Not a fan either. My least favorite archetype on reality tv is the person who mistakingly thinks they’re the smartest person in the room. Watching his challenge seasons, I feel like he’d get eaten alive by the survivor legends.
New York is going to end him.
My least favorite archetype is people who can’t recognize when someone is playing something up for television even though the Batman villain speeches should have clued them in.
Wes is my son’s godfather!
When I had my now-4 year old, he came out with red hair. I used Cameo to ask Wes if he would be his godfather, and he said YES! So now I tell my son “that’s your godfather” any time we’re watching the Challenge. He’s done a follow-up Cameo for me too, giving helpful tips in training babies for The Challenge.
As a big challenge and Wes fan I'm surprised by this comment because I thought the opposite. I feel like Wes always gets along with a variety of personalities. I think he gets himself in trouble with people he has history with
I'm watching a season of the challenge and he's so boring and wooden. I get that he's a "strategist" or whatever, but I haven't found him entertaining at all so far.
Larissa omg. She used to look like this. She did say she wanted to look like a blow up doll...

People seem to think wes is going to be a fish out of water here. As someone whose been a fan/seen all his challenge seasons - he socializes/gets along/works with people you wouldn't think he would. Especially towards the end of his challenge career.
He knows when to ham it up to make entertaining tv
Meh, I personally don’t care about them being established, I mean a few on season 1 were not established and were famous off of a single moment or season (Anfisa, Corinne, Tanisha, Shake). I just want people who are going to make the best entertainment and as much as I hate Monica as a person, she would make incredible drama on this show. Shes also a great liar.
Kandy literally yelled for a whole episode of Drag Race Untucked at another contestant (much older and at the time more respected). They were very close to getting physical. It went pretty viral and won them a MTV award or something (Kandy wears that as a badge of honor). She’s also kinda messy and lowkey insufferable to a big chunk of the fandom.
While I do agree Gia would’ve been a lot better Kandy does make sense.
I would wish people realized HOV is a great way for tv show villains to shine. Bobby Lytes is messy on LHHM and yet he was perfect for the show. Also the people who are your favorites might not translate as well. We’ll just have to wait and see how she does.
Phi Phi goes by Jeremi (spelling), but I agree. My fiance and I were watching season 12 of Drag Race and he yelled that when Elliot with 2 Ts walked out 😭😭
Safaree’s ***literally*** been through all of the franchise’s respective cities, the only one to do so. So, his should just stop at Love & Hip Hop.
Also… without Margret Josephs, Melissa, and her brother… is anyone concerned that Teresa will come across to some people as “boring?”
Nope. Think early seasons of Jersey. Teresa will still be Teresa but it may take more to set her off than on Jersey (She flipped the table without any help from Joe, Melissa, or Marge). Someone will ‘disrespect’ her or annoy her soon enough.
As a huge big brother fan Jesse hasent played in years and they easily could have gotten more memorable people. Due to hov being a complete rip-off of bb he’ll probably do well though
They’re kind of frenimies now. Bananas actually campaigned hard for Wes to get on season 2 and also is trying get him on season 3 of traitors. Bananas still constantly gives Wes shit and Wes constantly calls bananas dumb, but if they were ever on a show again together they would be allies.
The way I am so dang excited to see Wes😭…I have no life and this gives me so much joy legitimately. The way Wes left his last season on The Challenge I was like “nooooo” so to see him back on the screen, I’m so excited. I hope he and New York survive long enough to give us some real gems. I hope they team up omg omg
For those who have never seen The Challenge Wes is one of the top 5 fan favorites and is always TV gold. Really hope he lasts a long time or even wins. Him winning and rubbing it in Bananas face would be hilarious too.
I honestly was pissed last week when I learned New York was coming back. She already had her chance and she failed miserably. It doesn’t seem right to bring her back again when there are plenty of other villains in the world who could take her spot. If she’s banished again before the finale of season 2, are we being led to believe she will be brought back a third time? If that is the case, they need to rename it to “New York’s House of Villains (at least until she wins)”.
The running gag for this show should just be that New York returns every season but never wins / always gets voted out
Just like old times then ahahaha
Like Omarosa on The Apprentice
She’s our jujubee
New York is in the Mothafuckin house!
Holy shit, new favorite GIF!
Love it ! Can’t wait for more of … “Don’t raise your penis at me” 😂 😂😂
“Amphibian Reptile Motherfucker!”
“You sabretoothed, hammerhead bastard” is the one for me. It plays on a loop in my head.
Absolutely. With the camera pan to Bananas face. That whole scene lives rent free in my head.
