Episode Details

Welcome to Traitors Tuesdays, your one and only source for everything happening inside the castle, and after two episodes of The Traitors: New Blood, we already have opinions.

Caroline and Phoebe break down what happens when you take away the celebrities and drop a bunch of actual civilians into a castle with $15,000 on the line for catching a Traitor. We’re talking game mechanics, round-table strategy, murder targets, the Dolls alliance, and why this season already feels like a very different beast from the celebrity versions.

Then there's Kriste, whose misheard comment somehow became the moment of the premiere. Was she lying? No. Was she spectacularly wrong? Absolutely. Caroline and Phoebe debate whether the backlash against her is deserved, why her mistake made phenomenal television, and how one misunderstood sentence can completely derail a game.

Meanwhile, Clyde is quietly playing a game that may be much more strategic than it looks, Tomica and Joe are already giving potential Traitor energy, Victor learns that grabbing a shield can come with consequences, and Logan's ability to quietly observe everyone has us wondering if he's about to become the castle's biggest problem.

Plus: the NBC/Peacock rollout confusion, the spelling-and-contractions debate nobody saw coming, a suspicious Channing Tatum burner account, and our first round of who we're rooting for, who we're watching, and who absolutely cannot be trusted.

The castle is open. The Traitors are lying. And Caroline and Phoebe have already started keeping score.

XOXO.
