What happens when you bring together some of <\/span>reality television’s most infamous villains<\/a> under one roof for a competition series? Chaos, scheming, and surprise guests that’ll get your hairs standing on end.<\/span><\/p>\n On Thursday, E! released the first look at its new upcoming\u00a0competition elimination series,\u00a0<\/span>House of Villains<\/span><\/em>.\u00a0Hosted by Joel McHale, the series unites 10\u00a0notorious reality “villains” from some of the most popular\u00a0reality television franchises to\u00a0outsmart, out-manipulate and out-scheme each other through a series of challenges in order to win a $200,000 cash prize and the title of America’s Ultimate Supervillain.<\/span><\/p>\n The star-studded cast will see the likes of\u00a0Anfisa Arkhipchenko (<\/span>90 Day Finac\u00e9)<\/span><\/em>,\u00a0<\/span>The Challenge<\/span><\/em>‘s\u00a0<\/span>Johnny Bananas<\/a>,\u00a0Shake Chatterjee from\u00a0<\/span>Love Is Blind<\/span><\/em>,\u00a0<\/span>Survivor<\/span><\/em>‘s\u00a0Jonny Fairplay, Bobby Lytes, Corinne Olympios of\u00a0<\/span>Bachelor<\/span><\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Bachelor in Paradise<\/span><\/em>\u00a0fame,\u00a0<\/span>Omarosa Manigault Newman<\/a>,\u00a0Tiffany “New York” Pollard,\u00a0<\/span>Vanderpump Rule<\/span><\/em>\u00a0alum\u00a0<\/span>Jax Taylor<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Tanisha Thomas.<\/span><\/p>\n According to the show’s official synopsis, each week the contestants compete in a battle-royale challenge that tests their physical, mental and emotional strength. The winner of the challenge is safe from elimination and at the end of the week one villain is sent home. It’s the battle of the century as alliances are made, trusts are broken and the villains scheme their way to the top.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n That much is obvious from the action-packed trailer, which introduces several villains that hail from franchises such as\u00a0<\/span>The Bachelor<\/span><\/em>, <\/span>MTV’s\u00a0The Challenge<\/span><\/em>,\u00a0<\/span>Love Is Blind<\/span><\/em>,\u00a0<\/span>Vanderpump Rules<\/span><\/em>,\u00a0<\/span>Love & Hip-Hop<\/span><\/em>,\u00a0<\/span>Survivor\u00a0<\/span><\/em>and <\/span>The Bad Girls Club<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Tensions rise as the stars compete in various challenges, which include trying to melt ice blocks with their bodies, a complicated cart race and a ball-filled race against time. And what’s a show without some\u00a0surprise appearances? The trailer teases brief visits\u00a0from Danielle Staub, Spencer Pratt and Abby Lee Miller.<\/span><\/p>\n But the challenges don’t only come in the form of games. It seems some villains can’t help but rub each other the wrong way, as seen in a clip where Pollard rails against Omarosa, calling her a “c**k sucking, c*m guzzling, Republican c**t.”<\/span><\/p>\n “This show is gonna be really good,” McHale quips in reply.<\/span><\/p>\n
