Jason and Travis’ podcast account teased Donna’s casting on X, one day before it was officially announced.
On Thursday, June 12, the X account for the brothers’ podcast, New Heights, shared a clip from a September 2024 episode where Travis, 35, and Jason, 37, talked about the Peacock series, as they debated about whether each of them would be any good.
In the caption of the post on X, the brothers’ podcast wrote that they were sharing the clip of them talking about Traitors “for no reason whatsoever,” with a smirk emoji, seemingly teasing the forthcoming news of their mom’s casting announcement.
The brothers previously talked about The Traitors on their podcast.
In the September episode, Travis told his brother, “Dude, you would f—— crush it on Traitors.”

But Jason was quick to shut that idea down.
“Traitors? I’m terrible,” Jason said, as he recalled his one experience attempting to recreate the game with friends despite being an “awful liar.”
“I’m not savvy enough. We did it one time, climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. I was voted… right away, they knew. They’re like, ‘Jason’s a traitor’ and I was like, ‘No I’m not!'”

Travis said he “f—— love[s]” watching the show and seeing “how someone reacts under pressure,” while Jason said he’s often “taking notes” when he watches.
“There’s some people that say some stuff where you’re like, ‘Wow, that’s a good one.'”
Donna will join 22 other contestants this season.
The lineup includes previous reality show gamers, including Natalie Anderson (The Amazing Race), Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho (Survivor), Rob Cesternino (Survivor), Tiffany Mitchell (Big Brother) and Ian Terry (Big Brother).
There are also a mix of Housewives from different franchises including, Candiace Dillard Bassett (Real Housewives of Potomac), Dorinda Medley (Real Housewives of New York City), Lisa Rinna (Real Housewives of Beverly Hills), Porsha Williams (Real Housewives of Atlanta) and Caroline Stanbury (Real Housewives of Dubai).
Others with competition show backgrounds include Mark Ballas (Dancing with the Stars), Monét X Change (RuPaul’s Drag Race) and Kristen Kish (Top Chef).
Rounding out the cast are Colton Underwood (The Bachelor), Ron Funches (comedian), Stephen Colletti (Laguna Beach, One Tree Hill), Maura Higgins (Love Island), Tara Lipinski (Olympic figure skater), Eric Nam (singer), Michael Rapaport (actor), Rob Rausch (Love Island USA) and Johnny Weir (Olympic figure skater).
Donna’s casting comes three months after Dylan Efron, Dolores Catania, Gabby Windey and Ivar Mountbatten won season 3.
The last season of The Traitors concluded in March, with faithfuls Dolores Catania, Dylan Efron, Ivar Mountbatten and Gabby Windey all being named winners.
Rather than try to banish anyone else, they opted to split the prize money evenly and each took home a share of $204,300.
The decision came after some “quick math,” Efron told PEOPLE. “If we would’ve got rid of Dolores, let’s say, and finished with the three of us, that’s $17,000 extra each — after taxes, $10,000. So I’d rather be friends with everybody.”
