You’ll need a hazmat suit for this week’s House of Villains recap. Things got extra messy in this episode, and literally, no one made it out without getting their hands dirty. After all, they’re villains.
House of Villains Season 2, Episode 7 had blood, sweat, tears, and of course, a little bit of glitter thanks to Kandy Muse. By the end, three more villains got added to the Hit List, meaning they’ll have to fight to stay alive for the $200,000 prize.
What happened in House of Villains Season 2, Episode 7?
After Camilla’s elimination, the villains regrouped and entered a bloody Battle Royale Challenge to determine a new Supervillain of the Week. Meanwhile, Wes devised a game-changing strategy that might be the craziest thing we’ve ever seen in a competition show. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
As if that’s not enough for one episode, Victoria and Larsa’s bickering reached new levels of toxicity. It got so wild that even Joel seemed a little bewildered. Keep on reading to get the details on everything that went down this week.
Kandy wants revenge
So far on House of Villains, Kandy’s alliance has been taking hit after hit. First, it was Larissa, then Richard, and most recently, Camilla. Realizing that the numbers were completely against her, Kandy came out of the Bashiment Ceremony making it known that she wasn’t going to be backing down.
Plus, there’s a lingering question about that vote against Camilla. The votes came to 4-2, so someone in the house is lying about how they’re playing. Either way, Kandy vowed to get revenge and loosen Wes’ grip over the house. Every cult crumbles eventually.
Elsewhere in the lair, Larsa hilariously tried to broker peace between Teresa and Tiffany. After their wild blowup in the previous episode, the two still had some lingering tension.
Fans of The Real Housewives of New Jersey probably weren’t surprised to hear that Teresa still felt hung up on the fact that New York accused Luis Ruelas of cheating. That’s a line you should not cross. However, thanks to Larsa, they were quickly able to squash their beef. Tiffany didn’t realize that Teresa couldn’t take that kind of heat.
“Sometimes I do get your show mixed up with Mob Wives,” Tiffany said in an attempt to smooth things over. “And I love Goodfellas. That’s one of my favorite movies!”
A bloody Battle Royale Challenge
For this week’s Battle Royale Challenge, Joel brought the villains into the Stronghold. Instead of its usual grey walls, they wrapped everything in plastic and put the villains in hazmat suits. Then, they learned that the name of this week’s challenge was “Blood On Your Hands.”
When Joel initially explained the rules of the game, it felt like he was explaining rocket science. Seriously, he made it sound so complicated, and you know they had to explain it really slowly for some of those villains.
In a nutshell, the villains had to trick each other into opening bags filled with fake blood. They’d face off in pairs, and the last person standing with no blood would win Supervillain of the Week. It’s a game of deception, which seems perfect for a Real Housewife, right? Wrong. Larsa and Tre got covered in blood, and it wound up coming down to Victoria and Kandy. That’s a lose-lose situation for Larsa.
In the end, Kandy wound up winning Supervillain of the Week. It came just in the nick of time because otherwise, she probably would have ended up on the Hit List. For the Supervillain reward, Kandy chose Jessie and New York to accompany her. She said she felt like she could trust Jessie. New York on the other hand, she’s just a wild card with a penchant for psychic visions. Why wouldn’t you want her in your corner?
Wes has an ace up his sleeve
When Wes came into House of Villains Season 2, he claimed that he was a MENSA-level genius. That might not be the case, but he is certainly a genius at being a reality TV competitor. Those skills were on full display this week once Kandy won Supervillain of the Week.
Although Kandy’s allies have mostly been eliminated, Wes realizes that she might be setting herself up to win the whole thing. If all of her friends have been eliminated, they’ll serve on the jury to decide who wins the whole thing. Those positive relationships are what helped the Season 1 winner. With that in mind, Wes decided to reveal his secret weapon: a fake prop promising immunity to a player who “discovers” it.
In a prerecorded video, we see Wes pulling out his best arts and crafts skills to make a note. It read, “Congrats, Villain! You have discovered a hidden immunity pass.”
Seriously, this thing was pretty convincing, and all of a sudden, it started to make sense why Victoria found that random Knock Blocker at the beginning of the season. The producers probably knew Wes was planning this trick and wanted to help make his lie seem more believable.
Where Wes messed up with this plan was that he lied and told Kandy that the immunity letter was actually a perk that would allow him to hijack her Supervillain of the Week status. That’s a big lie on top of an even bigger lie, and it proved to be a bit too much. After talking it over with New York and Jessie, Kandy realized something was suspicious about what Wes was trying to sell her.
Decisions, decisions
Ahead of the Banishment Ceremony, Kandy the Supervillain had a lot to consider. First, she had to figure out the look — she settled on an oversized blazer and black pumps. Then, she had to figure out how to handle the Wes situation. Does she take a chance and go after him, even if it evokes some type of “secret immunity pass?” Or, does she go after his alliances to weaken their group and even the playing field?
Ultimately, Kandy went for Option B. She sought to handicap the Wes cult and get some revenge for people who screwed her over earlier in the game. She decided to nominate Safaree, Victoria, and Larsa.
Those nominations should have been plenty of drama for one episode, but of course, Larsa and Victoria took it as another opportunity to rip each other to shreds. If they’re next to each other, they’re fighting, and at this point, the fact that Vicotria was ever even invited to Larsa’s dog’s birthday party is shocking.
As the villains walked out of the Stronghold, Larsa told her fellow villains that her beef with Victoria was getting “toxic.” She desperately wants her out of the game. Meanwhile, Victoria had her own thoughts on the drama.
“Dude, I seriously want to punch her in the f-cking face.”
Season 2 of House of Villains continues on Thursday nights at 10/9c on E!.
