Dylan Efron has some thoughts on who would be good players in Alan Cumming's castle.
The Traitors winner tells PEOPLE he thinks a few of his former Dancing with the Stars castmates would make good contestants on the reality TV murder mystery show.
"I think Alix Earle would be super fun on it," Efron, 34, shares, noting that her outfits would be great.

“I think she could probably go both ways," he says of whether she would be a traitor or faithful in the series. "I think she's competitive, Alix Earle would be really fun."
While he thinks Earle could bring some clever gameplay, he notes that fan favorite Andy Richter would also "be hilarious" on the Peacock show.
“Andy would be amazing, actually. I hadn't thought of that before, but he would be really funny,” Efron shares.
When asked if Richter would be a better faithful or traitor, Efron shares, “he could crush it both ways, but outfits would be the hardest for him, I think. You'd have to really get a stylist. Get Andy on, that's hilarious."
Meanwhile, Efron doesn't have much faith that Robert Irwin would be a convincing player.

“Robert Irwin would be faithful, and I don't think he would do that well because everyone would know he's faithful. I cannot see him being a traitor,” Efron adds, emphasizing that the 22-year-old conservationist would have a hard time lying to people.

Efron is currently on the Dancing with the Stars Live tour, bringing the show to cities across the United States alongside various cast members from season 34 and professional dancers, including his former partner Daniella Karagach.
Efron and Karagach placed fourth in the ABC competition series, behind Irwin and Witney Carson, who came in first, Earle and her partner Valentin Chmerkovskiy, who came in second, and Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa, who placed third.

Efron was also on the third season of Traitors, proving to be faithful until the end and winning alongside Dolores Catania, Ivar Mountbatten and Gabby Windey. During his time on the show, Efron became close with Survivor legend “Boston” Rob Mariano, who he says is “exactly how he is on TV.”
"It's rare when you meet people that, even actors, you fall in love with a character that's an actor, that's not how they are in real life," he tells PEOPLE. "But what you see with Boston Rob is what you get, and he's even more personable and trustworthy than the character he'll play in those shows. He's really easy to get along with and he's one of those guys that always has your back.”
When he is not plotting in a castle or dancing, Efron prefers to spend his time outdoors, frequenting different national parks across the country.
He recently teamed up with T-Mobile to launch its new partnership with the National Park Foundation and the launch of “Do Not Disturb Season." T-Mobile launched a Magenta Base Camp at Grand Central Terminal, a National Parks experience, which is open to the public until 6 p.m. EST on Saturday, April 18.
