NBC’s ‘The Traitors: New Blood’ is as much about making alliances as it is about making the best of a vulnerable situation. While contestants must build strong friendships to save themselves from elimination, they must also be ready to stab someone in the back to protect themselves. In season 1, Katie Fites had a charming energy about her and was ready to make such decisions when needed. Even though she was the youngest in the group, she did not want to be taken lightly. Instead, she took charge, made her presence known and proved herself to be an indispensable part of the competition.
Katie Fites Was Thrown in the Competition to be the Next Traitor
Katie Fites knew that she was the youngest person in the group and did not want to be categorized in any way because of that. She said she had the dynamism and smartness to survive the longest in the game, partly because of her pleasant demeanor. When asked whether she would prefer to be a “Traitor” or a “Faithful,” she said she would rather be the former, as it would put her in a more advantageous position. She got her chance when, after two Traitors had been selected, it was announced that another one would be chosen. Katie was secretly called along with Xavier Scruggs and told that they were both contenders for the third “Traitor” position. Neither was told the identities of the other two, but by the end of the day, they knew one would be selected and the other eliminated. Katie quietly tried to get her tasks checked off, but when Xavier threw her under the bus, she knew she was competing against a strong player.
