Safaree Samuels wins House of Villains season 2

The House of Villains season 2 finale was a redemption challenge, with Wes Bergmann, Larsa Pippen, and Tiffany "New York" Pollard, competing for a spot in the final three. In the challenge, the contestants had to match quotes from eliminated contestants to the right individuals. The challenge was called Arch Enemies and after matching the quotes, the contestants had to build an arch with blocks with the contestants' faces.

While Wes Bergmann completed the challenge first, his arch was assembled wrong initially. Despite the mix-up, Wes completed the task before others and made it to the final trio.

The voting process and finalists' pleas

After the redemption challenge, the remaining contestants, Safaree, Wes, and Jessie, competed for the votes of the eliminated villains. Each of the finalists was tasked with explaining their most heinous moves during the competition.

Safaree mentioned his move on Camilla Poindexter before she was kicked out of the show, while Jessie mentioned cutting off his closest ally, Kandy Muse. The third contestant, Wes, shared the inside scoop about his secret alliance with Tiffany "New York" Pollard. He said that from the beginning, they had planned to take each other to the final stages.

Following these confessions, the eliminated contestants voiced their preferences as the voting process went on. Kandy Muse, Larsa Pippen, Teresa Giudice, and others voted for Safaree, while New York, Richard Hatch, Victoria Larson, and Larissa Lima favored Wes.

The votes were tied between Safaree and Wes, but Jessie Godderz didn't receive any votes and was tasked with breaking the tie. Despite Wes’s attempt to sway Jessie by begging for the win, Jessie ultimately declared Safaree as the winner.

The final decision

Jessie’s declaration of Safaree as the winner was met with mixed reactions. Wes had hoped to secure Jessie’s vote by engaging in a moment of humility and begged Jessie to vote for him. He said that he "didn't want to compete against anyone," before calling himself a "loser" who was "totally at your [Jessie's] mercy."

However, Jessie was not convinced by the plea and voted for Safaree, who had earned praise for his authenticity throughout the game. Safaree reflected on his approach to the House of Villains competition and said that he didn't have to do any "fake politicking."

“I didn’t have to do no fake politicking and pull ya’ll to the side for no one on one bulls---… Because I’ve been how I’ve been since I walked in this house,” he said.

He highlighted his straightforward approach, which he believed, was key to his victory.
