Gretel to host The Traitors

I hope JLP has another gig lined up since he was rumoured to be in the running too but I'd have to admit thaty Gretel is pretty perfect casting for this show. Shame it's rumoured to be yet another celebrity edition of an overseas franchise though. I think the normie seasons of Traitors (and the amazing race) are much better.

The Traitors
From surviving on an island to surviving the night, the global smash-hit social deduction series The Traitors returns next year with the OG reality tv host Gretel Killeen in command. This season promises to be real devious, as faces from across Aussie reality TV will be going head-to-head in brutal banishments, hoping to sniff out the Traitors hiding amongst them. Stars from Real Housewives, Australian Idol, Australian Survivor, Love Island, MasterChef, Married at First Sight, Aussie Shore, Big Brother and more will be fighting for their lives, and fighting one another as they attempt to play the game that has captivated the world. Starring Australian Idol stars Ian “Dicko” Dickson and Cosima De Vito, Real Housewives’ Gamble Breaux (Melbourne) and Krissy Marsh (Sydney), comedian Rhys Nicholson, Drag Race icon Kween Kong, and Olympian and Sole Survivor Shane Gould alongside fellow Australian Survivor alums Kirby Bentley, Henry Nicholson and AJ Antonios. They will be joined by Bachelor icons Keira Maguire and Alex Nation, MAFS’ Cam Merchant, MasterChef Australia star Alvin Quah, Aussie Shore’s Manaaki Hoepo, Love Island stars Rachael Evren and Claudia Bonifazio, The Block twins Josh and Luke Packham, Big Brother icon Tully Smyth, Made In Bondi’s Lawson Mahoney, and musician Rob Farnham, the son of Aussie music legend, John Farnham. Gretel Killeen said: “Hosting The Traitors is a joyful milestone in my career. In the magical South Island of New Zealand, we’ve created a series that not only embraces the much-loved Traitors format but also adds a pinch of soap opera and a drizzle of pantomime to create a unique and delicious series.”
TS: “It’s a perfect time for us to do our own version again, and we’ve done something really different, and gone over to the hub and shot it with our New Zealand partners, South Pacific Pictures, who did a fantastic job. There’s this incredible old manor that sort of feels haunted in the middle of nowhere. You have to drive two and a half hours into the countryside to find it. Gretel just got so into it all. I don’t think she’s ever enjoyed herself more on television than she does in this show, and she’s really excited for everyone to see it.

@marquisite would this thread be better placed in a non BBAU section?
 
This quote from Ten’s announcement of The Traitors has me lol-ing. I’m happy she’s happy though.
