House of Villains Season 2, Episode 8 Recap: Which Villain Got the Last Laugh?

Time flies when you’re being bad, and somehow, we’re already over halfway through Season 2 of House of Villains! One of these reality TV legends is going to walk out of the lair with $200,000, but the closer we get to the finish line, the more unpredictable the game becomes.

Last week, Kandy won the Supervillain of the Week after dominating a blood bath of a Battle Royale Challenge. Before Kandy could bask in her victory, Wes tried to disrupt the game with a fake immunity note. It was a cute attempt, but Kandy still wound up nominating three members of his cult for elimination. In House of Villains Season 2, Episode 8 “Un-Funny Business,” one of them got banished.

Victoria, Safaree, and Larsa competed in a Redemption Challenge that went completely off the rails. Pressed with a difficult decision, Teresa stopped playing checkers and finally started playing chess. Meanwhile, Kandy soaked up all of the fun of being the Supervillain of the Week before flipping someone out of the competition. We’ve got all of the details on how Episode 8 played out.

Larsa and Victoria’s beef spilled over from the Stronghold, and Victoria said she was fed up with the nonstop fighting. She’s fought with Larissa. She’s fought with Kandy, and at this point, she’s at her breaking point with Larsa’s nonstop attacks.

“She insulted my home, my clothing, and she’s just like a tacky old lady,” Victoria expressed in a tearful confessional.

Out of all of the villains in the house, it was Tiffany who tried to be the voice of reason. She asked the other villains to lay off Victoria—at least for a little bit. Just give her some grace!

Despite New York’s pleas, the truce lasted a total of two seconds before Larsa immediately went back into dragging Victoria. This is either some sort of twisted strategy from Larsa or she just really hates this girl.

Cap That gets cringe

One of the best Redemption Challenges of Season 1 was called, “Cap That,” which had the villains on the Hit List write funny captions underneath random stills from the season. It went so well the first time that the producers tried to recreate it. Unfortunately, it went horribly wrong.

When Victoria, Larsa, and Safaree were challenged to write the funny captions, they just were terrible. The reactions from the villains on the sidelines wound up being more entertaining than the challenge itself.

The producers decided to spare us from the cringe, and they “fast-forwarded” through the challenge so we wouldn’t have to endure as much of it. They did the viewers a favor, but they also saved the villains from some brutal humiliation. Some of the captions they wrote were just flat-out strange.

For example, Larsa captioned a picture of Safaree: “I used too much coconut oil. I’m slippin’ and slidin’ through this bitch. My skin feels dry.”

Obviously, none of these villains have a future in comedy, and it ended up being neck and neck by the end of the game. It all came down to the final image, which was hilariously a picture of Teresa in an orange jumpsuit from the season’s first challenge.

Safaree wound up taking all of the points for the final round. He won the challenge and got himself removed from the Hit List, leaving Larsa and Victoria at risk. Now, let’s all forget this horrible challenge ever happened.

RIP Mother Teresa

With Victoria and Larsa up for elimination, Teresa found herself caught in the middle. She’s roommates with Victoria, and they’ve established a friendship in the game. On the other hand, Larsa is a Real Housewife, and the Housewives stick together. What’s a Jersey girl to do?

In a confessional, Teresa acknowledged that she was finally being pushed into the nitty-gritty of the game. She said it was finally time to lean into strategy. After all, her previous strategy of cooking Italian food didn’t work.

With this realization, Teresa proclaimed that there’d be no more “Mother Teresa” and she’d be unleashing her inner villain. Then, we got a hilarious montage of Teresa dressed up as Mother Teresa running around doing good deeds for her fellow villains. This show deserves an Emmy for that alone.

In the house, Victoria tried her hardest to convince Teresa to side with her in the Banishment. Meanwhile, Larsa was doing the same thing. Somehow, Larsa expected Teresa to forget that she just put her up for banishment in the previous round.

Teresa rightfully questioned Larsa’s loyalty, and the Real Housewives of Miami star hit back with the most unconvincing statement ever told on reality TV.

“I mean, yeah. I’m as loyal as they get,” Larsa claimed.

You could see Larsa questioning herself as those words left her mouth. But, what is it enough to convince Teresa? Maybe.

Who got banished this week on House of Villains?

In a vote of 4-1, Victoria became the fourth contestant eliminated from House of Villains Season 2. She’s not winning $200,000, so she’s going to need to find another way to pay off all of her parking tickets.

In a flashback, the votes are revealed, and we see that Teresa ended up voting to eliminate Victoria. She explained that she simply couldn’t “cross the Bravo family.” Somewhere, Andy Cohen has a huge grin on his face.

Before Victoria got flipped through the wall, Tiffany interjected and revealed that she was the lone vote to save Victoria. She was trying to make her feel better, but it actually just made Victoria angry at Teresa for not keeping her word. Thus, she got into one final argument before leaving the game for good.

“Keep being stupid,” Victoria told Tre.

The bickering continued, and Kandy had to retake control of the room. As the Supervillain of the Week, she channeled her inner RuPaul and gave Victoria a send-off worthy of Drag Race.

“Victoria, you walked into this competition as a queen,” Kandy began. “Unfortunately for you, tonight, the only queen you’re serving is Queen Elizabeth. That is dead.”

She continued, “I only have one thing to say to you. Sashay away!”

Joel drops a plot twist

Just when you thought the episode was over, good old Joel jumped in with a twist. The villains hardly had any time to process Victoria’s banishment, and it turns out, he’s the one getting the last laugh this week.

He instructed the villains to line themselves up from most villainous to least villainous. That was easier said than done because no one wanted it because Tiffany and Kandy clashed over the number one spot. In a classic case of drag delusion, Kandy tried to say she was a bigger villain than New York.

Meanwhile, Wes realized that there was probably a catch. He’s competed in like five thousand episodes of The Challenge, so you really can’t fool him with something like this. He’s seen it all, and he decided to find a spot in the middle of the lineup to try to stay safe from whatever twist Joel had coming.

On the other hand, Teresa happily plopped herself down at the end as the “least villainous.” Her sister-in-law would probably disagree.

Once the villains all got settled into their placements, Joel dropped the big bombshell. There’s a surprise double banishment, and somehow, the way they lined up will play a factor in how it shakes out. To be continued.

House of Villains continues on E! every Thursday at 10/9c.
