It’s time to be bad! House of Villains returned this week with a brand-new episode, and the competition has already heated up. The gamers are gaming hard right out of the gate.
In last week’s two-part premiere, Safaree became the first Supervillain of the season and threw Kandy, Victoria, and Larissa on the Hit List. It was a short-sighted decision for a few reasons but mainly because he wound up getting read for filth by Kandy. We wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
Ultimately, the villains voted out Larissa, but the episode ended on a cliffhanger teasing that a new villain could enter the competition. It turns out that wasn’t a tease, and they brought in another villain whose name almost sounds like Larissa! Here’s the full rundown on House of Villains Season 2, Episode 3, “Don’t Disrupt the Pecking Order.”
What happened in House of Villains Season 2, Episode 3?
After Larissa’s 5-2 elimination, a new player entered the competition ready to shake things up. Victoria stumbled upon a little secret, and then, a disco-themed Battle Royale Challenge shined a spotlight on all of the alliances in the house. By the end of the episode, three more villains wound up on the Hit List.
Welcome to the competition, Larsa
What’s better than one Real Housewife on House of Villains? Two Real Housewives on House of Villains! Episode 3 kicked off by revealing that Larsa Pippen from Real Housewives of Miami has entered the competition!
Of course, Larsa said in her confessional interview that she didn’t understand why people consider her a villain. Cue the montage of her messy moments from RHOM and Season 2 of The Traitors.
The other villains had mixed reactions about someone new joining the competition, moments after kicking someone else out of it. Camilla seemed unsure, and Safaree noted that the men were suddenly outnumbered in the competition. Meanwhile, New York said that she was afraid that the Housewives would “team up” and “disrupt the pecking order.” Valid concern.
On the other hand, Teresa said she was excited to see someone else from the Bravo family. Also, it turns out that Victoria and Larsa knew each other from Miami. For the most part, the villains gave Larsa a warm welcome, until she decided to throw a fit over her sleeping arrangements.
Kandy and Larsa face off
Less than five minutes after being in the house, Larsa started complaining about her bunking situation. She said she didn’t want to sleep in a room with men, and she needed someone to switch. That’s easier said than done. Tiffany and Camilla already switched beds on Day 1, and it’s literally like a game of Tetris trying to figure out who would sleep where.
Somehow, Larsa decided that Kandy would need to be the one to switch. She didn’t ask nicely, and Kandy didn’t like the tone. Ding ding ding, it’s time for another villain face-off!
“What you’re doing is being an asshole on Day 1,” Larsa told Kandy, who is actually on Day 3 of the competition.
Kandy replied, “I am an asshole. I am a f-cking asshole!”
“Well, I don’t think you move the masses, my love,” Larsa clapped back at Kandy.
The other villains just sat there in silence, watching the drama unfold. In a confessional, Teresa warned Kandy “not to f-ck” with a Housewife, because she would lose. However, we think that a drag queen versus a Housewife seems like a fair fight.
Once the two villains went to their separate corners, Victoria wound up sacrificing her bed for Larsa. Kandy got out of drag, decompressed, and apologized to Larsa in a sitdown with the women of the house. There’s clearly a gender divide happening in the game, and as a drag queen, Kandy is caught in the middle.
“I respect women and understand where you were coming from with not wanting to room with the men,” Kandy told Larsa, in front of the rest of the women in the game.
Victoria’s secret Knock Blocker
The next morning, Joel went all Mission: Impossible on us and snuck a little envelope inside the refrigerator labeled “Top Secret – Open in Private.” They say that the early bird gets the worm. Victoria was the first one to come across it.
She snuck away into a confessional and revealed a tiny little golden rooster, which they have hilariously called the Knock Blocker. It can be used to take one person off of the Hit List and the person who holds the power can swap out any other villain. That’s a powerful little prize to stumble upon in the fridge, right?
“I’ve never been happy to see a cock quite so small but this might be my favorite cock I’ve ever had in my hand,” Victoria teased in her confessional.
She declared, “We’re going to shake some things up with this little cock!”
A battle at the disco
For this week’s Battle Royale, Joel had the villains dress up in their best 1970s costumes for a disco-themed challenge. It was basically like musical chairs. Boogie down the dancefloor, and get ready for instructions when the music stops.
Joel explained they had to break off into groups of various sizes each round. Two groups of five, and three groups of three, and so on and so forth. The odd man out in each round gets kicked out of the challenge, and the last villain standing wins. It seemed easy enough, but it immediately got awkward when they realized the game was less about speed and more about their alliances. They could choose who would be the odd man out each round.
In the end, it came down to Camilla, Richard, and Kandy as the last dancers on the floor. They had to decide amongst themselves who would be the Supervillain of the Week, and they picked Camilla. Congrats to her!
Naturally, she chose Richard and Kandy for the villain outing because after all, they helped her win! Unfortunately for Richard, that allegiance didn’t last for very long.
Richard’s strategy backfired
Richard did a lot of heavy lifting in this episode. He went toe to toe with Tiffany and somehow left her speechless. He sat around naked for the majority of the episode, but most importantly, he tried to get people to talk about gameplay strategy.
Obviously, Richard isn’t new to this, and he can see what Wes is doing with his cult. Richard wants to squash it, but he needs people to help him do it.
During the Supervillain outing to Top Golf, where they made sure to say “Top Golf” no fewer than one hundred times, Richard tried to explain his thought process to Camilla. He told her that Wes, Tiffany, and Safaree would be the best people to put up on the chopping block to start dismantling the cult.
Watching from home, it’s so clear that Richard’s strategy makes sense. However, you can’t tell a Bad Girl what to do. Camilla wound up getting spooked by Richard, and she put him on the Hit List! Plot twist. Is a Bad Girl going to take down a Survivor legend?
Who is up for elimination this week?
At the Stronghold, Camilla also nominated Wes and Safaree. She explained that these guys were her biggest threats, and she wanted to win the grand prize to support her kids. Clearly, Camilla is here to play, and not just get more TV time like some of these other villains.
Unfortunately for Camilla, Victoria threw a wrench into her plan with the Knock Blocker. Everyone seemed shocked, especially Tiffany. She was like, “Is this really a part of the show?”
In a sign of allegiance to the Wes cult, Victoria decided to use the little Knock Blocker cock to save him from the Hit List. Instead, she put up Mr. Pecs, who seemed completely blindsided. In a confessional, he said he regretted not sending her home the previous week.
Next time on House of Villains, Jessie, Safaree, and Richard will battle it out in a Redemption Challenge for a chance to stay in the competition. But for one of them, the game is about to come to an end.
House of Villains continues on E! every Thursday night at 10/9c.
