We Know The Traitors

Traitors: New Blood Ep 10 Exit Interviews

Watch the Banished Player’s interview here and the Murdered Player’s interview here.

Traitors: New Blood episode 10 is here, and so are the latest exit interviews from Rob and Pooya as they meet with Joe Vanella and Ben McDonnell. This deep-dive goes behind the castle walls right after Joe’s dramatic banishment and Ben’s untimely murder, exploring the decisions, alliances, and strategies that shaped these players’ fates as the game heads to its finale.

Pooya and Rob walk through Joe’s journey as a traitor from day one, from his approach to the infamous “murder in plain sight” with the apple (and his regret over eating so many) to the alliances he valued, and the choices that led to his exit. Joe shares his logic for targeting (or not targeting) specific players like Victor, reflects on his bond with Katie and Tomica, and reveals the challenges of being an empath in a cutthroat game. Ben jumps in next to talk about recognizing Katie as a traitor, the challenge of shifting blame away from himself, and the never-ending herd mentality that dominated this season’s roundtables. Both exit interviews shed light on the little moments and big swings that define Traitors gameplay this season.

Joe details his murder strategy, why he wouldn’t change his approach, and how isolation played a key role

The decision not to eliminate Victor—Joe explains the social dynamics and why Morgan was a greater threat

Joe’s loyalty to his fellow traitors, and their reasoning behind picking Katie and Shane for the turret

Ben unpacks why Katie flew under the radar, why the Dolls alliance faltered, and his attempts to generate suspicion to protect himself

Insight into Ben’s endgame plans as a faithful, his alliances, and why he felt he’d make a better traitor than faithful

With the finale on the horizon, will the faithful find a path to victory, or do the traitors have the upper hand? Find out what drives these pivotal moves and get ready for the last showdown by listening to the full episode for all the drama, strategy, and personal reflections from those closest to the action.
