House of Villains Season 2, episode 7 recap - blood bath

This week on House of Villains, we finally saw the villains wake up from their season-long slumber. It's been a bit slow going in terms of drama for the season 2 cast, but it's good to see these bad guys and gals finally stepping up their game. From a surprise hit list elimination to a supervillain scam, let's take a look at the biggest battles in the latest episode, Blood Bath.

Larsa vs Victoria

These frienemies finally solidified their enemy status. Larsa made it very well known what she tickets of the Bachelor's Queen villain, Victoria Larson, and it's not pretty. "You can't sit with us" was the vibe at the cast breakfast this week, and while Teresa stood up for Vicky, Larsa was having none of the tears and the drama. I don't think she'll ever get over Victoria's dog peeing all over her pup's birthday party.

Teresa has a soft spot for her roommate, though. We haven't seen her claws come out yet this season. She was down to defend Vicky, but even then, she and Larsa really weren't arguing. They just had a very calm discussion. Where is that Real Housewives energy, ladies?!

Teresa vs New York

The argument between Teresa Giudice and Tiffany 'New York' Pollard last week almost seems like a footnote to this episode. The biggest surprise was New York apologizing to Teresa for accusing her husband of cheating on her. She claims it was just a joke, but no one was laughing.

I honestly thought the ladies stirred up fake drama to keep us entertained, but once again, Teresa stays cool as a cucumber. They may not be best buddies now, but they aren't gunning for each other either.

Kandy vs Wes

Wes is my favorite Challenger of all time, and in this episode, you can see why. Knowing he will be up for elimination for pulling the puppet strings around the house, Wes knows he has to make a game-changing move. With Kandy Muse winning the battle royale challenge and supervillain status, Wes is the main target and makes a big gamble to keep himself safe for another week.

Drawing inspiration from his own frienemy, The Challenge and House of Villains alum Johnny Bananas, Wes creates a fake advantage card to turn the tables on Kandy. Pretending he has the power to select a new supervillain, Wes convinces Kandy to keep him safe if he doesn't use the advantage card. Does it work? Keep reading.

Housewives alliance

While Kandy, New York, and Mr. Pectacular strengthen their friendship in the rage room reward and strategize for this week's hit list, the plot thickens between two other villains.

Larsa and Teresa aren't exactly seeing eye to eye, leaving room for another housewife to step in. Who else would it be but...Wes Bergmann. Wes and Teresa have a secret alliance after last week's winner reward and decide to keep it going to further their games. The Real Housewives of the Valley...coming soon?

Hit list nominations

Larsa and Victoria are openly campaigning against one another works, but not in their favor. Supervillain of the week, Kandy Muse, puts both women up on the hit list, along with Safaree, who has been pretty under the radar this week. Obviously, it's not under the radar enough, though. With Wes safe, thanks to his made-up advantage, someone has to go. My money is on Safaree.

Who will be the next villain to get flipped next episode?
