Episode 7 of The Traitors left off with a massive cliffhanger. Victor went to battle with Tomica at the roundtable, but Tomica won out, as Victor received the most votes to be banished. However, in a massive twist, Alan announced that he was not necessarily going home. One player from that day’s challenge will have the power to determine Victor’s fate. That player will either confirm his banishment or allow him to stay in the game. That could dramatically flip the game if Victor ends up staying. Find out what happens below!
Follow along for live updates and a full recap of The Traitors (US) Episode 8!

What Happened on The Traitors: New Blood Episode 8?
The previous episode left off with a cliffhanger. Victor received the most votes at the roundtable, but just before his banishment, it was revealed that one player would have the power to save Victor if they wanted to. That power was earned in the challenge earlier in that episode, but we don’t know yet know who earned it. The “Power of the Pardon” was won by Shane. Despite voting for Victor earlier in the roundtable, Shane decided to spare Victor.
There was madness in the turret after that. Victor still has heat on both Joe and Tomica. They could just murder him to get him out of the picture, but then that could also put a massive target on their backs. There was also some disagreement after Katie voted for Tomica at the roundtable. However, for now, the traitors need to work together to defeat some common enemies before they can turn on each other.
After debating between Victor, Abby L. and Clyde, the traitors decided to murder Abby L. Following breakfast, Alan revealed that there would not be a challenge. Instead, the players would be heading straight to the roundtable to vote somebody out. It seems inevitable the battle will once again be between Tomica and Victor. For the rest of the players, this saga must end now. Either vote out Victor or Tomica, and the truth will be revealed.
Ultimately, Victor convinced enough people to change their minds and vote for Tomica. She was banished from the game, making her the first traitor to be banished this season. With the momentum on Victor’s side, all of the pressure will be on Joe to defend himself next week.