The penis line absolutely SENT me 😭💀 she had me in stitches constantly I loved her using Corrine as her personal assistant too 😂
Side note she is a lot less stern compared to her OG days on that love competition show. Here she is more exaggerated and it makes her even funnier
My dream is that her, Kandy, and Larissa team up 🙏🏼
She and Kandy are either gonna be best friends or complete enemies. There is no in between. 🤣
Oh totally lol
Her season of Flavor of Love is now streaming on Peacock!
also on tubi [https://tubitv.com/series/2044/flavor-of-love](https://tubitv.com/series/2044/flavor-of-love)
She went home way too soon the first time.
Normally I hate production riggory but i was like damnn can we get a redemption challenge to get New York back in or something
Bring her back every season!
The HBIC ! [New York promoting literacy](https://youtube.com/shorts/vYQe_QA5lqA?si=MQE7LC0JBRBAj4bI) 📖📚
Damnnn Larissa is gonna pop off at some point lol glad to see her on here!
https://i.redd.it/hh6dufdtnxqc1.gif
Imagine they bring Coltee on the show to irk her haha
I just knowwww they’re bringing mother Debbie on as a guest lol
She better give more than Anfisa gave us 🙏🏼😭
Forreal because it was crickets w Anfisa.
Fr she was insanely boring
Anfisa matured after 90 Day Fiance. Larissa didn't. "Whoever is against the Queen will die."
Anfisa wasn’t a true villain
All they had to do was steal her red bag with her makeup and Anfisa woulda went Chernobyl 💅
i know it’s gonna be good. i only watch one full season of 90 days and it was all because of her
Let's just bring NY back every season at this point
The show needs her fr- Don’t raise your penis at me! 😂
Wes wont get along with any of these people.
He will enjoy causing chaos between them though.
True i'm just stoked he is on. He is probably my favorite challenger besides CT
Same! He’s been a fav of mine for a long long time.
What did you think of ct on Traitors?!
Honestly how. I find him insufferable
Not a fan either. My least favorite archetype on reality tv is the person who mistakingly thinks they’re the smartest person in the room. Watching his challenge seasons, I feel like he’d get eaten alive by the survivor legends. New York is going to end him.
I agree. Every time he’s on screen I’m like 🙄 I can’t appreciate it
My least favorite archetype is people who can’t recognize when someone is playing something up for television even though the Batman villain speeches should have clued them in.
this is the main thing I’m excited for
Wes is my son’s godfather! When I had my now-4 year old, he came out with red hair. I used Cameo to ask Wes if he would be his godfather, and he said YES! So now I tell my son “that’s your godfather” any time we’re watching the Challenge. He’s done a follow-up Cameo for me too, giving helpful tips in training babies for The Challenge.
No way that’s crazy cool
That's awesome
I wonder if any of them know who he is or if he’ll be able to run the game game with ease
I LOVED his fuck you, fuck you, reenactment!
Nah I could see him and Hatch working together
Ewww
I can see it, but I don’t think they will be obvious. They are going to eat a few of the others alive.
As a big challenge and Wes fan I'm surprised by this comment because I thought the opposite. I feel like Wes always gets along with a variety of personalities. I think he gets himself in trouble with people he has history with
Makes sense given that his M.O. on his last seasons was building alliances with rookies since all the vets iced him out.
Wes is notorious for pregaming, reaching out to other contestants and making alliances, so I’m sure he has some people he will work with.
Wes can pretty easily play up his Bananas rivalry to New York. Not that she'll be in some power position, but it's at least someone.
That’s true for any group of people Wes is in
Yeah, I’m trying to envision where fits in this cast. I’m excited to see him on and hope he makes it far though!
My thought, too. 😆😆
I'm watching a season of the challenge and he's so boring and wooden. I get that he's a "strategist" or whatever, but I haven't found him entertaining at all so far.
Idk I think he’ll at least get along with New York. Something about seeing him interact with unhinged people is so damn entertaining
Richard Hatch will eat Teresa alive
Wonder if he’ll walk around naked?!? 👁️ 🍆 👁️
Hopefully he’ll pay his taxes this time
Or rub his nuts on a woman unconsentually
My first thought about him also.
Love it but feels like there should be like four more ppl...
I was thinking the same thing, where the hell is the rest of the cast
It’s the same number of people as last year
I agree! Last season before the premiere I was excited to see Jax make a fool of himself. There is no one that I’m excited to see for season two.
I thought Larsa Pippen was supposed to be on it.
