Reza Mehdi Farahan is a contestant from Shahs of Sunset. He was a Faithful on The Traitors (US)/Season 1.
A real estate agent best known as a protagonist in the now-concluded Bravo series Shahs of Sunset, Reza's loud personality and commandeering attitude immediately caught everyone's attention. His ability to make waves, alongside his independent nature and the alliance he quickly formed with other Bravo celebrities, notably Brandi Glanville and Kate Chastain, made him an immediate target for the Traitors - and he soon became their first victim.

Gameplay[]
One of the first things Reza did upon entering Ardross Castle was criticise its lack of proper antique fittings, quickly establishing himself as someone who was fussy and spoke his mind. He naturally gravitated towards celebrities from other Bravo series with similar personalities, Brandi Glanville and Kate Chastain, and they instantly formed an alliance. Reza had a natural inclination to lead the charge for everything: during the very first Mission, he constantly barked instructions at his teammates, irritating a number of contestants as a result.
When the Traitors had their first Conclave later that day, Christian de la Torre and Cody Calafiore were especially enthusiastic about targeting the 'Bravo alliance' for their opinionated natures. In particular, Reza was singled out as a driving force not just within the alliance, but among the other contestants as well. The Traitors decided to prioritise eliminating Faithfuls who were harder to manipulate or read, and hence settled on Murdering Reza.
