Regular People, Ruthless Games
Americans Enter the Castle for the Newest Season of “The Traitors”
This Thursday, Sept. 17, the fan-favorite game show “The Traitors” returned with its season five premiere. As always, the host Allan Cumming brought new rules and players to the table. The first episode introduced an all-civillian cast of 22 everyday Americans, who began competing for up to $250,000; additionally, a new twist added $15,000 to the prize pot for every “Traitor” that the “Faithful” players managed to banish.
Joe Vanella and Tomica Adams were chosen as the first “Traitors,” while FSU student Katie Fites, the youngest ever player in “The Traitors,” and Xavier Scruggs competed as “Apprentices” to win their place next to them. In the second episode, the “Traitors” murdered (eliminated) their first “Faithful:” lawyer Kim Daily. Madeline Kostopulos is later banished at the first roundtable after receiving 13 votes over a misheard sentence. The episode ends with Fites and Scruggs facing a challenge that will determine which of them would become the third “Traitor” and which would be murdered.
