Traitors Season 4 finalists Rob Rausch and Maura Higgins are rumored to be joining another major US reality show.
According to gossip account Deux Moi, the pair are allegedly being lined up to join Dancing with the Stars Season 35, replacing Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Taylor Frankie Paul, whose season of ABC’s The Bachelorette was recently cancelled amid a major legal controversy.

Writing on Instagram, Deux Moi claimed: “Taylor Frankie Paul was set to be announced on DWTS this month and even had an entire date on The Bachelorette that was going to set up the announcement.”
They continued: “Now that the season is no longer airing … expect a Rob and Maura dual announcement for DWTS.”
Maura Has DWTS Dreams
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Maura expressed interest in joining Dancing with the Stars.
“It’s something that’d be a challenge for me,” she said. “I’ve never danced. I’d done a bit of Irish dancing when I was younger.“It’d be a huge challenge, but I know I’d throw myself into it and all the looks and glitter.”
Rob & Maura’s Traitors Journey
This latest reality TV rumor comes just weeks after the conclusion of Peacock’s The Traitors US Season 4, during which Maura and Rob reached the final two.
Throughout the season, Maura believed her friend and fellow Love Island alum Rob was the most Faithful of the Faithfuls. However, he was anything but, and slithered his way to victory after revealing himself as the last remaining Traitor, claiming the $220,800 prize.
Thankfully for Maura, she didn’t walk away empty-handed. In a bid for forgiveness, Rob gifted her a Hermès Birkin Bag on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live. Maura graciously accepted the $30,000 apology, and the pair appear to be on good terms — just in time for DWTS Season 35.
