Who stars in 'House of Villains'?
Here are the 10 reality TV alums to compete on 'House of Villains' for the grand prize of $200,000.
Anfisa Arkhipchenko
Fans of the show '90 Day Fiance' will remember Anfisa as the alum from the show's fourth season who relocated to the US from Russia to live with her partner Jorge Nava.
Despite Jorge's love for her, Anfisa was quite vocal about the fact that she was with him just for his money. In a weird twist, it was revealed that Jorge's claims about his wealth were fake and this led to violent altercations between the two, resulting in Anfisa slapping him and trashing his car.
Shake Chatterjee
Shake Chatterjee's reputation for being a villain was first created in the pods on Netflix's 'Love Is Blind' as he was in the habit of being rude and offensive while speaking to the female contestants.
Moreover, he was too arrogant about not being attracted to Deepti Vempati and went to all extents to proclaim his hate for her.
Jonny Fairplay
Despite his name, Jonny was notorious on 'Survivor: Pearl Islands' for not playing fair and was instrumental in deceiving both the host of the show Jeff Probst, and his fellow contestants by constructing a massive and layered lie.
During a particular stage in the show, the contestants required the participation of their friends and family who came to the island to help them compete against a particular obstacle and Jonny cleverly schemed with his friend Dan and spread the news that his grandmother had passed.
It resulted in the other contestants sympathizing with him and letting him win the round.
Johnny Bananas
Johnny appeared on 'The Challenge' for a whopping 21 seasons and won seven times. As a result of his winnings, he was able to amass a total fortune of $1,184,720 in prize money collections.
However, he reached this point in the show by literally manipulating, deviously scheming, and lying to every one of the contestants.
Bobby Lytes
Bobby, of 'Love & Hip-Hop Miami' fame, is a rapper, hip-hop musician as well as an influencer. He is known to be otherwise loyal and accountable to his friends.
However, his behavior often takes a turn for the unpredictable, as he is known to lose his calm and get down to playing dirty when he's cornered.
Omarosa Manigault Newman
Omarosa raised a lot of eyebrows during her debut appearance on the first season of 'The Apprentice', which premiered in 2004. She was instantly recognizable as someone who frequently engaged in conflicts and fights with other contestants.
Even after decades, her knack for quarreling remains strong.
Corinne Olympios
Corrinne is famous for her appearances on shows like 'The Bachelor' and 'Bachelor in Paradise'. She seems to derive a lot of delight by getting on people's nerves and is also one of those contestants who would go to any extent to win.
Tiffany 'New York' Pollard
Tiffany was also known as "New York" on the show 'Flavour of Love'. She is bombastic and knows what she wants.
She has never shied away from speaking her mind and endeared herself to the audience of the show by talking about love in the most transparent manner possible.
Jax Taylor
There is scarcely a villainous trait that 'Vanderpump Rules' star Jax does not possess. Throughout his time on the show, he was constantly found gossiping, cheating, and stabbing his fellow contestants behind their backs.
He was charged with a felony in Hawaii, which was subsequently reduced to a lesser charge for which he had to serve probation.
Tanisha Thomas
Tanisha's iconic appearance on 'Bad Girls Club' Season 2 is well remembered by her fans. During her time on the show, she was the official leader of the house around whom a band of followers and admirers revolved.
Later, she got to host the 'Bad Girls Club' reunion.
What is the latest buzz around 'House of Villains'?
It goes without saying that all of the above-mentioned villains have grabbed a significant amount of eyeballs in their time, and their influence persists across reality television.
E! Entertainment's 'House of Villains' promises a power-packed showdown between contestants who are equally adept at backstabbing, scheming, calling each other out, and manipulating one another to get what they want.
As the show moves through its successive challenges, the pressure exerted on the supervillains is expected to bring the worst out in them.
