House of Villains Season 2, Episode 6 Recap: Teresa and New York Face Off

Elections have consequences—even in House of Villains. In this week’s episode, we faced the aftermath of Larsa winning the popular vote in last week’s Battle Royale Challenge. She became the Supervillain of the Week, and her first act? She nominated Camilla, Victoria, and Teresa for the Hit List.

Not only did Larsa betray her fellow Real Housewife, but it was the final nail in the coffin of her friendship with Victoria. Now, they’re officially frenemies, and that’s a dangerous place to be with a Housewife. Let’s dive into the details of House of Villains Season 2, Episode 6, “Welcome to NY, New Jersey!”

With the help of an extra-special guest, the villains on the Hit List competed in a Redemption Challenge to keep their spot in the competition. Meanwhile, New York had another psychic vision that left her no choice but to confront Teresa. By the end of the episode, another villain got kicked out of the competition. Plus, Mr. Pecactular oiled up his body and squeezed into a speedo for the Banishment Ceremony. Truly, there was something for everyone in this episode.

Welcome to Villains High

Of course, everyone was freaking the hell out over Larsa’s weird choices for the Hit List, but there was hardly any time to panic. They had a Redemption Challenge that sent them back to high school. That’s even scarier than being up for banishment!

The villains ventured to a high school, where none other than Tori Spelling came emerging in a sexy schoolteacher outfit to introduce the challenge. It was good to see her taking a break from battling the mold in her house to do something fun like House of Villains. Slay, Tori!

This week’s Redemption Challenge was called Erase to Escape, and Tori explained that her school had been “vandalized.” The names of a bunch of villains, past and present, were stamped all over the walls, lockers, bathroom stalls, and everywhere else you could imagine. Each villain had their name listed 85 times, and the three, at-risk villains had to race to erase their names the fastest. The first villain to erase all 85 names would win safety from elimination.

Once the villains got started, it became clear that this would be a very tedious challenge. It became particularly challenging for Teresa, who revealed that she struggles with her eyesight. In a confessional, she said she wanted to get “Lasiks” before coming into the House of Villians. She didn’t have time, and it cost her the challenge.

While Teresa blundered through the challenge, Camilla and Victoria stayed neck in neck. It all came down to one final name they had to find. Victoria managed to find hers the fastest, and she got erased from the Hit List.

Campaigning to stay alive

After the Redemption Challenge, the villains immediately started discussing their plans for elimination. Wes and his cult were immediately ready to throw Camilla to the wolves, primarily as revenge for putting him on the Hit List.

With that in mind, Kandy and Camilla immediately went to work to try to secure votes. They already sacrificed Richard by voting with the majority of the house. Now, the numbers are even more stacked against them.

When campaigning with the other villains, Camilla tried to explain to them just how badly she actually needed the $200,000 compared to Teresa. That’s life-changing money for Camilla, whereas Teresa has been on The Real Housewives of New Jersey for over ten years. She doesn’t need it nearly as badly.

Meanwhile, Larsa was going around the lair warning everyone “not to vote against the house.” She also bizarrely tried to claim that Teresa needed the money just as much as Camilla because she was “raising four daughters” and having to pay off Joe Giudice’s legal debts. It’s a ridiculous argument from a deeply unserious player.

Another psychic vision rattles the house

Elsewhere in the House of Villains lair, we learned that Tiffany had another psychic vision. This time, she saw a vision of herself getting banished from the game. She told Victoria that she only had three days left in the game.

When Victoria heard that information, she “panicked” because Teresa had mentioned wanting to target New York if she survived banishment and won Supervillain of the Week. A self-proclaimed “slut for a psychic,” Victoria decided to tell Tiffany that Tre was coming for her. That teed up the clash of the reality TV titans we’ve been waiting for.

Armed with nothing but psychic visions and secondhand knowledge, Tiffany went straight up to Teresa and said, “You know what? F-ck you, Teresa. You bitch! You coming for me? You’re coming for New York?”

