‘The Traitors: New Blood’: Experts Saw 1 Murder Victim Coming

Every contestant on The Traitors: New Blood is at risk of leaving the game early. They may be “murdered” or banished and lose out on their chance at the cash prize. According to betting experts, one contestant was likely to be on the chopping block next. This quickly became the case.

Experts thought 1 contestant on ‘The Traitors: New Blood’ would be out next

Betting experts at Action Network believed that Xavier Scruggs had 50% odds of being the next murdered contestant on The Traitors: New Blood. He was an Apprentice, meaning that he would either become a Traitor or leave the game. 

“Xavier is the heavy chalk to pack his bags before breakfast,” they said. “Internet sleuths already noticed funeral director Joe subtly clearing out the library to give Katie private search time. If the edit holds true, Katie finds that warrant. Xavier will be the collateral damage.”

This ultimately was the case. Scruggs became the second person to be “murdered” this season.

The experts also believe that Victor Vollbrechthausen’s behavior could lead to him being a candidate for banishment. They believe there are 25% odds of this happening.

“Looking past the cliffhanger to the next banishment, the crosshairs aim squarely at Victor. He painted a massive target on his back by diving for a shield on day one and followed it up with his disastrous ‘I’m a sweaty boy’ defense at the roundtable. Players simply do not survive this game acting that erratic.”

Kriste Lewis also could face banishment because she helped facilitate Madeline Kostopulos’ elimination.

“Kriste is the other major fade right now. She misheard Madeline Kostopulos, twisted her words into a fake confession, and successfully rallied the castle to banish a Faithful. The blowback at the next roundtable is going to be severe once everyone realizes Madeline was telling the truth.”

The Traitors: New Blood airs on NBC on Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET.
