Emmys 2025: 'The Traitors' bags award for Best Reality Competition program

The Traitors wins its second consecutive Emmy for Outstanding Reality Competition Program, beating RuPaul's Drag Race, Survivor, Top Chef, and The Amazing Race.

"It's a difficult time we live in, but it's so great that our show brings a little bit of joy into this life - Alan Cumming"

Los Angeles, September 15

If you are a fan of 'The Traitors', then there's a great news for you.

'The Traitors' on Sunday night bagged its second consecutive Emmy for Outstanding Reality Competition Program, as per Deadline.

Also nominated in the category were MTV's RuPaul's Drag Race, CBS' The Amazing Race and Survivor and Bravo's Top Chef.

Handed the award by Netflix star Leanne Morgan, host Alan Cumming said, "Thanks to everyone who watches the show, thanks to all the people who have Traitors parties and dress up as me. We see you, we love you."

He also thanked the "crazy cast" as well as its crew in Scotland, "who had to understand the concept that the Scottish summer is sometimes oxymoronic", and NBCUniversal execs Francis Berwick and Sharon Vuong.

"It's a difficult time we live in, but it's so great that our show brings a little bit of joy into this life," Cumming added.

It takes The Traitors to five wins for the year after picking up four awards at last weekend's Creative Arts Emmys. In fact, the show has won all five Emmys it was nominated for this year.

I'm happy for them but honestly, Survivor has been consistently great for years. Sometimes feel like newer shows get more attention than they deserve.

Love how they shot it in Scotland! The locations are so atmospheric and different from typical reality shows. Makes me want to visit the Highlands! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