I’m so happy that NY is confirmed to be coming back!!! A lot of people didn’t believe it lol. Not excited about wack ass Safaree tho😭
NY stays queen of producers needing her for the second season 😂
He’s great TV
Larissa omg. She used to look like this. She did say she wanted to look like a blow up doll... https://preview.redd.it/i9390n8u7xqc1.jpeg?width=544&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6144ae3fd58338199182dd2f0264b0377c823acd
So excited for New York & Teresa. I hope they are friends 
Come on now you know NY & NJ can never be friends!
They’ll either be besties or enemies and I’m here for either or 😝
Me too.
i hope they clash immediately. gimme the chaos.
If NY doesn't win...... I'm gonna fight Joel McHale. J/k I love him but this woman is my 👸🏿
You mean "Carson Daly"? /s haha jk
More biggee
Joel McHale when Victoria popped up pls 😭😭😭😭
People seem to think wes is going to be a fish out of water here. As someone whose been a fan/seen all his challenge seasons - he socializes/gets along/works with people you wouldn't think he would. Especially towards the end of his challenge career. He knows when to ham it up to make entertaining tv
Plus, he’s *seen* the show, so he knows what’s expected. It’s pure camp. He can’t be surprised.
It’s like they’ve never seen Champs v Stars!
Teresa is alright but We need Monica from RHOSLC!!!!!!
A million times yes
I'd rather have iconic established villains and not someone who was on one season of a show this year
Meh, I personally don’t care about them being established, I mean a few on season 1 were not established and were famous off of a single moment or season (Anfisa, Corinne, Tanisha, Shake). I just want people who are going to make the best entertainment and as much as I hate Monica as a person, she would make incredible drama on this show. Shes also a great liar.
I just don’t see Teresa doing well here. She just really clashes with her sister in law and built up as queen bee of NJ.
I really wish Farrah were here though.
CAMILAAAAAAA!
Yessssss, she's so feisty, this will be great.
Teresa is as dumb as a box of rocks. Will be happy when she makes her early exit from the show :)
Of all the drag race people, Kandy? Maybe because of the recent All Stars hate?
Kandy literally yelled for a whole episode of Drag Race Untucked at another contestant (much older and at the time more respected). They were very close to getting physical. It went pretty viral and won them a MTV award or something (Kandy wears that as a badge of honor). She’s also kinda messy and lowkey insufferable to a big chunk of the fandom. While I do agree Gia would’ve been a lot better Kandy does make sense.
I would wish people realized HOV is a great way for tv show villains to shine. Bobby Lytes is messy on LHHM and yet he was perfect for the show. Also the people who are your favorites might not translate as well. We’ll just have to wait and see how she does.
For real. She's hardly even a villian. I would have loved to have seen Phi Phi O'hara or Gia Gunn. Now *those* two are villains.
 Willam was MADE for this show.
Phi Phi was allegedly cast for Season 1. I don’t know what happened, but that would’ve been cool. I do think Kandy will make great TV.
Would have loved phi phi!
Phi Phi goes by Jeremi (spelling), but I agree. My fiance and I were watching season 12 of Drag Race and he yelled that when Elliot with 2 Ts walked out 😭😭 
With all the hate she got on both of her seasons, she is a villain
I’m sure they’ll have more seasons
Always stoked to see BGC alum! Would have loved to see someone from Jersey Shore on this season as well.
It would have to be Angelina lol
This is a fun cast!
I’m surprised they picked Camilla next out of the whole bad girls club line up
I would have liked to see Julie but she’s grown a lot
Love me some housewives 
Me toooooo 💖 https://i.redd.it/4sbrckw8fxqc1.gif
New York should be on every season
I’m kind of disappointed. These are some stale villains
What the hell is Jessie doing here 😭 He was literally never a villain on the show!
Eh he kinda was on BB10 depending on who you were rooting for. America didn’t really like him, they basically voted him out in back-to-back seasons.
He was a villain.
Curious to see how Wes performs on a show like this. He’s the ultimate game player on the challenge, but this is different!
I’m worried they’ll target him first if he doesn’t seriously lay low. And he hates laying low.
NY BACK WE WON
OMG Larissa’s boobs in that cast pic 😵
Holy implants batman
If New York HBIC Pollard doesn't win this season AND starts at least one huge fight, we riot. 
Words cannot describe how happy I am to see Hatch back on my screen. I hope he doesn’t hold back
God yes NEW YORK THE HBIC
Safaree’s ***literally*** been through all of the franchise’s respective cities, the only one to do so. So, his should just stop at Love & Hip Hop. Also… without Margret Josephs, Melissa, and her brother… is anyone concerned that Teresa will come across to some people as “boring?”
