Let’s get villainous! Reality TV’s least serious competition show went dark for a week due to the Thanksgiving holiday, but House of Villains is back, and it’s airing at a brand-new time for the rest of the season.
The last time we saw the villains, they chose to banish Victoria from the game, and she left with some not-so-friendly parting words for Teresa. Then, Joel dropped the news that there would be a surprise double banishment. Gasp!
Joel had the villains line themselves up from most villainous to least villainous. Those placements wound up being the determining factor for who went home in House of Villains Season 2, Episode 9: “F Bombs Away.”
What happened in House of Villains Season 2, Episode 9?
The villains hardly had time to process Victoria’s elimination before Joel sent another villain packing. The remaining players competed in a Battle Royale Challenge, and with only six players left, the winner earned some serious control over the game. Meanwhile, Wes’ fake immunity note slowly started to blow up in his face. But is anyone brave enough to take him down? Keep reading to see how it all played out.
The lesser of all evils
When Joel told the villains to line up in order from most villainous to least villainous, Kandy put herself as the most villainous while Teresa claimed to be the least villainous. Real Housewives of New Jersey fans know that’s not the case, but okay Tre.
The players who came from competition reality shows knew they should place themselves in the middle of that lineup to avoid whatever Joel had coming. Teresa wasn’t thinking that far ahead, and it bit her in the ass.
Joel dropped the news that since this is a show about being the biggest villain, it was time to get rid of the least villainous player. You could see in Teresa’s face that she was slowly putting two and two together. It was game over for Tre, but she took it like a champ.
“I didn’t lie, I didn’t backstab anyone, and if I had to be voted off for being the least villainous, I don’t mind taking that title,” Teresa said in a confessional before getting tossed out of the game.
Tre’s sudden elimination left everyone gagged. Tiffany was livid because she said it should have been Jessie. Safaree couldn’t pick his jaw up off the ground. Larsa said she was traumatized.
The only person who didn’t care was Wes. He told the remaining villains to stop moping about eliminated players and to start celebrating being one step closer to the grand prize.
Kandy spilled Wes’ immunity tea
With no alliances left, Kandy realized that her best chance at survival would be to try to disrupt the Wes cult. She decided to do that by telling Safaree about the immunity note Wes claimed to have. Of course, we all know it’s fake, but the concept of it was enough to spook Safaree. If Wes is part of your alliance, why didn’t he tell you about his “immunity?”
On the way to the Battle Royale Challenge, Safaree told Larsa and Tiffany about the immunity letter. He admitted that he had a funny feeling about it. Did Kandy lie? Did Wes lie? Is everything a lie?
When presented with this info, Larsa said she didn’t care. She declared she would be loyal to Wes no matter what. We’ll see how that works out for her.
Zero f*cks to give
Ahead of this week’s Battle Royale Challenge, Joel told the villains that we have officially reached a turning point in the game. There’d be no more Redemption Challenges, no more rewards, and no more immunity. Instead, the winner of the Battle Royale Challenge would get to choose two villains to put up for banishment. That’s some serious power.
This week’s challenge was called “Zero F-cks to Give,” and had the villains launching bombs across a field with a giant slingshot. Each villain started with 25 bombs, and the goal was to launch all 25 of them. However, they could sabotage each other by adding more bombs to the piles of their opponents. Strategy!
When Joel shared the details of the game, Wes lit up. He said it reminded him of something they would do on The Challenge, so he felt like he had a fair shot. Then, everyone started sabotaging him by adding more bombs to his pile, so he decided to give up and let Jessie win.
“Here’s my little puppet winning this game, and then he’ll hopefully do my bidding for me,” Wes quipped in a confessional.
Sure enough, Jessie ended up winning his first-ever Battle Royale Challenge, earning him the power to put two villains up for elimination.
Jessie’s “pectacular” plan
After winning the challenge, Jessie approached New York to reveal his master plan. He wanted to put himself up for banishment. Of course, New York said what we were all thinking. She asked, “Why would you do something so stupid?”
Jessie explained that he wanted to put himself up as a pawn and then nominate Wes. That way, he wouldn’t anger two people in the game, and they could finally get rid of the player pulling all the strings. It’s a good idea, but Jessie doesn’t realize that New York has had a secret alliance with Wes since Day 1. It all goes back to their time together on a still-to-air season of Worst Cooks in America.
Lo and behold, New York ended up spilling the beans to Wes, effectively ruining the pectacular plan. Then, Kandy showed up and dropped the news about the immunity letter, which made Jessie even more confused. How can he trust Wes if he never told him about this? Bombs were dropping left and right this week.
Who did Jessie nominate for banishment?
Jessie spent hours trying to figure out who to put up for banishment. Should he take his shot at Wes, who has been lying his way through the game, or should he stick with his alliance and go after Kandy?
We know just how much Wes has been manipulating the game. The people at home don’t need Bobby Lytes to tell us this. However, Jessie couldn’t see through it and decided to keep Wes safe for another week. Instead, Jessie decided to nominate Tiffany and Kandy.
It’s hard not to scream at your TV while watching Jessie make these unfortunate choices. Luckily for us, Tiffany and Kandy teamed up to drag him for filth. If there’s a Reality TV Hall of Fame, this moment belongs in it. Seriously, Tiffany called him an “uncircumcised chicken fetus” for crying out loud!
Once the dust settled from Jessie’s ill-informed decisions, Joel revealed that he had one more surprise in store for the villains. But, we’ll have to wait until next week to see what it is.
House of Villains continues on E! on Thursdays at 9/8c.
