Game of Roses

The Traitors: New Blood Season 1 Episode 6 recap: Victor cracks Fruit Gate and points straight at Joe and Tomica, but the castle banishes a faithful instead.BachelorClues and PaceCase break down Episode 6 of The Traitors: New Blood, starting at the wake, where Joe confesses to Niyyah in her coffin right before she's revealed as the murdered faithful. From there, Joe doubles down on being "the apple guy" while Victor pieces together the apples, the fruit offers, and the murder in plain sight. Victor eavesdrops on suspected traitors, Abby L tips Joe off about the Fruit Gate theory, and Katie floats Michael's name to a crowd. At the round table, Tomica earns PaceCase's Error of the Game for calling out Joe for eating an apple, tying the two traitors together in front of everyone. Faithful lawyer Michael Foote is banished despite a strong defense, and the traitors end the episode targeting Victor. The hosts also dig into why the all-civilian cast can't match the gameplay, villains, and entertainment of celebrity Traitors.CHAPTERS(00:00) Cold Open: Alan Cumming Impression(00:57) Celebrity vs. Civilian Traitors(05:51) The Wake: Joe Confesses to Niyyah(08:58) The Morning After Niyyah's Murder(09:40) Victor Cracks Fruit Gate(12:41) Victor Accuses Tomica and Joe(13:48) Severed Heads Scream Challenge(15:53) Victor's Peeping Tom Play(18:19) Abby L Tips Off Joe(20:34) Round Table: Victor vs. Tomica(22:23) Error of the Game: Tomica Calls Out Joe's Apple(25:37) Michael's Defense Speech(27:09) The Vote: Michael Banished(29:45) Why Celebrity Traitors Casting Wins(33:40) Faithfuls Cry, Katie Feels Guilty(34:59) Abby L's Traitor Strategy Question(37:06) The Boy Who Cried Fruit(37:39) The Turret: Traitors Target Victor(38:44) Victor's Self-Elimination Play(40:08) Bonus: Secret Lives BitsEPISODE FAQWho was Game of Roses' Error of the Game in The Traitors: New Blood Season 1 Episode 6?PaceCase gave it to Tomica, who called out Joe for eating an apple at the round table and tied herself to her fellow traitor.Who was banished in The Traitors: New Blood Season 1 Episode 6?Michael Foote, a faithful, was banished after the round table, despite his defense speech.What is Fruit Gate on The Traitors: New Blood?Fruit Gate is Victor's theory that Joe and Tomica used apples and fruit offers to carry out a murder in plain sight, and on Episode 6 he's right but can't convince the castle.ABOUT GAME OF ROSESGame of Roses is the reality TV podcast that breaks down The Bachelor franchise, Love Island USA, The Traitors, and more as a game.

Digging Deeper: Harry Jowsey tells Bachelor Happy Hour that Taylor Frankie Paul's Bachelorette season is never coming out, and Bergie reveals how The Traitors films its confessionals.BachelorClues and PaceCase dig through clips from across the reality TV podcast world. On So Bad It's Good with Ryan Bailey, Bergie explains that confessionals on The Traitors and Love Island are filmed in a room with just a camera and a speaker, with a producer asking questions from another location. He also confirms players knew about the breakfast order by season two and kept notes on who got pulled for interviews. That leads to a detour on Beast Games as a sign of the end times. On Bachelor Happy Hour, Harry Jowsey tells Charity Lawson and Rachel Recchia he called The Bachelor "played out" in his own press and believes Taylor Frankie Paul's Bachelorette is done for good. The hosts retrace every false start since the planned March 22 premiere and explain why they think the franchise has moved on.

Love Is Blind Season 11 cast breakdown, Part 2: Game of Roses scouts the final 15 Boston rookies, from breakout star Michaela Giorgio to the players who look cast as the season's villains.BachelorClues and PaceCase finish their Love Is Blind Season 11 rookie breakdown, going through the Instagrams and Netflix bios of the last 15 players before the premiere. Michaela Giorgio, a John Mayer superfan with a wild feed, gets the star prediction. Mallon Thorpe and orthodontist Sahar look like honeymoon-phase contenders, and beekeeper Matt Waldrop arrives with a bolo tie and a hive full of bees. Morrey Eglin, who pinned a video of himself pitching his business to Dave Portnoy, and Scott Shuman, a retired pro pitcher looking for a conservative, non-confrontational wife, are the villain picks, which leads to a bigger conversation about why Love Is Blind keeps casting players like this.

But these episodes belong to Jay, whose self-proclaimed body-language expertise, skeleton-cage chaos, and increasingly unhinged strategy produce some of the strangest gameplay we’ve ever seen on The Traitors.