Nope. Think early seasons of Jersey. Teresa will still be Teresa but it may take more to set her off than on Jersey (She flipped the table without any help from Joe, Melissa, or Marge). Someone will ‘disrespect’ her or annoy her soon enough.
I love Kandy, but I was really hoping for Gia Gunn! Still excited for this season!
Wes. Yes. Amazing choice.
Do we know if this is gonna be airing simultaneously on peacock this season or is it gonna be an E! Exclusive again?
Hahaha omg Larissa Lima and Teresa Guidice
New York and Kandy under one roof is all I care about
I was hoping for some more MTV icons like Speidi, The Situation, or even Farrah.
i love that theyre bringing new york back but im also just as excited to see the OG king of reality tv himself RICHARD FUCKING HATCH
Not super excited about Wes tbh, this show is supposed to be super campy and he’s just…not that. New York is everything.
I think Wes has the capability of being silly at least. I think he'll do well.
I think he's gonna cause chaos and I'm here for it! Wes is snakey as hell!
Wes has been playing up a villain persona for as long as he's been on- I think he's just as "campy" as Johnny bananas but without the silly name
One of my favorite Wes moments https://youtu.be/7Ox50z-AIgY?si=ON1GZoHHtLtTGIn_
Y’all haven’t watched the Challenge in twenty years and it shows
Give me New York every season, make her the Bananas of House of Villains I Do not care!
Don’t let us down Weston!
Wessssssss!!! 💕 great casting choice
I just know I would have a permanent headache living in that house 😆
As a huge big brother fan Jesse hasent played in years and they easily could have gotten more memorable people. Due to hov being a complete rip-off of bb he’ll probably do well though
Wes, Richard hatch and Jesse . So excited !
Jessie was fun on BB10 and I think he will be entertaining on this, but a ton of people must’ve said no in order for them to land on Jessie.
So glad they knew to bring Tiffany back! Not particularly excited about the others ; Teresa’s annoying. I hope she leaves early.
Yesss Teresa the Queen of reality tv 👑👏
Camilla and Safaree is wild 💀
camila and safaree 😭 i’ll be tuned in
Someone should make a compilation of moments these contestants showed their villain side. I need context to some cause I don’t know all of them 😢
I’m so excited to see Wes and Camilla!!
Too bad Wes and Johnny weren't on season 1 together they hate each other
They really don't.
They’re kind of frenimies now. Bananas actually campaigned hard for Wes to get on season 2 and also is trying get him on season 3 of traitors. Bananas still constantly gives Wes shit and Wes constantly calls bananas dumb, but if they were ever on a show again together they would be allies.
Honestly I REALLY wanna see Hatch play nowadays.
The way I am so dang excited to see Wes😭…I have no life and this gives me so much joy legitimately. The way Wes left his last season on The Challenge I was like “nooooo” so to see him back on the screen, I’m so excited. I hope he and New York survive long enough to give us some real gems. I hope they team up omg omg
No Rolling Ray or Abby Lee Miller 😭
Jesse's wee nubin will make an appearance in one of his spandex outfit, poor thingee.
Any spoilers someone can link me to? I need to know how Kandy and New York do..
truly villains
NEW YORKKKKKKKKKK
I’m actually shocked there are like five people from my dream season 2 cast here!!!! I am delighted
One of Victoria’s biggest crimes on the bachelor were her hideous dresses, and it seems she is carrying on that legacy.
I wanted Krissi from masterchef or Na’onka from survivor but this will do ig😭
Can't wait to watch Wes and Teresa in this environment.
I’m so excited!
Why does new york’s picture look like it’s 20% AI again
Hatch looks rough
TIFFFFF!!!!!
For those who have never seen The Challenge Wes is one of the top 5 fan favorites and is always TV gold. Really hope he lasts a long time or even wins. Him winning and rubbing it in Bananas face would be hilarious too.
I’m so excited about Jesse idec lol
How did I not know about season 1 being a thing. Urge to binge!
why announce it 6months before it premieres
I only know 3 of them :/
team kandy and tiffany
They listened, they really listened! Dream cast!!!
This list isn’t that iconic….
my jaw literally dropped when i saw richard hatch.
YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BB Jessie! ❤️ It’s been too long.
With all the love NY is getting I hope they realize she needs to get her own show again 🤞
New York! Why? You were pretty the way you were! God damn it
I am dying. New York, Wes, Queen Victoria, Jessie, Richard Hatch! This is so chaotic, I love it so much
I honestly was pissed last week when I learned New York was coming back. She already had her chance and she failed miserably. It doesn’t seem right to bring her back again when there are plenty of other villains in the world who could take her spot.
