Traitors: New Blood episode 8 brings hosts Rob Cesternino and Pooya together with special guest Abby Lee, one of the season’s most recently “murdered” faithfuls. The conversation spotlights Abby’s unique approach to surviving in the castle and the intricate social webs, suspicions, and strategies that shape every roundtable. Listeners get an inside look at Abby’s mindset before and after her untimely exit—and how obsessing over lemon juice and limestone dust led to some of the most memorable theories of the season.

The hosts and Abby break down key moments from her time in the game, from her plans going awry to hilarious banter about being out-maneuvered by “Quiet Wyatt.” Abby explains how her scientific background fueled wild strategies, including testing for traitor footprints and unraveling complex friendship dynamics.
