House of Villains season 2 is back, and until now, a total of four episodes have been released. As fans already know, this competition series consists of ten "infamous villains" from other reality TV shows. In this reality TV series, the contestants compete for the title of America's Ultimate Supervillain and a $200,000 grand prize by completing multiple challenges and using strategy while playing mind games.
Episode 4, which was released on October 24, showed that Richard Hatch was to be sent home. Camilla, the SuperVillan for this week, chose three nominees for the Hit List. Of the three, only one player was saved in the redemption challenge, while the remaining two contestants' fate was tied to voting. During the House of Villans season 2 episode 4, Jessie won the redemption challenge.
House of Villains season 2, episode 4, titled High Voltage Villains, was released exclusively on E!. The episode synopsis reads as the following:
"The hit list nominees must rely on their fellow villains to guide them through their blind Redemption Challenge; a familiar face from season 1 visits the house; Camilla continues to alienate her allies, as the villains head into banishment."
Richard Hatch went home in House of Villains season 2 episode 4
In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly on October 24, 2024, Richard Hatch opened up about the mistakes he made. Richard is the second contestant to be eliminated from House of Villains season 2. While discussing his exit, Richard blamed himself for not being able to "understand" his fellow cast members and "what they were in for." He expressed his disappointment saying:
"It's my fault, for sure. I just wasn't able to connect and communicate with these folks in a way that got them to understand what they were in for. And I should have been able to do that no matter how disconnected from reality these people might be."
As fans know, Camilla betrayed Richard after becoming the Supervillain this week. The latter shared that he had no regrets and felt he gave his best in the game with what he "knew at the time." Regarding Camilla's move to ally with Wes and Richard, the eliminated House of Villains cast member said that her gameplay was "very very messy."
Richard was a bigger threat in the competition, as mentioned during a confessional interview by Larsa Pippen. The rest of the cast had to decide whether to send Safaree Samuels home or Richard, and the majority chose to eliminate the latter from the competition.
Reflecting on his 'banishment,' Richard said:
"She had to kind of be more confident in what she was perceiving. She was too fearful of what might be, and so she ended up throwing too much at the wall at once instead of choosing something that she felt would probably have been the best approach."
Contestants who are still competing in House of Villians season 2 include Wes Bergmann, Teresa Giudice, Jessie Godderz, Victoria Larson, Larsa Pippen, Kandy Muse, Camilla Poindexter, Tiffany "New York" Pollard and Safaree Samuels
House of Villains airs every week on Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on E! with the previous episodes available to stream on Peacock TV.
