HOLLYWOOD—Look I’m about to say something controversial, but I don’t care. The E! Reality series “House of Villains” needs to ensure it casts actual villains and not wannabe thirsty reality TV stars. Two seasons in a row, the actual villain who played the game the best has not won the game so what does that say America. It says perhaps the show has an issue. I mean Johnny Bananas ran circles around Tanisha from the “Bad Girls Club” who barely did anything, but she won in the end by the jury of her peers.
For this second season, Wes Bergmann ran circles around circles against all the villains. I mean that strategy with the immunity card that halted Kandy Muse from nominating her biggest threat was absolutely genius and I’m baffled that she didn’t look closer to ensure it was not a fake. We had some villains this second go around and some not so much villains. I mean why was Safaree Samuels, who became our eventual winner even cast? He is not a villain, just a thirsty person desperate to be on any show that will take him. I mean he was literally on every franchise of “Love and Hip Hop” while it aired on VH1, now notably airing on MTV and VH1 minus Safaree (thank God).
He was so damn annoying on this recent season of “HOV.” I mean Camilla, Richard, Victoria, Teresa, Kandy, Wes and the great Tiffany “New York” Pollard delivered that villainy. I was not happy to see Larsa, who annoyed me, and Larissa, not sure why she was there, but Jesse from “Big Brother 10” and “Big Brother 11” was a question mark. I wouldn’t call him a villain, but he can be annoying and that is what he was on BB, and even the villains he was competing with questioned his villainy, but damn did he shock me.
This finale had me on the edge of my seat with a move that had me screaming at the TV and clapping at the same time. Sorry if I haven’t already spoiled the ending, but I’m about to do it in detail NOW, so stop reading if you haven’t watched! The winner was Safaree Samuels, after a tie vote for the second season in a row and guess who would break the tie Jessie Godderz. All I can say is that it was glorious television that might have Jessie taking the reins of the villain to beat in the future.
Jessie secured his spot in the final three, and then took Safaree with him, forcing Wes, New York and Larsa to compete for the final spot in a series of questions that were tricky to say the least. In the end it was Wes who was victorious, forcing Tiffany and Larsa to bid adieu to the competition. However, in a first all the villains previously voted out were brought back to live in the house before the winner was ultimately voted for.
Wes and Jesse continued to play the game, while Safaree did nothing, which further frustrated me by his actual win. Safaree didn’t do one villainous thing the entire season. If he did please name it because I watched the series and it was a massive disappointment for me. Before we get to the vote, Jesse and Wes had a war of the words in the previous episode, where Jesse went back on his word to take Wes to the finale. It was nasty, it was brutal and it got all the villains looking at Jesse in a new light. Yeah, he is a showman, but he is a villain more than that, and the audience got to see it in all of its epic glory.
The two continued to trade barbs, as the final speeches were given and ONLY WES WOWED, when he revealed that immunity card was fake. Tiffany aka New York appreciated the villainous move, while Larsa complained. Oh that woman annoys the hell out of me. It was genius and the true testament of a villain and I don’t care what anyone says, but it was apparent Kandy was horrified that she was hoodwinked and wanted vengeance.
With that said, the votes were read with Larsa, Teresa, Camilla and Kandy all voting for Safaree, while Larissa, Richard, Victoria and Tiffany all voting for Wes. So who would break the tie? Jesse, who was the third-place finisher with not a single vote. Jesse was loving this, but what he did next blew my socks off. He told Wes he could have his vote; all he had to do was beg for it. That’s not it, he told Wes to get on his knees and beg for it. The villains were aghast at the move and so was I. Jesse could not be serious could he? Oh, America he was serious and told Wes if he begs, he gets the win.
My gut was telling me Wes should tell Jesse to shove it up his butt, however, Wes took the risk, but he was not that convincing for me, and Jesse reneged yet again, after embarrassing himself not only to the villains, but all of America and Jesse shook Safaree’s hand congratulating him. I was literally dead watching it and blew me away. I may not have loved Wes, but he played the hell out of the villains this season and deserved to win. So perhaps going into season three we should have a villainy chart, where each week the villain with the best move earns points or something. This voting based on who you like, yet its all about wicked TV characters just leaves a sour taste in your mouth.
I will say this, I would NOT mind seeing Jesse, Wes, New York, and Kandy Muse back for another round, but this time with the likes of Omarosa, Bobby Lytes and Johnny Bananas from the first season, with a few more villainy characters. Now that is a cast I would watch people. I’m already thinking who should get an invitation for season three, which I know we’re getting after that finale right “House of Villains” fans!
