Larsa and Teresa’s campaign for supervillain in House of Villains
Larsa and Teresa competed for the title of Supervillain in House of Villains season 2, episode 5, which highlighted their different approaches. Despite entering the competition later than some of her peers, Larsa quickly won over her housemates. She took a direct approach, appealing to the competitors by portraying herself as a strategic player capable of swiftly navigating the competition.
She boldly declared during her campaign, "I come from a culture of winners," highlighting her will and determination to succeed.
Other players responded favorably to this message, distinguishing her as a strong candidate for the Supervillain title. Teresa, on the other hand, leaned on her history with fellow contestants. Rather than adopting a strategic pitch, she opted for a personal approach, urging others to support her based on their prior bonds.
"You’ve known me longer, so you should vote for me," she told her housemates, hoping that loyalty would carry her through.
However, this message seemed less effective against Larsa’s more assertive strategy. When the votes were counted, Larsa won by a landslide, leaving Teresa with just one vote from Victoria.
Unexpected nominations and brewing tensions in House of Villains
As a Supervillain, Larsa used her power to put Teresa, Victoria, and Camilla on the Hit List, surprising many by betraying her alliance with Teresa. Teresa was shocked and clashed with Larsa and others, especially Tiffany, who criticized Teresa’s lack of initiative and openly aimed to evict her, sparking a new rivalry in the house.
Victoria and Camilla, who were also nominated, decided to put aside their differences to fight Larsa, who they both saw as a threat. They were both annoyed by how she manipulated them, so they thought about working together against her briefly. This set the stage for a complicated situation in which their loyalties kept changing.
As shown by the nominations, Larsa was willing to make strategic moves, even if they made her enemies along the way. Her choices showed that she was determined to learn from the past and avoid getting too close to anyone, even people who used to be her allies.
