Phaedra Parks suspects that Dorinda Medley will come out victorious in a verbal match with Donna Kelce should the women clash in the upcoming Season 4 of “The Traitors.”
“Yeah, I got my bets on Dorinda,” the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star tells Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” in an exclusive interview.
Parks, 51, clarifies, however, that she is thrilled to see the mother of Kansas City Chiefs tight end (and Taylor Swift’s boyfriend) Travis Kelce compete on the unscripted Peacock series. The show sees an amalgamation of celebrities navigate cutthroat challenges — both mental and physical — on the grounds of a castle in Scotland.
Phaedra Parks tells Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” that she is rooting for fellow “Real Housewives” star Dorinda Medley on the next season of “The Traitors.”
Medley, formerly of “The Real Housewives of New York City,” is returning to the Peacock series for Season 4 after an early elimination in Season 3.
“I think that’s very, very interesting. Because I only know her as a cheerleader for her son,” explains the attorney-turned-reality TV personality, who made it far as a contestant and became a fan favorite in Season 2.
“So to see her in the castle doing all those physical [activities] with the climbing, the lifting, the jumping, the swimming,” Parks says of 72-year-old Donna, “I want to see that.”
Still, the Bravolebrity — who appeared on her season with “Housewives” Larsa Pippen, Tamra Judge and Shereé Whitfield — wants members of what she affectionately calls a “sorority” to win. In Season 4, Medley, 60, will be joined by Candiace Dillard Bassett, Lisa Rina, Caroline Stanbury and Porsha Williams.
Donna Kelce, the mother of NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce, is also competing on the unscripted show.
“Real Housewives of Atlanta” personality Parks, a good pal of Medley’s, says she expects the Bravolebrity to win a verbal match with Donna should the women clash.
“I’m hoping because of Dorinda’s early departure last season, I hope that she gets the chance, because I think Dorinda would be wonderful playing the game,” Parks says, acknowledging the “Real Housewives of New York City” alum getting the boot first in Season 3.
“And I know she is ready to play the game,” she continues, manifesting a strong comeback for the Manhattanite. “But you know ‘Housewives,’ sometimes people underestimate us and I think we are definitely very smart. I hope all of them do well. I hope they can stick together.”
Other famous faces in the mix for “The Traitors” Season 4 include “Laguna Beach” alum and “One Tree Hill” actor Stephen Colletti, “Love Island” icon Maura Higgins, Olympic figure skater Tara Lipinski, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” queen Monét X Change and Bachelor Nation hunk Colton Underwood, among others.
“I got my bets on Dorinda,” Parks tells “Virtual Reali-Tea” with confidence.
Until the next installment premieres — Peacock has yet to announce a date — reality TV fans can look forward to part two of the “RHOA” Season 16 reunion, airing this Sunday.
Parks tells “Virtual Reali-Tea” to anticipate major developments for ex-besties Porsha Williams and Shamea Morton, who have navigated several bumps in their relationship both on and off camera.
Parks chatted with “Virtual Reali-Tea” ahead of Sunday night’s “RHOA” Season 16 reunion part two airing.
Following a seasons-long hiatus, she shocked and delighted fans by joining the current installment towards the end of filming.
“I’m always optimistic and I never say never. So we’ll have to see what happens,” she says of a potential reconciliation. “I think it’s a lot going on there. The reunion is going to reveal some very, very … shocking revelations.”
Parks elaborates, “And so I think they have some things to work through, but never say never because if someone’s truly your friend, you can survive anything.”
Part two of the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” Season 16 reunion airs Sunday at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo and will be available to stream the next day on Peacock.
