Morgan Cook was the latest Faithful to be murdered on The Traitors: New Blood, and she\u2019s now hit out at the edit, saying viewers only saw a fraction of her game.<\/p>\n
After her exit in the most recent episode, Morgan commented on an Instagram post about the show<\/a>, saying she had suspected Joe and Katie but none of it made it to air.<\/p>\n \u201cWish an iota of these instincts had been included in the show bc I did speak up about Joe and Katie\u2014at the roundtable, to their faces, to other ppl, but apparently there was no airtime available for that, yet infinite airtime available for me being (yes, diabolically wrong) about fruit,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n Morgan also claimed she knows exactly why she was taken out, and that it wasn\u2019t shown on screen. \u201cAnd I know some of y\u2019all will never believe it, but I was eliminated bc Joe knew I was coming for him. He told me before the show aired,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cBut bc they chose not to show any of my suspicions or strategy, they also couldn\u2019t indicate that was part of my demise. So what you\u2019re left with is about one per cent of my actual story line (and that goes for pretty much the entire cast).\u201d<\/p>\n Morgan\u2019s comments refer to one of the biggest moments of the season so far. In episode six, which viewers have nicknamed \u201cFruitgate\u201d, the Traitors murdered Niyyah in plain sight by having a Traitor toss her a \u201cpoisoned\u201d apple.<\/p>\n Faithful Victor Vollbrechthausen<\/a> spotted it and correctly worked out that Tomica and Joe were Traitors. But the other Faithfuls didn\u2019t believe him, and Morgan was one of the people who told him he was wrong, even defending Tomica\u2019s right to eat fruit at midnight.<\/p>\n Speaking to Entertainment Weekly<\/a> after her murder, Morgan admitted she\u2019d got it wrong. Asked how she felt when she found out Victor had been right, she said: \u201cI was like, \u2018Oh my God, he\u2019s gonna hold this over my head for the rest of my life!\u2019 He should!\u201d<\/p>\n She explained that she\u2019d completely forgotten that Joe had thrown fruit at her too. \u201cI know the fruit looks super obvious in the moment when Joe throws it at me, but it was so insignificant in that moment,\u201d she said. \u201cLike, Joe just be throwing things. He walks around, he tosses you something. It was so not weird.\u201d She added that the three other Faithfuls sitting with her didn\u2019t remember it either.<\/p>\n Morgan said she also didn\u2019t buy Victor\u2019s theory because it seemed too simple compared with previous murders in plain sight. She pointed to last season, when the Traitors used a conga line as a distraction, and said she couldn\u2019t believe the producers would just \u201chave him hand someone an apple.\u201d<\/p>\n On top of that, the Faithfuls weren\u2019t sure whether Victor himself was a Traitor trying to draw attention away from something else. \u201cHe was just being normal, and we discounted that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Morgan told EW<\/a> she was \u201cshocked\u201d when she found the note telling her she\u2019d been murdered with \u201ca pinch of poison\u201d. She\u2019d thought her defence of Tomica might make her look like a Traitor, which would make her more useful to keep around as someone to blame.<\/p>\n \u201cI thought there was a really good argument that could have been made for me being a Traitor with Tomica because I was literally defending her right to eat fruit at midnight till my last breath,\u201d she said. Instead, she\u2019d expected the Traitors to go after someone who was clearly a Faithful, like Abbey B, Clyde or Victor.<\/p>\n Now, if what she\u2019s saying is true, it looks like Joe saw her coming after all.<\/p>\n For all the latest reality TV cast member news, scandals, gossip and updates \u2013 like <\/i>Reality Shrine<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/a> on <\/i>Facebook<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ‘I was eliminated because Joe knew I was coming for him’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":249734183,"featured_media":66308,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1358],"tags":[2270],"class_list":["post-66302","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-the-traitors-new-blood"],"acf":[],"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/11\/10\/traitors-new-bloods-morgan-says-the-show-cut-her-suspicions-about-joe-and-katie\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Traitors: New Blood\u2019s Morgan says the show cut her suspicions about Joe and Katie","url":"http:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/11\/10\/traitors-new-bloods-morgan-says-the-show-cut-her-suspicions-about-joe-and-katie\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/11\/10\/traitors-new-bloods-morgan-says-the-show-cut-her-suspicions-about-joe-and-katie\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/cdn.realitytvshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Ellie-New-Featured-Images-2-1-150x150.png","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/cdn.realitytvshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Ellie-New-Featured-Images-2-1.png"},"articleSection":"News","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ellie Ring"}],"creator":["Ellie Ring"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Reality Shrine","logo":"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cropped-mX3_1x3z.png"},"keywords":["the traitors: new blood"],"dateCreated":"2026-11-10T10:29:53Z","datePublished":"2026-11-10T10:29:53Z","dateModified":"2026-11-10T10:29:53Z"},"rendered":"Morgan claims Joe told her why she was murdered<\/h2>\n
