Kylie Kelce fumed that Donna Kelce had been set up to fail on season four of The Traitors, which culminated in a thrilling finale on February 26. The host of the Not Gonna Lie podcast, who wed Jason Kelce in 2018, aired her grievances during the February 24 episode of the Green Light with Chris Long podcast. "I'm chafed that she was a Secret Traitor," Kylie candidly shared. "For some inexplicable reason, her status as a Secret Traitor has rubbed me up the wrong way."
She believed Donna would have fared much better if she had been part of the traitorous trio in the turret alongside fellow conspirators Rob Rausch, Candiace Dillard Bassett, and Lisa Rinna. "I wanted her to have the best chance to team up with others to really get a little sneaky with things," Kylie elaborated. "If she were just a Traitor and not the Secret Traitor, I think she would have aced it."
Kylie further predicted that the cast would have suspected "nothing" because Donna is "just too sweet," which would have granted viewers "some good Donna time" instead of her being eliminated in episode three. "She needed teammates," Kylie emphasized. "That was f---ed up."
Despite her reservations, the Kelce family – including Donna's sons Jason and Travis Kelce – adored watching the 73-year-old fulfill her dream of participating in the deadly game in Scotland last summer. "They thought that I gave it my best shot," Donna told host Andy Cohen during the reunion episode. "But they're like, 'You were probably more treacherous than we thought you could be.'"
She also received support from Travis' fiancée Taylor Swift, noting, "She's a watcher. So is her family. Yeah, they love Traitors."
The Traitors season four finale and reunion are now streaming on Peacock.
