Three Players Eliminated in Latest Episodes of 'The Traitors: New Blood'

Two back-to-back episodes of NBC's "The Traitors: New Blood" have resulted in the departure of three more players. The latest installments saw one player murdered by the season's Traitors and another banished by their fellow contestants.

Episode 3 Developments

Episode 3 began with the Traitors, Joe Vanella and Tomica Adams, assessing whether Xavier Scruggs and Katie Fites had successfully retrieved death warrants. Both players managed to obtain the warrants, leaving the decision of who would be recruited as a Traitor and who would be eliminated to Joe and Tomica. Ultimately, they chose to recruit Katie, viewing her as less likely to draw suspicion, and consequently murdered Xavier.

Episode 4 Outcomes

The banishment ceremony that concluded Episode 3 carried over into the start of Episode 4. At the Roundtable, Arisa Thomas was banished. Her elimination followed accusations of a "shady" ritual involving a handshake with fellow contestant Victor Vollbrechthausen.

Later in Episode 4, the Traitors decided to murder Logan Smith. This decision was influenced by Xavier's prior suspicions about Katie, a detail he reportedly shared before his own elimination. Logan's murder could potentially backfire on Katie, as her name has become a focal point heading into the next Roundtable vote.

"The Traitors: New Blood" airs on Thursdays on NBC, with episodes available for streaming the following day on Peacock.
