Teresa Giudice’s House of Villains Strategy Was to ‘Threaten Certain People’

Season 14 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey left the show in tatters. And with that, OG Teresa Giudice and the rest of the cast don’t know if they will be back. For now, Bravo is trying to decide how to move forward with the series. So, in her downtime, Teresa headed over to film House of Villains Season 2. The winner will get a check for $200,000. And let’s just say that Teresa’s initial strategy will be mighty familiar to RHONJ fans.

Of course, Teresa will forever be known as the table flipper from RHONJ. When she lost it at a restaurant and flipped a table during a confrontation with Danielle Staub, it was iconic.

So, how did Teresa approach living and competing with a house full of villains? “When I’m pushed to be a villain,” Teresa told PEOPLE, “I become one.” And two of her House of Villain co-stars, Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star Safaree and Wes Bergmann of The Challenge gave Teresa a shove into that dark place.

“Hanging out with these two in a house, I became more villainous being around them,” Teresa explained. She zeroed in on Wes being a big threat in the game. “He definitely knows how to play the game, and he’s definitely strategic. At first, I was like, ‘I’m not going to vibe with this guy,’ because I like friendly people,” the mom of four said. “He wasn’t friendly at first. It took him a little while to warm up, but then I have to say, he became a Housewife.”

It’s a good thing that Wes was able to share some knowledge with Teresa because her strategy wasn’t very … strategic. “I only threatened certain people that I knew I had to,” Teresa said. “It went by the vibe. That was my strategy.”

The trailer for Season 2 of House of Villains showed Teresa and I Love New York star Tiffany Pollard verbally sparring. However, the duo were roommates during the show.

Tiffany said, “I say, in the House of Villains, there ain’t no hard feelings because when I want to create some invisible issues, I’m going to do that. So I was bored and I wanted to just shake up my roommate and have a little fun,” she added. Fingers crossed all the furniture in their room was bolted to the ground.

Season 2 of House of Villains premieres on Wednesday, October 9 on E! at 10/9c. Watch Episode 2 at its regular time, Thursday nights on E! at 10/9c.
