Traitors: New Blood episode 8 brings hosts Rob Cesternino and Pooya together with special guest Abby Lee, one of the season’s most recently “murdered” faithfuls. The conversation spotlights Abby’s unique approach to surviving in the castle and the intricate social webs, suspicions, and strategies that shape every roundtable. Listeners get an inside look at Abby’s mindset before and after her untimely exit—and how obsessing over lemon juice and limestone dust led to some of the most memorable theories of the season.

The hosts and Abby break down key moments from her time in the game, from her plans going awry to hilarious banter about being out-maneuvered by “Quiet Wyatt.” Abby explains how her scientific background fueled wild strategies, including testing for traitor footprints and unraveling complex friendship dynamics. Stories of sleepless nights, alliance confusion, and the constant pressure to stay alive give fans a closer look at life inside the castle.

Highlights from the episode include:

• Abby’s plan to stay quiet early, then pivoting to aggressive roundtable accusations to avoid becoming a murder target

• Science-fueled “lemon test” theories and Sherlock-and-Watson-style brainstorming with Victor that amused and baffled the cast

• The confusion and strategy behind voting for Arisa and Sherry at early roundtables, driven by herd mentality and self-preservation

• Abby’s attempts to spot the traitors by sowing information and tracking reactions, inspired by Tyrion Lannister’s deception tactics

• Honest reflections on failed reads, misjudged alliances, and the unexpected challenges of being a faithful in the Traitors game

Abby’s story shows the messy, unpredictable side of playing as a faithful—where trusting your gut can backfire and even the most calculated plans turn on a dime. Will her scientific approach inspire future contestants, or are social connections the ultimate tool for surviving the traitors’ castle?
