The latest episode of "The Traitors: New Blood" saw another contestant leaving the game, continuing the trend from previous episodes where contestants are eliminated through both banishment and murder challenges. In Episode 5 titled “Wake of the Living Dead,” Sherry Kuehl, a writer from Kansas, was voted out during the banishment phase after being suspected by her fellow players. The episode ended with suspense regarding a contestant being murdered but did not reveal who it was, leaving viewers to wait until the next episode on October 15 for that information.

Story summary
Spoilers ahead for Season 1, Episode 5 of The Traitors: New Blood. In just three weeks since its debut, NBC's spinoff show The Traitors: New Blood, has seen a rapid turnover of contestants as the three Traitors—Joe Vanella, Tomica Adams, and Katie Fites—eliminate numerous Faithful players. Among those eliminated are MLB analyst Xavier Scruggs, dog groomer Arisa Thomas, and Southern realtor Logan Smith. Despite initial concerns over Katie's safety at the end of Episode 4, the show's unpredictable nature allows for sudden shifts in alliances, ensuring constant suspense. The episode cuts off abruptly during a funeral procession without revealing who is eliminated next.

**Spoilers ahead for Season 1, Episode 5 of The Traitors: New Blood**
Just three weeks into the NBC spinoff of the Peacock phenomenon and the river of red has been flowing as the show’s three Traitors — Joe Vanella, Tomica Adams, and Katie Fites — have taken out Faithful after Faithful, including MLB analyst Xavier Scruggs, dog groomer Arisa Thomas, and the sweet Southern realtor Logan Smith, who knew just a little too much.
Headed into the roundtable at the end of Episode 4 (“The Death Parade”), it seemed like Katie might be in danger of going home, but as any true Traitors fan knows, anything can change in the blink of an eye, especially at a roundtable.