It took a moment for Teresa to activate her Real Housewives of New Jersey mode, but once she did, it was glorious. She and New York went toe-to-toe in an argument sent straight from reality TV heaven.

During their back-and-forth, Tiffany took a shot at Tre’s beloved Luis Ruelas. He had been sending Teresa love notes the entire time they were filming, and that day, he sent her a giant bouquet of roses.

“You know why Luis really sent those roses? It’s because he’s guilty, bitch,” Tiffany argued. “He’s been f-cking around, and each one of these roses represents how many times she’s cheated on your ass since you’ve been here.”

Somewhere in New Jersey, Margaret Josephs is sipping an iced coffee and cackling at all of this. New York really let Teresa have it.

The battle continued, with Teresa accusing New York of being jealous of the roses she got from Luis. Tersa said the word “jealous” in this episode just as many times as Larsa mentioned The Traitors. It was a lot.

Once the two went to their separate corners, Teresa realized that her strongest allies in the house were the men. She went downstairs and told each of them, “You’re a fresh of breath air.”

New York blowing up on Teresa seemed like it should have sealed one more vote for Teresa to get the boot. Right before the banishment ceremony, Safaree also told Camilla that he’d vote for her to say. That meant that Jessie, in his wrestling gear, should have been the deciding vote on whether to eliminate Camilla or Teresa. Right? Wrong.

At the Banishment Ceremony, Joel announced that with a vote of 4-2, Camilla from Bad Girls Club became the third villain eliminated from House of Villains Season 2. Like a true Bad Girl, she threw up two middle fingers before getting flipped out of the competition.

“I think I was eliminated because I put Wes up, Camilla theorized in an exit interview. “He’s a bitch and he’s a sore loser. He felt threatened. I am a threat. I’m glad I put his ass up.”

Camilla also had some parting words for Safaree, who seemingly lied to her face about trying to keep her in the house. Either he lied, or someone else did a last-minute switch-up. Regardless, Camilla made her thoughts on him very clear.

She continued, “And Safree, you let a redhead control your game? F-ck you, Safaree.”

Season 2 of House of Villains continues on E!, Thursday nights at 10/9c.

Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18, Episode 18 Recap: The Toxicity Runneth Over

Welcome to the recap for Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18, Episode 18, “Reunion Part 1.” Last week, the women of the OC made sure to celebrate Jenn on her surprise yet not-so-surprise engagement to Ryan. In between the festivities, Heather tried to talk to Kate, but to no avail. Shannon shunned Katie’s husband, Matt, when she mistook his kindness for aggression.

The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion came in hot. Whether it was due to their metallic-themed gowns or just having the Midas touch this season, the ladies all wanted to be heard. Shannon and Tamra tried (yelled) to hash out their season-long conflict. Each shared their own version of events. But neither was heard in the heat of the battle. Heather once again tries to confront Katie, and Jenn is finally placed in the hot seat. 

Tamra didn’t yell once on the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion (so far)

After the formalities were out of the way, Shannon and Tamra wasted no time in butting heads. The Real for Real owner explained that the pair could never form a true friendship after Tamra came back into the fold. Even though I think Tamra was trying to extend an olive branch, all Shannon could muster up to say was, “A lot of open wounds here,” as she pointed to herself. But that was the theme of Season 18, wasn’t it? Both have not spoken since the finale. Shannon shared she “doesn’t use alcohol to cope.” But Tammy Sue disagreed, noting she still felt her former friend had an unhealthy relationship with alcohol. 

I must admit that Tamra sat on the couch as cool as a cucumber as Shannon tried to call out her bad behavior. Shannon’s monologue was great: “I went to a place for 30 days. And you had the audacity at Gina’s dinner to say ‘Lies. Lies. Lies.’” But Tamra came with the tea and noted, “Because you called me drunk several times after that. That’s why. One time, you called me drunk and went off like a crazy woman on me. Then you called me back ten minutes later and had the same conversation with me.”

