House of Villains

I was confused when I saw the low IMDb rating on account of how fantastic this show is. Being a huge big brother/survivor/general reality tv fan, it gives competitive gameplay and chaotic behavior from a group of large personalities. Omarosa delivers just like she did in the Big Brother house and Bananas and Fairplay are fun to see their minds work on the competition angle. I really have nothing bad to say about this show so far after 7 episodes in and I love how it never takes itself too seriously. I hope there's a season 2, and give it a shot and take it for what's it's worth. Entertaining, competitive gameplay.

Usually I avoid reality shows as I find them fake, over edited and predictable. I'm so happy I gave this a chance. It felt like a refreshing take on the genre. The concept is to put "villains" from different reality shows into the same house and make them compete for a prize of $200,000.

From the beginning I expected that most of these people were probably willing to stirr up drama and manipulate their way to the top, they are villains after all. Strangely, I felt like this made the contestants seem more real. They don't get the chance to pretend they have nothing to hide and a lot of them seem to like the role of villain.

Most of the drama is light-hearted and the commentary from the host, the contestants and the production crew is pretty funny, at times hilarious.

Hoping there will be more seasons.

If you enjoy villainy, this may be the series for you. The producers have assembled ten so-called vlllains to compete for $200,000. Each of them is a veteran of reality TV who earned a reputation for treachery or unlikability.

Joel McHale hosts the show. The villains live in a "lair" that is a cross between the "Bachelor" house and the the "Big Brother" compound. They compete in a "Battle Royale" to determine who will be the head villain of each week. That person nominates three villains for possible banishment, who then compete in a "redemption challenge" to save one of them. The other contestants vote to determine which of the remaining two villains is banished.

The ten villains come from such shows as "Survivor", "The Apprentice" and "Love and Hip Hop". One of them may have an advantage because he has competed in more than twenty seasons of competitive reality TV. One of them proved herself to be villainous well beyond TV. All of them have inflated egos.

Expect plenty of posturing and melodramatic monologues. This show does not rank highly among all reality shows, but it definitely fills a unique niche in the genre.

Each person brings their own spark to the show. None of those stars shine as bright as Tiffany (New York) Pollard. She is in her delulu era and I'm hear for it. Challenge fans will recognize some of Johnny Bananas old tricks. Omarosa is as cunning and blunt just like she was on Celebrity Big Brother. The way each player is eliminates is hilarious. Joel McHale is the perfect host. The editing is pretty good. Only bad thing is the cliffhangers but I can get over that. Watching these people who have been on my television for twenty years separately interact with each other is a pleasure. The villains know their roles and came to play.

Love to hate these villains!!!! It's a game show of conniving people under one roof and it's perfect for reality lovers. You get to see their personalities at their worst and somewhat best LoL.

Also mixing from different shows makes me interested in checking those other shows also. You have Joel mchale as host-perfect to amp up the snark!! Your female voice Eva delivers too. This group knows to make fun of themselves and strategize their game.

Bring on more seasons please. Maybe see if Americas Next Top Model's villains and Housewives meanies are available. I'm sure they can find many reality baddies to do this show.
