## Joe Vanella's Traitor Strategy

> I don't think you let Victor into the turret. I don't think that you want that in the turret, I think that Shane was the right choice, which is funny because Victor and Wyatt [Gillespie], they're showing cracks in their little alliance at the last episode, but Shane's the guy who watches a lot of reality TV, he's a heady player; he was my guy in the castle.
## Katie Fites Chooses Shane Beatty
Katie Fites selected Shane Beatty over Victor Vollbrechthausen to recruit for The Traitors: New Blood.

> I think they're a great team. I think that they're walking away with the $250,000.
## Victor Vollbrechthausen's Weakness

> Outside of the fruit gate thing, what evidence has Victor brought to anybody that carries any sort of weight?
## Joe Vanella's Final Prediction

## Joe Vanella's Fruit Strategy
