Dylan Efron Shares Which of His “DWTS ”Castmates Would Shine on “Traitors — ”and Who He Thinks Would Struggle (Exclusive)

**Dylan Efron on Who Would Thrive in ‘The Traitors’**

Dylan Efron, known for his recent stint on the popular ABC series **Dancing with the Stars**, has shared his views on which of his co-contestants he believes could excel as players on the reality competition **The Traitors**. The 34-year-old star, who also emerged victorious during his time on **The Traitors**, expressed his thoughts in an interview with PEOPLE, highlighting a few personalities from the dancing show who might make interesting contestants in the dramatic game of deception.

Efron is particularly enthusiastic about Alix Earle, suggesting that her vibrant personality and competitive nature would serve her well. He maintains that her stylish outfits would add flair to the experience. “I think she’d be super fun on it,” Efron stated, indicating he sees potential in Earle to adapt easily, whether as a faithful player or a traitor. “She’s competitive,” he added, implying that her game strategy could make her a formidable contender.

The former contestant also mentioned **Andy Richter** as a strong candidate for success on The Traitors. Efron expressed admiration for Richter’s sense of humour, stating, “Andy would be amazing, actually. I hadn’t thought of that before, but he would be really funny.” When pressed about Richter’s suitability as either a traitor or a faithful competitor, Efron gingerly acknowledged that “he could crush it both ways”, although he jested that Richter might require a stylist to perfect his wardrobe for the show.

Conversely, Efron does not foresee successful gameplay from **Robert Irwin**, the conservationist and son of the late Steve Irwin. Concerned for Irwin’s honesty, Efron remarked, “I don’t think he would do that well because everyone would know he’s faithful.” Acknowledging Irwin’s genuine character, Efron fears that the young wildlife advocate would struggle to mislead fellow contestants, making his gameplay predictable.

Currently, Efron is touring with the **Dancing with the Stars Live** show, visiting cities across the United States alongside his fellow cast members and professional dancers, including his former partner **Daniella Karagach**. Efron and Karagach performed admirably in the competition, finishing in fourth place, just shy of the podium, with Irwin taking first, Earle second, and Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa rounding out third.

Efron’s grounding in the reality show circuit extends beyond competitive dancing. During his time on the third season of **The Traitors**, he established a strong bond with reality television stalwart **”Boston” Rob Mariano**. Describing Mariano as genuine, Efron remarked, “It’s rare when you meet people that, even actors, you fall in love with a character that’s not how they are in real life. But what you see with Boston Rob is what you get.” He praised Mariano for being personable and trustworthy, stating, “He’s really easy to get along with and always has your back.”

Beyond the realm of competition and reality television, Efron enjoys spending his time outdoors and is an advocate for natural exploration. He has recently collaborated with **T-Mobile**, aiding in the launch of their new partnership with the **National Park Foundation**. This initiative includes a special programme called “Do Not Disturb Season,” with T-Mobile setting up a Magenta Base Camp at Grand Central Terminal. The camp is open to the public, promoting the importance of outdoor experiences and preservation.

Efron’s dual interests in competition and nature reveal the multifaceted personality he brings to the table in entertainment. With his insights on potential contenders for **The Traitors**, Efron continues to captivate audiences, showcasing both his wit and experience in reality TV. As he embarks on his professional journey, fans eagerly await to see how his journey unfolds, both on tour and under the spotlight of reality television.
