Narrative

Sadly, while we love to see Alan Cumming smash a portrait and call for his cloaked lackeys to come and carry off a player in the game, it also comes with the realization that two more contestants that we’ve grown to love — one of whom came as a major surprise to two of the Traitors — will no longer be with us.

Here’s a quick breakdown on the two players who exited The Traitors: New Blood in the new episode. asserted
who → ’ → episode
Who Was Murdered In The Traitors: New Blood Episode 6? asserted
Who → murder → Traitors
Since Episode 5 ended on a cliffhanger as the shortlisted players awaited learning their fate, we knew that it could only be one of a small crop of players, and unfortunately, that murdered player is Niyyah Hayes. uncertain
player → end → players
In fact, during the living wake, Joe — who was positioned in the coffin next to her — confessed his sins of being a Traitor and shared that it was the apple she caught earlier in the day that doomed her to her fate. asserted
that → live → fate
On a positive note, it seems as though Victor Vollbrechthausen is sure that “FruitGate” — the term he has coined for his theory that the murder in plain sight involved apples and that Joe and Tomica are responsible — could lead to a Traitor being taken out in the next few roundtables. uncertain
Traitor → seem → roundtables
We’ll just have to wait and see. asserted

Who Was Murdered In The Traitors: New Blood Episode 5? asserted
Who → murder → Traitors
The reason we say “next few roundtables” in the paragraph above is because Victor’s case did not present itself well enough this week to yield the banishment of a Traitor. asserted
case → say → Traitor
Rather, it was the silver-tongued NYC lawyer, Michael Foote, who was booted out of the castle by his fellow Faithfuls. asserted
who → boot → Faithfuls
At the roundtable, Traitors and Faithful alike dissected Michael’s gameplay, intellect, and capability of being a Traitor, which resulted in him being sent packing, much to the shock and sadness of his fellow players. asserted
him → dissect → players
