The Gist

Chris is talking all about The Traitors this week! The internet broke when rumors that the season three cast had been revealed at NBC Universal's Upfront presentation early this week. Were Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie returning to reality TV on the popular game show? Was Howie Mandel really ready to put his fear of germs aside for $250k? The answer... was no. The rumors turned out to be just that, but it did get Chris thinking about who he'd like to see make their way to the castle in the upcoming season. From Real Housewives to reality TV icons, he names 'em all in this special episode. Listen!
