The Traitors is the Frontrunner
While The Amazing Race and Top Chef are popular, long-running franchises and nominees, The Traitors provides viewers with a fresh format that helps it stand apart in the category.
As it is jam-packed full of tension, suspicion, and drama, audiences and critics worldwide have heaped praise on the show, which recently enjoyed its third season.
Unlike overseas versions, The Traitors US brings together smart, ruthless reality TV show veterans who aren’t afraid to strategize and deceive to win.
In addition to receiving praise for its format and casting, The Traitors has received glowing reviews for its direction, cinematography, beautiful production, and charismatic hosting from Alan Cumming.
Due to the show’s popularity and acclaim, BEO betting odds are indicating The Traitors is likely to win Outstanding Reality Competition Program for its second consecutive year in 2025.
RuPaul’s Drag Race Could Surprise
The Traitors may have stolen the award away from RuPaul’s Drag Race in 2024, but it shouldn’t be disregarded in the category this year.
After all, it wouldn’t be the first time the show has bounced back from a loss, as Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls took home the award in 2022, stopping RuPaul’s Drag Race from earning its fifth consecutive win in the category.
However, RuPaul’s Drag Race dusted itself off and picked up the accolade again in 2023.
The show’s popularity hasn’t wavered since its premiere in 2009, with viewers tuning in to watch all its elaborate fashion, non-stop drama, and personal stories.
Also, it regularly refreshes its format and challenges to keep it fun and entertaining year after year. For this reason and more, it could enjoy success in the award category at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards.
Survivor May Win the Award
Survivor might be the veteran in the category, but that doesn’t mean it can’t keep up with fresher formats this year.
Millions of viewers regularly tune in to watch the survival show, which will soon reach its 50th season. Also, it recently incorporated social gameplay into its format, helping to make it feel fresh and boosting its popularity with viewers of various ages.
While it is a dark horse for Outstanding Reality Competition Program, its popular format and endless drama could help it win the award at the ceremony on Sunday, September 14, 2025.
