Description: The Traitors: New Blood Season 1 Episode 9 recap: the poisoned chalice claims a victim, and Victor goes all in on hunting Joe Vanella.BachelorClues and PaceCase break down Episode 9 of The Traitors: New Blood. The celebration dinner for voting out Tomica turns into a round of personal tragedy cards. Meanwhile, the Traitors Joe Vanella and Katie set up a murder in plain sight with a poisoned chalice. Victor tries to swap cups with Vanella and Katie, Kriste grabs her glass suspiciously fast, and Shane makes an interesting trade of his own. At breakfast, suspicion spreads to Kriste, Wyatt and Victor. Katie runs a chemistry play on Victor to steer him away from Vanella. In the haunted house mission, the players summon a spirit by phone, tear apart teddy bears, and Abbey dives headfirst into a toilet. Then Victor skips into the room to confront Vanella before the round table. The hosts name Victor MVP for his bold Traitor hunt, then explain how Faithfuls should really play and why your personal tragedy card matters if you want to get cast.
