The Traitors: New Blood Season 1 Episode 6 recap: Victor cracks Fruit Gate and points straight at Joe and Tomica, but the castle banishes a faithful instead.
BachelorClues and PaceCase break down Episode 6 of The Traitors: New Blood, starting at the wake, where Joe confesses to Niyyah in her coffin right before she's revealed as the murdered faithful. From there, Joe doubles down on being "the apple guy" while Victor pieces together the apples, the fruit offers, and the murder in plain sight. Victor eavesdrops on suspected traitors, Abby L tips Joe off about the Fruit Gate theory, and Katie floats Michael's name to a crowd. At the round table, Tomica earns PaceCase's Error of the Game for calling out Joe for eating an apple, tying the two traitors together in front of everyone. Faithful lawyer Michael Foote is banished despite a strong defense, and the traitors end the episode targeting Victor. The hosts also dig into why the all-civilian cast can't match the gameplay, villains, and entertainment of celebrity Traitors.
