The latest episode of House of Villains, released on October 17, 2024, continued to raise the stakes for the show's diverse group of reality TV villains. The competition pitted some of the most famous reality TV stars against each other, changed direction in Season 2, Episode 3: 'Don't Disrupt the Pecking Order.'
A new villain showed up, and there was a fierce Battle Royale. Strategic moves shook up alliances and put contestants at risk of elimination. In last week's two-part premiere, Safaree Samuels became the first Supervillain of the season, putting Kandy Muse, Victoria Larson, and Larissa Lima on the Hit List.
After Larissa was eliminated, the door opened for the next player to join the competition, which led to more power plays. This episode marked key moments where personalities clashed, especially with the introduction of Real Housewives of Miami star Larsa Pippen, who quickly stirred up drama in the House of Villains.
Larsa Pippen shakes up season 2 of House of Villains
Larsa Pippen’s entrance into the game immediately disrupted the existing dynamics. Coming from The Real Housewives of Miami, her arrival was met with mixed reactions from the other contestants.
While some villains, such as Teresa Giudice, welcomed her as a fellow Real Housewife, others, like Kandy Muse and Tiffany Pollard, were wary of how Larsa’s presence would impact the competition.
Larsa Pippen’s entry into the competition immediately caused stress when she raised concerns about her sleeping arrangements, specifically her refusal to room with the men.
This request to switch beds caused a confrontation with Kandy Muse, leading to a tense conversation. Victoria Larson eventually stepped in and offered Larsa her bed, resolving the immediate conflict.
However, the incident revealed underlying tensions in the house and hinted that alliances might shift.
As episode 3 of House of Villains continued, Larsa's presence raised concerns about the house dynamics, particularly the possibility of a Real Housewives alliance and the noticeable gender divide among the contestants. These new factors made the competition more complex.
The disco battle royale and strategic shifts in House of Villains
In episode 3 of House of Villains, the competition heated up with a Battle Royale Challenge featuring a disco theme. The villains dressed in 1970s outfits battled it out on the dancefloor.
The challenge wasn’t just a nostalgic throwback; it showcased the strength of alliances and highlighted key players in the game. The rules required contestants to group, with those left out being eliminated one by one.
Camilla Poindexter, Richard Hatch, and Kandy Muse made it to the final round. In a display of strategy and teamwork, they agreed that Camilla should be the Supervillain of the Week. With her newfound power, Camilla nominated Richard and Kandy for elimination due to their assistance in the challenge.
However, Richard’s plan to thwart Wes Bergmann’s growing influence backfired when Camilla placed him on the Hit List alongside Wes and Safaree Samuels.
Victoria then uses her secret power, the Knock Blocker, to save Wes from the Hit List and replace him with Mr. Pecs, preventing Camilla from carrying out her nominations as planned.
The strategic use of this power added complexity to the elimination process and demonstrated the shifting alliances in the House. By the end of the episode, the stage was set for a challenging Redemption Challenge between Richard, Safaree, and Jessie.
Only one would advance to the next round of the game of House of Villains.
