Reality TV fans have a new show to add to their watchlist this fall, courtesy of E!: House of Villains. The show’s concept brings together 10 iconic “villains” from various reality shows (including Flavor of Love’s Tiffany “New York” Pollard, Vanderpump Rules‘ Jax Taylor, The Bachelor‘s Corinne Olympios, The Apprentice’s Omarosa Manigault Newman and more) as they go head to head against each other every week to avoid elimination and earn some hefty prize money.
The show premiered on Thursday, October 12, and it’s already getting lots of buzz.
Here’s everything you need to know about the show, including a few spoilers.

What is House of Villains?
The reality show is hosted by Joel McHale. The villains are all living together, and each week, they must compete against one another in different Battle Royale challenges to become the Supervillain of the Week. One villain will get eliminated each episode, per IMDB. The winner of Supervillain of the Week also gets a “luxury reward,” which they are allowed to share with two other villains. Host McHale noted that the purpose is to “to make alliances and stuff,” per Vulture.
The winner of Supervillain of the Week also gets to choose three other villains to be on the week’s Hit List, and one of those three will be eliminated.
The end goal: to become “America’s Ultimate Supervillain.”
What does the winner get?
The winner gets a pretty sweet prize at the end of the show: $200,000.
What has happened so far?
The show got underway last night. The cast participated in their first challenge (which involved ball-rolling). Johnny Bananas and Omarosa went head-to-head as the last two standing, and in the end Omarosa was crowned Supervillain of the Week.
Omarosa chose Love & Hip Hop star Bobby Lytes and Bad Girls Club star Tanisha Thomas to enjoy some spa time with her. Ultimately, Omarosa named Jax, Corinne, and Love Is Blind’s Shake Chatterjee to her Hit List.
Who gets booted on night 1?
Spoiler alert: nobody went home! All 10 villains were safe from elimination.
