It hurts to say it, but Season 3 house of villains Has officially lost its momentum. Had it not been for this week’s parade of special guests, it’s hard to imagine how they would have filled 60 Minutes.
Last week, Kate returned to the supervillain spot for the second week in a row, but the show left us confused as to who she would add to the hit list.
We saw he sent Sandoval and Tyson into exile, but who else? We finally got the answer in House of Villains Season 3 Episode 8, “I’m sorry you had to see this.”
What happened in House of Villains Season 3 Episode 8?
On this week’s episode of House of Villains, two-time supervillain Kate chooses her final hit list, and then later has some regrets about her decision. Plus, HOV Season 2’s Candy Muse came out to host this week’s Redemption Challenge, and she brought a whole bunch of special guests with her.
We saw an unexpected Vanderpump Rules reunion, a reunion with one of New York’s former lovers, and a heartwarming mother-daughter reunion. But, when it comes to the actual game? We have hardly made any progress.
Who did Kate include in the hit list?
In Stronghold, Kate made it clear that her main targets were Tyson and Tom. She didn’t really care who landed that third place, and after leaving us in a tough position, it was revealed that she chose Christine from Selling Sunset. We waited a whole week for that?
Like the last time Christine was up for deportation, the realtor and the reality star could hardly react in unison. He’s just…there. And honestly, that’s why Kate put her on the list. She’s a floater, and half the time she acts like she has no idea what’s going on in the game.
As the episode unfolds, Kate begins to second-guess her decision to put Christine on the list. She may be unintentionally skipping over Season 3, but New York isn’t doing that. The three-time contestant has decided to dive right into Tom and Tyson’s bromance. She basically wants to be his third.
If Kate’s goal is to break that alliance, her plan is now in danger of failing. This is especially true if Tyson or Tom wins the Redemption Challenge. And let’s face it, Christine is definitely not going to win that redemption challenge unless it involves selling a million dollar house.
Toms reunite for Redemption Challenge
Candy arrived on the set of House of Villains to host this week’s Redemption Challenge, and it was revealed that she brought backup. Each villain on the hit list got a special plus-one to help them compete.
Tom Schwartz arrives fresh from the set of The Valley and giving us an unexpected Pump Rules reunion. Hilariously, Kate said she was expecting to see Ariana Madix walking out the door.
Christine was linked with her Selling Sunset co-star, Davina Portratz. Meanwhile, Tyson got a big advantage. They took out Survivor OG Gervase Peterson!
To win the challenge, they had to work together to rotate a metal hook around a curved pipe. If they touch the pipe, it means they have to start again. To make things even more awkward, the villain was also hit in the face with water.
Unexpectedly, Tyson and Gervase crushed the challenge. After all, they are Survivor players. This is what they do! Those divas of Selling Sunset and Pump Rules hardly got any chance.
House of Villains hosts a family reunion
Tyson winning the Redemption Challenge was probably the worst-case scenario for Kate and anyone else pitted against the bromance alliance. That guy is a threat, and if anyone in that alliance has to go home, it’s going to be him.
Before anyone could process that conclusion, Candy arrived at the lair and brought a busload of people with her. It turned out that Davina, Gervase and Schwartz weren’t the only special guests. There was someone waiting for every player.
Big Brother winner Josh Martinez appeared as Paul’s plus one, and Chance from I Love New York came to support his ex-boyfriend.
Meanwhile, chef Ben Robinson from Below Deck came to support Kate by drinking cocktails and talking dirty. This was just what he needed.
The most excited of the special visitors was Drita and her daughter, Aliya D’Avanzo. Drita almost lost her mind after seeing him, but if you’ve seen Drita on Mob Wives, you’ll understand. She doesn’t play about her daughters.
Being in Aliya’s house, Drita became completely soft. She even has her first real conversation with Tyson in the entire season. Maybe he should stay full time?
Kate came under fire from two different directions
During the house party, Kate found herself embroiled in not one, but two arguments. The first was with New York, and the episode got its title because she said to Chef Ben, “I’m sorry you had to see this.”
The drama began when New York approached Kate and started telling her how badly she wanted Tom to stay in the game. Kate tells him she felt the same way until the envelope fiasco last week.
“Do you want to go in his place? You should volunteer as a tribute,” Kate told New York. “If you feel strongly about it.”
Tiffany replied, “Okay, Kate, don’t be mean to me.”
Things went downhill from there. In New York, a fight broke out in front of the entire party. Kate sat back and let him out. She knows that New York is just doing its job.
This was the moment when Kate realized that she might have made a mistake by not nominating Tiffany for the hit list. Then, her night got worse when she ran into Sandoval. It all started when Candy asked a question that seemed to be taken from a Real Housewives episode.
He asked, “Who do you trust the least here?”
Kate said that she trusted Tom the least and he didn’t handle that information well. He began screaming and his face turned red, still trying to claim he had nothing to do with last week’s death sentence letter. Kate wasn’t buying it, and this anger may have sealed Tom’s fate in the game.
Did anyone get exiled on House of Villains Season 3 Episode 8?
As heartwarming as it was to see Drita reunite with her adult daughter, and as great as it was to see some old reality TV stars back on our screens, House of Villains is a competition show, and people need to grow out of competition shows. This did not happen this week. Things ended on another cliffhanger – the second in a row.
Sure, there was an unexpected double elimination earlier this season due to Ashley’s mysterious illness, but this game is moving at a snail’s pace, and the comedic bits aren’t enough to make up for it this time. Let’s keep the show going, Joel!
With this being said, the villains reached the fort and cast their votes. It ended up being a tie, meaning the decision on who would be banished would fall to the supervillains.
This means that Kate’s power streak will continue in the next episode. Tune in next week to see who Kate decides to exile, but for now, things aren’t looking good for Tom.