Oh, if Shannon’s voice isn’t a meme in the morning, we’ve done something wrong.  By the first commercial break, the two were in a stalemate, with Tamra doubling down that Shannon had drank during her time in treatment. 

Katie and Heather’s fighting was just par for the course

While I was hoping to get a bit more information on Katie’s upcoming Korea trip, instead, viewers had to listen to three different renditions of how Heather snubbed the newbie at Sutton’s party. Mostly everyone agreed that the incident never happened because Heather would have been an idiot to do that, and she isn’t “a moron.” I don’t think I’ve ever seen Heather so passionate about something.

She bluntly told Katie, “It was weird. I was very interested in meeting you. Nothing about you adds up. I think there is a story for everything. And I think you have absolutely no credibility.” Katie didn’t stand a chance as she faltered on her comebacks. Heather quickly quipped, “By the way, falsely accusing people is kind of your thing,” hinting at a lawsuit filed by Sidnei Silva accusing her of reporting a fake crime.  

Jenn had to answer the hard questions at the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion

Sadly, Jenn still very much looked like a deer in the headlights as Andy tried to softball her questions about Ryan. For the yogi, that “day was hard. And I felt like Ryan went one way, and I went another way.” But not once did she think of ending her engagement. I mean, where would she live? Jenn’s version of events was confusing as she shared the FBI talking to Ryan happened seven months before the party. Jennifer revealed Ryan had two Zoom calls with the bureau.

Jenn didn’t appreciate how Tamra insinuated Ryan was the one in trouble. Thank God for Emily, who at least dumbs it down for viewers and Jenn. The lawyer insinuated that Ryan was involved after Jenn said he was innocent. Em stated, “That’s not true. I’m telling you everything I’ve read, he is involved. And for order to him to have immunity, he testifies.” When Andy asked how Ryan would have been given immunity, Emily said, “I think he is giving them information about Matt so they can prosecute.”

Jenn questioned Emily’s research, saying, “I don’t know where everyone gets that.” But Emily was done with the charade and clapped back, “Before I’m an attorney, and that’s how it works.: Naturally, Emily got the last word, telling Jenn, “You always do this Tammy Wynette Stand by Your Man thing. And sometimes, you just need to be accountable. ”

 The Real Housewives of Orange County continues on Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.

Love Is Blind’s Ramses Prashad ‘Happy’ for Ex-Fiancée Marissa George After Her Relationship News

Ramses Prashad is not feeling anything but happiness for his Love Is Blind ex-fiancée Marissa George’s new relationship. He hopes for nothing but the best for her and her new mystery man.

Ramses shared that he knew she was dating someone even before the social media launch and was thrilled she had met someone who could make her happy.

Love Is Blind’s Ramses Prashad is sending good vibes his ex-fiancée’s way

“I was aware she was dating someone,” Rases shared on the The Viall Files podcast. “She’s been dating him for the last few months or earlier in the year, and yeah, I’m happy for her. If it’s someone that can embrace her for who she is and she’s happy, then that’s great!”

Because he knew already, Ramses said that Marissa’s hard launch didn’t “catch him off-guard.”

Marissa teased her new boyfriend, although she hasn’t revealed his name yet. She posted footage of the two of them dancing together on Halloween with the caption, “Life has a funny way of surprising you. I never expected to fall in love again, let alone with someone who embraces all my energy and flaws.”

She added, ‘When we first met, I asked him if I was too much. He looked at me, confused, and said, ‘What do you mean?’ I simply said ‘Never mind,’ and from that moment on, I never questioned my energy again.”

So all’s well that ends well. Ramses admitted to being unable to be who she needed. The pair split up during Love Is Blind Season 7 and it was painfully obvious the pair weren’t well suited.

Now it looks like she’s found someone who can be what she needs. “It’s going very well,” Marissa shared about her new relationship.

As for Ramses, he’s also moved on as well. And him and Marissa? They don’t keep in touch. “She texted me once after the reunion but it went from we’re pretty friendly now to nothing there. That’s fine. I really do want her to move on,” he shared. 

Love Is Blind is currently streaming on Netflix.
