In a dazzling display of glamour, pride, and reality TV fandom, The Traitors cast and superfans took over West Hollywood this past weekend for a two-day celebration filled with themed cocktails, drag performances, and LGBTQ+ pride.
Club Cumming Pops Up at The Abbey
On Saturday, The Abbey, a cornerstone of WeHo nightlife, was transformed into a pop-up version of Club Cumming, the New York hotspot owned by The Traitors host Alan Cumming. Although Cumming himself was not in attendance, the venue came alive with the energy of former contestants and celebrity guests.
Among the cast members present were:
-
Chrishell Stause
-
Bob the Drag Queen
-
Sam Asghari
-
Parvati Shallow
-
Bob Harper
Parvati competed in Season 2, while the others appeared in Season 3 of the Emmy-winning reality competition.
Celebrity guests included Anna Kendrick, Chrissie Fit, Chris Appleton, Taylor Owen, and Maria-Grace “M.G.” Cook, who joined the celebration in support of LGBTQ+ visibility.
Attendees enjoyed an indulgent brunch, photo ops, and themed cocktails with creative names such as:
-
Banishment Bloody

Murderous Mimosa

Event swag included The Traitors-branded flags, tank tops, and hats inspired by the show’s signature style.
Drag Show and Fan Talent Take Center Stage
RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Hershii LiqCour-Jeté hosted an electrifying drag show featuring lip syncs to memorable lines from The Traitors, including Bob’s dramatic “I swear to God that I am a faithful.” Later, Bob the Drag Queen took over to emcee a fan talent portion, inviting audience members to dance on the main stage.
Although the event had a drag presence, there was no formal partnership between RuPaul’s Drag Race and The Traitors, despite both being top contenders at the upcoming Emmys for Best Competition Program and Best Reality Host.
Pride Parade Appearance
On Sunday, the festivities continued as The Traitors cast and crew marched in the WeHo Pride Parade along Santa Monica Boulevard. The group included cloaked Traitors, innocent Faithfuls, bagpipers, and drummers—many wearing kilts that blended classic Scottish tartans with rainbow Pride colors. Their presence underscored the show’s commitment to inclusion and representation in the reality TV space.
Awards Momentum and Season 3 Recap
Fresh off its success at the Critics Choice Real TV Awards, The Traitors continues to dominate awards season chatter. The show took home:
-
Best Competition Series
-
Best Ensemble Cast in an Unscripted Series
-
Best Show Host (Alan Cumming)
Individual nominations included:
-
