more than a dozen stars from The Real Housewives franchise — which Cohen executive produces — in its first four seasons, including Lisa Rinna, Candiace Dillard Bassett, Phaedra Parks, Dorinda Medley, Dolores Catania and Larsa Pippen.
Season 5 featured a non-celebrity cast, but the upcoming season 6 will star three Housewives: Cynthia Bailey, Gizelle Bryant and Bronwyn Newport.
Unlike Cohen, who doesn’t want to be on The Traitors, more Housewives have expressed interest in competing in the castle as a Faithful or a Traitor.

Among them is The Real Housewives of New York City star Jessel Taank, who recently revealed she would love to be on the show.
“I would love to do Traitors, 100% would love to do Traitors, and I would want to be a Traitor because what’s the fun in being a Faithful?” Taank, 46, told PEOPLE at the All That Glitters Diwali Ball in New York City on Oct. 17.
Asked which Housewives she would want to see on The Traitors, Taank selected one who already competed but was eliminated early in season 3.

“Chanel Ayan didn’t really get a fair shot, so I think she needs to come back with me, and we would obviously have the best fashion and just so many laughs. I love her. She’s so fun,” the RHONY star said of her fellow Housewife from The Real Housewives of Dubai.
The Traitors season 5 (New Blood) airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and streams the next day on Peacock, where past seasons are available.
