Noted sunscreen truther Kristin Cavallari has a new reality TV series coming out on E! next month. Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour drops June 4. It documents her experience during her first live podcast tour, which did six shows in four cities over the course of seven days. During the tour, she spoke out about different headlines that she’d made over the years, hence “The Headline Tour.” It also marks the first time that Kristin’s children, Camden, 12, Jaxon, 11, and Saylor, nine, will be featured on screen.
Kristin’s been out there hustling to promote the series. Earlier this week, she popped up on The Tonight Show. Jimmy asked her what she planned on doing next, and whether she could see herself doing a different type of reality show, like Survivor or The Traitors. As it turns out, Jimmy isn’t the first person that can imagine Kristin’s career taking the reality TV competition trajectory. Apparently, people go up to her all the time, suggesting that she go on The Traitors, and she is not picking up what they are putting down.
“I’ve had a million people say that I should be on The Traitors,” she revealed. “I haven’t seen it!”
When Fallon let out an audible gasp, Cavallari said, “I know, I know, I’m going to watch it. But why is everyone telling me that I’d be good on it?”
“Because I’m conniving?” she joked. “I’m kind of offended, I think.”
The late-night host insisted that wasn’t the reason, but rather that people simply enjoy seeing Cavallari on their TV screens.
“I don’t know,” she quipped, although she noted that she has “heard great things.”
“You’d love The Traitors,” Fallon asserted. “You could do it.”
Still hesitant to say whether she’d take on another reality show, Cavallari reflected on how much things have changed since she starred in Laguna Beach from 2004 until 2006.
“You know, when I did Laguna Beach, we didn’t have a map for what to do, because it was one of the first [reality] shows,” she explained. “Now, it’s like there’s a million shows, there’s a million reality stars.”
“I feel like people have an agenda when they go on a show,” she continued, sharing her best piece of advice: “I’m always like, ‘Just be you, because the audience can see through it. Be authentic.’”
I am with Jimmy here. I would totally love to be a contestant on The Traitors! It really does seem like it would be right up Kristin’s alley, too. It’s not nearly as intense as Survivor, as stressful as The Amazing Race, or as lengthy Big Brother. All things considered, it’s a pretty sweet reality competition gig. You get put up in a fancy castle with free food and drink while hanging out with Alan Cumming for a week. You also get to be as strategic or campy as you want to be and can network with other reality TV stars. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. Kristin, girl, go on The Traitors, you’ll have a blast.
One other thing in the interview that I actually really liked: While explaining why she wanted to set the record straight on different headlines about herself, she said that she eventually had to come to terms with the fact that a lot of them were in fact generated by “what was coming out of my mouth. I am doing it to myself!” I appreciate her self-awareness. Growth is good!
She would be good on Traitors. But those kids off camera.
Clearly something changed in their custody agreement or arrangement because those kids were never online until recently. I actually respected her and Jay for keeping them private. Bummer that they’re turning into mini-influencers.
(Also, WOW is she proud of her new augmentation. An ad for earrings? Nope, cleve!)
I 💜 that show.
Laguna Beach definitely wasn’t one of the first reality TV shows. Real World, Road Rules Bachelor, Survivor….all started before. Also, it’s funny for her to say be you, be authentic etc when Laguna Hills and all of it’s spinoffs were full of notoriously scripted storylines and clever editing.
It’s also a bit rich that she’s saying there are millions of reality shows these days when she’s literally promoting her new reality show.
