Traitors: New Blood Ep 7: Tomica Throws Katie Under the Bus | Recap & Review

The Traitors: New Blood Season 1 Episode 7 recap: Victor corners Tomica at the round table, she throws fellow traitor Katie under the bus, and a surprise pardon power leaves Victor's fate on a cliffhanger.

BachelorClues and PaceCase call it their favorite episode of the season so far, even as they watch a castle full of players make massive errors. Victor refuses to let Fruitgate go, accusing Tomica to her face at breakfast and tipping his hand with his "gut the castle" line before Mark is found murdered. The black-heart scarecrow mission knocks Victor, Katie, Morgan, and Wyatt out of the running for the mystery power. Then, in a one-on-one, Tomica tells Victor that Katie is a traitor, earning PaceCase's Error of the Game. At the round table, Victor uses that slip against her for PaceCase's Play of the Game, while BachelorClues gives his to Joe Vanella's roughage defense for eating apples. The vote splits six ways, Katie votes for her own fellow traitor, and Victor lands in the circle of truth just as Alan Cumming reveals the pardon. Plus: is the pardon rigged, why faithfuls shouldn't banish traitors, and split MVPs for Victor and Jay.
